Minecraft Live 2023: Vote for the crab!

What’s that waving at Tiny Vu? Oh! It must be the crab, one of the three new mobs that wants to join Minecraft! The crab makes its home in the mangrove swamp and has one enormous claw! It doesn't just use it for waving at players (hello!) - this giant claw is actually very special. If a player manages to find one, they can use it to place blocks further away when building.

I’m guessing it would go in the shield slot

[AZALEA_HG]

I’m glad they seem to be being as straightforward as possible about what the mob does this time

[tidalbow]

We must vote so that each mob has the same number of votes. Then mojang will have to add them all.
Minecraft community... assemble.

Even if there's no variants like the frogs, I'm sure a lot of people would like to see them show up on beaches as well, even if they show up more often in the Mangrove Swamps.

I feel like it should spawn in beaches, it’d be fun to have more than just the sea turtle there, but still a unique mob, can’t wait to see what comes next

If the crab wins, it better dance when we play discs in a nearby jukebox. Just for the meme.

[thisischris]

Not a bad option. Wonder what the other options will be though

[toycat]

I hope that every mob this year has an item as cool as the crab claw.

Eagerly looking forward to the next couple of mobs tomorrow and Thursday, either way :)

RIP Crab, he will now rot into the dungeons with Iceologer, Moobloom, Tuff Golem, etc. 😔

[TimeBucks]

This mob vote already looks quite promising!

[owenkuhnke]

Would be nice if they could spawn in beaches, regular swamps, and oceans too

[soupymitchr]

That crab pack is hitting real nice right now:

>Swear up and down the Armadillo and Penguin are useless
>They vote for the Crab
>Penguin is the first mob out but Mojang implies it will show up in a future update
>Loses in a landslide to the Armadillo
>Mojang says nothing about the Crab
>Realize their votes are the most useless of them all
>Cope

[donaterdosi]

The crab is instantly more useful than all the mobs from the last vote

[CaptainSmth]

They better make it so that if you play a music disc, it will do the Crab Rave dance.

[BlockFacts]

I'm just here to see the Tinies on their animated adventure lol

[dotthedot]

Please let them have a jukebox interaction, it's all that we ask for

[randomguywholikesstuff]

If the crab gets added, we will be one step closer to Crab Rave in Minecraft.

[HueSolaris]

Crab already gains big fans!
Always waving happily and useful for builders.
Solid 8.5/10

[PcTheCoconut]

For anyone who's wondering, the Crab is based on the blue fiddler crab

[chaos_code]

Dual wielded crab claws have GOT to look cool
