Voting opens on October 13 and runs into the beginning of Minecraft Live where the winner will be announced. Whatever the choices end up being, we'll have 48 hours to vote at, in the game launcher, or a special public Minecraft: Bedrock server built for the occasion like last year. My personal favorite from last year, the Minecraft sniffer, was picked by the community, so I'm hoping to keep my popular pick streak. This year's videos are boat themed, so it seems likely we may see some kind of ocean-dwelling creature as well.Īs it goes every year, the race will likely be a contentious one as players all attempt to suss out which proposed creature will add the most interesting new features to the game. Mojang will be announcing the other two candidates in their own animated shorts this week but both are still under wraps as of this writing. I imagine that will help build-focused players like me complete projects without running about to different sides of our scaffolding while working on roofs and other details. So it's like one of those long pole grabby hooks, then. Mojang says that the crab claw (presumably possible loot from killing crabs) will help players place blocks further away from themselves. Our first potential new mob is the crab, which lives in the mangrove swamp biome.

The mob vote is back for 2023: Ahead of the yearly Minecraft Live show on October 15, we'll be able to cast our votes on three different mob hopefuls, which Mojang has begun introducing today. In yearly tradition, Minecraft is letting us choose what kind of creature will be included in its next major update.
