The '''barnacle''',<ref name="BarnacleDevPanel">{{ytl|vh04binv1bQ|MINECON Earth 2018 - The Minecraft Developers panel!|Minecraft|October 2, 2018|t=33m16s}}</ref> originally known as '''Mob A''' or the "'''Monster of the Ocean Depths'''", was a proposed [[Minecraft:mob]] featured in the [[Minecraft:2017 Mob Vote|Mob Vote]] during [[Minecraft:MINECON Earth 2017]], alongside the [[Minecraft:great hunger]], the [[Minecraft:phantom]] and the [[Minecraft:wildfire]].<ref>{{mcnet|announcing-minecon-earth|Announcing...

It was an ocean creature that resembled a gigantic counterpart of the real-world animal, which would have sucked down players down with its tentacle. The mob spawns in the [[Minecraft:deep ocean]] [[Minecraft:biome]] and has a large mouth that it uses to propel itself through the water and pull players down into the ocean. In a promotional video for the Mob Vote, [[Minecraft:Jeb]] encouraged players to vote for 'Mob A' as "the oceans currently don't have that much content, and it would make it more exciting when traveling from island to island."<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|930076496294760448|At this year's MINECON Earth, YOU decide which mob makes it into the game. Will you vote for Mob A, the Monster of the Ocean Depths? Get acquainted here!|November 13, 2017}}</ref> While the barnacle was ultimately scrapped, the concept of a water-based mechanic that pulled players down was later added with the [[Minecraft:magma blocks]] being given the ability to create [[Minecraft:bubble column]]s.<br />

The barnacle was eliminated after the first poll, receiving only 23% of the votes.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|931937794951348224|Three mobs remain but only one gets added to the game! Vote for the mob you want added to Minecraft now|November 18, 2017}}</ref><br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* The barnacle was originally part of [[Minecraft:Update Aquatic]]'s feature slate before being moved to the mob vote, as the developers were unsure of how it would have been received by the community.<ref name="BarnacleDevPanel"/><br />
* The barnacle is referenced in [[Minecraft:Terra Swoop Force]], one of the death messages joking about the player voting for it.<br />
