Mob Vote

The three options for the mob vote

As with Minecraft:MINECON Earth 2017 and Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2020, viewers were able to vote for a new mob to be added to the game in a future update. Each mob received its own video justifying its inclusion.

The mobs that were on the vote were the glare, allay, and the copper golem.

• The Minecraft:glare<ref>Template:Ytl</ref><ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> would have been a small ghost-like mob that would have been able to alert players to an area that is dark enough for hostile mobs to spawn in.

• The Minecraft:allay<ref name="allay-youtube">Template:Ytl</ref><ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> is a small fairy-like mob that is able to collect greater amounts of an item that is given to it. It picks up dropped items in loaded chunks and is able to carry up to a stack at a time,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/q81usv/comment/hgmfpl6/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> and is not able to duplicate items<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> or take items out of chests.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> It drops the items that it collects when in range to the Minecraft:player, but can also return items to a Minecraft:note block<ref name="allay-youtube" /> that has been played.

• The copper golem<ref name="copper-tweet">Template:Tweet</ref> is a small robot-like mob that is created with copper. This idea was scrapped in 2021, but returned for Minecraft:The Copper Age drop in 2025.

The mobs that lost the mob vote are shelved indefinitely, and may or may not be added in the future.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/q81usv/comment/hgmlk3g/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> Despite having lost the vote, the copper golem has been selected to be part of the Copper Age drop.

Results

Voting took place in two rounds. The losing mob, the glare, was eliminated from consideration after the first round. The winner of the second and final round was the allay.
