As with Minecraft:MINECON Earth 2017 and Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2020, 2021 and 2022, viewers were able to vote for a new mob to be added to the game in a future update.

The voting began on October 13, 2023 at 17:00 UTC, and ended on October 15, 2023 at 17:15 UTC. Like the previous year, the Minecraft:2023 Mob Vote Event took place in an event server on Minecraft:Bedrock Edition, via the Minecraft:Minecraft Launcher, and on minecraft.net.<ref name=MCLive2023/> Additionally, players from mainland China were also able to vote in the Minecraft:China Edition launcher.<ref name="China">https://twitter.com/ZouChenyunfei/status/1710728806372458512</ref><ref>Template:Cite</ref>

Those who participated in the Mob Vote 2023 got the “Cherry Blossom” Minecraft Minecraft:Java Edition and later Minecraft:Bedrock Edition cape.

The mob vote had three mobs to vote on: the crab, the armadillo, and the penguin. Minecraft:Jens Bergensten described the options as “cute animals” at the Minecraft China Developers Conference held in Chengdu, China on September 27.<ref>https://bilibili.com/video/BV1uw411m7vY</ref>

This was the final edition of the mob vote, as it was retired the following year.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>

Crab

Template:Main The crab spawns in Minecraft:mangrove swamps. The player can obtain a crab claw which allows them to place and break blocks from further away. Minecraft:Kelp can be used to breed crabs. Crabs also occasionally wave at players and other crabs. <ref name="China" /><ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> Template:Yt

Armadillo

Template:Main The armadillo spawns in Minecraft:savannas. It can become startled and hide in its shell when the player confronts it; it can also drop scutes (not necessarily from dying), which will be used to craft armor for wolves, offering them better protection during combat.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref> Template:Yt

Penguin

Template:Main The penguin spawns on the Minecraft:stony shore biome. Penguins increase the speed of the player's Minecraft:boat. Penguins are amphibious, living both in the water and on land. Although clumsy when walking and might fall down occasionally, the penguins are excellent swimmers and can swim as fast as the Minecraft:dolphins. They gather in groups.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref><ref name="China" /> Template:Yt

Result

Near the end of the livestream, it was revealed that the armadillo won the vote. The percentage results were announced shortly after the end of the event on Minecraft's official Twitter account.<ref name="mobvote-results">Template:Tweet</ref>
