As I state in the video that some of you missed somehow, if it is true that the mobs are not permanently removed as some claim, then the issue with the mob vote is clarification. I said this in the video but some of you missed it so here it is again!!

The thing about these mob votes is that once someone with a huge following says who they want to win, you can throw all actual opinions out the window. Remember the glow squid incident?

As a copper golem fan, I am still suffering the tragic loss of a use for copper

I think that the mob vote should add all 3 mobs, but the winner gets added this year, and the losers get added next year.

Honestly I think the main issue is clarifying what he mobs will really do. Like for example sniffer was seen as giving you some new flower options. Sure, nobody was expecting double the amount of existing flowers to be added, but just 2 mediocre flowers using a mob found in like three places that takes forever to do its thing? Really not worth it. Same for glow squid, they kinda gave the impression it would be able to hypnotize mobs and/or players, or at least do something similar, but its literally just the glow ink sac. It's much better this year, though, since they finally clearly said what each mob does without anything to give you another idea.

My other issue with the mob vote is that we don’t get enough information about said mob, and if the community overhypes a specific one for (e.g.) a feature that doesn’t get added **glowsquidincidentintensifies** then there’s no second chance.

To be honest, I always thought the mob votes were bad and that they just sparked argument and controversy

The mob votes really aren’t for the mobs, they’re a hype machine

I think a major problem with the votes is that they are designed as a tool for engagement. The features are secondary which is why the mobs always kind of feel like side content for the sake of itself. We even know that some of the mobs added to the vote are scrapped content from previous updates, like the allay being planned and scrapped from the nether update. They’re basically just small bonuses. I do really wish mojang would just add one of the losers soon though to show that they can, since they have said that they are open to it, and people still seem to widely think the mobs are gone forever. I think part of the problem is that they are still so behind on the biome votes, so adding stuff they have no obligation to before that would be kind of weird even if it was something small

Yeah, I absolutely prefer your idea for the vote just determining what order the mobs get added. Especially in a year like this one, where I would genuinely love to see all three mobs get added. The current mob votes just seem to make the Minecraft community tear each other apart over people not wanting to vote for the same mob they do.

I just hope that already-existing Mobs are able to be updated… specifically bats. Mojang wants to focus on environmentally significant animals? Bats make up an entire FOURTH of mammals on Earth and are chock-full of unique powers. I don’t think Mojang is lazy, I just think that Minecraft’s broad appeal means they have to consider what EVERY SINGLE PLACE would think of even the tiniest of additions. I mean, these updates are free. But at the same time, these three are all actual animals that are exceedingly popular- and they’ve already spent resources on their trailers!

Your proposal of the Sniffer being able to find a new plant with a dye that brings back a removed indev wool colour sounds a lot like my idea of the Sniffer being able to dig up the classic Red and Cyan Roses. I also use the Allay to help with picking up crops like Sugar Cane or Wheat that I missed in big farms.

1.22 should be the desert update. They could add the stuff from minecon live, and also add crabs and *THE GREAT HUNGER*

Thats literally what i have always thought about the mob vote and what i see a lot of people say Not one minds having a big event to choose a mob Everyone is upset because the other good ideas are just deleted from reality, plus it would make underwhelming mobs from votes be less disappointing because i feel part the disappointment is "wow we lost out on X for this?" Not just the mob not being to interesting

Imagine if the losing mobs are just added when their biomes are updated instead of being gone forever. Like snowy biomes with penguins, beaches with crabs and savannahs with armadillos. Since the armadillo has won, that becomes the mob that is included in the next update and we wait longer for the crab and penguin.

I think one of the worst parts this year is that there are two mobs that are insanely requested and would fit perfectly into the game, and one mob that isn't as insanely requested and would still fit pretty well into the game. This statement applies to every mob vote.

Suggestion: Instead of voting for which of 3 mobs are added. Vote for HOW 1 mob will be added. Mojang say that the mobs they present in the videos are only ideas at this stage, they come up with a "use" and will only decide fully how to implement it, if it wins. So scrap that, pick 1 really cool mob like a Penguin for example, and let the vote be for what the Penguin does. (E.g. Option (a) It speeds your boat up. Option (b) It picks up items dropped in the water and fetches them back to you. Option (c) Improves your traction on ice, while maintaining speed benefits)

There should be a mob vote of all the fan favorite lost mobs

The random various memes Odyssey adds ALWAYS gets a chuckle outta me. Literally one of the reasons why i love this youtuber

I definitely like this idea way more. Having the mob vote choose the order of what gets added instead of deleting interesting ideas is a much better system. I do hope some of the ideas from past mob votes return because, especially the three that lost in the first vote, were really interesting.

You going over the previous mob votes really made me realize just how long it’s been since I last played Minecraft. I haven’t played it since before the Allay won that mob vote.

I gotta say this mob vote has been the most controverial. Yet.

I might be late to the party but I love that at 0:57 the puppet is there

Recycling mob vote mobs feels like a no brainer. Why why WHY would Mojang go through the trouble of designing three new mobs _every year_ when they have so many unused mob ideas already... mob ideas that fans REALLY want to see again! Honestly bringing back the old mobs would be better publicity then making new ones, especially if they tacked on a small extra feature to improve them for the rerun!

i think it would be nice for the other mobs to eventually get added into minecraft. the mob voted being the first to get in, the other two coming in a year later

I've always prefered the biome vote. I like the idea of expanding upon preexisting content rather than trying tack on a single new mob, atleast that's what some of the mob votes have felt like. It feels more impactful to the game and of course the losers aren't doomed to be on a wiki page of stuff that will never be added to the game. It still stirs up discussion and community interaction, too. Honestly if they just made the changes you talked about it'd be so much better.

3:29 you know, I wonder what it would’ve been like if Steve was in Smash 4

As a casual player allays are pretty useful when I’m harvesting stuff. Like when I’m getting wood I set them to collect saplings or when farming they pick up the stuff I miss. It’s kinda niche but it’s helpful in situations where things can get lost

I'll never forgive the devs, nor the community for rejecting my BELOVED AND PERFECT Copper Golem.

The crab lost Rip crab 🦀 🙏 Hope it gets added at some point in the future.

The fact that a primarily Nintendo-focused youtuber can sum up all the main problems of the mob vote and how to fix it in about 10 minutes really says something

I straight up don’t understand what thought process led to mojang coming up with the phantom in the first place, and then people actually voting it in, an extremely unfortunate combination of baffling game design and voters just not even reading the description of what they’re voting for,

My biggest problem with mojang updates is the difference between them and the terraria devs. The terraria devs add so much content every update, while mojang doesnt

I personally think we should get a special snapshot with all 3, so we can see all of the features of each one. Lack of information on each mob is the biggest problem with the vote.

6:38 Mario odyssey night theme while talking about a night mob? Nice.

You should do a ranking on all the Minecraft Mob vote Mobs. Like which one's would/is the worst to the ones that sounds/is the best.

They should do a mob update where they add every single mob we lost and only make few changes to the game or even just one good one to keep us entertained Ex: this update we got all those mobs and the crafting table thing

My main issue isn’t that they’re gone forever, but it’s the fact it’s been 5 years and no meerkats or ostrich

8:11 As a shadow fan i can confirm that my parole officer told me to say that i never killed anyone, and that if i did, hypothetically, i honestly regret it and will probably never do it again

As someone who isn't too invested in Minecraft but watches your videos of it anyway, I would love to see a "Cut Mobs of Minecraft" video!

I think the track record for the winners should change, but we're gonna have to depend on the community for that one.

Make a spite battle for every single Mario wonder enemy when it comes out

The Shadow vs Skull Kid example was probably the best way I've ever heard this explained (and probably ever will)

5:05 i agree with odyssey, i think the sniffer exclusive dye types should be maroon, beige, and all of the removed colors from minecraft classic

I think that they should add the top 2 votes and the third is delayed so that everyone is happy and so it’s a tiny bit easier for developers if they were to do this

Moby które odpadły nie są stracone na zawsze bo w mob vote nie głosujemy na moba który się pojawi w grze tylko na moba który się pojawi wcześniej od innych. Trzeba też pamiętać że mob vote to tylko "dodatek" do całej aktualizacji a nie główna żecz.❤

hey if you want a video idea, rank all the minecraft structures, including fossils, the desert wells, and anything that minecrafts /locate command considers a structure

I got an advert when you said the phantom was the first winner, and I’ve never been happier for an advert

I think a boss vote would be cool (although it would get people even more mad.)

This is the ONE mob vote rant I actually agree with! Its fun to talk about, we just eventually need all the options!

I can go on and on about my problems with it but long story short the way I’d fix it would be make it a priority thing. Make it the winner gets in first and the others get in later

Dude Mojang literally told us they would bring them back if it fit the theme they were going for 💀💀💀

In my opinion, your proposed solution would be good for a time, but eventually, I think it would lead to a huge backlog of mobs because Mojang adds new ones to the game so slowly. One idea I had would be for them not to reveal the mobs in the mob vote but have a contest to determine what TYPE of mob to add to the game. For example, Hostile Mob vs. Passive Mob vs. Redstone Mob, or something like that. That way, no one would be that upset if their choice lost because they'd know more mobs of that variety will make it into the game at some point. Other examples would be Land Mob vs. Aquatic Mob, End Mob Vs. Nether Mob, Mesa Mob vs. Taiga Mob, etc. It would probably be less high stakes, but I think it's an option worth considering for some years.

It was the first mob vote, which added the phantom, where the other losers were disqualified forever. The massive outrage from that is what made them change and say the other losers will be added to the "idea pool". The devs have stated this on twitter several times, but i see so many people say they're deleted forever, when they literally added frogs and mangrove, the second place finisher, 2 updates ago. So yes, in your pinned comment, they do need to make this more clear.

I remember them talking about that, though. They said the frog lost a vote before, but still got added.

Next year should be a vote between the most voted mobs

I think they just need to do something to remind people that no, not all of these mobs are gone forever. though I feel like they already proved that with frogs people disagree because it’s just the biome vote. and I think they should do a vote with past candidates so that the backlog doesn’t keep growing too fast

8:58 laugh at this crab hater

Omffggggg i love to watch you a year back but kinda fell back on nintendo games and stoppen watching you and now you make vids on my favorite game omgggg

Tbf other than the 2017 and 2023 mobs (they should’ve added all of them), the only mobs I wish they still added were the Iceologer and the Copper Golem. They were already doing a mountain update from the previous year so why didn’t they just straight up add the Iceologer to fit with the theme? And also considering how useless copper is no offense, the Copper Golem would’ve been a great way to add more usage to copper even if you don’t ever plan to make them.

Idea: Next year could be the TMMU The mega mob update All the jobs that lost get added back in one mega update Not only will it bring more people but make everyone happy Next next update will add all the biomes that have yet to be added Then after that they hold a biome vote in which the winner gets added next, second after, and third gets added last Each of the biomes has one or more mobs to go with it Rinse and repeat

Thank you for acknowledging the fact that we still get free updates 14 years later, it feels like some people don't appreciate that.

Will you do a ranking of all 96 tracks in mario kart 8 deluxe when wave 6 comes out?

Can i ask? Whats that odd struckure on 8:30 it looks like shipwreck in some kind of room

I think a good way to improve the vote is to make all of the mobs equally good so there is an actual point to voting

#JusticeForTheMoobloom

i feel like making a video of ranking advancements could be a good idea

My main issue is the mob vote isn't voting for your favorite mob. It's voting for which two mobs and mechanics will NEVER be added to Minecraft The Phantom meant putting Nether, forest, taiga and ocean updates on the backburner. Panda winning meant no lowering the priority of neutral or ambient mobs. Glow squid meant less resources to an Illager or Mushroom Island update. Allay meant less redstone, copper, golem and cave updates. Sniffer meant dropping the priority of mining and item display/decor updates. Now it's more specific on which two features we'll never see again. Armadillo losing means no wolf armor. Penguin losing means no transportation/ice biome updates. Crab losing means no building updates. This year it's basically which one of these core features, building, biomes, companions or transport, will Mojang ignore for the forseeable future? Every year the mob vote seems more like which features of minecraft will we put on the backburner, making Mojang look incredibly lazy as they're essentially cutting their lines of development to 1/3 of what they could be. Game development, especially when attached to a massive company is already hard enough without stifling the potential development of a game to 33.3% of what it could be.

As i have said. We need to get two mobs by splitting the vote into 50/50. Sure we wouldnt get all three but two out of three is good enough

What if, hear me out, they just add all 3?

I think the phantom is more useful than the rest besides the armadillo because the slow falling potion is incredibly useful in the dragon fight, especially in hardcore.

I think Mojang forgot about the biome votes. I love the idea of having palm trees, but Mojang doesn’t. As loud as we request to have these mobs in the game, Mojang doesn’t hear us. What will it take to get the attention of Minecraft? (Oh wait I accidentally activated my Spanish keyboard one sec…) It’s better to just try to vote on the loosing mobs anyways with it’s own mob vote.

Even as a non minecraft player it seems infuriating that they give you these cool features and then you just get something like a flea because someone tells everyone to vote for it.

Agree the mob vote should stop and all 3 mobs should be added even if its taken longer

while you said great point i really think they should continue to expand on the mobs that were voted in making them more useful will reduce the amount of people saying Mojang is lazy when the mobs are fairly simplistic because they will know they can get updates and in addition they should think of other mobs they are adding to the game so here are my opinions on each of them and how it would be best to add stuff to them: Phantom, add another reason to use the phantom membranes idea 1: a completely new craft like a parachute that slow your falls and negate fall damage, that would really help in the nether or end or if you don't want a water bucket in your inventory all the time. a 2nd idea is to make a new form of structure that will ward off phantoms in the range of a beacon that is powered by or made from phantom membranes. glow squid: ok my idea for this is a cool one, give us a new arrow or the ability to tip tridents with an effect that inflicts blindness on mobs this blindness can not only make other mobs rely on the sound mechanics like the warden but it would also be a Guardian's biggest curse completely nullifying their laser attack, squids are already known to spray ink all over the face of predator's to confuse + blind them and get away, so this new arrow or trident tipping, should be crafted using ink and glow ink sacks. (the squid's revenge on the guardians shall start!) Alley: not really needs an addition, it already has it's limits reached. Sniffer: i agree more flowers and maybe an extra dye or two gotten only from him. Armadillo: ya i don't think this mob should really exist, because of the turtle... who already can produce Scutes and i would take an extra reason to raise a turtle more then a completely new mob, but because it did win i guess just make it drop normal Scutes and make normal Scutes able to craft dog armor (and thus make turtles better for the eggs and Armadillos for the Scutes)

they should hold two mob votes each year the second being a vote between alll of the old mobs

I’m sorry but ignoring “the incident”, the Glow Squid thing was one of the worst votes. Like this multi million company really had us arguing over 2 retextures vs a fully realized, unique mob that fit the update theme perfectly. At least the other years I could see why they might need us to choose.

One name. Dream

With all due respect, the main use of sniffers is that theyre silly little guys. Very whimsical. Pet.

Ok I haven’t watched the whole video, but in my opinion, removing the mob vote is a shit idea. 1. It probably means we’d get less mobs every day. One of the big reason they do the mob vote is to bring attention to mc live. No mob vote, no point to bring more mobs in. 2. Less variety. Say if we get a desert update, we’d mainly get desert themed mobs. No sniffer in a savannah update. No allay in a nether update. Etc. 3. They said they would bring the mobs back if it fit the theme. They’re not “locked in a vault” like everyone says. In my opinion, it’d be cool in the short term, but would be worse in the long term.

Mojang condones communism and I’m here for it

Team armadillo 👇

The crab lost, Rest In Peace, Mr Krabs

Question: as you’re a big Minecraft fan, what are your opinions on other similar games like Terraria? Idk I’ve always been curious about it

the sniffer transition was goated

6:22 “And our finally mob vote winner was the Phan-“ *Gets ad* Bro hates the phantom so much, I got an ad right before he could finish saying Phantom

The REAL problem is that the mobs are shallow & have a single, niche use-case that doesn't make them feel relevant 99% of the time or a part of the game's world. Also, the fact that they don't elaborate on small details ISN'T helping.

Cool vid but 1 thing you've gotten wrong, the only mobs that have been perm deleted are the ones from the first mob vote, every other mob goes on a shelf and is waiting for it's time to shine ( confirmed by Mojang )

I've yet to see a mob vote that contains any mobs worth adding.

I use my allay to help collect from my sugar cane farm, since it gets everywhere after breaking it and I don't have a hopper setup

I had an idea yesterday to always have the second place from the last mov vote as a 4th option,so if we all cared more about that vote than the current one we can yoink it

Can i say that literally the only reason anyone voted for the glowsquid was because we were told it would GLOW and luminate dark, underground water, a mechanic that would have been really useful but it doesn't do that.

Video idea: Ranking every artifact in Minecraft Dungeons

Glow squid is probably the most useless because before the glow squid you could make any sign any color and glow for free, youd need to use this symbol § followed by a number or a letter, for example 2 = green or b = light blue (and you can still do this and not waste any dye) the chillager is still amazing and i will never not be salty that a stupid reskin won (they couldve at least given us a cool looking jellyfish instead of a stupid squid)

The hungrybox crab clip in the beginning LOL

I just want the hovering inferno 😢

I like the mob vote I just think clarification (like you said) and I wish some mobs would come back for other updates

I've been saying this about the mob votes for years, and when that Yellow Flower Mooshroom got nixed, I stated talking about this solution much more frequently.

5:31 I use these guys for the kelp and sugar cane that I always leave on the ocean, that way they get collect them for me

being a golem fan I don't think my heart could've taken a golem being an option this year
