ibxtoycat – Minecraft 1.21 – Vote for the Crab & Crab Claw!

Tiny Vu has found a crab one of the new Mobs that wants to join Minecraft hello I’m up yeah extra cat and our first mob for the 2023 vote was just revealed and it is a Iden by itself but it does come with a brand new item BSA because scrap claws

Allow players to place blocks further away okay this is actually quite huge will every Cute Mob actually have an item this year will 2023 be the item vote and what does that really mean let’s go into all of the leaks and info about this and the crab in today’s video

Right after we play the full trailer which just dropped look there’s something on that beach over there could it be a new mob maybe it can help us get un lost we are not lost we’re following my super secret shortcuts Let’s see who who gets to live first oh tiny Vu has found a crab one of the new Mobs that wants to join Minecraft it lives in mangrove swamps like this one the crabs Claw is very handy for players that like building Yes because prep claws allow players to place blocks further away this is cool awesome to Minecraft live do you want the crab to become Minecraft’s new mall voting opens on October 13th at 1pm Eastern Daylight time and you’ll have 48 hours to cast your vote it’s too early to say

For sure but I think Mojang is doing a much better job of announcing mobs this year because it seems as though we actually know a decent amount about the crap so we can vote on what it actually is so what do we know about the crap from the trailer first things first it

Spawns in the mangrove swamp this is a great update to a two-year-old bio I think this would be a nice way to change that and also when you’re in the mangrove swamp you’ll be able to find multiple of these guys not just in the water as they probably expected because

Of the boat but instead on the land as well it seems like they are clearly not by default hostile and also they are going to give you the Crab Claw maybe when you kill it or maybe through some other means like the goat horn perhaps

But there is going to be a brand new item that will allow players to place blocks further away and so now we can actually see what the crab’s value is to Minecraft it is a Cute Mob that maybe does some interesting things by itself but most crucially gives players a claw

This is the real reason to vote for the mob and I’m glad they clarify exactly what it does already because now we don’t have to vote on the idea of what it mystically could do but instead we know it’ll allow players to place blocks from further away is this good enough to

Vote for is an interesting question because I asked Harrison a little bit about this and he seemed to think that he didn’t really ever need to place blocks further away but my instinctive thought is yes that actually sounds really cool my immediate thinking is the key detail that would determine whether

This is a great item or just an interesting one like the Spyglass or something is whether or not you can use it in an offhand or kind of passively as like a piece of armor versus actively holding it all the time and it having to

Take up one of your nine slots to show what I mean though as to how valuable this could be let’s jump into a world so further away block reach doesn’t seem like an important thing when you’re on the ground and you’re just placing blocks because what does it matter if I

Can place a block here versus being able to place a block back there you might think that it makes basically no difference to your day-to-day life but if you ever worked on a very big build before you’ll know exactly the pain of when you’re working on something that’s

Real big and real tall let’s say you want to have a ceiling that’s like this and you realize that you can only place blocks from so far below it because on Java that is about five blocks on Bedrock it’s about six which is really nice being able to place your c-link

From this far but what if you are placing it slightly lower down having to stack up and use some scaffolding would be quite annoying you can see right here I have to literally jump and any further I would physically not be able to make it now imagine that you’re on a single

One of these columns yourself working on something else and you just desperately want to place a block around that corner and you find it so so so so hard imagine if this was done so much easier I think that’d be great but also it would mean that you could make bigger builds before

You have to worry about block reach personally I think that’s a big Improvement and uh but I do admit that this is something a lot of people have strong opinions for or against what do you think do you want more block reach or do you not because personally I would

Like it but like I said it would depend on the specifics however this specifics are the interesting part of this year’s mock boat by the way um I I can tell you I would like extra block reach even though just before uh you know this announcement came out I

Was working on a challenge where I get one item in Minecraft every day so I’m gonna be doing precisely no building for the entire playthrough but despite being so you know doing so many Minecraft playthroughs of no building the few times I do have to do it so much like my

Let’s play I really value good building tools like the place in front of you like the extra block reach and I think these are the sorts of things that Mojang has to work on however if there are parity issues this does raise a question by the way look at this I I can

Place blocks over there if I really want to but not for blocks down there I want to place a block so bad down like this but I cannot do it with the current block Rage which means I have to jump down and hurt myself and who wants to

Hurt themselves not me that’s for sure before we talk about the crap any further I think it’s important to talk about the leaks around this year’s Minecraft life as you might know last year’s Minecraft live mobs were leaked and so this year a lot of people have been making their own predictions or

Saying their own leaks and this one for from funny Edward was actually correct they found the free videos from the Minecraft live playlist and one of them is the crap one of them is the jellyfish and one of them is the seagull I’ve said before that the test for Alika is see if

They announce something and then wait for it to come out and if they have a few true track records then you know they’re right and so in this case they said the crab would be coming out before the crab did however despite that I think that one uh this is an account

That likes to post a lot of fun goofing off things uh and two uh you know for example they’ve got this uh saying that they think the next mob him will be a capybara and two they literally had to be directly responded to by Corner hard a Minecraft developer saying that they

Do not work at Mojang and so yeah although this crap thing was correct and so maybe they do have access to that playlist they found the titles for the videos that are currently private uh I would say that for now just have some hesitation but tomorrow there is a real

Chance of the mob vote being announced for a jellyfish or a seagull which is very curious and if it is one of those two things you can almost be certain the third date is the other which then makes you think which item would a seagull

Have to be worth voting for what would a jellyfish do to make it almost as good as a crab I would enjoy speculating about these things endlessly to be honest with you but something I need to say no matter what is good job to Mojang for Clear communication on at least one

Mob this year I think every single one of the mobs last year and arguably even the few years before that have had this same issue of them leaving a lot up to interpretation which they do on purpose so they have more design space when they’re designing the mob however I

Think that having as much of this being upfront as possible makes the mobvo actually a vote on the mob rather than just them trying to get the community’s permission to make a mob with a name and vague look this is a much better system and if the seagull or whatever the other

Two mobs designs are clearly laid out to the public I think we are going to have an actually interesting mob though despite all of the mobs being cute animals and that is something that is positively exciting I also think that if they’re going to be uh you know

Announcing an item for this they need to make sure the next two mobs have something that is either an item directly that it would drop or something equivalent to it and so is an item Vote or is a real feature vote better than a mob vote I think yes these mobs are not

Just random cute additions to your world although they do that too but instead these mobs are cute conduits for deeper gameplay changes in the same way that the Frog was just a cute little guy that you see jumping around and dancing all the time in reality it’s the source of

Frog light and so the same is true for the close squid it seems as though it’s just a mob that makes the oceans prettier but it’s the source of glow ink which can be used in a real way for building purposes I think that is the

Way to square off this big every year we get a mob and it’s kind of pointless debate uh have the mobs all be equally good and none of them are going to harm your game if they don’t get in but give them some all real uses and so there is

One thing that is left to say after all of that and that is that I like the crap so far a lot of people clearly agree based on my Twitter poll but I am looking forward to seeing the next two choices and make sure that after

Watching this video when you do go to Minecraft live and the few days before when you vote for a mob don’t base it just based on the cuteness of the mob base it on what it will actually add to Minecraft and more importantly whatever happens don’t vote blue no matter who

Anyway I hope you’ll enjoy this video I’m gonna get back to trying to beat Minecraft with one item every day and I hope that I’ll see you tomorrow for the next mob reveal and indeed for a live stream then too so thank you for watching and I’ll see you then goodbye foreign
