StupidWizard – Minecraft’s Mob Votes Suck (A Rant)

Why should you vote for the crab well because there isn’t a reason I baited you if you clicked on this video expecting some raging rant about why penguins and armadillo suck but then I misled you but I also took advantage of Mojang’s terrible way of handling expectations this is a small topic I

Want to go over before Minecraft live actually happen so no hourong Deep dive into the game’s history but instead I just want to go over a few things like why mob votes suck okay let’s keep this nice clean and simple mob votes have been a thing since 2017 with the first

One being very simple for very early concepts of mobs AB c d introducing new things that weren’t really in the game at that time or different ways to do things now right off the bat this mob vote is better than the ones that came ahead of it because of a few reasons one

These were very early Concepts no fancy Graphics no detailed descriptions on what they do just vague ideas of what they could do not even where they would spawn or anything not super specifically at least so when the community came together to vote it wasn’t really out of frustration or infighting of what should

Be added all mobs had a very equal chance of adding something cool so there weren’t really any campaigns for specific mobs just a fair and equal debate over what people wanted in the end mob B1 because people just really wanted a hostile mob in the SKU of the

Overworld after the vote ended it would take almost a full year before the mob was added into an update which you know what I’m going to say for the first mob vote is pretty reasonable they barely had concepts for these guys so a whole year of development makes a lot of sense

What do we get out of it Phantoms yeah okay in hindsight a lot of people really really dislike Phantoms in the game but but their Concepts were still good now we wouldn’t see another mob vote until 2020 it took them 3 years to try this again all that happened in between was a

Biome vote before it and a 2018 Chinese popularity contest but it didn’t actually affect Panda’s gang in so it it’s not being counted in 2020 we got a mob vote between the muo bloom flow squids and Ice oler God damn it this name actually sucks mu blooms

Would have spawned in flower fields and had some interactivity between flowers and bees isers would have spawned up in the mountains and attacked players with ice and glow squids would light up dark oceans mu Bloom immediately was kind of just cast aside by most people it was

Cute but like no one really cared about bees at the time I don’t think anyone really cares about bees nowadays and the fact that it was so vague on what it could do just didn’t leave a lot to people’s imaginations isers and glow squids however were just vague enough to

Get people’s imagination going but without completely spoiling what they could do I personally voted for the iser but I still respected the glow squids win a mob that can light up the dark parts of oceans maybe there’s a way we can put them on leads and take them down

For underwater exploration now in hindsight they kind of lie because the glow squid doesn’t actually light up surrounding blocks but like the idea was there but you can immediately see a difference between the two mob votes that we got so far 2017’s very vague ideas that allowed the community to

Equally vote on them since we all were clueless and then you’ve got 2020 where each mob has been mostly thought out their visual designs have been mostly thought out where they spawn has been mostly thought out and their names have been mostly thought out so it’s clear to

See that these ideas are a lot more fleshed out than the 2017 ones so logically it should take less time for these mobs to be introduced when they’re voted for how long did it take between the glow squid being voted for and actually being added to the game almost a year

Again okay Along Comes 2021 with a new mob vote between the Ali the glare and the copper golum again it’s a case of three fully thought Out Concepts they’ve gone even more in depth with them with specific use cases for the mobs where they spawn their final designs and yet

They’re still making players vote look I’m fully in the house of we have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes we don’t know how long it takes to work on stuff or the crunch time or how Microsoft handles it but I do think it’s a bit unfair that they have these fully

Fleshed Out Concepts between all three of these mobs and they’re still making people vote on only one I was a firm believer in the copper Golem having the ability to just push random buttons uh the glare just didn’t really entice me at all but I still would have liked all

Three I just I don’t get it look I’m so just glad that they’re keeping it to purely mystical creatures still I mean imagine in the future if they ever make the mob vote just between a bunch of PL ass regular animals I think it’s a little disappointing that none of these

Mobs are you know ones you can find in the end or the nether but come on we got next year next year comes around and it’s another mob vote between three mostly fleshed out idea do you see where the problem is each year they keep promising that oh the losing mobs will

Get in the game eventually but then before they even do anything for the losing mobs they announce another vote so now there’s just a slowly growing list of mobs that will eventually be added to the game that could easily be added anytime and modders kind of prove

That but I’m getting ahead of myself again 22 mob vote sniffer Rascal tough golum why the did the sniffer win look look tell me honestly look me in the eye honestly when you clicked on this video did you even remember that the sniffer was a thing I am 100% Going

To bet that most people kind of forgot about this mob vote in general I forgot about it like almost completely I remember glow wids move blooms isol glares copper golems all of them but just the sniffer Rascal tough gum debate what what was Mojang doing with this I

Don’t know why the overall Community decided the sniffer should win I still firmly believe it’s because people on Twitter advocate for it because it was cute and added more flowers and I think people really expected more functionality out of it but we didn’t we didn’t get that and now we’re on to 2023

Mob vote between the crab the armadillo and the penguin say it with me now it’s a mob vote between three mobs that are almost completely fully designed and fleshed out with their ideas and just forcing the Community to vote within fighting look I I really don’t care

Which of these three mobs win at this point like I don’t care if the crab or the armadillo or the penguin wins I just want to make this video to talk about the mob votes just kind of suck like a lot they force the community to have a

Bunch of infighting it forces a bunch of ideas to either go completely down the drain or so far and away in this timeline that we’re never going to see them for years and modders prove time and time again how easy it could be to add all these I have no way of knowing

What’s going on at moing maybe I’m wrong with this Theory but my personal thought is I think Microsoft is forcing them to do it like this I think Mojang could easily add all three mobs to the game if they wanted to but Microsoft is forcing them to to generate hype and publicity

For the game and for each update the AL was one of the biggest things from the Wild update that a lot of people remember the glow squid is one of the big things from caves and cliffs people remember but like does anyone remember the sniffer hell does anyone does anyone

Really feel like tales and trails feel like it was an impactful update at all like at all at all is it just me point is Minecraft needs to change I’ll maybe make a full full video about this someday uh I just want to Crunch this

Out but I want to make a video diving into the idea that Minecraft updates aren’t getting smaller a lot of people think that Minecraft updates are getting smaller or lazier but they aren’t I think it’s because the way the game is exponentially growing as it is that Mojang just isn’t making their updates

Bigger these updates aren’t smaller than ones we’ve gotten before hell some of them are a bit bigger than older updates but they don’t feel bigger Mojang really really needs to stop with the mob votes and the hype train because they’re going to keep getting more and more forgettable and more and more

Frustrating to watch good ideas go to waste all for the sake of temporary hype thank you for listening to this Ted Talk see you in the next upload probably
