The Story of Minecraft’s Abandoned Mobs

This is a minecraft monkey this is the illusion and this is a redstone bug minecraft is known for its unique mobs but some never made it in game that’s why in this video we’ll discover the forgotten mobs that could have completely changed minecraft as we know

It before we begin if you’re new here subscribe let’s begin in 2017 during the minecon earth live stream viewers were given the choice to vote for a brand new mob to be added in game there were sketches of four different mobs shown to the viewers and one of these was called

The barnacle the barnacle was option a of the mobvo so what was it in the deep depths of the ocean biome the barnacle or monster of the ocean was believed to be a big brother to the average squid capable of propelling itself through water and grabbing players down from

Boats with his tentacles drowning them at the bottom of the ocean for some that would be right up their alley but i’m not much of a tentacle guy either way the barnacle didn’t make it very far despite jeb asking viewers to vote for it with it being voted out in only the

First round but the barnacle wasn’t the only mob on that though another option for players to choose from was wildfire a type of blaze that had four rectangular shields that would constantly spin around it making it more defensive higher in health and harder to kill compared to the already annoying

Blaze i actually gave it a go for myself okay so this should be pretty easy yeah i’m not touching nothing wildfire had the ability to send fiery shockwaves around a certain area and clearly these weren’t a mob that you wanted to mess with unlike the barnacle wildfire passed

The first round of voting but was quickly voted out in the second round leading to it not being implemented in game so who won the 2017 minecon mobvo we’ll get back to that later because this is beast boy and this is rana and these are different variations of steve

Who were added to minecraft java edition version 0.31 for strictly testing purposes and never seen again afterwards you’ve probably seen them in other videos before but let me explain a little bit about them beast boy is of course based on the character from teen titans with green skin and purple

Clothing well ron on the other hand is more interesting with her name meaning frog in latin spanish and italian holding similar resemblance to another video game character who was apparently cursed by a frog wizard rana is also the first human mob to have human pain sounds when taking damage here take a listen

Did you hear that properly despite being female the pain sound is male to add to this she also had no animation when walking around and would occasionally drop apples and roses after being killed but here is where the real mystery begins these characters were made by a

Guy nicknamed dark a former employee at mojang who mysteriously got up and left the company but who also worked on concept art including this minecraft logo that was left unused but this next mob is probably the most mysterious mob out of all the ones i’ve mentioned so

Far in the chinese version of minecraft and yes there is a chinese version of minecraft a mob vote was held giving players a choice between a panda a golden monkey based off the golden snub-nosed monkey a pink dolphin a deer and a crocodile sadly the panda was

Voted in and minecraft missed its golden opportunity to have a monkey let me know in the comments which one you would have voted for although discussions of this mob are rare many people believe it would have had the ability to literally poop out gold and that the monkey motor

We were shown and that is on screen right now wasn’t even the final in-game result but these weren’t the only hidden mobs from china’s version of minecraft what i’m about to show you are images of mobs that you have definitely never seen before the first one is the one-eyed

Giant or cyclops who is known for charging our players and occasionally dropping the cyclops horn giving you his ability to charge attack another mob in the chinese minecraft version is the chaos mob which i actually do have gameplay of now the footage isn’t amazing but similar to how the wither is

A boss fight the chaos is two with its main ability making it capable of shooting fireballs that actually look like magma blocks this was also an ability you could gain after defeating it unfortunately these moms didn’t make it into the game we play on today but

That wasn’t the only mob that was left unseen this is the illusioner minecraft’s hidden mob with a blue appearance equipped with a bow being able to shoot anywhere from 12 to 24 blocks away not to mention the illusion i can also duplicate himself whilst being invisible for up to 60 seconds but

I had to learn this the hard way wait what the illusion was added to minecraft java edition on the version 1.12 as a member of the village and pillage update with for unknown reasons never officially being added to minecraft it’s never even had a spawn egg meaning there’s no way to naturally

Spawn this mob leaving the illusioner alive but only in the commands now while most of the mobs i’ve mentioned were hidden or never released the diamond chicken was actually meant to be seen by players it made its first appearance in minecraft’s 2013 april fools update and

Were known to lay valuable items such as diamonds and lapis uzuli the myth behind this interesting mob is that the diamond chicken doesn’t actually produce these items but is unable to digest them and just poops them out meaning the diamond chicken is a cave mob for unknown

Reasons when the chicken is annoyed it explodes similar to the way a creeper does and as creative as the diamond chicken really was it was later removed after april fools ended but back to a mob that never touched the real game meerkats were a passive mob rumored to

Run and hide when scared along with being able to stand straight on their back legs this cute mob was announced during the minecon earth 2018 live stream where players could also vote to update a bio with one of those biomes being the savannah revealing not just our first look at meerkats but also

These really weird looking ostriches were also presented on stream with the ability of sticking their heads into the ground to cool off and having ridiculous amounts of speed and jump height when wild and tamed oh my god this thing is fast slow down slow down slow down they

Fed on potatoes and carrots and would drop an ostrich egg every 5 to 10 minutes but unfortunately the tiger biome was voted in leaving the meerkats and ostriches out of the game but back to the mob vote of 2017 the second most popular option on that poll was a mob

Called the great hunger now this one didn’t look anything like the other three options and it was actually quite unique it had the ability to completely sink into the ground and camouflage itself it could eat other mobs and items because of its massive mouth and it could even add or remove enchantment

Powers it likely would have had low health and attack strength points but that wouldn’t have mattered its main ability of enchantment removal was already amazing eventually the grindstone block was later added as a substitute which had some of the same functionalities as the great hunger however sadly it lost in the third round

Of voting and instead the super annoying phantom was added to the game you better not ow okay stop ah that one was right in the balls this next mob you probably know it because most of us didn’t really want it the glare being attainable mob that looked like a pine cone with googly

Eyes i mean look at this thing however despite its funny design the glare was able to be found spawning in cave systems and lived in pure darkness with its main ability being to alert players when it was dark enough for monsters to spawn and every time they would have an

Opening to daylight they would try to get out most players didn’t really get the mob and it was quickly voted out in the first round of the poll it would have been interesting to see had this mob actually been implemented in game but i don’t think we’re gonna see

Anytime soon what do you think now let’s go further back in time to java version 2.0 where redstone bugs were added to annoy players and made getting redstone that bit trickier they were a hostile mob with 16 health points which is eight hearts more than the regular silverfish

Making them rather difficult to beat they worked almost the exact same way as silverfish and they even looked the same with the exception being their color they mainly spawned right next to redstone whenever you would mine them or around redstone equipment and having a bunch of these on your back was

Generally not fun but luckily the redstone bug was only a small april fools joke and was removed in the following update another minecraft april fools update from 2015 this time featured a love golem in this version love golem spawned instead of iron golems with the law behind them being

That they were a manifestation of the villager’s love but as cute as this sounds they didn’t exactly act as iron golems they were passive which made it really funny to see them just walk around in game they never attacked monsters were mostly pretty useless which actually explains why they were so

Quickly removed in the following update as they were part of yet another april fool’s joke thank you for watching this video if you haven’t already check out my previous video where i tell the story of the white enderman
