With a clear heart, the full-fledged voting for mobs in Minecraft 1.21 is now officially open. Players have been provided with all the necessary information about each mob, and now it’s time to make a decision. Let’s take a brief look at each mob and their unique features.
The final video released by the Minecraft team showcases the journey of the Tinies through the world of new mobs. It’s an adventure that introduces players to the potential additions to the game. The video is not very long, so sit back and enjoy watching it!
The first mob we encounter is the Crab. This unusual creature resides in the biome of mangrove swamps. Some players have questioned the realism of the crab, wondering why it is blue and why its claws are orange. In fact, the crab is based on a real-life species called the Fiddler crab. These crabs do have large claws, and they can drop them and regrow new ones. So, the Minecraft crab stays true to nature. The crab’s claw will have a special function in the game, allowing players to place blocks at a greater distance. Currently, players can place blocks up to 4.5 blocks away, but with the crab’s claw, this range may be extended to 5 blocks. The exact mechanics of how the claw will work are still unknown, but it is speculated that players will need to hold the claw in one hand while placing blocks with the other. Whether the crab will also be a source of food in the game remains to be seen.
Next up is the Armadillo, a friendly but timid mob that can be found in the Savannah biome. The Savannah biome is relatively empty compared to others, with only villages and villagers as its main features. The Armadillo adds a unique touch to this biome. When the Armadillo senses danger or the presence of a player, it will retreat into its shell, possibly taking on the appearance of a block, similar to obsidian. This functionality is yet to be confirmed, as it is difficult to judge from the 2D pixel video. The most important aspect of the Armadillo is its scute, which will eventually fall off its spine. Players will be able to collect these scutes and use them to craft special armor for their pet wolves. This approach encourages players to wait for the scute to naturally drop rather than killing the Armadillo to obtain it. The specifics of the armor, such as its protection level, durability, and enchantability, are still unknown. As for why the author of this article won’t be voting for the Armadillo, it’s simply because they don’t often travel with dogs in the game. However, the Armadillo is still a great mob and players are encouraged to vote for it if they wish.
Lastly, we have the Penguin, which is arguably the most adorable mob among the three. Contrary to popular imagination, the Penguin will not be found in a snowy biome with ice and snow. Instead, it will appear in the “Stony Shore” biome. This may come as a surprise to some, but penguins actually inhabit both cold and warm climates. The developers have accurately represented this fact in Minecraft. The Penguin’s appearance in the game is truly captivating.
Now that you have a better understanding of each mob, it’s time to cast your vote. You have 48 hours to decide between the Crab, the Armadillo, or the Penguin, starting from October 13 at 1pm EDT. The winner will be announced at Minecraft Live on October 15. Remember, the choice is yours. Listen to the opinions of others, but ultimately, be true to yourself and vote for what you personally like.
