The Mob Votes Are Killing Minecraft, Here's How

I agree. Doing these mob votes is a sure fire way to disappoint roughly 66% of the community. It sows division, allows for large amounts of toxicity, and just overall pulls the community apart

with how much stuff has been "considered for a future update" it feels like we could have a whole one, two, or even three updates just adding all the broken promises from over the years

I'm still salty about chillager not getting into the game just because "it's not a completely new mob" and "dream said vote glow squid" and i'm still mad that we're probably never gonna see a hostile mob native to the mountains because of that

I don't know why they go through the trouble of designing, modeling, and programming 3 different unique jobs that would all make great additions to the game only to throw 2 out

This dude just woke up and decided to be a comedic genius and just...a genius. Absolute banger video.

I didn't even vote on the last mob vote anymore. It was way too unclear what the mobs even did and what they were good for. They all sounded like you'd interact with them 2-3 times and then forget they existed. I refuse to vote with low information, because this gave us the phantom.

They really should just do 2 things imo A: As you stated, make the mob vote decide the ORDER that the mobs are added rather than what to add B: Make the mob votes more than just mobs, let us vote on more wacky things like what the next big update is about, such as that experimental combat update.

It always amazes me that either one person or a small group of people can create a mod that adds all or most mobs from votes within a day or two, meanwhile mojang only adds one and it takes like 6 months. I don't see a reason they can't just add all at once, or at least include them in a future update.

I have never seen a video that I relate to so much. Mojang needs to listen to the community more and I feel like that’s another problem. If they listened to our opinions, Minecraft would be a much better game than it is now. Not saying it is not an amazing game already, I just feel that they could make it even better if they just listened.

The lesson of the story is, Democracy sucks, go anarchy, just hold a massive brawl in a Minecraft server and let them PVP for their respective sides, whoever wins gets their mob added, and whoever loses? Skill issue, I'm sure this won't be a terrible idea at all... Totally sure...

Throwing lost mobs is really a bad idea. If the mobs are similarly good, then it will just make most people sad; if one mob is overwhelmingly better than others (just like sniffer for this time), the vote itself is meanless

I always thought that if Mojang has a good idea for a mob that will objectively make the game better, then they should just add it into the game and bypass the mob vote altogether. They are the creators of the game, they decide its fate.

copper golem wouldve been game changing for redstone, it wouldve also added more functionality to copper, other than it being a metal that turns blue-green after a while.

I think they should have a loser bracket. Every other year they bring back the ones that lost and you can vote on which two gets added so the list doesn't get too long. This also opens up the opportunity for team lineups. So you could do something like the creepy watchers (glare/rascal) vers golemancy (tuff/copper) and whatever team wins those two get added. This will give them an additional year to fully fleshed-out the next mobs they want to add and will have a lot lower of a chance to make a majority of the community feel left out.

"I want them to sell me a masterpiece of a game, not a promise." THIS

I am still angry that the sniffer won the mob vote, like overwhelmingly angry. All he offered was digging up flowers, that’s it. The rascal added a fun mechanic that rewarded you for playing with it. A pretty good reward too, it allowed you to stay underground for so much longer and could save you from all of your pickaxes breaking.

idk how your video ended up in my feed but i didn’t realize you were a really small channel until after the video was over. the editing and style of video made me think it was some random 100k sub channel getting pushed in my feed. genuinley great work

"1.14, village and pillage. it added JOBS! RAIDS! and SLA-"

I have a idea : in the mob and biome votes mojang will make a special Snapshot when theres every mob or biome and the players will test it and after vote and in the real update mojang will add only the mob or biome that has the most votes and the others are still playable in the special Snapshot .

This echoes exactly what I’ve been thinking the whole time. The mob votes are great for the ideas they bring, but it’s a crime to see most of it thrown away with no promise we’ll ever see it again. Just like with the updates practically… am I right?
