The SAD History of Minecraft's Mob Votes...

So, which mob concept do you wish got added to the game? Be sure to leave a comment and subscribe! Join the discord - discord.gg/WGc9UNM

There is a Mod called "Outvoted" that attempts to add these forgotten mobs and their abilities :D

the phantom winning was entirely my fault, and I'll regret it for the rest of my life. they should fix it tho. Maybe re-tooling it to haunt 1.18's new caves, and only attacks when it hears you.

I love how phantoms won the vote but were regarded as so annoying that the devs later added an option to disable them.

I’m going to be honest: the mob votes are terrible ideas. I would much rather have mojang release one good mob without community input rather than have the community pick between three crappy concepts that are never executed properly

Phantoms winning over literally any of the other mobs is truly saddening

Imagine how cool vultures would have been if they were added as passive mobs that start to circle around you if you are dying of hunger. In the event that you die, they stay where you died and serve as a death marker so you can get your stuff back so long as it hasn't despawned.

I swear to God, when it comes to video game community votes, everybody caves in their frontal lobes and is by far the best argument against democracy

Would you choose: A) A wholesome variant of a cow mutation and a new possibly useful item to come with it, making an already beautiful biome all the more lively B) An ingame reincarnation of the russian bringer of cold and ice, Grandfather Frost, the Iceologer. Making you rethink your expedition in the icy mountains of the Overworld C) Flashy squid dReAm sAiD i ShOuLd vOtE fOr gLoWy SqUiDdy, i LiKe gLoWy SqUiDdy nOw. I vOtE fOr gLoWy SqUiDdy Flashy stupid squid wins.

I love how almost always, youtubers ended up influencing the votes for the worst. Literally almost no real threats in the ocean and is a very barren experience and yet vote for yet another night time mob in land which sounded quite dumb. A squid that just “glows” instead of literally anything else.

Scrapping the other mobs was a mistake, mojang should reconsider. The first vote was handled poorly anyway

I think a big issue with the mob votes is the lack of clarity for what each mob is going to do. The phantom, at the time, sounded pretty cool. I voted for the Chillager, but when the Glow-Squid got in I had hoped that it would bring in a glowing variant for every dyable block and item. Alas, that wasn't the case. The Glow-Squid also seemed like it would have some kind of weird hypnosis effect, but I guess that was just a joke for the video? The newest mob vote was pretty clear as far as each mob's function went, it wasn't a bad vote by any means (RIP copper boi though)

Instead of making the phantom a regular enemy, I think it should’ve been a boss with some more interesting attack.

"JUST TO LOSE TO A GLOWING SQUID" Best line I've heard from the franchise's vote drama

The fact that a lot of servers disable phantoms says a lot about them

With the glow squid, they should of added a new potion which makes you light up and glow by using its drop.

Considering how the Sniffer has history (plus functionality and new possible plants), and how the community wants it mostly for the lore. I'm starting to believe they're reconsidering adding the three mobs from 2017 Mob Vote. As someone who loves lores on video games (most of the time), it'll actually be interesting and makes meeting/defeating them in battle would have more value than just FARM. 🧐

imagine being a multi billion dollar company and you have to make your players vote on concept art cause making 4 mobs at once is so hard

a reminder that less than 100 votes put minecraft in the darkest timeline with the phantom

In my defense, I really thought glow squid would finally give us a mobile light source. They need to explain the mobs better before we vote because the idea we have for a mob will always be cooler than the one we get
