Who are you voting for?

Original Post by AuradioHiro on Minecraft subreddit.

And I am voting for crab.

considering that the game is now owned by microsoft these votes just end up feeling kind of like a slap to the face, it's like holding a thousand dollars in your hands and asking whether someone wants a piece of gum or a bouncy ball.
- They could've added all three options 10 times over and more with the effort required for holding the vote.
  
  also: reminder that minecraft still doesn't have any sort of LOD, while at least 2 separate teams have managed to implement it just fine as mods.
  This is a basic graphics feature that has been standard in games for ages now.
- I feel like fan vote should be order release, not choose one - kill two. Especially since this year is all just normal animals that fit would fit in the world.
  
  Exactly, they act as if implementing 3 mobs is some gargantuan task when a significant chunk of the work is already done by designing them.. And then they just go ahead and throw that work into the trash if it doesn't win the vote!
  Gee i wonder why minecraft's development is so slow..
- Ya, any time I bring this up in Minecraft communities, people really don’t like it. But the updates are so sparse that it feels insulting.
- Random question in case I have free time, would it be legal to entirely reimpliment the Minecraft engine open source in a better programming language?
  Then do something like opekjdk and just release alongside the official with QOL and performance improvements

  you can completely legally extract the textures from your minecraft install and use a program to convert them to be used in minetest :)
  It's just illegal to redistribute them.
  There are also popular third party texture packs from minecraft that people have converted to be used in minetest, which are legal to redistribute so you can just download them and use as is :D

Btw: even tho we already have the parrot could the crab also rave to the music as an easter egg?

fuck everything else
dog armor. Enough said.
Savannah biomes need extra love anyway

When the mob vote with the phantom happened, there was a mob that was meant to be able to disenchant your tools. Even though it didnt get added, the grindstone did, which did the same thing
If the crab doesnt win the vote, it is likely that there will be an item like the crab claw
- This is something I always try to keep in mind. For example, the rascal had a chance of offering you an enchanted iron pickaxe, but since it didn't win they gave that functionality to the wandering trader.

That crabs aren't already in Minecraft is a travesty that needs to be corrected immediately.

I think i am going for the crab

This is a tough vote, all the options are decent! I'm mostly between crab and armadillo, leaning crab. The armadillo is way cuter though.

crab
the claw item sounds kinda powerful

crab is based

Dad-a-chum? Dum-a-chum? Ded-a-chek? Did-a-chick?

I’m honestly torn between Crab (seemingly the favorite to win, would make construction way more convenient without all the scaffolding) and Armadillo (as MC has long been lacking in the pet department; cats don’t do much besides repel creepers and protect you from phantoms, the equines and camels are just mounts, parrots don’t really do anything, and allays are painfully rare for how useful they are and more of manual labor than pets), and we never let our wolves help fight mobs and make them sit in our bases all the time, ever fearful of their job’s high mortality rate. But IMO they should just add all 3 because they all sound really useful (we won’t go wrong no matter which one wins, unlike with the sniffer, phantom and glow squid)- but that would take way too much effort for mojang to handle these days, as they’ve gotten so lazy they fail to deliver in a whole year what every other major ancient game that still updates regularly can do in 2 months; we had to wait A WHOLE YEAR for minor bug fixes, JE server performance being increased from 12 TPS to 13 TPS, a new tree and 2 new mobs. Or at least hold a “second-chance” mob vote for the runner-ups of previous ones.
And if the crab wins, they better make it rave to jukeboxes and give its claw enchants that increase its reach even more.

Penguin

Your telling me you can protect your dog from dangerous situations..... and you choose grabby grab?
- I want crabs, but I also want dog armor. I say we compromise and use crab shells as dog armor.
- Pretty much every dog dies from lava that it falls into on its own. Armour isn't going to help with that.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.

My opinion: All are shit
Crab: People are looking forward to not struggling anymore with the block reach, but jokes on them, if you increase the reach by one block, you'll run into the same issue, just as quickly. Only because you can build one block farther doesn't mean that you don't have to jump to place a block
Armadillo: Nobody uses dogs. They are useless, slow, weak and horse armor is more useful. They serve as furniture, unlike cats which can be used in farms.
Penguins: Ice biomes are too rare. Also literally just another dolphin. If I see ice and want to go fast, I put my boat on the ice, not in the water.
Actually degenerate mob selection. How are these useful? Rather make the bats useful
