Mojang has released the 3 trailers for the mobs for this year's mob vote. Players from around the world can vote on their favorite new mob trailer to get their new mob added to the game!
The vote opens on October 14, 12PM EDT and closes on October 15, 12PM EDT. You only get one vote, but you can change it as many times as you want during these 24 hours
This year, voting will be done through 3 different methods. These new methods will ensure players from around the world are all heard equally
- Minecraft Launcher
- Minecraft.net
- A special map for Bedrock Edition
Let's meet our contestants:
Rascal
A mischievous mob that loves to play Hide & Seek! The rascal lurks in underground mines, waiting to be found. If you spot the same rascal three times, it will reward you with a prize so keep your eyes open!
Sniffer
This ancient creature was once part of the Overworld’s ecosystem, now you can bring back the sniffer if you can find its egg! Hatch new mobs, breed them, and figure out how to make the sniffer thrive once more. There are seeds out there that only the sniffer can find!
Tuff Golem
A statue with a twist – it comes alive! When the tuff golem awakens, it will walk around, pick up, and hold any item it comes across. Don’t worry, it will return to the same spot that you’ve placed it when it turns back into a statue. It may be a work of art, but you’re the designer.

Rascal.
It's nice to have a reward in the game even if it is random
I vote Sniffer it will add more lore to the game
sniffer is wat i want.
great one
sniffer
Sniffer=bone meal farm
and lore
I vote for sniffer
None of these mobs are particularly original. A tuff golem seems like an allay, a sniffer like a turtle mixed with a dolphin, and a rascal like a dolphin too.
If I had to pick one for immersion, I would narrowly choose the sniffer. If I had to pick for scariness, the rascal. The golem is probably least specific and thus most useful.
я за снифира:DBlock:
Tuff Golem seems the most useful. How much have people wanted in vanilla something besides villagers that can do something for you. How many Computer Craft turtles that mine, build, send stuff to your chests besides Ender Chests/pipes. I'd used Ancient Warfare all the time for it's equivalent villagers because they were actually useful than vanilla villagers.
If you can tell it what to do and not be a useless being that does barely anything besides being a statue as decor then sure, I can give it commands I'll be happy if not much at all then I'll be disappointed like I am every single mob they introduce.
(as in actual commands to program or options of 'pick up, place here, build this blueprint to tie into those in the creative menu whatever they were never used them, fight to protect the villager or any mobs never the house so I can sleep, use a leash or food to make animals get away from crops to a pen, a bunch of tasks I could have them do instead of being useless.
But Mojang won't do that because I can easily come up with better ideas than them like the rest of the community vanilla or modded and their basic ideas not connecting with old elements really that well like Glowstone over Glowsquid and worst use case for a mob as much as Polar Bears, like seriously. Why can't I keep a Glowsquid as a traveling lightbulb mob, or use their sacs for a lamp/torch, maybe as a redstone like dust on the ground, or maybe a light level type scale about thing to torch or redstone torch lighting or something useful not an item frame, I came up with ideas on the spot and are all better than Mojang pathetic ideas, Mojang suck at ideas. It's a light and they do light on a decor item not actual light useful things, tell me that's the dumbest thing in the game. Decor is what you put on it, not a useful mechanic or feature).
The Sniffer to me doesn't have much purpose. An egg and seeds, pass can just have dispensers that do bonemeal on crops, and also fish offer bonemeal so just have a fish farm with dispensers using swords some how or something or other means and otherwise villagers already do seeds anyways let alone a seed finder or whatever the egg does. Sounds kind of useless or needs more.
Then again did they give these purposes now instead of nothing but designs so we can decide better as they used to be pointless and had bad uses. Glowsquids are useless for item drops than glowing item frames, wow it's not like they couldn't do that with glowstone already not a new mob and item, sigh. If we could use them in a bottle or as a mine helmet or honestly 100s of other things sure but seriously Mojang suck at items for gameplay mechanic use.
In terms of the Rascal something in the mines is great but it's use case is pretty terrible honestly for probably terrible rewards or being too easy to get diamonds or something and the way to trigger it sounds so easy to cheese it isn't funny (also when seen 3 times can't that be abused in a way how often can you just run around or stand there for maybe 5 minutes go back to it, sounds like pretty easy to cheat design unless they put something else into it).
I am all for mobs in mines but if that's all they do pass even if I'd put it second and Sniffer last. They aren't a mining buddy they aren't useful to me compared to the Tuff Golem if it could do mining and building/placing things or automating my chests or furnaces or so for me. Whether you offer them something to recruit them even, say food or a resource for a set number of blocks or resources or are greedy or something then this bare bones feature where I couldn't care less what the reward is they could be a villager with bad trades level useless of what they consider 'reward' value for all I know than something useful.
The tuff golem serves no practical purpose other than being a butler, which is exactly why I'm choosing him
I vote for sniffer

I VOTED FOR THE SNIFFER
I vote for the Tuff Golem!!!
I want to vote for the sniffer because they're so cute and because I'm 8 years old
Rascals look a bit too human-esque to be mine animals, so maybe sniffer then to help get rare seeds and root veggies without looking for structures or mass killing zombies.
Yeppppp just what I thought
The sniffer sound nice
Honestly, all these mobs are awful, and we shouldn't have to vote for stuff Mojang can easily implement into the game. They should just give us good updates instead of having us beg for one.
I vote for sniffer
