Minecraft 1.21 Mob Vote… The CRAB!

Not a fan of that mangrove swamp biome so that's unfortunate, but the fiddler crab looks like a solid mob

The perfect chance to also let spiders walk on all surfaces. It looks and feel awful right now…

Ah cool, another community poll that I'll probably forget about until after it's already over

Was expecting disappointment, but honestly, I'm impressed. That actually seems very useful, especially for building!

My hopes are basically nonexistent at this point with the mob vote.

The sniffer is ridiculously useless, and got voted only because it looked cool and for the "what if this meant they also add X?" effect. We all got speculative about the new plants, what could they be, how would they work and all… and they ended up being two decorative flowers. I think we will be less disappointed if we assume what we see in the mob presentations is literally wat we will get.

And for the crab… well, it's not as useless as the sniffer and it's not as absurdly difficult to obtain either, which is good, but it doesn't look like it's worth much. It will roam around, climbing walls (I hope at least the visuals are like in the video and it doesn't climb like the spider) and will somehow give us a claw that allows placing blocks further. How much further than usual? We don't know, so I agree with someone I read here in the comments that we should assume it's only one block further, not twice as far. At least that way we can't be disappointed. And we don't know how will we obtain the claw or how will it work. I'd assume we obtain it by killing crabs (the obvious answer in this game) and it has durability (again, the obvious answer). At least, if it's that way, you'll have reasons to search for crabs more than once, or to make a farm. If it doesn't have durability, then the crab is a one-use mob, which is the worst a mob can be.

Honestly, I won't even bother to vote. At this point, I think just rolling with whatever comes up is better than wishing for one specific mob. Because, if you vote and your mob doesn't come, it's frustrating, and if it comes and it's worse than you wished it's also frustrating. If you aren't invested on which one comes at least it's harder to feel frustrated about it.

My position for a long time is that either all three options are good enough to be included in the game and therefore should all be included.
Or: one or more options aren't good enough to be included in the game and therefore shouldn't be an option in the vote.

Either way I feel that we shouldn't be voting on what's to be included, except possibly, in what order things should be added.

Dude, I wanted to not get spoiled about the next 2 mobs! Please include a spoiler warning or something next time.

I don't care what it does, but a BIRD MOB? Yes, yes, yes!

I really REALLY wish they would stop this. This basically confirms that we won't ever get 2 of these 3 mobs when they all feel like they should be in the game. Having something flying above the seas would be great. Having Jellyfish would look really nice in waters and make it more diverse, Crabs are Crabs and that is good enough reason for them to exist in the game, but they also have a really good item I would want really badly. Anything that makes building more fun and easier is always good for this game, and it would just suck if it wasn't added.

ah, the Minecraft Mob Vote. the yearly event where Minecraft players yell at eachother

The ither two mobs are the seagull and jellyfish

Thanks for your service @xisumavoid, always nice to be up-to-date!

Why don't they just add all three? I swear to god, these mod votes kill the game

I think it would be awesome if they spawned in the stoney shore or something in the ocean. Stoney shore would be really cool. When they first said it helps with building, i imagined it would make you climb up walls or something, but i think its really awesome to have more reach as a builder who does tall ceilings lol

Where's the sand golem? It's a mob that let's you know when sand is in it's line of sight from three blocks away.
Or the ice golem, that makes one (1) random block of ice per in-game day (0.1% chance for packed ice or whatever the blue non-melting ice is called).
Or the glass golem that allows you to see what's behind it and occasionally jumps. It also shatters from any sort of fall of any height.
Don't these sound like useful and amazing mobs that are definitely worth waiting a full year for?

Y’all complain about phantoms because you can’t take 5 seconds out of the 60 minutes it takes for 3 days to cycle and then to spawn for you to click a bed. Didn’t realize that was so hard or annoying 😂

Potion of extended reach? Maybe.

Offhand parity in 1.21?

Seagull would be cool, Minecraft needs more birds

I don't want to join the crowd of people who complain for mob votes but i really hope the other 2 arent the leaked jellyfish and seagull, because all 3 of these just seem a bit boring and plain. I think the mob vote should be restricted to more fantasy style mobs and then mojang add in a realistic mob as an extra per update (like the camel)

My guess for the use of crap claw is that we cannot directly use it as it is, so maybe we can craft something like a grabbing mechanism, or maybe brew it to make a potion that extends reach ( but this doesnt seem very logical)
