[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60951, member: 1"] Since 2016, Mojang has been hosting an annual mob vote that lets players choose the next creature it adds to Minecraft. In recent years, though, players have grown increasingly unhappy with the tradition, and this year they've taken to "unionizing" to express their disappointment. Last Thursday, the team behind Minecraft revealed [URL='https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/live']2023's mob vote[/URL] and its three options: a [URL='https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/mob-vote-crab']crab[/URL] that drops claws that can boost a player's reach when placing blocks, an [URL='https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/mob-vote-armadillo']armadillo[/URL] that drops scutes which can be crafted into wolf armor, and a [URL='https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/mob-vote-penguin']penguin[/URL] that boosts the speed of nearby boats.
