[UPDATE | October 15, 11:30 PST] – The Minecraft Live 2023 event has ended, and we have the results of this year's Mob Vote. Drum roll, please…the winner of Minecraft Mob Vote 2023 is armadillo. Yes, this cute mob will be added in the next big update, which will allow us to protect our dogs better. The Minecraft 1.21 update brings some other highly requested changes, so don't forget to check out these new features via the guide linked below.

October has arrived and with it, a very exciting time for the Minecraft community. Minecraft Live 2023 is scheduled for October 15, and the first details of the Minecraft 1.21 update will be revealed. However, one more big event will happen before the event, and that is the Minecraft Mob Vote 2023. It is a community-based vote that allows players to contribute to the future of the game by choosing the new mob to be added to the game. In this article, we share everything you need to know about the upcoming mob candidates, so you can easily choose your favorite.

The first mob option in Minecraft Mob Vote 2023 has just been revealed. It's a crab! In the official showcase video, the crab mob has an unusually vibrant blue shell. Also, one of its claws is quite large compared to the other. The mobs will be the inhabitants of the mangrove swamp biome and will apparently be able to climb blocks vertically. This is a very cool mechanic that so far only spiders have.

One of the crabs in the video was submerged in the water and it appears that only the giant claw is visible. Maybe it's so big that it completely protects them from getting soaked. Tinies, in the video, mentions that players will love the crab claw because it allows them to place blocks further away. What does this really mean? Will players be encouraged to kill the crab and obtain its claw? Will it then be a tool of some kind? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
