This was originally posted before Minecraft Live 2023. It somehow got unshared, and Idk for how long. Congratulations Armadillo! The 1.21 update has been released for both the Bedrock and Java Editions as of Thursday, June 13, 2024. Edit: Wow 200 views! This thing really blew up, didn't it? =================OUTDATED================== Who are you voting for this time? The three new mob vote candidates in Minecraft Live 2023 are the crab, the armadillo, and the penguin. The crab spawns in mangrove swamps and drops the crab claw for extended reach while mining and building. The crab could also wave to you according to the trailers. The armadillo spawns in savannas and drops scutes (not turtle scutes) that can be crafted into armor for your pet wolves. (It's about time!) The penguin spawns in cold biomes like the frozen ocean. It is an excellent swimmer, but pretty clumsy on land. It will help your boats go faster. One of these mobs will be added in the 1.21 update.
Original artwork and music belongs to Mojang Studios and Microsoft. Honestly, I kinda hate that they linked each mob to a mechanic and each mechanic to a mob. Most people want the penguin, but the penguin is linked to a reused mechanic (ice can already make speedy boats). No one wanted the armadillo, and yet, they have a mechanic that many players (including myself) have been wanting for years. The crab is just there looking cute.
