On October 18th, 2021, Minecraft Live went live on Youtube.
Minecraft Live is an annual live event where the Minecraft developers talk about upcoming updates, the mob vote, and much more.
Before the world pandemic hit, the event was in-person in different places around the world. It used to be called ‘Minecon’.
The most exciting part of the show is probably the mob vote. A ‘mob’ is any living creature in Minecraft, such as wolves or creepers. People can vote a mob they would like to be added into the game out of three mob choices.
This year were the Glare, Allay, and the Copper Golem.
1. Glare
The glare looks like a grumpy lettuce to be honest. This unique mob was shown at the Minecraft official YouTube page that it can detect dark spots hostile mobs can spawn in. This was the first mob to be introduced to people and ended up being the least voted mob.
2. Copper Golem
The Copper Golem is very interesting. It is somewhat a variant of the existing mob Iron Golem, but smaller and it has unique characteristics. This golem was shown to be able to fiddle with redstone components and eventually oxidize and become a statue. I personally rooted for this one.
3. Allay
The Allay was the last mob to be introduced and it was shown to be a little light blue fairy-like creature. When given an item from a player, it will go around searching for matching items. When it finds some, it will drop it off near a noteblock (it likes music) or the player. Many players misunderstood this as the Allay having the ability to duplicate items, but that is not the case.
The Allay ended up winning the vote this year and was announced to be added into the game in the 1.19 Wild Update. But this doesn’t mean the other mobs can’t be added! They still have the chance to be added in later updates if Mojang decides to do so.
