Mojang is once again holding its annual Mob vote for Minecraft. In this event, the community can vote between three different mobs to be added to Minecraft. However, unlike previous Mob Votes that added creatures like the Sniffer, a large portion of the fanbase decided to “boycott” this year’s Mob Vote.
Mob Voting was first announced earlier this month, giving players the option to choose one of the following mobs: a Crab that can place blocks farther apart when building, an Armadillo that can be used to craft Wolf armor, and a Penguin that can make boats travel faster.
The community began objecting shortly after the vote was announced. A photo started circulating on X, formerly Twitter. This photo reads: “Please stop voting and post all mobs or none. This would make much more sense than baiting the fanbase with three good ideas and only adding one. Sincerely, Your Loyal and Loving Fans #StopTheMobVote.”
After a short time, "Stop Mob Voting: Stop great ideas being trashedA change.org petition called ” was created and has now collected over 300.000 signatures. As the name suggests, the goal is to eliminate voting. In the petition, the organizers express their disinterest as follows:
“Mob Voting creates engagement by pitting the community against each other, scrapping fantastical ideas, and teasing content that will never be seen in the game. … In the past, fan favorites like Moobloom have failed to make it into the game, with creators prompting their fanbase to vote for the least popular option. “This shows that mob voting is inherently flawed.”
Over this past weekend, the online movement took on a life of its own. People began creating Minecraft-inspired revolutionary and union propaganda posters to raise awareness. If you search #MinecraftMobVote or #StopTheMobVote on Twitter, you'll find a variety of posts expressing similar sentiments.
If you search for the same hashtags on TikTok, you will find similar posts. Some users have even started using a specific speech spoken by Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077 to help get their message across.
It's unclear whether this trend will take effect because Minecraft mob voting starts on October 13 and ends on October 15, which is the day Minecraft Live will go live and announce the winner.
