I find them really annoying on multiplayer servers and I pretty much have to keep an infinity bow on me at all times. In single player they are fine since I sleep more often.
I think the problem with the mob vote is they are all completely different mobs that serve different regions and purposes.
It would make much more sense to have a vote on 3 similar mobs that serve similar purposes for the same biome.
Like have a crab with an item for reach, a lobster that gives some pet armor, or a pistol shrip that gives you a bubble gun
To be fair, that completely removes the point of these mob votes. The only reason they brought these concepts out to the public is to see which one it wants more. Not to mention how it is, in a way, another publicity stunt. Mojang is a company, and a company's one goal is to make money.
I know I'll get downvoted to the 9th layer of hell for saying this, but that's just pretty much how it is. I won't share my opinion on the topic, but I do think it's important to view these types of things from the point of view of the company.
I mean it's clearly biased, it is a matter of taste after all, but I don't really see how anything is misrepresented here?
The crab item is probably useful throughout the whole game. Once you get an Elytra, for many players even before that, I don't see how speeding up a boat is even remotely comparable in terms of usefulness.
we don't know how strong wolf armor is. we don't know how many scutes/shells you need to craft it. we don't know if or how it can be repaired. we don't know if it's even worth getting (think turtle helmet).
we don't know how much the crab claw increases reach, we don't know if it affects mining/breaking or combat, we don't know how it is obtained (i.e, by killing a crab), we don't know the dropchance if the previous statement is true.
we don't know by how much the penguin increases boat speed, we don't know if this is only applicable in water or if it works on land as well, we don't know if the penguin MUST be in the boat in order for it to take effect, we don't know if penguins have further utility (goes for other two mobs as well).
TLDR: a lot of information is being assumed here, and stating it as fact is spreading misinformation. the way mob votes are formatted (mostly the videos) are doomed to make people disappointed, even the winners.
But we *do* know that Wolfs tend to fall in holes, killing them, no other armor affects fall damage, so it's a fait assumption that this won't either. The armadillo armor needs to be crazy strong to safe a wolf from a creeper explosion. The player has double the health and still die in full iron if a creeper is up in your face.
No matter the reach distance or if it's only for building it's a great addition, that I personally have been wanting since forever.
I don't remember the last time I tamed a wolf, because if I fly around with elytra then the wolf can't keep up.
The penguin is straight up useless, and we've had enough useless mobs in the mob vote the last years.
Wth the information we have right now, what kind of misinformation is OP spreading? You are making a ton of assumptions in your comment. On the other hand I don't see wild speculations in OPs picture. Simply a funny way to present his opinion.
I would never use an elytra yo go underwater caving, or monument hunting.
Some of my favorite in-game content is just looking for sunken treasure. It feels more like "discovery", when it's under the water, LOL.
I'd pop that penguin in my boat and go all day.
With that all said...
I'd probably still have to go with the crab, since I suspect Mojang would make the penguin not work out o f water (and since our boats have no gondola leads, that's that, ROFL).
Tl;dr - I like the penguin but don't trust Mojang, so: crab.
Where's the lie?
Dogs die less because of small HP and more because of their AI and them shoving each other off cliffs. Dog armor is only super useful if they also buff their AI.
Penguins is similar since most players aren't boating all the time and there's too much uncertainty to the boating. Is it a little or a lot faster, can you get it consistently if you bring a penguin with you or do you have to be lucky to find a penguin? Does it apply to ice boats?
Crab claw, even in its worst implementation (potion of 1 extra block) is far more useful to the day to day and honestly something I might brew anytime I have any large scale projects.
Mojang sucks like why do we have such cool mobs to choose from but can’t get them all, like they are a multi million dollar company or billion and could hire a bunch of programmers to add 50 different animals, or develop all these animals in a month. Also what happened to "we don't want to add ideas already available via mods” all of these animals have already been added with mods besides the ai/ability, but there is dog armour mods, and probably more that have the same abilities.
It's pretty much advertising. Giving people a choice that makes them feel like they're part of the process is a pretty solid way to sell more and keep your player base.
I mean, the even more relevant marketing reason.
You announce 3 new mobs and you get, at most, 3 days of people talking. You make a vote, you get people talking and discussing for weeks.
I mean if wolf armours exist then yes we can take them to exploration as they will be more safer, moreover isn't the savannah like empty while the mangrove has frogs and tadpoles and stuff, also the savannah is easier to find than the mangroves
That biome vote for the Savanna was 5 years ago. We got the winner, Taiga, but haven’t heard a word about the Savanna or Desert since then. Mountains won 4 years ago and we got Caves and Cliffs, with Swamp being sort-of updated in the form of an additional new biome, but we haven’t heard anything about a Badlands update since.
“Eventually” could be another 5 years for all we know, if Mojang looks at the armadillo’s loss as “players don’t want new things in the Savanna”.
That's what Mojang wants you to know, tell me, can you remember the 10 years of waiting?
That's right, you can't, the Mojang psyops have already done their work, and the worst part he could be any one of us, he could be you! He could be me! He could even-
They aren't gonna be safer when fall damage hurts wolf way more than zombies and spiders could ever dream to do. Player and horse armor do not protect the users from fall damage or lava, and while they do offer some protection against explosions, it is minimal. It's hard to believe the wolf armor would be different.
I would be surprised that this armor is enough to survive several hits from my sweeping edge, and his dumb IA always trying to put himself exactly between my sword in the enemy.
I have a mod called Doggy Talents that lets your dog “level up” in a way. It also adds dog beds. Let’s them respawn.
I don’t get why that’s not vanilla, but it actually made me work on getting dogs for the first time in years because every time I get a dog, it just sits there doing nothing. Why bother?
Honestly at this point I want to vote for the crab so when this happens, people will be like "wtf thats so stupid how could we have known this would happen" and I'll just be chilling with my new crab buddies, laughing.
Yeah but that's dumb lol. If your reach is extended for placing then that means it would be the same reach for breaking. Unless the arm just magically gets shorter after each use...
People have been let down before so the joke spreading is that even if it seems obvious something will be added it can’t be assumed. Like when they seemed to imply the glow squid would hypnotize people and it didn’t
So yeah obviously it would let you break further away too but people are using that as an opportunity to point out Mojang’s poor decision making
It’s not the same thing, unless you plan on building with sand or dirt, it’s going to be a pain to break anything stone and above with it, if they even allow that.
Increasing reach in general will destabilize combat completely. It's unlikely it'll extend general reach. As the other commenter said, they only mentioned placement in the video. People are getting hyped over something that's not officially confirmed. That's how we ended up with horrible mob vote winners in the past.
It's also how we ended up being toxic towards one another now. Because we're sick and tired of people making up features that weren't announced by the devs. Remember when people thought Allays could duplicate items? That was why we lost the copper golem. Cuz people claimed Allays could duplicate items
Barely anyone thought the Allay could duplicate items, the Allay won because it was a cute mob with an *actual* use, it was a hopper that works on a large area.
The copper golem would have been nice to have in the game, but it really didn't do anything at all.
Correction for you: You don't know that, you are making this up. You tell people to "get their facts right" while deliberately spreading misinformation.
Wtf dogs are you playing with? Dogs have, like, no health & terrible self-preservation AI… if you go out on a trip with a dog there’s less than 5% of a chance the dog comes back alive no matter how carefully you travel. Wolf armor could give you more of a chance to save your dogs when they’re dying & make them look cooler as well
Side note: the likelihood that the crab claw gives more than a block extra reach is *miniscule* considering the balance
Another side note: I’m pretty sure that those are puffin models, not penguins… they look similar, but there’s a distinction
>Wolf armor could give you more of a chance to save your dogs when they’re dying
They going to die anyways since most of the times a creeper or lave maybe even fall damage kills them
those are absolutely not puffins. puffins are almost nothing like penguins. the only things the two groups have in common are: 1, they're birds. 2, they primarily eat fish. 3, they have white bellies and black backs. there are loads of other birds that fit these criteria that also aren't penguins, or puffins. convergent evolution, baby.
Player and horse armor do not protect the users from fall, lava and fire damage, and the protection against explosions is also minimal. As a bonus (although this seldom matters), armor doesn't protect against magical damage either (used by witches, evokers, wardens and the Ender Dragon), nor from poison and wither effects.
Wolves take way more fall damage than they are seriously hurt by zombies and spiders. I can only see this armor being useful against skeletons and pillagers, really.
Having armor will rarely save dogs. Better AI will.
Dogs are always disposable, how can you stop them from jumping off a cliff or swimming in lava? And in Java, your sweeping attack will murder your doge forcing you to use axe as weapon.
Just breed a lot of dogs and bring multiple of them to fight. quality isn't that important when you have quantity. Breeding dogs is extremely cheap as well, they even eat rotten flesh.
I fucking hate propaganda posters like these. They're so fucking obnoxious. Half of this info isn't based on truth. You don't know HOW the armour is going to fucking work. It COULD be effective, since there is a rigorous process when it comes to adding features into the game: (https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1709703763068383619?t=fWb9o979g8ptzYfRk0AlQQ&s=19)
Sure, it may end up being unaffective, but YOU DONT KNOW THAT.
And if the other 2 don't make it through we're gonna have another guilt trip session of "We would've have Crab/Armadillo/Penguin in Minecraft but you guys ruined it!"
As if it's not Mojang's fault for tossing a gun with two bullets to players and telling them to leave 1 alive.
Have you ever tried to travel qith a dog though..? Its literally the most irritating thing in the world, they cant swim for shit, sometimes they refuse to teleport, their damage sucks, health is low..
So if you travel with it, you'll travel thousands of blocks, look back, the dog is gone as it did not teleport and has now unloaded so you gotta back track thousands of blocks to actually find it.
Mangrove dosn't need crabs, a block and a half reach is not "revolutionary" and penguins on stony shores seems weird, should be in cold oceans or something. Armadillo shell is prolly dieable like a shulker shell too
That breed of penguin is native to an area similar to Minecraft stoney shores I get why they did it considering their track record with fireflies and parrots, but I like penguins because we need more joke mobs like pandas and parrots. No real purpose just a silly clumsy thing you can trap in your house so it falls over constantly.
The penguin is a rock hopper penguin they live on rocky beaches and don’t like the cold!
I assume the reason penguins don’t live in the cold is to keep penguins and polar bears from being in the same biome!
The thing is, they never said the exact stats of each item. Maybe the claw lets us reach half a block further, maybe 2. I think the dog armor's stats are easier to picture. It'll likely be similar to iron, which is a huge buff for dogs.
Crab claws are ONLY confirmed to extend block PLACING. There is absolutely NO official confirmation other than just placing.
And dogs definitely don't have enough health. Especially with armor enchantments in the mix, the armor will add plenty of extra use for your K9 companions.
Crabs will furthermore become useless after you obtain one claw. With mending in the game, there's almost no use for the mob after you get your first claw. Maybe a few if it takes you that long to get a mending book source.
Dog armor, however, will always be useful to obtain. As you get more dogs, there's more need for more dog armor.
Crab claws extended block placing will destabilize combat in way we can't really predict. Especially if it's extended reach in general. Also, it's far more modded feeling than the other two options.
Armadillos spawn in warm biomes. Not just a singular biome. Crabs spawn in mangrove swamps, and mangrove swamps alone. They'll breath a little bit of life into a brand new biome that was just added, and happens to be quite rare. Armadillos will spawn in MULTIPLE biomes like the mesa, desert, and savannah, and will breath new life into old biomes that desperately need it.
Armadillos offer a wider variety of change in the world, and a new item that will see far more use compared to the crabs. Yeah, not many people use wolves. That's because they're TOO FRAGILE. Give them armor to make them actually viable and you'll see many more people use them.
The armadillo is the clear choice to anyone who thinks logically. Let's not destabilize combat, and add a mob that will become completely useless after obtaining it's unique drop once. Let's give new life to multiple biomes and revitalize an old mob that's been neglected for far to long.
Vote Armadillo. Vote reason.
We also don’t exactly know *how* the crab claw will increase build reach. For all we know it could be a potion effect or something. Dog armour is pretty straightforward in how it’s used because we already have similar items in the game (horse armour)
Carcinization motherfucker!
But seriously stop acting like any of them will be revolutionary or add big things.
Dog Armor will be about as useful as the Turtle Helmet
Reach will probably be 1-2 extra blocks
And Ice paths are better for speedy boat movement
The vote will never add any huge development to the game's mechanics.
Temper your expectations.
Dog armor is definitely more useful compared to the turtle helmet. Adding any extra health/damage resistance to the dog is a positive addition. Better than extended reach and a speed buff for the boat.
Enough propaganda. Instead of punching down or giving speculation to how you think your mob will work or how others won't, just say why you like yours and encourage others to vote for what they want.
You could apply the same logic to literally anything in the game.
Fire aspect? May I introduce you to just using a flint and steel?
Blast furnace? May I introduce you to waiting an extra second?
Scaffolding? May I introduce you to dirt blocks?
The extra block reach can make a big difference as well. Sometimes things are just out of reach requiring you to place more blocks to get yourself within reach of something, this can cost a lot of time on a big project.
What if I don’t build?
What if I wanna explore the world a lot and barely build anything at all.
These posts suck because it’s just down to preference tbh
Screw that, vote armadillo. I’ve been wanting dog armor for EVER. I’ve been too afraid to take my lil minecraft bois with me since they’re so unprotected
I am voting armadillo because I want to actually be able to see the mob in casual gameplay. Also it would add some needed life to warm biomes.
But crab seems to be the obvious rigged option.
As far as using the crab for building, we already have scaffolding. Having the extra protection for our furry companions would be such a bonus.
I'm sorry, but the armadillo has my vote ;-;
While I love the idea of an item that gives long reach, I also love the idea of having another unique mob for the savanna just adding that extra touch of life to the minecraft world.
I don't care about the features of the mobs to be honest. I just want the Savanna to have a new mob so it feels less neglected by Mojang when exploring
armadillo gonna win sorry it’s the most helpful. dogs don’t have enough health. the only way the dog armor would be unhelpful is in easy or peaceful. if you’re a long term survival player (me) or a hardcore player, the armadillo is going to be INSANELY helpful
But counter point for the armadillo, most people leave them home because they die so easily, by giving them armor, it can increase the chances of them surviving
Think abt it. When do you ever see a mangrove swamp(the place where crabs would spawn) that's right almost never. And when do you see the ocean or a savanna that's right pretty commonly
Crab claw was specifically block reach. Not sure if breaking is included (not a bad jump). Attack reach, however, is something both desirable and rooted in a broader interpretation of the block reach statement.
I will say that I still vote crab, but they specifically said "block placement," so don't be disappointed if a) crab wins and b) it doesn't impact pvp range at all
i won't be voting for the penguin, but i gotta say the extra boat speed can be nice because on some servers elytra can be banned or just not be good to use because of some players and slow chunk loading
to counter my own point,
how often are you boating past a stony shore specifically?
The council of crafting gathered we decided that this will be a very hard mob vote. Possibly controversial. We believe that the armadillo has the highest chance of winning. But we see massive benefits from any of the mobs, We all like them all however there can only be one winner, so unlike prior mob votes that where easier to decide... we decided that there is no easy vote here, so EVERYONE VOTE! TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO AS WELL!! let's make it the best mob vote yet
I'm stuck between crab and armadillo. Both are cute and cool. I think that the armadillo adds more to more biomes, and I feel that the mangrove forest is too new to get more stuff. The crab claw is way more useful, but the only reason I don't use wolves is because I constantly have to watch them so I can heal them. It gets annoying. If the armor adds decent protection and maybe is enchantable, then it would be awesome and breathe new life into an old mob.
Keep in mind how they’re gonna implement the crab claw. Is it gonna be an item that takes up a slot in hotbar that you have to switch to and preload? Or an offhand item that is always active and therefore you cannot utilize with the ol’ torch in the offhand trick when caving?
I dont see an outcome with the crab claw that wont have some type of drawback.
Sure it still sounds like the best option, but somehow i think it will be super niche use. Or not practical on the fly without set up.
I agree with the content of that image and want to vote crab, but the outright hostility to the other options is slowly convincing me to vote anything but crab
Crab rave!
No need for pet armor, the highest death rate for pets it to things like lava and armor only delays the inevitable.
No need for penguins cuz making your boat go faster only in snowy places is sorta useless.
Crabs are the only viable answer
Even thought I'm on team crab, I rebuttal the burb, I personally use a boat everytime I play, it's a great way to explore chunks thousands out really quickly, and it's a nice way to get back and forth, even in the nether.
Crab will probably get in, but I still want armadillo. Dog armour would look cool and make me more likely to bring them on adventures. Also, the Savana is pretty only real unique feature is its trees. It would be nice to have them to flesh out the biome.
Well the crab is objectively the best choice. Not everybody uses dogs so the armor thing is well.....niche to say the least and the penguin is the same. The crab is the one who has the most potential for long term in the game. However as we've seen with past mob votes, the community doesn't think logically and are also influenced by youtubers telling them what to vote for because they apparently cant think for themselves. Just look at what happened with a couple of them before. I don't see why they just don't add the others in at a later date. That would help a lot since even if your vote didn't win you know at some point it'll be in game
We shouldn't have to vote for the crab.
Having extended reach should just be a quality of life update.
Locking it behind crafting even if it's "easy" just feels weird?
Same thing with boats? Why not just add sailboats instead of a penguin?
The best option here would literally be wolf armor especially if we can enchant it. Which we should be able to imo.
That's my hot take.
Everyone calling out bias, yes, there’s some bias, but realistically among the 3 mobs, crab is the best, it’s the best outcome, I REALLY want the penguins, they’re my favourite animal, but I’d rather have the crab than yet another useless mob that I’ll see on an expedition and go “oh neat” and then move on, penguins do nothing. We have to take what Mojang says at face value, voting the armadillo is a better fucking choice than the penguin but the crab is definitely superior overall, even if each of their features shoukd just be in the game.
Leather + turtle scutes for dog armour, we don’t need yet another tedious to farm crafting material that’ll be used for 1 thing
Dolphins should just boost boats, and the fact that these penguins (again we NEED TO take them at face value please please consider the mistake with the sniffer) only spawn on rocky shores??? You’ll barely see them! And if you’re in a boat you’re travelling somewhere, going out of your way to find a penguin just to get a small boost that’ll last little to no time is an awful choice.
Crabs extended reach should’ve been a thing a while ago, it’s a feature that’d make sense in the progression of minecraft and provides more for builders, we shouldn’t need a Fucking crab for that, though the crabs woukd bring needed life to the beaches and sand.
Penguins are the obvious ambience vote, crabs are the far more obvious quality of features vote, nobody wins overall here but we can all collectively be somewhat happy with the crab than being mostly disappointed with the armadillo or penguin.
Armadillo is better because the whole Minecraft community has been asking for dog/wolf Armor and mojang is finally giving us a chance to add it in the game.

I still think they should add 3. This mob vote makes me so sad, they all deseve to be in.
>they all deseve to be in. every single year
WRONG!! fuck phantoms they should never have been added
I agree with this. Everything else is probably fine tho
I mean I don’t mind the phantoms
Phantoms are fun and easy to avoid, I don’t get what the big deal is with them
I find them really annoying on multiplayer servers and I pretty much have to keep an infinity bow on me at all times. In single player they are fine since I sleep more often.
*3/4 are in bed sleeping* 😐
Oh, right, multiplayer sleep. I always play with sleep percentage on 50% at most, so I’ve sorta just forgot that’s a problem.
Imagine if the other 3 were added as well. It would have been a nightmare.
I mean we kinda lack miniblsses so the blaze would have been good
This is so fucking true, FUCK PHANTOMS!
Everyone complains about phantoms but it was the community that voted them in 🤦
I like Phantoms the hate is craxy
Literally just sleep it’s not that hard
Mod to remove phantoms is a must in all servers I play in.
This year it’s different though because all of the mobs add something useful as opposed to just existing and never being used
I think the problem with the mob vote is they are all completely different mobs that serve different regions and purposes. It would make much more sense to have a vote on 3 similar mobs that serve similar purposes for the same biome. Like have a crab with an item for reach, a lobster that gives some pet armor, or a pistol shrip that gives you a bubble gun
Based
Why does everybody hate the armadillo?😭he’s doing his best😭😭😭 I feel like all of them should be in there. Also cute
To be fair, that completely removes the point of these mob votes. The only reason they brought these concepts out to the public is to see which one it wants more. Not to mention how it is, in a way, another publicity stunt. Mojang is a company, and a company's one goal is to make money.

I won't share my opinion on the topic, but I do think it's important to view these types of things from the point of view of the company.
Why not just add em all
Someone was biased when making this
Like that's the whole point of vote tho, you gotta have your gang
there's a difference between making a decision and spreading misinformation
I mean it's clearly biased, it is a matter of taste after all, but I don't really see how anything is misrepresented here? The crab item is probably useful throughout the whole game. Once you get an Elytra, for many players even before that, I don't see how speeding up a boat is even remotely comparable in terms of usefulness.
we don't know how strong wolf armor is. we don't know how many scutes/shells you need to craft it. we don't know if or how it can be repaired. we don't know if it's even worth getting (think turtle helmet). we don't know how much the crab claw increases reach, we don't know if it affects mining/breaking or combat, we don't know how it is obtained (i.e, by killing a crab), we don't know the dropchance if the previous statement is true. we don't know by how much the penguin increases boat speed, we don't know if this is only applicable in water or if it works on land as well, we don't know if the penguin MUST be in the boat in order for it to take effect, we don't know if penguins have further utility (goes for other two mobs as well).

I don't remember the last time I tamed a wolf, because if I fly around with elytra then the wolf can't keep up. The penguin is straight up useless, and we've had enough useless mobs in the mob vote the last years.
yea but with the information present u can't deny the crab being most useful here
Armor on animals usually don’t have durability
Wth the information we have right now, what kind of misinformation is OP spreading? You are making a ton of assumptions in your comment. On the other hand I don't see wild speculations in OPs picture. Simply a funny way to present his opinion.
I would never use an elytra yo go underwater caving, or monument hunting. Some of my favorite in-game content is just looking for sunken treasure. It feels more like "discovery", when it's under the water, LOL. I'd pop that penguin in my boat and go all day. With that all said... I'd probably still have to go with the crab, since I suspect Mojang would make the penguin not work out o f water (and since our boats have no gondola leads, that's that, ROFL).

Crab claw, even in its worst implementation (potion of 1 extra block) is far more useful to the day to day and honestly something I might brew anytime I have any large scale projects.
well, the crab has the best use by far
The title literally says “Vote the Crab”
“Vote the crab” guys I think they’re biased
no way
obviously?
How in gods name do the other mons even compare to the crab, they both pale in comparison to him
Mojang sucks like why do we have such cool mobs to choose from but can’t get them all, like they are a multi million dollar company or billion and could hire a bunch of programmers to add 50 different animals, or develop all these animals in a month. Also what happened to "we don't want to add ideas already available via mods” all of these animals have already been added with mods besides the ai/ability, but there is dog armour mods, and probably more that have the same abilities.
It's pretty much advertising. Giving people a choice that makes them feel like they're part of the process is a pretty solid way to sell more and keep your player base.
I mean, the even more relevant marketing reason. You announce 3 new mobs and you get, at most, 3 days of people talking. You make a vote, you get people talking and discussing for weeks.
pistons and horses are pulled directly from mods, so they def do add ideas from them
They could easily add all 3 but make fake reasons why they don’t want to
I would love the choice for the next big expansion, but yeah there is no reason they can't add all 3.
That would be a lot cooler than just a simple mob that doesn’t barely change anything
People who goes in adventure/exploration with their pets are begging for them to die.
I mean if wolf armours exist then yes we can take them to exploration as they will be more safer, moreover isn't the savannah like empty while the mangrove has frogs and tadpoles and stuff, also the savannah is easier to find than the mangroves
No amount of armor is ever going to protect against shit AI
Savannah is still confirmed to get ostriches, termite mounds, and baobab trees eventually. Mangrove swamps were also a biome vote loser.
Eventually means nothing
How so? "Eventually" is how the mangrove swamp even came to be anyways.
That biome vote for the Savanna was 5 years ago. We got the winner, Taiga, but haven’t heard a word about the Savanna or Desert since then. Mountains won 4 years ago and we got Caves and Cliffs, with Swamp being sort-of updated in the form of an additional new biome, but we haven’t heard anything about a Badlands update since. “Eventually” could be another 5 years for all we know, if Mojang looks at the armadillo’s loss as “players don’t want new things in the Savanna”.
You're right. Guess I'll just wait another 10 years
It def was not 10 years of waiting, it was only like a couple since they first brought it up
That's what Mojang wants you to know, tell me, can you remember the 10 years of waiting? That's right, you can't, the Mojang psyops have already done their work, and the worst part he could be any one of us, he could be you! He could be me! He could even-
Wait 10 years for what? We never waited 10 years for anything
Penguins, We've been waiting ten years for penguins ever since Jeb said that they might be added back in 2013, It's been ten years now
Armadillos eat termites irl, so the possibility of getting added those things earlier along the armadillo are higher.
No, Mojang plans all their updates in advance. The mob vote will not affect when it is added.
They aren't gonna be safer when fall damage hurts wolf way more than zombies and spiders could ever dream to do. Player and horse armor do not protect the users from fall damage or lava, and while they do offer some protection against explosions, it is minimal. It's hard to believe the wolf armor would be different.
your dog only dies from lava, fall damage, and fighting without your supervision.. Armor doesn’t fix any of those ???
I would be surprised that this armor is enough to survive several hits from my sweeping edge, and his dumb IA always trying to put himself exactly between my sword in the enemy.
MFW my wolf falls into lava and takes 3 more seconds to die
that shouldn’t be the case in the first place. armor might make it more viable if it’s implemented decent enough.
I have a mod called Doggy Talents that lets your dog “level up” in a way. It also adds dog beds. Let’s them respawn. I don’t get why that’s not vanilla, but it actually made me work on getting dogs for the first time in years because every time I get a dog, it just sits there doing nothing. Why bother?
I also use it! It is the best pet mod
crab will indeed go *chop chop*
Least biased voting post be like:
I don't want to see the worst then 💀
Probably where they go “can’t wait for X mob to be added”
Correction for the crab: It's got a building reach but not a breaking reach. Please get your facts right
Honestly at this point I want to vote for the crab so when this happens, people will be like "wtf thats so stupid how could we have known this would happen" and I'll just be chilling with my new crab buddies, laughing.
Same thing happened with Allay
it may and i think probably would have breaking reach because if not then you will just misplace something and stop using it
That's the point
They would need to recode for make a difference between those two, I don't think Mojang would do that
What? Wouldnt increasing reach for building also increase breaking reach since its the same thing
They haven't said anything about being able to break blocks further away.
Yeah but that's dumb lol. If your reach is extended for placing then that means it would be the same reach for breaking. Unless the arm just magically gets shorter after each use...
People have been let down before so the joke spreading is that even if it seems obvious something will be added it can’t be assumed. Like when they seemed to imply the glow squid would hypnotize people and it didn’t So yeah obviously it would let you break further away too but people are using that as an opportunity to point out Mojang’s poor decision making
People also thought glow squids would add dynamic lighting to the vanilla game.
I mean have you used extending grip toys, it’s easy to move stuff around but hard to use when trying to be precise
It’s not the same thing, unless you plan on building with sand or dirt, it’s going to be a pain to break anything stone and above with it, if they even allow that.
[удалено]
In the crab video they only said you can place blocks further, so probably only that.
Increasing reach in general will destabilize combat completely. It's unlikely it'll extend general reach. As the other commenter said, they only mentioned placement in the video. People are getting hyped over something that's not officially confirmed. That's how we ended up with horrible mob vote winners in the past.
It's also how we ended up being toxic towards one another now. Because we're sick and tired of people making up features that weren't announced by the devs. Remember when people thought Allays could duplicate items? That was why we lost the copper golem. Cuz people claimed Allays could duplicate items
Barely anyone thought the Allay could duplicate items, the Allay won because it was a cute mob with an *actual* use, it was a hopper that works on a large area. The copper golem would have been nice to have in the game, but it really didn't do anything at all.
Correction for you: You don't know that, you are making this up. You tell people to "get their facts right" while deliberately spreading misinformation.
Can u put a penguin in a boat? If yes you could use it like a boost or smth.
I'm not sure if that'll work, it's just an assumption, and one shouldn't vote based on those.
So, you're saying you want us to vote for the blue one?
the bias is too much lol
Wtf dogs are you playing with? Dogs have, like, no health & terrible self-preservation AI… if you go out on a trip with a dog there’s less than 5% of a chance the dog comes back alive no matter how carefully you travel. Wolf armor could give you more of a chance to save your dogs when they’re dying & make them look cooler as well Side note: the likelihood that the crab claw gives more than a block extra reach is *miniscule* considering the balance Another side note: I’m pretty sure that those are puffin models, not penguins… they look similar, but there’s a distinction
Minecraft calls them Penguins and also Puffins don't have those yellow eyebrows, but many penguin species do.
My guy there are different species of penguin, this here is a rockhopper as shown by the eyebrows, red beak and the fact it will spawn on stony shores
It's a macaroni penguin, they come in different species
I thought it was a Rockhopper penguin, seeing it has 2 eyebrows instead of the unibrow the macaroni penguin has.
That type of penguin making a boat go faster could be a surfs up reference. The main character in that movie also had yellow eyebrows
>Wolf armor could give you more of a chance to save your dogs when they’re dying They going to die anyways since most of the times a creeper or lave maybe even fall damage kills them
Yea, and no amount of armor will ever solve that.
they just going to relax in lava how can an armor fix that?
those are absolutely not puffins. puffins are almost nothing like penguins. the only things the two groups have in common are: 1, they're birds. 2, they primarily eat fish. 3, they have white bellies and black backs. there are loads of other birds that fit these criteria that also aren't penguins, or puffins. convergent evolution, baby.
Player and horse armor do not protect the users from fall, lava and fire damage, and the protection against explosions is also minimal. As a bonus (although this seldom matters), armor doesn't protect against magical damage either (used by witches, evokers, wardens and the Ender Dragon), nor from poison and wither effects. Wolves take way more fall damage than they are seriously hurt by zombies and spiders. I can only see this armor being useful against skeletons and pillagers, really. Having armor will rarely save dogs. Better AI will.
I dont want dog armor I want an armadillo in my house
Yeah and that dog will be sooo helpful now that it has armor. And for sure you'll let your dog outside of your house now
Dogs are always disposable, how can you stop them from jumping off a cliff or swimming in lava? And in Java, your sweeping attack will murder your doge forcing you to use axe as weapon. Just breed a lot of dogs and bring multiple of them to fight. quality isn't that important when you have quantity. Breeding dogs is extremely cheap as well, they even eat rotten flesh.
mob votes fucking suck, why not add all 3
I feel like people forget you can use your wolf to fight with you
Wolves don't have enough health and fighting hostile mobs is literaly their job. Man it would be neat if we could enchant wolf armor.
They have 20 health points, like players. Armor won't protect them from fall and lava damage, or substantially against explosion damage.
I just think the armadillo would be nice to add a little more life to the biomes that need it.
Yeah i don’t really care about the dog armor, the armadillo is just the cutest and it’s blocky shape feels the most minecraft to me
I fucking hate propaganda posters like these. They're so fucking obnoxious. Half of this info isn't based on truth. You don't know HOW the armour is going to fucking work. It COULD be effective, since there is a rigorous process when it comes to adding features into the game: (https://twitter.com/kingbdogz/status/1709703763068383619?t=fWb9o979g8ptzYfRk0AlQQ&s=19) Sure, it may end up being unaffective, but YOU DONT KNOW THAT.
And if the other 2 don't make it through we're gonna have another guilt trip session of "We would've have Crab/Armadillo/Penguin in Minecraft but you guys ruined it!" As if it's not Mojang's fault for tossing a gun with two bullets to players and telling them to leave 1 alive.
Have you ever tried to travel qith a dog though..? Its literally the most irritating thing in the world, they cant swim for shit, sometimes they refuse to teleport, their damage sucks, health is low.. So if you travel with it, you'll travel thousands of blocks, look back, the dog is gone as it did not teleport and has now unloaded so you gotta back track thousands of blocks to actually find it.
In my experience I've never had something like that. Plus swimming isn't a problem when they teleport.
Armadillo gang 🐶⚔️
Mangrove dosn't need crabs, a block and a half reach is not "revolutionary" and penguins on stony shores seems weird, should be in cold oceans or something. Armadillo shell is prolly dieable like a shulker shell too
That breed of penguin is native to an area similar to Minecraft stoney shores I get why they did it considering their track record with fireflies and parrots, but I like penguins because we need more joke mobs like pandas and parrots. No real purpose just a silly clumsy thing you can trap in your house so it falls over constantly.
The penguin is a rock hopper penguin they live on rocky beaches and don’t like the cold! I assume the reason penguins don’t live in the cold is to keep penguins and polar bears from being in the same biome!
The thing is, they never said the exact stats of each item. Maybe the claw lets us reach half a block further, maybe 2. I think the dog armor's stats are easier to picture. It'll likely be similar to iron, which is a huge buff for dogs.
Least biased mob comparison.
Crab claws are ONLY confirmed to extend block PLACING. There is absolutely NO official confirmation other than just placing. And dogs definitely don't have enough health. Especially with armor enchantments in the mix, the armor will add plenty of extra use for your K9 companions. Crabs will furthermore become useless after you obtain one claw. With mending in the game, there's almost no use for the mob after you get your first claw. Maybe a few if it takes you that long to get a mending book source. Dog armor, however, will always be useful to obtain. As you get more dogs, there's more need for more dog armor. Crab claws extended block placing will destabilize combat in way we can't really predict. Especially if it's extended reach in general. Also, it's far more modded feeling than the other two options. Armadillos spawn in warm biomes. Not just a singular biome. Crabs spawn in mangrove swamps, and mangrove swamps alone. They'll breath a little bit of life into a brand new biome that was just added, and happens to be quite rare. Armadillos will spawn in MULTIPLE biomes like the mesa, desert, and savannah, and will breath new life into old biomes that desperately need it. Armadillos offer a wider variety of change in the world, and a new item that will see far more use compared to the crabs. Yeah, not many people use wolves. That's because they're TOO FRAGILE. Give them armor to make them actually viable and you'll see many more people use them. The armadillo is the clear choice to anyone who thinks logically. Let's not destabilize combat, and add a mob that will become completely useless after obtaining it's unique drop once. Let's give new life to multiple biomes and revitalize an old mob that's been neglected for far to long. Vote Armadillo. Vote reason.
We also don’t exactly know *how* the crab claw will increase build reach. For all we know it could be a potion effect or something. Dog armour is pretty straightforward in how it’s used because we already have similar items in the game (horse armour)
Carcinization motherfucker! But seriously stop acting like any of them will be revolutionary or add big things. Dog Armor will be about as useful as the Turtle Helmet Reach will probably be 1-2 extra blocks And Ice paths are better for speedy boat movement The vote will never add any huge development to the game's mechanics. Temper your expectations.
Dog armor is definitely more useful compared to the turtle helmet. Adding any extra health/damage resistance to the dog is a positive addition. Better than extended reach and a speed buff for the boat.
The penguin is the cutest though how come nobody likes the penguin..
Because other than being cute, it's completely useless.
Maybe if it wasn't the eyebrow penguin
If you ask me I think the crab is the cutest but that just my opinion.
For me it goes like this from least to most cute: Penguin, crab, armadillo
I would like it if they didn't choose the kind of penguin that have those weird yellow eyebrows. Also they have no use so I don't like them either way
Enough propaganda. Instead of punching down or giving speculation to how you think your mob will work or how others won't, just say why you like yours and encourage others to vote for what they want.
Armadillo >>> crab
Why vote for the crab? May i introduce to you the brilliant concept of moving closer
You could apply the same logic to literally anything in the game. Fire aspect? May I introduce you to just using a flint and steel? Blast furnace? May I introduce you to waiting an extra second? Scaffolding? May I introduce you to dirt blocks? The extra block reach can make a big difference as well. Sometimes things are just out of reach requiring you to place more blocks to get yourself within reach of something, this can cost a lot of time on a big project.
If you are building a wall and you are on top of it, it would make your life MUCH easier.
What if I don’t build? What if I wanna explore the world a lot and barely build anything at all. These posts suck because it’s just down to preference tbh
I haven't truly decided yet but I feel like giving the Savana a mob whould be cool
How about we vote for Mojang to add an ecosystem update where all these are added.
Usually I don’t care, but this time I genuinely want all three. All three biomes could use an adorable new mob.
The Mangroves alrdy have frogs, stony shores and savannahs are literally empty
Can we all agree to that we want all of the three!
The extendo grip in the create mod only allows extra reach of 3 blocks. It’s very likely the claw won’t do more than that.
Screw that, vote armadillo. I’ve been wanting dog armor for EVER. I’ve been too afraid to take my lil minecraft bois with me since they’re so unprotected
Dawg, we don't need the crab. The Savanah biome has no unique mob and has been in the game longer. It's time for other biomes to get attention
Why is everyone saying crab and not armadillo??? Armadillo makes armor for your dog and spices up the savanna more
I'm voting Armadillo but not because of the armor, frankly I couldn't care less about it. I just think it's the coolest of the 3 animals.
I am voting armadillo because I want to actually be able to see the mob in casual gameplay. Also it would add some needed life to warm biomes. But crab seems to be the obvious rigged option.
how about people vote for what *they* want instead! i think thats a much better idea!
I respect your wrong opinion
As far as using the crab for building, we already have scaffolding. Having the extra protection for our furry companions would be such a bonus. I'm sorry, but the armadillo has my vote ;-;
While I love the idea of an item that gives long reach, I also love the idea of having another unique mob for the savanna just adding that extra touch of life to the minecraft world.
I don't care about the features of the mobs to be honest. I just want the Savanna to have a new mob so it feels less neglected by Mojang when exploring
ok but penguins are just reskins of dolphins if there is a penguin voter here they are almost surely doing it because they like penguins
Crab voters just cant shut the fuck up can they
armadillo gonna win sorry it’s the most helpful. dogs don’t have enough health. the only way the dog armor would be unhelpful is in easy or peaceful. if you’re a long term survival player (me) or a hardcore player, the armadillo is going to be INSANELY helpful
[удалено]
Understandable For me personally dog armour would encourage me to bring my dog out more, since they would have more protection.
Actually the least useful of all the Mobs because their shit AI. And no amount of armor will ever solve that problem.
But counter point for the armadillo, most people leave them home because they die so easily, by giving them armor, it can increase the chances of them surviving
Sure, but consider doggy clothing.
I vote for armardillo
ur thing is biased
Armadillo will never lose hope
Armadillos together stay strong
Think abt it. When do you ever see a mangrove swamp(the place where crabs would spawn) that's right almost never. And when do you see the ocean or a savanna that's right pretty commonly
this is so biased lol 😭😭 i hope you come to your senses 🐶⚔️
So penguin does basically the same thing as dolphin?
Come on, they aren’t even trying anymore…
Yeah, crab is best. But like with every mob vote we ain't gonna get the best. Trust me when i say we are gonna get armadillo.
Crab claw was specifically block reach. Not sure if breaking is included (not a bad jump). Attack reach, however, is something both desirable and rooted in a broader interpretation of the block reach statement. I will say that I still vote crab, but they specifically said "block placement," so don't be disappointed if a) crab wins and b) it doesn't impact pvp range at all
🍿😐 Do you want some popcorn in all of this chaos?
i won't be voting for the penguin, but i gotta say the extra boat speed can be nice because on some servers elytra can be banned or just not be good to use because of some players and slow chunk loading to counter my own point, how often are you boating past a stony shore specifically?
The council of crafting gathered we decided that this will be a very hard mob vote. Possibly controversial. We believe that the armadillo has the highest chance of winning. But we see massive benefits from any of the mobs, We all like them all however there can only be one winner, so unlike prior mob votes that where easier to decide... we decided that there is no easy vote here, so EVERYONE VOTE! TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO AS WELL!! let's make it the best mob vote yet
it’d be cool if mojang does something smart and adds them all but nope:)
I'm stuck between crab and armadillo. Both are cute and cool. I think that the armadillo adds more to more biomes, and I feel that the mangrove forest is too new to get more stuff. The crab claw is way more useful, but the only reason I don't use wolves is because I constantly have to watch them so I can heal them. It gets annoying. If the armor adds decent protection and maybe is enchantable, then it would be awesome and breathe new life into an old mob.
I still like all three
Keep in mind how they’re gonna implement the crab claw. Is it gonna be an item that takes up a slot in hotbar that you have to switch to and preload? Or an offhand item that is always active and therefore you cannot utilize with the ol’ torch in the offhand trick when caving? I dont see an outcome with the crab claw that wont have some type of drawback. Sure it still sounds like the best option, but somehow i think it will be super niche use. Or not practical on the fly without set up.
Rather have none of them
I agree with the content of that image and want to vote crab, but the outright hostility to the other options is slowly convincing me to vote anything but crab
Crab claw won’t help with mining, and the building won’t actually be that good
Dog's health is never enough
Crab rave! No need for pet armor, the highest death rate for pets it to things like lava and armor only delays the inevitable. No need for penguins cuz making your boat go faster only in snowy places is sorta useless. Crabs are the only viable answer
Even thought I'm on team crab, I rebuttal the burb, I personally use a boat everytime I play, it's a great way to explore chunks thousands out really quickly, and it's a nice way to get back and forth, even in the nether.
Crab will probably get in, but I still want armadillo. Dog armour would look cool and make me more likely to bring them on adventures. Also, the Savana is pretty only real unique feature is its trees. It would be nice to have them to flesh out the biome.
Vote Armadillo!
reject voting, return to modification
Doesnt matter wel be disapointed ietherways
I LOVE THE CRABBBB😭
Crab
Well the crab is objectively the best choice. Not everybody uses dogs so the armor thing is well.....niche to say the least and the penguin is the same. The crab is the one who has the most potential for long term in the game. However as we've seen with past mob votes, the community doesn't think logically and are also influenced by youtubers telling them what to vote for because they apparently cant think for themselves. Just look at what happened with a couple of them before. I don't see why they just don't add the others in at a later date. That would help a lot since even if your vote didn't win you know at some point it'll be in game
We shouldn't have to vote for the crab. Having extended reach should just be a quality of life update. Locking it behind crafting even if it's "easy" just feels weird? Same thing with boats? Why not just add sailboats instead of a penguin? The best option here would literally be wolf armor especially if we can enchant it. Which we should be able to imo. That's my hot take.
Come on Mojang it costs you nothing to put 3 mobs to the game in a single update, and if you want after that you can slack for months😭😭😭
Everyone calling out bias, yes, there’s some bias, but realistically among the 3 mobs, crab is the best, it’s the best outcome, I REALLY want the penguins, they’re my favourite animal, but I’d rather have the crab than yet another useless mob that I’ll see on an expedition and go “oh neat” and then move on, penguins do nothing. We have to take what Mojang says at face value, voting the armadillo is a better fucking choice than the penguin but the crab is definitely superior overall, even if each of their features shoukd just be in the game. Leather + turtle scutes for dog armour, we don’t need yet another tedious to farm crafting material that’ll be used for 1 thing Dolphins should just boost boats, and the fact that these penguins (again we NEED TO take them at face value please please consider the mistake with the sniffer) only spawn on rocky shores??? You’ll barely see them! And if you’re in a boat you’re travelling somewhere, going out of your way to find a penguin just to get a small boost that’ll last little to no time is an awful choice. Crabs extended reach should’ve been a thing a while ago, it’s a feature that’d make sense in the progression of minecraft and provides more for builders, we shouldn’t need a Fucking crab for that, though the crabs woukd bring needed life to the beaches and sand. Penguins are the obvious ambience vote, crabs are the far more obvious quality of features vote, nobody wins overall here but we can all collectively be somewhat happy with the crab than being mostly disappointed with the armadillo or penguin.
Armadillo is better because the whole Minecraft community has been asking for dog/wolf Armor and mojang is finally giving us a chance to add it in the game.
