And I am voting for crab.
considering that the game is now owned by microsoft these votes just end up feeling kind of like a slap to the face, it's like holding a thousand dollars in your hands and asking whether someone wants a piece of gum or a bouncy ball.
They could've added all three options 10 times over and more with the effort required for holding the vote.
also: reminder that minecraft still doesn't have any sort of LOD, while at least 2 separate teams have managed to implement it just fine as mods.
This is a basic graphics feature that has been standard in games for ages now.
Also reminder that Minecraft's (java) rendering engine is so poorly written that a mod team of 2-3 devs can speed up the entire fucking game by DOUBLE just by writing basic optimizations.
It's obvious they've gradually shifted to cash extraction than actual game building after the Microsft acquisition, coupled with forced data collection via Microsoft accounts, it's turning into an ugly game tbh.
I feel like fan vote should be order release, not choose one - kill two. Especially since this year is all just normal animals that fit would fit in the world.
Exactly, they act as if implementing 3 mobs is some gargantuan task when a significant chunk of the work is already done by designing them.. And then they just go ahead and throw that work into the trash if it doesn't win the vote!
Gee i wonder why minecraft's development is so slow..
Ya, any time I bring this up in Minecraft communities, people really don’t like it. But the updates are so sparse that it feels insulting.
Random question in case I have free time, would it be legal to entirely reimpliment the Minecraft engine open source in a better programming language?
Then do something like opekjdk and just release alongside the official with QOL and performance improvements

you can completely legally extract the textures from your minecraft install and use a program to convert them to be used in minetest :)
It's just illegal to redistribute them.
There are also popular third party texture packs from minecraft that people have converted to be used in minetest, which are legal to redistribute so you can just download them and use as is :D
I like what I'm seeing, so it'd have to be in a decompiled super mario 64 type of way but could be possible!
Btw: even tho we already have the parrot could the crab also rave to the music as an easter egg?
fuck everything else
dog armor. Enough said.
Savannah biomes need extra love anyway
I'd love to see dogs become more useful. This is our chance. Plus the savanna is boring now. We need something to liven it up.
I'm torn between crab and armadillo, but I think I'll vote armadillo.
I don't think dog armor is really going to be that useful outside of just looking cool on your wolf. It probably won't save them from lava or make them actually that helpful in combat. Granted, dog drip is cool, but it's not like wolves are suddenly gonna become viable because of it.
In contrast, the crab claw is much more useful. From my experience playing modded MC, extra range is so so so nice for building. Even 2 blocks of extra range would probably be great.
But with all that being said, I'm thinking I'll still voting armadillo for a couple of reasons:

Wouldn't that come down to if and how much it's enchantable?
That crabs aren't already in Minecraft is a travesty that needs to be corrected immediately.
When the mob vote with the phantom happened, there was a mob that was meant to be able to disenchant your tools. Even though it didnt get added, the grindstone did, which did the same thing
If the crab doesnt win the vote, it is likely that there will be an item like the crab claw
This is something I always try to keep in mind. For example, the rascal had a chance of offering you an enchanted iron pickaxe, but since it didn't win they gave that functionality to the wandering trader.
This is a tough vote, all the options are decent! I'm mostly between crab and armadillo, leaning crab. The armadillo is way cuter though.
I think i am going for the crab

crab
the claw item sounds kinda powerful
crab is based
Dad-a-chum? Dum-a-chum? Ded-a-chek? Did-a-chick?
I’m honestly torn between Crab (seemingly the favorite to win, would make construction way more convenient without all the scaffolding) and Armadillo (as MC has long been lacking in the pet department; cats don’t do much besides repel creepers and protect you from phantoms, the equines and camels are just mounts, parrots don’t really do anything, and allays are painfully rare for how useful they are and more of manual labor than pets), and we never let our wolves help fight mobs and make them sit in our bases all the time, ever fearful of their job’s high mortality rate. But IMO they should just add all 3 because they all sound really useful (we won’t go wrong no matter which one wins, unlike with the sniffer, phantom and glow squid)- but that would take way too much effort for mojang to handle these days, as they’ve gotten so lazy they fail to deliver in a whole year what every other major ancient game that still updates regularly can do in 2 months; we had to wait A WHOLE YEAR for minor bug fixes, JE server performance being increased from 12 TPS to 13 TPS, a new tree and 2 new mobs. Or at least hold a “second-chance” mob vote for the runner-ups of previous ones.
And if the crab wins, they better make it rave to jukeboxes and give its claw enchants that increase its reach even more.
Penguin
My opinion: All are shit
Actually degenerate mob selection. How are these useful? Rather make the bats useful
Your telling me you can protect your dog from dangerous situations..... and you choose grabby grab?
I want crabs, but I also want dog armor. I say we compromise and use crab shells as dog armor.
I can't see the image you posted for whatever reason.
Jembora?
It's a gif of "aye, I could do that"
Connect actually
Pretty much every dog dies from lava that it falls into on its own. Armour isn't going to help with that.
Calling it "grabby grab" makes the feature seem worse than it is. Extra building range is extremely helpful and makes building easy more fun. I've played with the Create mod, and its extendo grip (which increases range by 4 blocks when in the offhand) is a game changer. But you wouldn't even need 4 blocks for it to be useful. Just 2 would be totally worth it, especially since there isn't really need to put other stuff in the offhand.
Meanwhile, dog armor sounds nice, but it won't make wolves viable. They aren't that strong in combat (often struggling to land a hit), can't be controlled beyond right-clicking to toggle sitting, & will die from lava, and armadillo armor (armordillo?) won't solve those issues. At the end of the day, wolves will still be a liability more than they are a help.
I feel like the need to move around slightly less not that important. It doesn't change anything about the game. Also nothing is said about how the claw does work that reach amount is theory
Crab
Ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you.
