The idea of mob votes acting as a way for Mojang to include the player in the game's development seems like a good idea on paper, but as time went on, it became quite problematic. Different players want different things, and in most mob votes, one entry can lose to another and still have over 30% of the vote share.
This means that a large percentage of the player base would feel alienated, and this has led to fans clamoring for Mojang to add all the mobs that lost to Minecraft. While the developers have added some of them in spin-offs, it's not the same as adding them to the main game. Before we get onto the list, let me get one honorable mention out.
Honorable Mention
Tuff golem
Trending
The tuff golem was a decorative and interactive mob that could hold and display items. It was a perfect companion for builders, adding a touch of personality to displays and builds. Despite its charm, it was overshadowed by the sniffer and the rascal during its mob vote. It might not have a lot of functional use, but it is always nice to have a new golem.
Best mobs that lost the mob vote
6) Iceologer
The iceologer was a hostile mob proposed for snowy biomes. It could summon falling blocks of ice, making it a formidable foe, and would have brought more diversity to the often-overlooked cold biomes. Despite its popularity, it was defeated by the glow squid, much to the dismay of players hoping for a challenging new enemy.
If the iceologer were to be added today, it would have the potential to spice up cold regions by introducing a new danger to snow biomes.
5) Rascal
The rascal, a mischievous creature from the depths of Minecraft’s caves, offered a mini-game-like experience. Upon finding it three times, players would be rewarded with valuable items, making spelunking even more exciting. However, it lost to the sniffer, and players had to miss out on this playful addition.
If the rascal were added, it could have made cave exploration more dynamic and fun, offering rewards for players who enjoy a little extra challenge underground.
4) Penguin
The penguin was an adorable concept that aimed to enhance ocean gameplay. It would have improved boat travel by granting a speed boost if nearby, offering a practical and fun reason to encounter these cute creatures. Despite its utility and charm, the penguin lost out to the armadillo.
If introduced, penguins could have improved the aquatic environment and added a companion that can join you in Minecraft's oceans.
3) Copper golem
The copper golem was a small, interactive mob that promised to bring life and utility to redstone builds. It could press copper buttons randomly, adding an element of unpredictability to contraptions and creating new opportunities for creative designs.
Over time, the golem would oxidize, similar to copper blocks, adding a touch of Minecraft’s iconic realism. Despite its potential, it lost to the allay, leaving builders and redstone enthusiasts longing for its inclusion.
A copper golem could have added more depth to redstone mechanics, offering new possibilities for automated systems and perhaps creating more intricate, unpredictable contraptions.
2) The hovering inferno (Wild Fire)
The hovering inferno was proposed during the 2017 vote. A more menacing version of the blaze, it featured a shield that protected it and promised to spice up Nether adventures. Its potential as a high-risk, high-reward enemy made it an instant favorite for many players who love challenging gameplay.
Sadly, it lost to the phantom, leaving fans wishing for a fiery mob to dominate the Nether. It did get introduced to Minecraft Dungeons, but it would be exciting to see it added to the main game.
The hovering inferno could have provided an engaging encounter for players exploring the Nether, adding danger and excitement to an already hostile dimension.
1) Crab
The crab promised to be a builder’s best friend. With its long reach, it would have made placing blocks in hard-to-reach spots much easier. This would have made building less tedious and players would have been able to collect materials way more easily.
Its utility made it a fan favorite, but it too was defeated by the armadillo. The crab could have brought a practical advantage for builders, especially those tackling large-scale projects.
While these mobs did lose the mob votes, many still hope that Mojang will add them to the main game later on.
