Minecraft Gameplay Designer answers fans' questions about Mob Vote 2021

One big reason for Minecraft's immense success is its interaction with the community. When Notch was creating the game, he took many recommendations and suggestions from players on social media.

The developers continue to hear from the community. At the Minecraft Live event, players determine which mob should be added next or which biome needs an update. This year's event will unveil the 1.19 update and feature a mob vote.

Minecraft Live 2021 will be streamed this Saturday, October 16, and Mojang has announced all three candidates for the Mob Vote 2021.

Interestingly, Gameplay Designer Ulraf went to Reddit to answer questions about this upcoming vote.
