After years of Minecraft<\/em> players having to vote for the next addition to the game, Mojang Studios is finally retiring the mob vote. Yes, you heard that right. The mob vote is no more.<\/p>
In a blog post<\/a> titled “The future of Minecraft’s development” on Sept. 9, the developer shared plans for Minecraft<\/a><\/em>, starting with getting rid of the mob vote and changing the format for Minecraft Live. Minecraft Live is now a more “focused broadcast” and will happen twice a year. “Each show will be packed with everything you need to know about the latest features we’re working on, what’s coming into testing, and the newest news from across the Minecraft <\/em>franchise.”<\/p>
The mob vote has been a part of Minecraft<\/em> since 2017, but many players didn’t like that only one of the three potential new additions makes its way into the game. The community even started a #StopTheMobVote petition<\/a> stating there should be no issue for Mojang to add all three mobs to the game as it divides the community, and the game barely receives new content anyway.<\/p>
Mojang promises more regular content drops with the mob vote gone and players yearning for more content. Instead of one update during the summer, Minecraft<\/em> will get multiple content drops throughout the year, as it did with the Armored Paws update earlier this year ahead of the Tricky Trials<\/a> update release. This comes alongside “long-term initiatives,” like bringing the native <\/a>Minecraft<\/a><\/em> version to PS5<\/a>.<\/p>
