Mojang has set the date for the next Mob Vote for Minecraft.

The Mob Vote is a yearly event where players vote on the next new mob that will be added to the game, with the winner of 2021’s vote being the Allay.  At the time of this writing, the specific mobs for this year’s vote have not been revealed, but the announcement video includes hints such as “laying eggs in underwater ruins”,  “spying on players in the mines”, “moving hats around”. There are also some changes to the voting process that have been detailed below:

Last year, the community voted for the allay to join Minecraft. This year, you will get to vote for a new mob but we’re doing things a little bit differently. Instead of voting on Twitter, you will now be able to vote in a special Bedrock server, the Minecraft launcher, or here on Minecraft.net! The polls open on October 14, noon EDT which means that you will have a full 24 hours to cast your vote, (and change it as many times as you like!) while also keeping the results a total surprise until the announcement is made during the show.

You will find all the information you need leading up to the event on Minecraft.net/live, so stay tuned!

We will be sure to report back with more as it comes.
