Mojang is actively developing Minecraft, its flagship product, and one of the most popular games in the world. The developers are working on several possible new NPCs to further enrich the game world. The interesting thing is that the players themselves will choose which of the mobs will get to the official release.
The decision will be made using a vote on the game’s official Twitter account during the Minecraft Live online conference on October 3. Mojang has introduced three new creatures:
- Mobloom – a mob that looks like a cross between a cow and a bee – a yellow cow with bee wings behind her back, which can contact insects. Of course, the appearance of the mob immediately tells us that Mobloom won’t be aggressive to the player.
- Iceologer – this creature coming from Minecraft Dungeons is a hostile mob that, when seen by a player, will release ice clouds in his direction. Iceologer’s possible habitat is a mountain biome, which will complicate its already difficult passage.
- Glow Squid – a neutral mob that first appeared in Minecraft Earth. It doesn’t attack the player until it is touched, and it basically differs from his usual relative only by having luminescence in dark reservoirs, which is where he dwells. Adding this mob to a game will make underwater walks more atmospheric.
This is the third vote by Mojang that allows fans to choose something new in the game: a year ago, a new biome appeared in Minecraft this way, and even earlier – the Phantom mob in 2017 has been chosen by the players. The company plans to release three videos about “candidates” throughout the week to help players make their choice.
