Minecraft Live 2023 - minecraft.fandom.com

Minecraft Live 2023 was a live event that was held on October 15, 2023, at 17:00 UTC. It features a mob vote,^[1] as well as revealing new features of the 1.21 update.

Announcement[]

The event was announced in a video released by Mojang Studios on September 13, 2023, on their official YouTube channel.

Mob Vote[]

The 2023 Mob Vote was an event that began on October 13th, 2023, at 17:00 UTC. Players could vote for either one of the three mobs mentioned below, with the highest voted one forecasted to be added to the 1.21 update. ^[2]

As with MINECON Earth 2017 and Minecraft Live 2020, 2021 and 2022, Players with a Microsoft account were able to vote for one of the three mobs announced in the many videos uploaded to the official Minecraft YouTube channel in the days preluding the mob vote.

Players could access, and as such, vote for a mob in three different ways: a server on Bedrock Edition, via the Minecraft launcher, or on Minecraft.net.^[1] Players couldn't vote multiple times on the different ways of voting, as one Microsoft account could only be linked to one vote. If a player voted using Minecraft.net, they had to verify that they were a human. People who voted through the Bedrock Edition server also received the cherry cape.

Mobs[]

• Crabs - Spawns in Mangrove Swamps, and drops a Crab Claw, which increases the player's building distance by 1 block.
• Armadillo - Spawns in warm biomes and curls into a ball for protection. Drops an Armadillo Scute, which can be used to craft protective armor for tamed wolves.
• Penguins - Spawns on Stony Shores. Slow on land but fast in water, while also speeding up nearby Boats.

Results[]

1st Place: Armadillo

2nd Place: Crab

3rd and Last Place: Penguin

Trial Chambers[]

The trial chambers is an underground structure mainly constructed from copper variant blocks and tuff blocks. As showcased in the Minecraft Live, this structure consists of a main corridor that splits into multiple rooms and supply chests. The corridor has up to three levels, which are accessed via ladders. Copper grates, copper doors, cut copper stairs and copper bulbs are usually found in this structure.

Copper Bulb[]

The copper bulb is a new copper variant decorative block that can be activated by redstone. Like all copper variant blocks, copper bulbs oxidize over time, and when it oxidizes, the light it emits gets dimmer. They can be deoxidized with an axe.

Trial Spawner[]

The trial spawner is an unbreakable cage-like spawner block that generates in the trial chambers. It spawns a limited amount of mobs based on how many players. Once the mobs spawned from the trial spawner are defeated, the block dispenses valuable loot (like emeralds and diamonds shown in the Minecraft Live) and remains inactive for 30 in-game minutes.

Breeze[]

The breeze is a planned hostile mob that was announced at the Minecraft Live [1]. It spawns in the trial chambers and shoots wind-like projectiles that activate Redstone components and launch players in the air.

Crafter[]

The crafter is a redstone component block that autocrafts items similar to a crafting table, but when activated by redstone.

Trivia[]

• This is the last Minecraft Livestream event to hold a final Mob Vote.
  • A change.org petition to add all 3 options received over 400,000 signatures prior to the vote.^[3] This pushed Mojang to retire the Mob Vote in September 9, 2024.
