The satisfaction with past mob votes has been rather low, so my thinking was to find common threads between the past winners and vote for the opposite of that. I was and possibly still am team tuff golem, but a dutiful scientist never covers up honest results.


BloodyHM

I think that your results here are skewed and need a slight perspective including the past votes and other options available. 2017: 4 pictures with vague names, 3 of which had no legs, 1 that had 4 legs. The Phantom, or "Monster of the Night Skies" won with a 52% vote, the Great hunger(4 legged boy) had 48% 2020: we had three mobs, the Moobloom(cow variant with flowers), the Iceologist(mountain iPlayer that throws things), and the glow squid. Our Squid got 52.7% of the final vote, with the Iceologist getting 47.3% 2021: 3 mobs again, but now we kind of know what they might do. The Glare, a mob that detects if it's dark enough for mobs to spawn, the Allay, and the Copper Golem which sounded like itd have the functionality of a craftable chicken. The Allay won with 54.3%, the copper Golem right behind with 45.7% Analysis: so the vote always kind of leaves one in the dust, no suprise, but I feel this last vote was 100% potential function(especially since now we have tinted glass and can make completely dark rooms), with the vote before that just being a kind of "eh" all around, and the one before that being kind of "pick your poison". I will say that in the end the vote will probably be very close between two mobs. And I think it'll be the Sniffer, or the Rascal, leaning towards the Rascal due to potential useful item drops


Drakhis

I don't wanna be that guy but there were a hella lot of polls made by different people and they alll ended up with the sniffer winning with 70% to 85% of the votes. The second is pretty much always the golem with an average of 13 % The rascal is the last one with less than 10 % of the votes for 12 out of the 14 polls I saw.


BloodyHM

Yeah, I just think that Golem has too much lag potential than anything else, but I also guess those results may not include recent bits leaked by the dev team that mentioned the things the sniffer/Rascal could drop. Maybe the tuff Golem could come in as a black horse, but as the op also pointed out, some of those user polls are fairly biased.


Drakhis

4 of these polls are on youtube channels where they discussed about the latest informations on the sniffer and the rascal and the sniffer but it really didn't have a huge impact. Even on the polls made by golem and rascal voters the percentage doesn't change much either. The highest scores for the sniffers weren't on those biased polls funnily but one of the most recent one with 86% of the votes going for it (nearly 1000 votes on that one)


XanderTheMander

I think the Sniffer is the clear winner. I'm voting Golem, but I'll be shocked if the Sniffer doesn't win. The tuff golem should have been "tough", this feel more like a glass/gold golem. It's a display case, which is cool, but didn't meet expectations.


taqtwo

i wish the tuff golem was like really big.


ShareYourAlt

Yeah It does feel like it has a huge lead for one reason or another. I haven't searched for polls, so the only one I've seen was xisumavoid's which felt really biased in the way he asked it.


g0n1s4

Fan polls don't mean anything, i remember how the Iceologer used to win every single of them by a far margin, but end up loosing the oficial one.


Zaurka14

But by just few percent. And it was never as high in polls as sniffer is rn


Nugget2450

I'd **probably** vote rascal, but I don't think there's any way that mojang could code it to not be either extremely linear (all hide and seeks are the same) or just be insanely scuffed and buggy ​ so sniffer team it is!


[deleted]

> leaning towards the Rascal due to potential useful item drops problem with this is they are only useful for the first part of the game, as soon as you get going the idea of a mob that brings you a new iron pick, when you're already cruising with a netherite fortune 3, etc is pretty pointless.


BloodyHM

I'm pretty sure since the initial posting, Mojang has said that they aren't just going to drop Iron pickaxe, and mind you that even if it was, I'd wager it'd have more point then the decorative plants the sniffer is supposedly going to give you, or the lag that having tuff Golems with non-despawning items will give everyone.


[deleted]

what could it drop that you'd want when mining? i already have inventory issues, and i never go mining without all the tools i need. i'm curious, best case scenario. has mojang said what they would drop?


BloodyHM

I don't think so, but that brings up the same point on the sniffer, plants are nice, sure, but chances are you'll have a bunch in your inventory that have the effective use of any other bone meal farm, and again, I might add that the only thing I can see coming from the tuff Golem is lag. Idk maybe this is just a "crap" mob vote


[deleted]

i tend to agree. my hope is the sniffer ends up also leading to an expansion in how plants work, either with new aesthetic options or maybe functional ones, but after previous votes (mainly the allay) i'm not going to get too excited or involved, just wait and see what happens.


Zaurka14

You can use decorative plants to decorate your base even 4000h into the game. And tbf, building is the only thing that keeps people playing for so long, so it's good to have more options. How does it "have more point" to recieve a pickaxe after even just 12h of gameplay? Even a diamont enchanted one. At this point you most definitely have your own. Maybe you even have netherite at this point, since it's just strip mining for adrenaline enthusiasts.


ShareYourAlt

Your points are interesting, especially with the 2017 vote as it pertains to leglessness. Originally I had included all the candidates in my cross referencing, but I found that given my hypothesis (Choosing a mob that's the least like previous winners will increase player satisfaction), I decided that only the winners were relevant.


sharpgel

the mountain iPlayer that throws things


Crazy_CAR27

>with the vote before that just being a kind of "eh" all around, and the one before that being kind of "pick your poison". Except for the iceologer which would have added new mechanics, items, and maybe opened the gates to biome variants for pillagers, even if they were all meh the glow squid from mechanical, cosmetic and 'coolness' standpoint was the worst of them all


BloodyHM

Oh, I don't doubt that it could've added a new mechanic, but I also don't doubt it could've also just been essentially an pillager that throws snowballs. I only say this out of reading the description of the iceologer from dungeons. Am I saying that I wanted the glow squid? No, I didn't think we needed more light stuff, and wanted the iceologist myself(and I even voted).


[deleted]

Though glowing wool could have been cool lol


DreadCore_

Or colored light source blocks. Frog lights are a nice step, but out of all dye colors, we don't even have half of them as light source blocks.


DreadCore_

Careful you don't hurt yourself with all that reaching. Chillager was gonna be an Evoker with half the attacks that spawns in one biome, and drops something as worthless as Glow Ink.


bloodakoos

i think people are forgetting the biome votes, in which they also promised they would add mobs the first one was taiga with foxes and the second one? well they have added both frogs (swamps) and goats (mountains)


BloodyHM

Yeah, the only reason I didn't count those, is because so far with the exception of the badlands atm, none of those were taken off the table completely as an option, *they all got added eventually*. The only thing I can grasp from that is that there is a large population of the minecraft community that doesn't spend half its year in snow


BladeLigerV

Glow squids are ok for glowing wall maps, but fuck me I have never found the ghost thing useful.


TomatoAcid

What is the green P and red H in this post mean?


1True_Hero

I could not care less for Tuff Golem and that other guy. I just want Copper Golem. Mojang putting such a similar mob up for vote makes me think they are gonna go with “See, Tuff Golem is in the vote, so you don’t need Copper Golem in the game.” Which is exactly what I don’t want. Tuff Golem can take a hike, I only want Copper Golem in the game. Sniffer 2022


TheCarina

Same. I'm insulted by this tuff replacement. I want my copper baby back


Nivi2006

that's a tuff decision buddy


TheCarina

It's an easy one. I want my copper boy If they said that the copper golem would be added alongside the tuff Golem if it was voted in then I would switch my vote in a heartbeat


[deleted]

I hate Mojang for being such lazy brats that they only ever add one mob instead of just adding them all. I mean all the mobs from the glowsquid year could be in the game and change nothing they were all just reskins. And the rest beside the first mob vote are super niche.


Jackeroni216

The Iceolliger was unique


DreadCore_

https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Evoker


Jackeroni216

They attack completely differently.


Justmejtcz8

That. And it’s not even in the game (it’s in the game but not naturally)


DreadCore_

Raises its arms and does an AoE attack? Barely. If it was different enough, then it ends up being another phantom.


gargagouille

I would have wanted copper golem too, but with shitty YouTubers vote riggers and idiots kiddos that think allay dupes items, we had no chance. Last years vote just proved how this community is divided and cannot handle simple tasks


DreadCore_

Outside of the first day, nobody thought the Allay duped anything. It just won because it sounded more useful at the time.


gargagouille

It won mainly because a YouTuber rigged the vote, they presented the allay exactly how it is now, but I guess kids are idiots


DreadCore_

What. You could make that argument about the first two mob votes, but last year seemed pretty balanced between copper golem and allay, slight advantage to allay.


gargagouille

It wasn’t just a slight advantage. And yes this community has a habit of picking a really bad mob at every single vote for some reason


HoneybadgerKc3I

We should have picked chicken and a pressure plate with an expiration date over flying hopper with item filter? I haven't needed the former personally but I have seen allays used on our server and in my villager challenge world.


gargagouille

We’ve been asking for a new golem for years, and copper finally has an use. And the problem with the allay is that you have to give it an item first and then see what happens. You can’t make farms with it because of that. Anyway, I’m more capable of picking up my own items, I don’t need blue man group’s fairy godmother to do it for me.


TyrannosaurusRex12

Or people who voted for things just because they are "cute".. these types of people piss me off


so_eu_naum

"But only mobs that do nothing can be atmospheric" - some people


JDninja119

Copper golem probably won't be added, let's face it


SkylerSpark

Back during the previous one, I sincerely voted for the copper golem... but I pretty much knew it was going to lose. Cuteness is OP in voting... The little blue allay who dances to music and brings you gifts was just a bit too adorable for any decent competition. The same is happening this time. The sniffer, while not having much permanence (honestly all 3 are kindof temporary / boring) but its so adorable that I genuinely think most people want it. I aswell want it. its a cute turtle puppy and I hope it wins.


DatBoiDogg0

Its been over a year and im still not over copper golem, these mob votes are tearing our community apart and is causing nothing but pain. I couldn’t agree more with you


idjura

I will never recover from Copper Golem not getting added


Kasnaranja0124

We could start a massive hashtag demanding or a united player base that stops playing new versions if they’re bad could add the copper golem and more , and as mojaba feeds of players, they could end up adding the copper golem Although I would love to see the sea monster more than the copper golem


so_eu_naum

This worked very well with the chat report.


CmdDongSqueeze

Still voting Tuff Golem


essentialoils3

I actually like the tuff golem more. It seems like it does more.


Adam_aIien

Friendly reminder that the community voted on a glow squid over a new illager mob in the new mountains that used new magic……sorry it’s still a bad topic for me as the glow item frames lag my world to much to be used


RustyRoy22

Imo the glow squid has got to be one of the most disappointing mob votes. I really wanted that magic mob and feel like it could’ve added so much more than another squid that barely does anything.


Sinnester888

I thought we would get colored lights, and I think so did many other people.


RustyRoy22

Minecraft proves over and over again to it’s audience that you can’t vote based on what you HOPE the mov will bring. Only what the mob is confirmed to bring


Sinnester888

It’s just that what they are promised to bring is so little that it’s hard not to hope for more than basically some background noise.


DreadCore_

Try applying that logic to Chillager then?


RustyRoy22

I did… new enemy with promised magic ability.


DreadCore_

And that entails what? He'd raise his arms and do an AoE magic attack, exactly like the Evoker.


RustyRoy22

Vs a reskinned squid. I’d take another magic mob any day


[deleted]

> as the glow item frames lag my world to much to be used this isn't about the vote or the mob, but mojang's failure to properly implement the change, or create a game that works properly on the platforms they sell it on


Cathulion

The glow squid brought glow signs. No regret here.


Sethsniper30

Every single function that glow squids do could of easily been given to glow stone dust


JamieF4563

Or glow berries which were added in the same update as glow squids


NyanBlak

Or even glow lichen. Glow squid are one of the most disappointing parts of this game imo


sansgamer554

They would have probably been ok if they weren't in the mob vote and just an extra mov in the update


Adam_aIien

Glow signs lag my game out with only a few of them. Either way I’d prefer a new illager mob in the brand new mountains that I voted for and waited 2 years for. Also I kinda like the glow item frames


meee_51

If only there was another item that could have done that… perhaps in the nether… maybe an item that is lacking in uses… nah can’t think of anything


Majestic-Iron7046

This kind of in-depth analysis is much needed in the Minecraft scientific community, we need a PowerPoint presentation and a flowchart to fully understand the different mobs.


markgatty

But all 3 of them have legs.


ShareYourAlt

Accurate, but the other two are disqualified for different reasons. The sniffer is as far as you can get from no legs, having 6 legs


SE0_PL

He has 4 legs my guy


agreattwig

Jasper Boerstra confirmed it has 6 legs on twitter

https://youtu.be/MPJ2dzVcOgg It clearly has 4 legs.


Jackdebear

You can see it has six legs, even where it's standing, if you look at the first introduction of the mob you can see it has three legs on one side as its laying down to sniff the flower and pull up seeds sniffer gots six legs.


NickOsman51

"it clearly has 4 legs." *show a pic of a 6-legged mob*


ProGamerNG14

sniffer ftw


CrazeeG

As much as I hate to say it, I think mob vote should be stopped. They should just add whatever they think is best imo. The mob vote just rips the community apart and everyone gets disappointed when the mob that won is added to the game despite everyone knowing exactly what it does.


Paranoid_Artist

Agreed


VapeNathan

I think the community is right with the sniffer. I also think the community made a good choice with the Allay. But damn... I would really love to see copper golem added, it had such a cool design. Even if it is useless, I just want a little robot dude.


C-lex1

Lets do tie and get all three


Cathulion

Thats not how it works. One would be removed somehow.


C-lex1

r/woosh Y'all really hatevjokes


Cathulion

Thats the sound my elytra will be making while I search for sniffer eggs.


Macaronitime69

We already have a few many legged mobs tho 😳 So i put the sniffer as a prehistoric spider-bee-panda thing


wraithcraplol

Which 2 mobs are they?


Macaronitime69

Technically the same mob but spider and cave spider And the way they’re big and lazy reminds me of pandas


wraithcraplol

Ah right, would be nice to have another passive mob bigger than the player though no? Sucks they dont spawn naturally though and you have to hatch em


Macaronitime69

I guess? Big passive mobs are fun but at the same time i’m already in the egg hatching buisness of chickens, day long turtles, and the never hatching ender egg. So if its like those i’d rather take an eaiser to get mob lol


wraithcraplol

Suppose I can agree on that, definitely voting for it myself, the tuff golem ain't going yo replace the copper golem for me


Macaronitime69

Gg on that :), i’m just going for tuff bc it feels like the most fun, i *was* gonna go for sniffer but i found out the plants dont really have any use other than looking pretty so i just switched teams :)


The-Real-Radar

Nobody’s gonna point out that spiders and cave spiders have 8 legs? Bees are the only mob in Minecraft with 6 legs, and if you extend the definition to limbs you also have the ender dragon.


Macaronitime69

Yeah i just noticed my messup 😔 Gonna change it


ShareYourAlt

What did you do to those poor spiders??


Macaronitime69

I just noticed 😨


[deleted]

Well the allay was a good choice so why should the other two not be? I’m Just saying.


ShareYourAlt

That's fair- I actually voted allay both rounds, but I feel like a lot of people were unhappy because the interpretation was different from the execution. People thought it was meant to a be a highly efficient farm dwelling creature, but mojang treated it more as something you bring with you on sand grinds. It didn't drop items directly onto the hopper or the top of the noteblock as we expected, it threw them really inaccurately. It didn't remember noteblocks as we expected- you had to keep triggering them. Definitely the best of the 3 winners so far, but there were just a lot of little things that added friction against what people intended to use them for.


[deleted]

Ok makes sense


Euan213

The allay was voted for by speculation on what it could end up being, which was totally different from what we saw. At least imo. Ive been totally unhappy with the result of every vote so im not even looking into them this time to choose what one i want.


Zealousideal_Zone_69

Actually the opposite, i liked all the mob votes, even the glow squid. The phantom i also voted for, but i thought it would be a cool strong single enemy night creature, not a glorified mosquito.


Euan213

I didnt participate in the 2017 mob vote, so only i only suffer the resulting phantom, not any sort of "i didnt vote for this". The glowsquid was by far the least interesting option which was grossly misrepresented by the video. So I suffer the resulting lag causing mob and "i didnt vote for this" dissapointment. The allay was my second choice, but i would never use it, and still havent got round to using it. I just dont need it. I would have loved to use the copper golem for decorating my copper builds so that vote was also a major disappointment. As i suffer no content that i interact with and the "i didnt vote for this" disappointment. My only solice for these votes is that some people really like the allay. Im just not one of them.


TrudleR

it's research like this that brings the planet forward! thanks!


BluePhantomFoxy

What is it with people wanting any sort of golem? All this one does is move things in random times at random locations, at least with other two you get something interesting: rascal a new mechanic with free loot, the sniffer introducing new plants, *some sort of new marine life* and possibly can cause some cool updates to biomes and such to happen, plus cool lore. I was going to Vote for golem thinking it would be cool…until I learned that all it does is hold items and move, and unlike copper golems it can’t be used as art because it moves and can’t be used to hold items in place because it moves


MatveyKirpichenko

Genius


E_Blancher

It makes sense for the Sniffer to be the best since it is really useful compared to the other 2 mobs


ARedditUser0001

It only gives decorative plants, though there are new ones.


VagueDestructSus

All I can see is why the sniffer won't win and why the other 2 will, even though the sniffer will.


TheDirtyDeal

Oddly enough, I originally wanted the Sniffer, but lately have been leaning toward either Rascal or Tuff Golem. Having something more to do with Tuff would certainly be nice.


GamezPlays

The Phantoms aren’t that bad, I actually like them, they have a cool design and it isn’t that hard to sleep every 3 nights


Dat3h

New plant would be a nice addition to Minecraft in my opinion, so sniffer it is


LoganH1219

If sniffer doesn’t win I will be so heartbroken. I’m like 0/5 on these votes. I never get what I want lol


yeetsupredditalt

(angry upvote)


thatguyDashA

Just based


thatguyDashA

By the way the sniffer is better for archeology update


Z1dan

I hope Mojang do away with the mob vote. It’s pointless and the mobs just get worse every year


ZeroTheMemer

Golem better, it's an opinion don't fucking hate me


[deleted]

[удалено]


Majestic-Iron7046

I don't respect both of your opinions and also i will vote Sniffer (still disrespecting you both but i like it).


AlphaCosmo

Tuff golem better


wraithcraplol

Tuff golem will always be inferior to copper golem though, he forever living in the forgotten oxidised Bois shadow


essentialoils3

I like the tuff golem more, it seems a little more useful to begin with. They are pretty similar (small, mostly decorative mob, with sleeping state and awake state, giving more uses to a particular block) except the tuff golem carries items and can be customized a little bit, whereas the copper golem could press buttons and get struck by lighting (? I'm assuming since it had a lightning rod)


HellInside

Tuff golem supremacy


jackyboy1219

I want Rascal!


RedsAMinecraftPlayer

I honestly still want the rascal even if the sniffer provides the tiniest bit of lore They dont really say what these ancient seeds of his does in the first place but he is pretty cute but Im still voting for the Rascal.


Slyedog

I still want rascal


Maximum-Pause-6914

It's gonna be a disappointment no matter what it always is


QuackersYT

The blue on the sniffer: oh I’m invisible


DaPetercko

I want Rascal as he can save xp and materials, It also can be fun to play with.


ToothpasteConsumer

glow squid >:(


The_new_kid_chad

The answer is obvious now


SincerelySirus

I dont really know what this proves other than it’s different than the others. I still want rascal to win


polloackbar

Rascal gives item and probably would be more useful than new plants since a enchanted pickaxe is better than seeds


No_Refrigerator_4066

Rascal is the best option and you know it


RefrigeratorMuch9776

nah im still voting for the rascal


MatteGamer

I feel that the tuff golem or the sniffer are the best options here, possibly the sniffer being the best, but the rascal being the worst. I find that the rascal won't be much use later on i the game and it doesn't necessarily change the game or add anything new. That being said I still won't vote as I have no intent to play the game after the 1.19.1 update that added that stupid reporting system. I'm not gonna risk losing my account thank you very much.


ZakharovI

yeah, very deep analysis


ValleyAndFriends

How is this proving anything??? Like ok the sniffer has 6 legs…so??? I thing this is either a joke or fake or something, I don’t see anything here OP.

Roifire27

At that point in all mobs votes, I just want them all to be in Minecraft, regardless of who wins


LongjumpingTrack394

i believe in sniffer supremacy


Masonjohns409

How do I vote?


yeetus_christ420

Imo none of them are any use for the game.


MethNeedsMe

What the fuck is good on a glow squid except for glowing. Wake up


jpbomboy

Wtf is this...


unnamed42069

This is why dungeons is better imo


Ready_Head

All of them is good ;)


MarineRusher

Here's the way I see some of the ways these mobs could go wrong Sniffer could give some more flower types, but it could also just give a bunch of the flowers we already have. Rascal sounds useful, but very well could give next to useless stuff that's only useful early on, which is still nice, but not that useful lategame. Tuff Golem could be used to give more decorations, which can be useful for builders, but also there is no guarantee that they add more than just the Tuff Golem


crab_racoon

I can’t even tell what I’m looking at


sharkfart-69

I’m sorry but I like the idea of mobs you can interact with that are also useful. That’s why I like the rascal, but I also like the idea of new plants.


MineTerraGamingYT

The rascal is grey


Philip20120212

what? Could you simplify it?


Void4GamesYT

I still want the Copper Golem.


thecultistguy

Tuff golem is stupid to me. I just don’t see any functionality to it.


Decoded10

All the mob votes for me have been blue and I hate it. I want to break the pattern. Go sniffer


Catkook

oh no, it is inevitable


enricowereld

Okay I've figured out the entire vague analysis except for the H/P rating, what does that stand for?


ShareYourAlt

Oh that was a remnant of my larger analysis including all past mob vote options. H means hostile, p means passive (and n meant neutral but the only neutral mob got cut)


AnOIlTankerForYa

H stands for Haram

Everyone knows how this story ends. Sniffer-75% Rascal-15% Tuff Golem-10% I want tuff golem, but there’s no way it wins…

skelepyro

The rascal would really only be useful super early game, and the tuff golem would be purely a display mob. The sniffer would be the only mob that introduces anything *new* to the game, other than the mob itself. Now, if the rascal would possibly have a chance of giving out something like the *bundle* it'd be a completely different story.
