Minecraft Mob Vote 2023 polls open tomorrow

Minecraft's yearly Mob Vote is rapidly approaching, with the polls opening to players around the world on October 13, 2023. Said polls will remain open until October 15, shortly before the Live 2023 presentation by Microsoft and Mojang begins. Fans can use multiple methods during the voting timeframe to select one of three mobs to be introduced in the upcoming 1.21 update.

This year's Mob Vote contestants include the crab, the armadillo, and the penguin—all three of which provide benefits to players in some form or fashion. Although these entities are quite different in their mannerisms and home biomes, only one will be announced as the winner during Minecraft Live 2023.

• Logging into Minecraft.net with your account and navigating to the Mob Vote page.
• Placing your vote directly within the game's official launcher.
