I think it’s a great concept but they really should have added some old mob candidates by now. 1.21 is the PERFECT update to add the copper and tuff golem, and I think 1.20 could have fitted the moobloom in somehow.
I agree with everything said and would add that it feels like we are losing more than we are gaining (especially if the mob you like the most doesn’t win like it hapoend to me almost every time). When it comes to fixing the vote I have 2 ideas:
Vote is held every 3 updates, every mob is added and order they are added is based on the votes. This way everyone will get what they want at some point, developers will have enough time for every mob and not detailed descriptions of mobs won’t be that big of a problem.
All mobs are added in the same update but because of that time between two updates is increased. In this case add the mobs to snapshots in order based on votes. I’d rather wait a bit more for new update than have features I want erased. This is better than 1st option in my oppinion because Mojang will get comunity engagement every year like it is now and mobs would be added faster.
I think adults underestimate just how many kids play Minecraft, how much they like the pets and how excited they were about dog armor. So it's not surprising that the armadillo won and I don't think it's worth getting upset about. That's just how voting works, someone wins and someone loses. I was just glad that I was finally able to vote at all starting last year, since before that you had to have a Twitter account to vote which left so many people out.
I do agree that we aren't given enough information about each one to make a proper decision on which to vote for, but that also gives them flexibility on how it gets implemented, allowing user feedback to have an influence.
If twitter accounts were still required to vote, Crab would’ve had better chances of winning. It would’ve filtered a lot of young players and crab claw seemed like the better choice for experienced players.
This year I decided to let my 8 yrs old nephew decide for both of us and as you said he picked the dog armor without hesitation.
The slightly irritating thing is that dog armour won’t actually do anything because pretty much every dog that dies does so because it walks into an arrow I’m firing, or it falls into lava or falls off a cliff. It’s very very rarely due to combat action.
