As this year's Minecraft Live comes closer each day, I decide to inform you all here about the Mob Vote and its candidates, as there could be some information that a number of people might not know about, and to avoid potential misleading speculations.

This year's Mob Vote is going to be different. First and foremost, you'll no longer need a Twitter account in order to cast your vote. The vote will instead be in their own platform, from either in the launcher, Minecraft.net, or their special map for Bedrock Edition. The vote will also remain anonymous until the hosts reveal the Winner during Minecraft Live. Another difference is that the vote will be open for 24 hours, starting at October 14th, 12PM EDT, and will close when Minecraft Live starts, October 15th, at the same hour. You can only cast one vote, but you can change your mind anytime during the 24 hours. If you need to figure out the time in your local time zone, use this link.

Here below is a quick list of everything that we currently know about each of these mobs and their features. This can help you further support your vote, or it can change your mind on who you choose. Or not. It's your choice.

• Long lost mob that once roamed the Overworld.
• Their eggs are found in underwater ruins.
• Will hatch once brought to the surface.
• Can find ancient seeds that can be grown into unique plants.
• These unique plants are decorative.

• Not hostile. It just loves to play hide-and-seek.
• Will give hints as to where to find it.
• Can be found below Y=0.
• Find it three times and it will give you an prize to help your mining.
• Items shown are only an example. Exact details will be figured out as part of the implementation process.

• Can hold and display any item you give it.
• Will be a mob that you can build.
• If you include a wool block in its construction, it will wear a matching cloak.
• Once awake, it will stroll around at random, picking up a dropped item if it's not holding one already.
• Will return to the same spot it's been placed when it turns back into a statue.

That basically covers up all you need to know about this year's mob vote and their candidates. If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments below. I will be answering them whenever I can.
