Last year's mob vote received the most criticism by far, which let players vote between a penguin, craꦚb, and armadillo, with the latter coming out on top as the Scutes it drops upon death allowed players to craft Wolf Armor. These mob votes are usually seen as Mojang pitting the community against each other, and the end result is usually disappointment as the losing two mobs are sent to the trash pile forever.

Minecraft fans have wanღ💦ted the mob vote to be scrapped entirely for a while, and Mojang now appears to have listened. , Mojang has announced a raft of changes to how future content will be added to the game, including the reveal that the mob vote is finally being retired. Mojang doesn't explain why it decided to do this after seven years, but it's good news for those who wanted it gone.

Minecraft Will Be Getting Smaller, But More Frequent Updates

In the same post, Mojang outlines how future updates will work going forward, explaining that it's changing its "feature development rhythm" to bring new content to player more frequently. Instead of a single feature update every summer, Mojang is now shifting development to provide smaller, more frequent updates throughout the year. Mojang has also promised players that there will also be developers working on "long-term initiatives" that will help "evolve Minecraft long into the future."

As a result of these changes, the formatting of Minecraft Live is also being altered. Along with retiring the mob vote, Minecraft Live will transition from a single large show in October to a "more focused broadcast" that will air twice a year instead. Just like the original show, these events will be used to showcase upcoming features, but they'll simply be smaller in scope.

Mojang doesn't have a set date for these shows, so we can most likely assume they'll be on random days throughout each year.

Finally, Mojang also confirms that a native PS5 version of the game is being worked on at the moment, though details are still pretty sparse. All the studio mentions is that it's working to "make it easier" to play with friends regardless of the system they're playing on, and that should be good news for PS5 players. Big changes are coming to Minecraft, so here's hoping that it works for both Mojang and players alike.
