Just days before the 2023 Minecraft Live, more than 350,000 Minecraft enthusiasts are calling upon Mojang to abandon the controversial Minecraft mob vote and instead incorporate all three mobs into the game. A 'Stop the Mob Vote' petition is rapidly gaining traction having already amassed thousands of signatures – and the number is expected to surge further as the opening of ballots draws near.
In the 2023 Minecraft, regardless of how close the margin of defeat may be.
Launched on Saturday, October 7 by Holly Mavermorne, the petition has now sured 350,000 signatures at the time of writing. Serving as an open letter to Mojang, the petition is just part of a bigger boycotting movement that urges the publisher to halt the vote and instead introduce all three mobs.
In the latest update on the petition's page Mavermorne has expressed her gratitude for all the , and proposed a livestream event for the community. "Whether we win or lose I'd like to make something good of this community," they write. Mavermorne's livestream will follow Mojang's as the community holds their breath, waiting to discover whether the petition has changed the minds of Minecraft's developers. But in case the voting proceeds and only one mob is added to the game the event will celebrate the coming together of a community seeking "the betterment" of their game.
Mavermorne also hinted at featuring individuals from the community in her livestream, igniting the curiosity of many as to which of the big names in the world of content creation will turn up to the fight alongside their Minecraft community.
For now the Minecraft mob vote petition remains active, with official voting scheduled to commence on Friday, October 13, ahead of Minecraft Live which will take place this Sunday, October 15.
PCGamesN has reached out to Mojang requesting an official comment on the petition, and we'll update this article if we receive any further information.
