Announcement
The event was mentioned in a Minecraft Now livestream by Agnes Larsson on August 25, 2022, stating that it would take place on October 15, 2022.

The event was later formally announced in a video released by Mojang Studios on September 8, 2022.

Mob Vote


As with MINECON Earth 2017 and Minecraft Live 2020 and 2021, viewers were able to vote for a new mob to be added to the game in a future update. Each mob received its own video justifying its inclusion.

Unlike previous years, in which the vote was conducted through Twitter during the show, the vote began on October 14 at noon EDT and ended the following day as the show began. The vote took place across three areas: a server on, through the Minecraft Launcher, and on minecraft.net. Users were also able to change their vote during the 24-hour period.

The mobs that were on the vote are the sniffer, rascal, and the tuff golem.


 * The sniffer is described as an ancient mob that is hatched from sniffer eggs, which can be found in chests in underwater ruins. Upon hatching, the sniffer can find ancient seeds, which can be used to grow new types of plants, which will also come with the sniffer. The sniffer won the vote and is planned to be added in the 1.20 update.


 * The rascal is a mob that would've been found underground in areas below y=0. The rascal would've give the player hints to help search for it, and would've also given the player an item if it was found three times.


 * The tuff golem is a golem that would've been built by the player; if a wool block was included while building it, the tuff golem would've worn a cloak matching the color of the wool block. The tuff golem is described as a statue that would've held and displayed any item, but when it wakes up, it would also move around while either holding an item, or pick up an item if it is not holding one. The tuff golem would've returned back to the spot that it woke up from before turning back into a statue.

Result
The result was announced at the end of the show. It was stated during the show that over 3.5 million votes were cast, with the winning mob, the sniffer, accounting for more than half of the votes. The number of votes for each mob were not immediately disclosed.


 * 1) Sniffer (>50%)
 * 2) Rascal
 * 3) Tuff golem
