Minecraft Live 2022

Minecraft Live 2022 is an upcoming event set to go live on October 15, 2022, at 16:00 UTC.

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 by Mojang Studios released on September 8, 2022.

Mob Vote
As with MINECON Earth 2017 and Minecraft Live 2020 and 2021, viewers will be 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 is scheduled to begin on October 14 at noon EDT and end the following day as the show begins. The vote will take place across three areas: a server on Bedrock Edition, through the Minecraft launcher, and on the Minecraft website. Users will also be able to change their vote during the 24-hour period.

The mobs that are 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 if it wins.


 * The rascal is a mob that can be found underground in areas below y=0. The rascal will give the player hints to help search for it, and will also give the player an item if it is found three times.


 * The tuff golem is a golem that is built by the player; if a wool block is included while building it, the tuff golem will wear a cloak matching the color of the wool block. The tuff golem is described as a statue that can hold and display any item, but when it wakes up, it can also move around while either holding an item, or can pick up an item if it is not holding one. The tuff golem will return back to the spot that it woke up from before turning back into a statue.
