Minecraft Live 2021

Minecraft Live 2021 is an upcoming event set to go live on October 16, 2021 at 4 PM UTC. It will announce the next update after Caves & Cliffs: Part II and will contain a mob vote.

Announcement
The event was mentioned in a video released by Mojang called "Caves & Cliffs Special: Looking Forward". Agnes Larsson said that the next major update would be announced at Minecraft Live 2021.

The event was later formally announced in a video by Mojang released on September 2, 2021.

Mob vote
As with Minecraft Live 2020 and Minecon Earth 2017, there will be a mob vote, in which the winning mob will be added to the game in a future update. Each mob is planned to receive its own video justifying its inclusion.

Glare
The glare, is a small vex-like mob that will be able to alert players to an area that is dark enough for hostile mobs to spawn in. The glare hovers above the ground and appears to have a green material covering everything except for it's wide eyes.
