Minecraft Live 2023 was a live event held on October 15, 2023 at 17:00 UTC. Like with previous Minecraft Live events, it featured a mob vote between three mobs: the crab, the armadillo, and the penguin.^[1] This was the first Minecraft Live to be pre-recorded and was the last Minecraft Live to have a mob vote.

News

Minecraft Live 2023 announced the yet-unnamed at that time 1.21 update to Minecraft, which includes the voted-in armadillo, the trial chambers, several new copper blocks such as the copper bulb, new types of tuff, the crafter block, the trial spawner, and the breeze. New mobs and structures for Minecraft Legends were also announced, such as the frog mount, witches, clangers, and air chopper.

Announcement

The event was announced in a video which was uploaded to the official Minecraft YouTube Channel on September 13, 2023.

Community Pre-show

There was a 20-minute Community Pre-Show right before the main event which consisted of content creators expressing about Minecraft.

Update Announcements

Like previous years, there was an announcement relating to the next major update. This year, the update that was announced was the currently unnamed at that time 1.21 Update. The update is said to focus on "combat adventures and tinkering". It includes several copper block variants, trial chambers, and armadillos - the winner of the 2023 Mob Vote. It also includes the new crafter, tuff brick types, and more enemies that spawn in the trial chambers.

Mob Vote

As with MINECON Earth 2017 and Minecraft Live 2020, 2021 and 2022, viewers were able to vote for a new mob to be added to the game in a future update.

The voting began on October 13, 2023 at 17:00 UTC, and ended on October 15, 2023 at 17:15 UTC. Like the previous year, the 2023 Mob Vote Event took place in an event server on Bedrock Edition, via the Minecraft Launcher, and on minecraft.net.^[1] Additionally, players from mainland China were also able to vote in the China Edition launcher.^[2][3]

Those who participated in the Mob Vote 2023 got the “Cherry Blossom” Minecraft Java Edition and later Bedrock Edition cape.

The mob vote had three mobs to vote on: the crab, the armadillo, and the penguin. Jens Bergensten described the options as “cute animals” at the Minecraft China Developers Conference held in Chengdu, China on September 27.^[4]

This was the final edition of the mob vote, as it was retired the following year.^[5]

Crab

The crab spawns in mangrove swamps. The player can obtain a crab claw which allows them to place and break blocks from further away. Kelp can be used to breed crabs. Crabs also occasionally wave at players and other crabs. ^[2][6]

Armadillo

The armadillo spawns in savannas. It can become startled and hide in its shell when the player confronts it; it can also drop scutes (not necessarily from dying), which will be used to craft armor for wolves, offering them better protection during combat.^[7]

Penguin

The penguin spawns on the stony shore biome. Penguins increase the speed of the player's boat. Penguins are amphibious, living both in the water and on land. Although clumsy when walking and might fall down occasionally, the penguins are excellent swimmers and can swim as fast as the dolphins. They gather in groups.^[8][2]

Result

Near the end of the livestream, it was revealed that the armadillo won the vote. The percentage results were announced shortly after the end of the event on Minecraft's official Twitter account.^[9]

Rank	Mob	Votes	Votes (%)[9]
1	Armadillo	~2,115,000	42.3%
2	Crab	~1,625,000	32.5%
3	Penguin	~1,260,000	25.2%

Music

Minecraft Live: 2023 (Original Soundtrack) is the soundtrack released for Minecraft Live 2023, featuring compositions by Camilo Forero and Joseph S. Djafar, which feature all of the music included as part of the event.
