There will be a mob vote

Another exciting feature of the Live event, the mob vote, was revealed in the trailer video. For many years, Mojang has been giving the community some control over which feature gets added to the next update via the mob vote. This includes mobs, biomes, and more.

It has been confirmed that Mojang will be bringing back the mob vote system where players can choose which mob gets added to the game with the Minecraft 1.20 update.

However, unlike every previous mob vote, this vote will not be conducted on Twitter. This time, Mojang is innovating and adding a way to vote for the mob from inside the game itself. Players will be able to enter a special multiplayer area where they will be able to vote for the new mob.

Additionally, Mojang will also be updating the official game launcher to feature the mob vote there as well. This way, only those who actually own and play the game will be able to vote for the new mobs.

Along with the announcement date and the new mob voting system, some of the new Minecraft 1.20 update features are expected to be revealed during the live stream.

Even though Mojang has not mentioned anything about the new features, spectator mode in Bedrock Edition, a new main menu UI for Bedrock, Bundles, and more are expected to be added with the next update.

These features will most likely debut in the next update since they appeared finished and polished in the preview builds.
