As Minecraft Live gets closer, Mojang is gearing up to promote their upcoming show in full force. Mojang recently added a new tab to the game's official launcher and client. This is where players can vote for the new mobs in this year's mob vote.

One of the event's highlights is the new mob vote competition held right before the live show. This is where players can vote amongst the three new mobs introduced by Mojang. The mob gets the most votes and adds to the game with the next update.

Mojang has gradually shifted the mob vote from Twitter to their official platforms like their website, launcher, and even Bedrock Edition of the game itself.

Millions of players might be unaware or not watching Mojang's biggest event of the year. Hence, the tab briefly explains what the live show is all about. They mention how it covers all the news about upcoming projects and reveals new features that will be added to the game. Furthermore, they also explain what can be done on this particular tab, i.e., voting for new mobs.

Lastly, the section explains how people can watch the livestream from their official YouTube channel. Since this is the first iteration, they are only allowing the mob vote to happen. But they could also livestream the entire show on the launcher in the future. Of course, this is just speculation, and nothing can be said.

At the center of the entire page, there is a vote button present. However, this button cannot be pressed since the voting window will open in two days' time, on October 14 at noon.


2) Brief about new mobs

For those who might not know already, Mojang also provided brief information about the three mobs featured in this year's mob vote competition. If players want to know more about the mobs, they can head to Minecraft's YouTube channel and watch their reveal videos.

Mob voting is the main reason why a new tab is being created for the launcher. This is one of the places where fans can vote for their favorite mob.


3) Bedrock Edition carnival map information
