Apart from the traditional mob vote, Mojang has not disclosed much information about what will happen in Minecon 2021. For those unaware, mob voting is an event where Mojang lets fans vote for one out of three mob options. The mob that gets the highest votes will be added to the game in future updates.

In the last mob vote, players had the option of choosing between glow squid, moobloom, and iceologer. Moobloom was eliminated in the first stage, while glow squid won the final round with 5.4 percent more votes than iceologer.
