    considering that the game is now owned by microsoft these votes just end up feeling kind of like a slap to the face, it’s like holding a thousand dollars in your hands and asking whether someone wants a piece of gum or a bouncy ball.

      Random question in case I have free time, would it be legal to entirely reimpliment the Minecraft engine open source in a better programming language?

      Then do something like opekjdk and just release alongside the official with QOL and performance improvements

        you can completely legally extract the textures from your minecraft install and use a program to convert them to be used in minetest :)
        It’s just illegal to redistribute them.

        There are also popular third party texture packs from minecraft that people have converted to be used in minetest, which are legal to redistribute so you can just download them and use as is :D

    I’m honestly torn between Crab (seemingly the favorite to win, would make construction way more convenient without all the scaffolding) and Armadillo (as MC has long been lacking in the pet department; cats don’t do much besides repel creepers and protect you from phantoms, the equines and camels are just mounts, parrots don’t really do anything, and allays are painfully rare for how useful they are and more of manual labor than pets), and we never let our wolves help fight mobs and make them sit in our bases all the time, ever fearful of their job’s high mortality rate. But IMO they should just add all 3 because they all sound really useful (we won’t go wrong no matter which one wins, unlike with the sniffer, phantom and glow squid)- but that would take way too much effort for mojang to handle these days, as they’ve gotten so lazy they fail to deliver in a whole year what every other major ancient game that still updates regularly can do in 2 months; we had to wait A WHOLE YEAR for minor bug fixes, JE server performance being increased from 12 TPS to 13 TPS, a new tree and 2 new mobs. Or at least hold a “second-chance” mob vote for the runner-ups of previous ones.

    And if the crab wins, they better make it rave to jukeboxes and give its claw enchants that increase its reach even more.

    My opinion: All are shit

    1. Crab: People are looking forward to not struggling anymore with the block reach, but jokes on them, if you increase the reach by one block, you’ll run into the same issue, just as quickly. Only because you can build one block farther doesn’t mean that you don’t have to jump to place a block
    2. Armadillo: Nobody uses dogs. They are useless, slow, weak and horse armor is more useful. They serve as furniture, unlike cats which can be used in farms.
    3. Penguins: Ice biomes are too rare. Also literally just another dolphin. If I see ice and want to go fast, I put my boat on the ice, not in the water.

    Actually degenerate mob selection. How are these useful? Rather make the bats useful
