The '''community vote''' <!-- Please do not change this to "is". The mob vote was discontinued on September 9th, 2024 and is no longer held following that date. -->was a community poll that took place during or just before ''[[Minecraft Live]]'' events. It allowed viewers to vote for a new [[mob]] or [[biome]] to be added to the game in a future update. Each option received its own video, explaining its impact on gameplay.

Starting from 2022, the vote took place before the show went live and players were able to cast their votes across three areas: [[Event servers|a server on ''Bedrock Edition'']], via the ''[[Minecraft Launcher]]'', and on [https://minecraft.net minecraft.net]. In 2023, players could also vote in the ''[[China Edition]]'' launcher. Previously, the vote was held on the official [https://twitter.com/Minecraft ''Minecraft'' page on Twitter] during the livestream. The results of the votes were released during the livestream. The community vote was discontinued on September 9th, 2024, making [[Minecraft Live 2023]] the last official Minecraft event to have a mob vote.<ref>{{mcnet|the-future-of-minecrafts-development|The future of Minecraft’s development|September 9, 2024|Ryan Cooper}}</ref>

An unrelated [[China Edition#History|prediction poll]] was also held in China, teasing the announcement at [[MINECON Earth 2018]] of a Chinese "national treasure" coming to ''Minecraft''. Options in the poll were the Giant panda, Chinese alligator, Golden monkey, White-lipped deer, and River dolphin.<ref>https://mc.163.com/pe/client/activity/voteforanimalpc/index.html</ref> The {{EntityLink|Panda}} won the poll, was announced a few days later during the livestream, and subsequently added in [[Village & Pillage]].
