=== Mob Vote ===

|
[[File:MINECON 2017 new mob.jpg|thumb|The four options of a new mob that will be voted into the game.]]
|
|
Watchers were able to vote for a new mob to be added into the game, out of 4 options (pictured). People were able to vote via a Twitter poll, and the three mobs that did not win the vote were not implemented.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|925725252386279424|HUGE ANNOUCEMENT KLAXON: On November 18th, you can vote for a new mob to be added to Minecraft during MINECON Earth!|November 2, 2017}}</ref>

{{Main|Barnacle}}
|
|
Mob A, the Barnacle,<ref>{{ytl|vh04binv1bQ|t=33m16s}}</ref> also called "The Monster of the Ocean Depths", is a [[Squid]]-like ocean creature that sucks players down with its tentacle. The mob spawns in the [[Deep Ocean]] [[biome]] and has a large mouth that it uses to propel itself through the water. [[Jens Bergensten|Jeb]] says that viewers should vote for Mob A because there is currently not a lot of content in the oceans, and it would make a good challenge for players traveling across the ocean.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|930076496294760448|At this year's MINECON Earth, YOU decide which mob makes it into the game.

{{Main|Phantom}}
|
|
Mob B, the Phantom, at the time known as "The Monster of the Night Skies", is a flying creature that seeks out and attacks players who haven't slept for 3 days. It spawns at high altitudes in the air, and attacks in groups. Jeb says that viewers should vote for Mob B because there were no flying monsters in the [[Overworld]] yet.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|930435305500442624|It's nearly time for MINECON Earth's Mob Vote! Will you vote to add Mob B, the Monster of the Night Skies to Minecraft? Find out all about it here!|November 14, 2017}}</ref> Mob B won the vote, and was first added into the game in [[Java Edition 1.13]] snapshot [[18w07a]], with the name of Phantom.

{{Main|Great Hunger}}
|
|
Mob C, "The Great Hunger", is a lizard-like creature that sinks into the ground, camouflages itself and consumes mobs and items with its huge mouth. It has a "great appetite for [[enchanting]] powers" and Jeb says that viewers should vote for Mob C because players may be able to use the mob's abilities to add or remove enchantments for players' own items.<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|930797685497622528|MINECON Earth's Mob Vote approaches! Will you vote for Mob C, The Great Hunger? Satisfy your appetite for FACTS here.|November 15, 2017}}</ref> Mob C was eliminated after the third poll.

The ability to remove enchantments was later added in the form of the [[grindstone]] block.

{{Main|Wildfire}}
|
|
Mob D, The Wildfire, called "The Hovering Inferno" during the vote, is a type of [[blaze]]. Its body parts look like [[shield]]s and are used to defend itself from attack. This mob spawns with groups of blazes randomly and attacks the player in the [[Nether]] with its dangerous shock wave attack. Jeb says that viewers should vote for Mob D because it would make the Nether "even more scary and exciting".<ref>{{tweet|Minecraft|931160039649431554|Choose which mob makes it into Minecraft during this year's MINECON Earth! Will you vote for Mob D, the Hovering Inferno? Here's why you might|November 16, 2017}}</ref> Mob D was eliminated after the second poll.

|

It was later planned to be a part of the [[MCD:Flames of the Nether|Flames of the Nether]] [[MCD:Downloadable Content|DLC]] for ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]'', but was cut due to time constraints. A statue of it still appears in the [[MCD:Nether Fortress|Nether Fortress]] [[MCD:Mission|mission]] in that game. It was then added as a mob in the [[MCD:Luminous Night|Luminous Night]] [[MCD:Seasonal Adventure|seasonal adventure]].
