Minecraft 1.21 - Vote for the Crab & Crab Claw! 

It would be so cool if they had you combine the crab claw with a string or chain to create a grappling hook!

If the crab wins, they HAVE to add the the friggin CRAB RAVE as a feature similar to the piglin dance!

The crab is a really cool mob, but I don’t like that a real life mob will never be added cause it was in a mob bite once!

I can't believe they are adding crab meat sandwiches to Minecraft!😋😋

Personal theory: all of this mobs will have a "quality of life" feature that will improve your everyday game but won't be too op. Increasing reach to improve building is a good example. Looking forward to see what other features will see with the next two mobs.

Crabs should be found in more biomes honestly. Actually in the ocean and on beach biomes too

The crab claw is either an offhand item or something you can make a potion or a stew with and it gives you a temporary effect. There aren't many other ways to make it work.

I'll be voting for the rockhopper penguin thanks 😉

Skeleton that kills it should make the crab drop the "Crab Rave" music disc.

Steamed crabs, here to stay. Get famous. Jokes aside I’ll vote for them as long as there aren’t any birds, because the previous ones haven’t been added and even if they will, it’s still a slow pace

Toycat: “Don’t vote blue, no matter who!” The literal blue crabs in the background: _Threateningly wag their fists…_

Block reach might be really helpful for building bridges, especially in the Nether. (Yeah, I know there's the crouch technique, but doesn't that leave you wide open to mobs?)

The Crab is cool, but it's linked to a rare biome so you wouldn't see much of it. I think something like the glow squid which spawns all over the world and adds ambience in a lot of different places is better than a mob you find once in a rare biome and never see again. Yes, biome specific mobs add something new to explore your world for, but I feel like minecraft is lacking in ambient mobs. Hopefully the other two will have items that are just as useful.

the Iceologer will never be forgotten

I still wanna see how the Jellyfish will look

Mr. Toycat, I don't know how to break this to you, but the crab is blue

8:28 but the crab is blue XD. But in all seriousness. The claw would probably be similar to flint and steel. An item you can get that has a durability attach to it. Edit also it should have a limit. I think up to 3 blocks should do it.

Imagine seagulls act like phantoms when you hold out food but intead of attacking you they steal your food

The claw feature is nice but because they’re only in Mangrove swamps you’re hardly ever going run into them and once you do they become kind of useless after you get the claw.

I love the crab, but this is one of those mons that mojang should've just added to the game straight away instead of giving it a 1 out of 3 chance of winning a vote.

Crabs could also introduce new food into the game…

LET US EAT THE CRAB!😋 It is commonly eaten.

Apparently they already had the model ready (there's an emote on the official MC Live discord server that shows the crab model)

The crab claw could also mean we could likely water bucket clutch easier.

We have to bear in mind it could just be one or two blocks further- let's not get our hopes up.

Honestly I really want this in the game. As someone who works on bigger builds with a lot of vertical height, this would be a huge improvement. You have no idea how many times I wish scaffolding would just reach a little longer.

All I want is the Copper Golem but the crab is cute and seems like a good addition

I'll of course wait for the other mobs to be revealed, but as someone who makes a lot of big builds in minecraft, the crab claw could be really cool! I hope it will work as a piece of armour or in the off-hand slot. Personally the most annoying thing for me is not being able to build more than three blocks down when you're high up somewhere.

Definitely the claw will be obtained similarly to when a turtle grows.

The crab claw could be an off hand item which might encourage mojang to implement better bedrock offhand

I’m still hoping for Ducks.💕🦆 💕

ToyCat when he realises the crab is blue: **surprise Pikachu**

If it is an end update, this would be so useful for the end islands.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again. There shouldn't be a mob vote. All 3 mobs should be implemented into the game. The more variety, the better. The last 4 mob votes all had really amazing options. Had everything been implemented, all of the updates would have been much more substantial

I am intrigued by the claw, and excited for the next mob videos

I have 3 features that need to be added to the crab: 1) a crab rave feature. need i say anymore? 2) Krabby Patties, crafted from crab claws (or smth else) with 2 bread. if not a recipe (after all, who knows what the recipe is), it should at least be an item, perhaps from ocean ruins 3) deep ocean crabs. there are crabs which live at the bottom of the ocean like the Japanese Spider Crab, which look absolutely terrifying. the ocean just doesn't feel scary enough and I think they could make a giant crab variant which is about the size of a hoglin and is neutral. The Crab claws also have the potential to revolutionize PVP. obviously there's some logistics to be sorted out, but having a hand-mounted item strapped to your arm could change a lot of other things. if it's in your off-hand, you could use it as some sort of defensive tool which could be used in place of a shield. If they decide to add an entire armor slot for something like this, this could open up a TON of possibilities. gauntlets, knuckle-dusters, or an easy access weapon without the need for more inventory space. we already know Mojang is willing to add these sorts of weapons bc they added them to MC Dungeons. Yes ik it sounds like i want to turn MC into 'Murica, but if they balance it out, it has the potential to be really fun for all sides.

New and original Idea: Add everything instead of a vote. Thinking smart and putting in actual work rather than taking 1-3 years for minor things. EDIT: Voting for some mob is barely community involvement. How about actually doing more than that? Bedrock and Java can play games together with certain mods, coding, etc. Why not do something with that? There's so much things other than some terrible mob vote and pathetic updates.

I think they should use the crab claw for a potion of long reach that gives you better reach.

So I really hope that the Crab Claw doesn’t become yet another tool to carry around. I think that is what makes things like Goat Horns and the Spyglass not get much use because players value their inventory slots too much to use them on such niche items. I think that Mojang should implement it so that you use the Anvil to combine a Tool with the Crab Claw to give the tool the added reach ability. It would be like adding the Reach Enchantment to the tool, but make it so that this “enchantment” is only obtained through using Crabs and not through Enchantment Books or the Enchanting Table. The other way to go would be to make it so that you use Crab Claws to create a “ Reach Beacon “ that you place on the ground and it gives all players the added reach ability within a certain range. Either way, this is a good start to the mob vote. Hopefully we continue to get lots of good information to work with so that players can make the most informed decision possible.

One thing about these mob votes is that they can be less about the mobs and more about the mechanics that should be (and potentially will be) added regardless. Longer reach (if implemented well) is incredibly useful. The sniffer matches the archeology theme. Chest boats are more useful in oceans than just swamps. The Great Hunger eating enchantments was added in the form of a grindstone. The Rascal's early game rewards, like an enchanted pickaxe, can be lumped onto the Wandering Trader. Mobs spawning in absolute darkness pretty much makes the Glare obsolete.

Due to the recent videos of yours, the jellyfish seems super likely. It would probably give you the ability to easily craft torches that function underwater. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

the achievement for placing a block with a crab claw should be titled "Crab Experiments" good for you if you get the reference

If they choose Crab, would there be different varients in the future? Like there are those with slender long legs underwater and those that are small and make sand balls while eating the sand

"Don't vote blue no matter who" WHAT DO YOU MEAN! THE CRAB IS BLUE?!?! LOL

>Crab >Jellyfish >Seagull >explored on a boat to new places Are we getting an ocean-focused update? I know we got aquatic stuff relatively recently, but I suppose the biome depths don’t yet have oceans as deep as caves, and maybe islands could use some sprucing up.

Wheres the vote for all the above button? Surely they could do it?

Primary uses: -Mr. Krabs memes -Reason to find Mangrove Swamps -It might actually change Minecraft's dynamics considering it claims to add Vanilla Survival No-Cheats extra range, PVP and Building included

Minecraft will make us arbitrarily choose between 3 simple mobs again! Yippee!

Crabs live mainly in freshwater coastal areas. They do live in swamps but they should be spawing in oceans near the coast.

When will they start adding legit new bosses, or new dimensions other than the 3 we got now?

fairly certain the mechanic to actually get the crab claw will be similar to turtles dropping scute. Due to crabs molting in real life, I imagine it'd be called a molt as it grows from baby to adult and consequently drops its old claw

These have a very ocean theme to em if these are true. So maybe its another water themed update with more structures and uses for the underwater.

For 2B2T players: having this extra reach probably means you could place Respawn Anchors, prime them, and then detonate them from a further distance, minimizing damage dealt to yourself.

I don’t know what the seagull and jellyfish could do that would match the crab’s usefulness, I’m curious… I can really only guess right now that the seagull will steal your food and the jellyfish just exist.

I know we shouldn't judge yet but couldn't they have just put the crab in the update itself without having to make us vote for it? I'd rather they just take mobs from the spinoff games and put them in the votes instead like what they did with the moobloom and chillager.

use for the seagull: make it that it spawns on a beach so that when you follow it for 200 blocks over an ocean it leads you to an island with a mcdonalds on it

We can now listen to the song Crab Rave while playing minecraft!!!

I always look forward to your videos, I can’t wait to watch this one.

Honestly the claws position and side look makes it look like a cool turtle

The crab claw adds some interesting implications for PvP, placing cobwebs, lava buckets, and explosives like end crystals and respawn anchors will receive a buff!

As long as add crab cakes i might consider it

'Don't vote blue, no matter who?' So don't vote for the crab since it's blue? Ok, thanks, will do! lol

What Mojang should REALLY do, is bundle votes! Where it's kinda like a cross between the biome votes and mob votes. So 3 options, each with a few different features, like the biome votes, but only it doesn't have to be all for a biome!

Tiny Jen: Tiny Vu has found a crab; one of the new mobs that wants to join Minecraft! Crab: Hello I’m ibxtoycat…

I had a pet crab once, and it was a baby. When it grew up, its big claw fell off and a new one grew. I’m guessing this is how the crab claw would be obtained, kind of like the baby turtle. I don’t think Mojang would want players killing the crab, and they like adding realism.

Bro the DONT vote blue doesn’t make any sense because: 1. We couldn’t even tell what color phantom was going to be, 2. The iceologer was literally blue, 3. The allay was the best choice and it was blue!!! 4. The sniffer isn’t even blue!!!!

Longer reach is HUGE for vertical walls. Right now you can look down and place 3 below. I know this because I have spent countless hours backfilling terrain 3 layers at a time

They really should add a grappling hook that lets you hang on walls. Its a no brainer quality of life addition that would make mobility so much better.

A good BLUE mob, mojang knows what their doing

"The good news is that crab legs regenerate in the same fashion as claws" so you might shear the claw off or something

Just wondering if the crab claw could be a potion ingredient so that you can have the effect for a limited amount of time. It would make you go back and get more of them.

@5:01 "who wants to hurt themselves? Not me, that's for sure" Hurts himself 2 more times

Crabs are absolutely exciting on its own, evolution always aims for the crab!

Crab already looks solid, But a seagull even though very annoying, Would be nice because theres little to no birds in this game.

toycat: who wants to hurt themselves? not me, that's for sure! also toycat: **continues to hurt himself and take more fall damage**

Everyone loves crabs. There are cults worshipping crustaceans. Everything turns to crab. 🦀

bigger block reach is nice, but it sounds like it only works for when placing blocks, if it works for breaking blocks, it can be very helpful with mining too, including if you still do strip mining

Plus adding real life animals as mobs gives them more time to plan on the implementation of that mob

this is a stretch but is the claw from the crab a joke on the " claw hand" kids toys that give you extra arm length???

Love crabs, so I dunno. I'm thinking the crab claw will be a potion ingredient, so that you actually have a reason to get more than one crab claw. This would allow you to have block reach with a potion, but not have to add a new inventory slot or make crab claws completely useless after you get just one. I think more block reach would be good, because I do have an issue with reach commonly, but we'll see the other options first.

If the crabs actually wave at you in-game I definitely know my choice. I hope the Jellyfish isn’t just another squid-like creature in the game. Though I bet they’d look very pretty underwater. Idk what they could add to seagulls to make me wanna pick them.

Toycat: "I actually really like the crab." Also Toycat 10 seconds later: Remember, Don't vote Blue, no matter who(ever it is)." My dude, the crab is blue, and seems decent, so that doesn't really apply here. (It never applied, it was just putting the pain of the past onto the future.)

Knowing mojang they only included the crab claw feature to avoid the “problem” with eating crabs

Okay so in the trailer it said they were lost right? I think the most obvious thing they could do is have seagulls spawn above the ocean and maybe if you feed them a fish they'll lead you to a specific biome or just take you right back to land It sounds a little underwhelming but a way they could make it more interesting is that if you tame the pet maybe it can instead point you to where you last slept Basically being an early game compass/loadstone that is less customisable cause it'll always take you back to where you slept and would be useless in the other dimensions That is if the leak is real of course

0:27 that’s actually big, lets all vote for this The range in minecraft has always felt small asf I hope this crab spawns in more biomes than just mangrove… maybe stony shores and beaches. But lets think like mojang. It probably wont.

"Don't vote Blue, no matter who" BUT but..but the crab IS blue in this video!

One "active" tool slot? Add a claw, totem, lantern (level 5 light around you), portable iJukebox... Just some idears.

I wish monkeys were a mob. There's many possibilities based around them. They could be tamed and do tricks. Fur variations. Maybe even leather armor applications. They could add banana trees as it's food source.

Crab claw gives serious terraria accessory vibes

I wish there was a block placing redstone item like the dispenser so that you could design a crane and build much larger. Also i want a backhoe to mine several blocks at once.

I think it would be cool if the jellyfish is going to be the next mob to be announced, its special feature could be something called conductive gel and which one combined Redstone allows for vertical placement that word help a lot of people

Based on how the claw is shown in floating in the water in the animation, it _might_ be possible that you get it from fishing, but that would mean that the crab itself is useless…

Maybe a jellyfish can drop a singer to stun ur Enemies, for PvP Seagull can drop a beak that you can store stuff in (maybe a pelican instead), for adventurers And crab drops claw for further reach, builders. There might be a mob for everyone in this mob vote!

Yeah, I could see a crab claw being very useful for those of us that like building big structures or farms - especially one ones that float way above the ground or water. I suppose the key will be exactly _how_ much further way are we talking? 1 or 2 blocks or even more? Especially if it is an off-hand passive ability - or as an armor slot (glove?). Initially, I was unimpressed until they revealed the crab claw item and ability. I wonder what superpower the seagull would have? Crap on your enemies? That's not a snowball. LOL

Mojang needs to increase the inventory size. I mean they could do a whole update just for inventory and organization honestly.

I’m voting on the principle of “FINALLY a new arthropod!” Plus, they look pretty cute- just hope that there’s more to ‘em than getting killed for items!

Ifthe options are crab,jellyfish and seagull i think we might have a chance for a beach update and aquatic update 2.0

How many times have I wished that i had longer block-placing reach when building a large wall, ladder-way, or bubble column elevators & drop chutes. Very useful stuff imo. The other mobs are gunna have to have some really cool stuff to beat that

Ibx: "Don't vote blue, no matter who" Crab: ...

One thing I really want added in the new update is adding the previously voted for mobs/biomes, or at least 1 from each previous vote. I would love to see the iceolager (anyone remember the chillager?) and the savanna or badlands update, and also the previous mobs like copper golem, tuff golem, glare, rascal, moobloom, etc.
