Official 2022 Minecraft Mob Vote introduction

Featured Mobs

Sniffer

Mojang Studios' Sniffer introduction

Sniffer can only be obtained by hatching eggs that occasionally appear in ocean ruins.

Sniffer eggs gradually crack over time, similar to turtle eggs, eventually hatching into a baby. Eggs can be crushed by stepping on them. Unlike turtle eggs, other mobs don't attempt to destroy them.

Sniffer periodically sniffs the air and may detect an interesting scent. Upon finding something, it slowly moves toward the scent source and digs it up. After digging, the mob cannot dig again for 1 minute.

For breeding, feed Sniffer beetroots. After mating, the mob lays an egg. The mod adds 2 new achievements related to this mob.

Rascal

Mojang Studios' Rascal introduction

Rascal appears only in mines below Y=0 level. Only one such mob can exist in the world at a time. If removed, a new one appears after 10 minutes. Inactive Rascal despawns after 15 minutes.

In survival mode, Rascal offers to play hide and seek and immediately runs out of sight. After some time, it teleports to a chosen hiding spot and adopts a crouching pose. If you find the same Rascal three times, it cautiously approaches and gives you a reward from its backpack.

After rewarding, Rascal disappears in smoke. When killed, it may drop an iron ingot. The mod adds 2 new achievements for this mob.

Tuff Golem

Mojang Studios' Tuff Golem introduction

Tuff Golem can be created in two ways:

• Place a carved pumpkin or jack o'lantern on a tuff block
• Place tuff and a carved pumpkin on any color wool block

Most of the time, the golem remains in statue state, sitting motionless in peaceful sleep. Periodically it awakens and moves around the area for 30-60 seconds before returning to its original position.

Cloaked golems can display items. To retrieve an item, click the golem with an empty hand. If awake and not holding an item, the golem may pick up nearby items for display.

When killed, the golem may drop tuff and the item it was displaying. The mod adds 2 new achievements.
