Minecraft Live 2023: first news about Minecraft 1.21 update

Minecraft Live 2023 has finally passed. The developers revealed what awaits us in Minecraft 1.21. There will be unusual structures, unique mobs and much more. In addition, we learned the winner of the 2023 mob vote.

What will Minecraft 1.21 be about

Like last time, we will learn the name later. The main direction is the improvement of mechanisms and battles. Part of the features have already shown, but what else will be – we will learn later.

Voting results for mobs

In total, more than 5 million players voted. This time the winner was Armadillo, a fearful creature that is ready to quickly curl up in a ball when danger approaches. It will be used to craft Wolf Armor Shields.
