Minecraft Mob Vote: My Take on the Mobs to Vote For
5 years ago
General
Glow Squid: Pretty but doesn't actually produce light, it is only fake emissive light (glow without any actual light output). They only glow in the same way Enderman eyes do, which is to say... fake glow, not a light source. It adds no new functionality to the game. It is literally just a re-textured squid.
Moobloom: Pretty and has a cute interaction with bees. A pretty useless functionally. Drops same as cow. Leaves trail of flowers, but flowers aren't exactly how to come by in FLOWER FORESTS of all places. It adds no new functionality to the game.
Iceologer: Helps with blue ice bridges! Drops ice! They may also add additional things later that are related to their ice magic, but even with just a simple ice drop imagine how much easier grinding for blue ice bridges would be! For those worried about a "new phantom", keep in mind this only spawns in specific snow biomes and doesn't even have knockback. It won't push you off the mountains.
I honestly think that they could have easily added all of the above, but out of these options? Iceologer is my choice.
I'll take anything that isn't the useless Glow Squid. Moobloom would be my second choice if not Iceologer.
Edit: Glow Squid won. Definitely not my choice, but with the addition of underground oceans it could actually be a nice addition. Gotta look on the plus side.

I personally like the Glow Squid, if it means the potential for a new light source block or item. Underwater torch maybe? The Moobloom doesn't really excite me... Buttercups would likely be a new flower alongside it I guess but what purpose would that be when yellow dye isn't hard to get. Iceologer will be the only new hostile one, kind of a no brainer I feel.
I do kind of agree though... Just add all three. Each on their own doesn't seem to really add much, I'd rather just see them all added along with whatever drops they may bring, if any. I just hope this won't mean that whatever doesn't get picked gets shelved for eternity like the sea monster from the last vote-a-mob.
