Mob Vote: Penguin

Did you hear a splash? No, I didn’t drop my pen in my coffee again, it’s another new mob that wants to join Minecraft: the penguin! 

You’ll find the penguin in the stony shores biome, waddling around the beach, or swimming in the nearby ocean. Just like its real-world counterpart, the penguin is a social mob, and it’s amphibious! That means it’s happy both on land and in the water, though it can be a little clumsy when walking. The penguin is a speedy swimmer though, and it has a very special skill – it can help your boat travel faster! Perhaps that would help Tiny Jens, Tiny Vu, and Tiny Agnes reach Minecraft Live in time?

Do you want the penguin to be the next mob to waddle into Minecraft? Then cast your vote! The mob vote opens at 1 pm EDT October 13, and closes at 1:15 pm EDT on October 15. The winner will then be announced during Minecraft Live, which starts at 1 pm EDT on October 15!
