Minecraft players agree third 2023 mob vote contender is useless—but it might win anyway

The final competitor for Minecraft’s 2023 run of the mob vote event was unveiled to be penguins on Oct. 5. And while their functionality is quite lackluster, players are planning to vote for them anyway simply because they’re cute.

If penguins are chosen, they will be found waddling around the stony shores biome and the nearby oceans. And if you’re traveling by boat in the ocean, a penguin might swim up to you and help move your boat along faster.
