Also, this year’s mob vote
Minecraft! After a month reporting on the barren planets ofStarfieldand plundering the rather more involving dungeons ofBaldur’s Gate 3, it’s almost steadying to remember that these supposed titans are but momentary flickers, transient particles in the sunken Creeper eyesocket of Mojang’s behemoth. And what a time to rediscover the game. Vanilla Minecraft has always felt like an autumnal creation to me, even before they added all the pumpkin heads - a game of long nights and campfires, with an ambience derived from Tove Jansson’s Moomin books. Anyway, here’s the teaser trailer for Minecraft Live.
The Mob Vote kicks off on 13th October, and you’ll be able to cast your vote via the Minecraft Launcher, Minecraft.net, or a special event server on Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Choose wisely, young adventurer. We all remember the fallout when Mojang were compelled to add phantoms to the game.
