I'm quite surprised (and frankly, disappointed) that the glow squid won. What exactly was the appeal?
At least the rest of 1.17 looks amazing!
I was in the official Discord for the past few days. The most common answer I saw was they wanted the glowing mob. But quite a few said they didn't want to vote for another hostile mob lest it turn into a Phantom 2.0, and there were a few reasons for not voting for the moobloom (mainly they didn't use bees/honey themselfes or them thinking flower fields were too rare to warrant a unique mob).
I personally said moobloom, but I'm learning to use datapacks to create custom mobs, so I'm just going to add in mooblooms and iceologers myself.

If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
To download the other ones you need to make a folder in the versions folder for minecraft and put the client and JSON file for the versions in there. They all need to be named the same aside from file extensions. Once you do that, you will be able to choose that version when making a new profile with the minecraft launcher.

So wait, the community, or at least most of them, actually preferred the glow squid over the Iceologer? What made them ever think that the Iceologer would ever be anything like the Phantom? And did they seriously vote glow squid just for looks?

Sounds like it, since I haven't seen any other real reasoning to vote for a retextured squid.

No, I meant that as the number 1 reason people voted for the glow squid: because it glowed and they liked it. Then there were those who didn't want iceologers, then probably people who were influenced by Dream or Mr. Beast.
The real puzzling thing is how the Iceologer would ever be like the Phantom.
Both would have punished the player for doing something otherwise minor. Phantoms punish players for staying awake since sleeping really isn't necessary in the late game when the player is geared up. Likewise, iceologers would have punished players for entering mountain biomes at night and would have discouraged building inside of them.
I made this whole argument to one person about how the falling ice attack would have either been too slow to hit consistently and therefore make iceologers a pushover or fast enough that players have little chance of dodging it and how an enemy with a ranged attack that deals damage nearly every time it was used wouldn't be a fun combat mechanic, even if it was a unique one. And the person couldn't actually counter it. It even reached a point where they said "well if it was in the trailer only and not in screenshots, then we don't even know for certain if there will be a falling ice attack!"

It makes sense that the squid was voted to avoid iceologer, but how did the squid make it into the second round in the first place? What's wrong with the moobloom?

I didnt vote for a new mob but if I did I would have voted for the Iceologer over the rest because unlike the rest of the mobs we already had a good idea what the Iceloger would bring to the game. Now I personally would have loved to see a hostile mob that can float/walk on water and climb up cliffs because for me that would be a smart choice to make for a new mob design for a Cave and Cliff update.
Now here comes the rant. At the end of the day It should have been obvious what is going to happen with the glow squid after all we all have already seen it happen once before. Which brings me to my next question, What kind of unique game play will the Glow Squid going to bring to the game, glow in the dark ink? For me the writing is on the wall, the Glow squid will not live up to the hype and is going to be to cumbersome to bring any actual fun improvement to the game and everyone will see how once again the Dev Team will force themselves to create some kind of mandatory item/mechanic that will be central around the glow squid for it not to be seen as a insignificant assets to the game just like what they did with the Phantom. Now will the glow squid be a phantom 2.0 well that is not for me to decide, the player who actually play and love this game will look back and decide that themselve
Other then that if it wasnt obvious before what is happening in this game it should be obvious now, There are people who only have eyes to see Minecraft as a giant money making machine and when that flow of money is gone so too will the same thing will happen to them. Dont let these Social Media Influncers ruin another game, stop watching their content. they're using you to make money while tarnishing the game with their terrible decisions and unoriginal content.
These social Media influncers are the kinds of people that would love to influence everyone that somehow everyone voted for a Dirt Hut over a Giant Pyramid for a New Generated Structure to be added to Minecraft if it meant that millions of dollars can be made off controversy that came out from such a decision form the views and clicks which is that the kind of game their playing to play you the viewer to buy into their insane reality.

Whew, I'm glad I didn't need anyone to influence my vote.
Don't you think that first part is wrong though? That we knew more about the iceologer than the other two (Almost like they wanted everyone to vote iceologer anyway?) I'm sure Ptolemy2002 will bring up with how they were already in Minecraft Earth, because of course we all have every version of Minecraft, but that falls on the devs during the came pain for only saying so much about the moobloom and even less about the glows quid in comparison.
I did end up having to try and look up Minecraft Earth videos for each of those mobs before voting , especially the iceologer; but it's still in pretty poor judgement of the devs IMO with being so vague about the other two reguardless. In the end, there's so much content with the new caves and cliffs coming isn't about time we just accepted the loss and look forward to what's coming without all this "Rigging" and "re-vote" nonsense.

I actually wasn't going to say anything this time, but I guess I'll defend myself since you called me out. You don't need to own these Minecraft versions in order to be informed about the mobs - There's already information out there about them. There are wiki pages for the moobloom, iceologer, and glow squid that tell you literally all you need to know (though it doesn't say anything about bees since they aren't in Minecraft Earth yet). It's not like people thought these were original ideas - It couldn't have been more clear that the mobs were from other games in the article, so they don't have to rewrite what's already readily available out there. You just have to go out and find it.
It's also not like they weren't vague about the iceologer. They still gave relatively little information - Just a little bit more than the other two.
It's also worth noting that since most the Minecraft Earth mobs are designed to be variants or collectibles, there isn't very much to say about them at all. There are countless retextures like the glow squid implemented (see this tweet, which is 100% accurate to the game). Even the wiki page for the glow squid is incredibly short because it does almost literally nothing.
If they wanted to add mobs from Minecraft Earth, I would have most liked a tropical slime, serving as a kind of living water source (they're also afraid of buckets) and allowing for aquatic life storage, portable fishing, etc. Other good choices would have been melon golem or skeleton wolf. These are some of the few Minecraft Earth mobs that actually have some interesting behavior mechanics and would affect the game instead of just being a retexture.

First off, I don't know if you realize this, but twitter is not exactly the most optimal place to have and hold any form of voting when it comes to the user base voting decision as history has shown. There is loads of evidence that exist within other games that have walked down this same road and the results generated were more cause for concern then what the vast user base and game devs was expected to have be delivered. The fact is the problems that exist today now because of social media... Got an extra Account you have a Extra vote, when you have 100,000 Extra Accounts you have 100,000 Extra Votes, and when you have that many tentacles at the disposal the better chances you have at Manipulating the Vote to go your desired way.
The fact is The Entire Minecraft Community is who the one who losses. I personally believe it should be simple to understand how the Mob Vote is illegitimate in how it is not a true measurement of the general consensuses of what the Minecraft player base and besides it's not like minecraft is the only game that has experienced this problem. These other games that have went down this same road letting the user base decide to vote what will have happen next in the game quickly saw how a small group of players can influence the overall vote with bots when done on these platforms. These kind of actions that take place undermines the primary intentions of the vote the game devs seek out.
If anything it should be easy to see that lots of creative development was put into the Icologer and Moobloom, however, I think the same cannot be said for the Glow Squid. My best guess is that 0.01% of creative development went into the glow squid and as many have pointed out before it is basically a retextured Squid, not really the most exciting mob in the game plus we can already get a feel for it being in the game before the 1.17 update is released.
Other then that Will the glow squid be the end of minecraft, maybe not, but I guess we will haft to wait and see. Maybe the glow squid and the stick will be essential components in crafting the new item that nobody knew they voted for The Glow Stick, but if the glow squid truly does end of being a Phantom 2.0 at least we know squids have about nine brains, you know.

I've already added my voice t that one. When Mojang reached out on twitter as to how they can making the polling for mob voting better each yeah I already lended my voice and said asked if there was anyway not to just limit it to twitter but other means. Whether my voice gets heard among the many remains to be seen, but I am alreasy in agreement there of not just limiting voting to social media.

I just think there's been too much of an over-reaction to this when some didn't get their way. I re-iterrate that isn't it about time we just accepted what happenned and look forward to what's coming with the huge content boost with the new caves and cliffs . Reguardless I have seen some of the most disgusting and toxic behaviour on Discord during the live event that has brought out the worst in the Minecraft community.

Did anyone notice how, during the Glow squid trailer, they showed multiple features that were never even mentioned otherwise (like submarines, scuba gear, and mesmerization effects), and the video still seemed incredibly repetitive and uninteresting? It's like they needed to add all that random stuff just to ramp up the trailer time because they didn't have any legitimate features to help them do that. Then, they avoided discussing anything about that mob for the rest of the stream, almost as if they had nothing to talk about.

The Minecraft earth developers just announced a new variant of the moobloom, making it slightly more desirable to vote for on the basis that alternate variants could be added in the future (thus making the mob more useful). Kind of strange how they didn't mention this possibility before the vote, but I don't think such information would have changed my vote. It might sway some others, though.

I wasn't too surprised that the glowsquid won the vote. Incoming possibly offensive opinion: You guys forget that a huge portion of this game's players are very young children. Put a vote in front of them and make only one of the options a glowing thing, and guess which one they're going to vote for? They're not capable of thinking about the nuance of what the options actually will be likely to add to the game. If one of them is literally shinier than the rest, that's where the vote goes.
Also, the vote was rigged against the iceologer from the start, because as previously mentioned, people were scared after what happened at the last mob vote with the phantom. As illogical as that is, it's still a reason.
Now as for what the squid adds, the only thing I can think of is that it will make searching for ink WAY easier, which is a welcome change. Hopefully there's at least one new item the glow squid will drop to justify its existence further, but I'm not really holding my breath.

I made this whole argument to one person about how the falling ice attack would have either been too slow to hit consistently and therefore make iceologers a pushover or fast enough that players have little chance of dodging it and how an enemy with a ranged attack that deals damage nearly every time it was used wouldn't be a fun combat mechanic, even if it was a unique one.

SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.

It makes sense that the squid was voted to avoid iceologer, but how did the squid make it into the second round in the first place? What's wrong with the moobloom?
Remember those versions that minecraft pranked us with? Specifically:
Those are still downloadable! Watch this video for 2.0:

To download the other ones you need to make a folder in the versions folder for minecraft and put the client and JSON file for the versions in there. They all need to be named the same aside from file extensions. Once you do that, you will be able to choose that version when making a new profile with the minecraft launcher.

I didnt vote for a new mob but if I did I would have voted for the Iceologer over the rest because unlike the rest of the mobs we already had a good idea what the Iceloger would bring to the game. Now I personally would have loved to see a hostile mob that can float/walk on water and climb up cliffs because for me that would be a smart choice to make for a new mob design for a Cave and Cliff update.
Now here comes the rant. At the end of the day It should have been obvious what is going to happen with the glow squid after all we all have already seen it happen once before. Which brings me to my next question, What kind of unique game play will the Glow Squid going to bring to the game, glow in the dark ink? For me the writing is on the wall, the Glow squid will not live up to the hype and is going to be to cumbersome to bring any actual fun improvement to the game and everyone will see how once again the Dev Team will force themselves to create some kind of mandatory item/mechanic that will be central around the glow squid for it not to be seen as a insignificant assets to the game just like what they did with the Phantom. Now will the glow squid be a phantom 2.0 well that is not for me to decide, the player who actually play and love this game will look back and decide that themselve
Other then that if it wasnt obvious before what is happening in this game it should be obvious now, There are people who only have eyes to see Minecraft as a giant money making machine and when that flow of money is gone so too will the same thing will happen to them. Dont let these Social Media Influncers ruin another game, stop watching their content. they're using you to make money while tarnishing the game with their terrible decisions and unoriginal content.
These social Media influncers are the kinds of people that would love to influence everyone that somehow everyone voted for a Dirt Hut over a Giant Pyramid for a New Generated Structure to be added to Minecraft if it meant that millions of dollars can be made off controversy that came out from such a decision form the views and clicks which is that the kind of game their playing to play you the viewer to buy into their insane reality.
Whew, I'm glad I didn't need anyone to influence my vote.
Don't you think that first part is wrong though? That we knew more about the iceologer than the other two (Almost like they wanted everyone to vote iceologer anyway?) I'm sure Ptolemy2002 will bring up with how they were already in Minecraft Earth, because of course we all have every version of Minecraft, but that falls on the devs during the came pain for only saying so much about the moobloom and even less about the glows quid in comparison.
I did end up having to try and look up Minecraft Earth videos for each of those mobs before voting , especially the iceologer; but it's still in pretty poor judgement of the devs IMO with being so vague about the other two reguardless. In the end, there's so much content with the new caves and cliffs coming isn't about time we just accepted the loss and look forward to what's coming without all this "Rigging" and "re-vote" nonsense.

I actually wasn't going to say anything this time, but I guess I'll defend myself since you called me out. You don't need to own these Minecraft versions in order to be informed about the mobs - There's already information out there about them. There are wiki pages for the moobloom, iceologer, and glow squid that tell you literally all you need to know (though it doesn't say anything about bees since they aren't in Minecraft Earth yet). It's not like people thought these were original ideas - It couldn't have been more clear that the mobs were from other games in the article, so they don't have to rewrite what's already readily available out there. You just have to go out and find it.
It's also not like they weren't vague about the iceologer. They still gave relatively little information - Just a little bit more than the other two.
It's also worth noting that since most the Minecraft Earth mobs are designed to be variants or collectibles, there isn't very much to say about them at all. There are countless retextures like the glow squid implemented (see this tweet, which is 100% accurate to the game). Even the wiki page for the glow squid is incredibly short because it does almost literally nothing.
If they wanted to add mobs from Minecraft Earth, I would have most liked a tropical slime, serving as a kind of living water source (they're also afraid of buckets) and allowing for aquatic life storage, portable fishing, etc. Other good choices would have been melon golem or skeleton wolf. These are some of the few Minecraft Earth mobs that actually have some interesting behavior mechanics and would affect the game instead of just being a retexture.

First off, I don't know if you realize this, but twitter is not exactly the most optimal place to have and hold any form of voting when it comes to the user base voting decision as history has shown. There is loads of evidence that exist within other games that have walked down this same road and the results generated were more cause for concern then what the vast user base and game devs was expected to have be delivered. The fact is the problems that exist today now because of social media... Got an extra Account you have a Extra vote, when you have 100,000 Extra Accounts you have 100,000 Extra Votes, and when you have that many tentacles at the disposal the better chances you have at Manipulating the Vote to go your desired way.
The fact is The Entire Minecraft Community is who the one who losses. I personally believe it should be simple to understand how the Mob Vote is illegitimate in how it is not a true measurement of the general consensuses of what the Minecraft player base and besides it's not like minecraft is the only game that has experienced this problem. These other games that have went down this same road letting the user base decide to vote what will have happen next in the game quickly saw how a small group of players can influence the overall vote with bots when done on these platforms. These kind of actions that take place undermines the primary intentions of the vote the game devs seek out.
If anything it should be easy to see that lots of creative development was put into the Icologer and Moobloom, however, I think the same cannot be said for the Glow Squid. My best guess is that 0.01% of creative development went into the glow squid and as many have pointed out before it is basically a retextured Squid, not really the most exciting mob in the game plus we can already get a feel for it being in the game before the 1.17 update is released.
Other then that Will the glow squid be the end of minecraft, maybe not, but I guess we will haft to wait and see. Maybe the glow squid and the stick will be essential components in crafting the new item that nobody knew they voted for The Glow Stick, but if the glow squid truly does end of being a Phantom 2.0 at least we know squids have about nine brains, you know.
I've already added my voice t that one. When Mojang reached out on twitter as to how they can making the polling for mob voting better each yeah I already lended my voice and said asked if there was anyway not to just limit it to twitter but other means. Whether my voice gets heard among the many remains to be seen, but I am alreasy in agreement there of not just limiting voting to social media.
I just think there's been too much of an over-reaction to this when some didn't get their way. I re-iterrate that isn't it about time we just accepted what happenned and look forward to what's coming with the huge content boost with the new caves and cliffs . Reguardless I have seen some of the most disgusting and toxic behaviour on Discord during the live event that has brought out the worst in the Minecraft community.

Did anyone notice how, during the Glow squid trailer, they showed multiple features that were never even mentioned otherwise (like submarines, scuba gear, and mesmerization effects), and the video still seemed incredibly repetitive and uninteresting? It's like they needed to add all that random stuff just to ramp up the trailer time because they didn't have any legitimate features to help them do that. Then, they avoided discussing anything about that mob for the rest of the stream, almost as if they had nothing to talk about.

The Minecraft earth developers just announced a new variant of the moobloom, making it slightly more desirable to vote for on the basis that alternate variants could be added in the future (thus making the mob more useful). Kind of strange how they didn't mention this possibility before the vote, but I don't think such information would have changed my vote. It might sway some others, though.

I wasn't too surprised that the glowsquid won the vote. Incoming possibly offensive opinion: You guys forget that a huge portion of this game's players are very young children. Put a vote in front of them and make only one of the options a glowing thing, and guess which one they're going to vote for? They're not capable of thinking about the nuance of what the options actually will be likely to add to the game. If one of them is literally shinier than the rest, that's where the vote goes.
Also, the vote was rigged against the iceologer from the start, because as previously mentioned, people were scared after what happened at the last mob vote with the phantom. As illogical as that is, it's still a reason.
Now as for what the squid adds, the only thing I can think of is that it will make searching for ink WAY easier, which is a welcome change. Hopefully there's at least one new item the glow squid will drop to justify its existence further, but I'm not really holding my breath.
