**48 hours and fifteen minutes, to be exact!
What does that mean in your time zone? Find out what time the mob vote starts for you, and what time the mob vote ends for you (because too much math makes my head hurt). Voting will be open for longer this year, and you will have just over 48 hours** prior to Minecraft Live to cast your vote! Voting opens at 1pm EDT on Friday, October 13, and closes at 1:15pm EDT on Sunday, October 15. Now it has been sniff-sniffing around our Overworlds since the summer, digging up ancient seeds, and looking adorable.
Then the mob gets added into the game as part of the next major update! Last year's winner was the sniffer: an ancient mob that was once extinct. When you cast your vote for a new mob, you help us decide what we’ll spend time developing. That’s right, the mob vote is making a triumphant return this year, with three new mobs for you, our wonderful community, to choose between! Not only do we spend an hour talking about Minecraft (our favorite topic), but we dive into news from Minecraft and Minecraft: Legends share snippets of what you can expect in the future, and reveal the winner of the hotly anticipated mob vote! If you’ve never watched our epic, once-a-year livestream before, then you are in for a treat.
