Next potential Minecraft mob will make my farming life so much easier

Minecraft is getting a new mob – but it's up to you and the community to decide which option makes the cut. Mojang's revealed two potential critters so far, and there's a clear winner (in my opinion) that could be a game-changer for farming.

The community will decide in the annual Minecraft Mob Vote which of three contenders should be added to the game.

Never again will you have to spend countless nights searching for elusive watermelon seeds or stockpiling pumpkins. I can see myself building a very useful automatic Sniffer farm in the future that would mean I'd never run out of any seeds again.

Mojang also hinted that if the Sniffer is voted in, we may see more plant life and seeds added. As someone who is a sucker for creating farms, I’m already getting the new garden plots sorted in hopes of some additions to my automatic food production.

But you aren’t only going to need your swimming trunks to find a Sniffer egg. Since they spawn in underwater ruins, you’ll be swimming with the
