Requesting a Jellyfish Mob

under review

UPDATE -  Because of all the votes, I've added concept designs for the mob to help developers visualize it! Willing to do my part to make this a reality.

---

Never posted here before, so please be gentle.

The recent Aquatic update is probably Minecraft's best yet, in my humble opinion. The new mobs, the added blocks, and best of all, the CLEAR WATER. I am very much looking forward to diving into everything this update has to offer.

So here is my request. In light of the droves of new water mobs that have popped up, I found myself feeling like it was all missing one tiny but nevertheless attractive mob idea - jellyfish! I mean, jellyfish ARE one of the most common sea creatures around, and if we have pufferfish, it stands to reason we could have the jellies.

The Minecraft team has brought us some supremely creative ideas for creatures roaming about our world, I mean we have dolphins that chase the player's boat and turtles that lay eggs in the sand. A jellyfish mob would be icing on the cake. Think about it - instead of just the squid, we now have a small, colorful, tentacled little guy with lots of potential for unique behavior. Maybe the player takes minor damage from its stingers when they bump into one. Maybe it has a glow-in-the-dark feature, or swims in clusters. Maybe the turtle mob naturally chases after them. It would be a beautiful edition to Minecraft aquariums and ocean worlds.

Why my enthusiasm for a possible jelly mob? Well, for the last 2 years I've been building a very, VERY large world as a gift for a special somebody of mine, who is an avid Minecraft fan. Her favorite animal is jellyfish. Her birthday is coming up in a couple months... and I thought that if some important Minecraft team member saw this message and graced it with a "yeah, let's do it!", it would be the ultimate gift for this ultimate gamer girl. If I could take her on a surprise tour of a jellyfish aquarium on her birthday, it would make her whole month. I would be eternally grateful if someone out there could lend a hand, lend a vote, and make this possible.

    wow this would be such a good implementation and would be very easy to add into the game there could be 4 variants like a small jelly medium jelly and a large jelly along with moon jellies and the size-based jellyfish could come in pastel primary colors like red blue yellow and even green and you should be able to pick them up in buckets.

    This is cool, but the jellyfish wouldn't help that much unless you could add more ocean biomes. You shoul also add twighlight zone, midnight zone, and other ocean zones like in real life so that the jellyfish could light up these zones. In the ocean's current state, jellyfish would not really light up the ocean because in the day, they wouldn't do anything to make the ocean lighter.

    They should’ve added these instead of glow squids, and then we could’ve got glowing signs using jellyfish tissue

    Okay, this is an A+ idea, but what if in the End Dimension, it can fly? Kinda like flying squids, but offical.

    Here's one more feature I suggest: Bucket of Jellyfish I think this would be cool if it has a somewhat glowing effect, and also if we could transport them into our aquariums.

    This mobs will be a great look for the recently added vibrant visual in Minecraft Bedrock Edition which gives good and nice environment in the ocean with this mob. Hopefully this mob will be consider to be added soon or later. And also hope Mojang Team still looking forward to this idea as it's been a lot time suggestion and over 13 thousand + voted for this mob to be consider and many community of Minecraft player seems to like this concept art for this mob. Hope Mojang Team reply to this post about any update that have been made or discuss. Thank you very much for reading this comment. Happy New Year 2026.
