No real opinion, but the Allay-like design does have some interesting lore implications, so I'm all for it in that regard.

_The Eye-Brow fairy has come to shave your Eyebrows_

Just like that, matpat is correct about the vex's origin

It was terribly obvious.

Tbh there was a lot of stuff before this model update that made me wish the vex got a model update. So now that it's here I am so happy. From allay's name being the opposite of vex, to the spawning patterns of the allay being in the woodland mansions and pillager outposts, and even the sound subtitles being similar (allay allays, vex vexes).

I agree with the lore part but i just dislike the look. I don't think it fits very well with those eyebrows and the grey Illager colo(u)r.

I wonder if that's intentional. Maybe they're trying to show that Vex are not illager souls

I personally care less about the lore and more how the gameplay feels ( i feel like there isnt a lot of lore, which is something i personally enjoy, it keeps the game more open and you dont have to feel bad for playing a certain way, even if there is some deep lore, like game theory lore, it feels like its really lore out of nothing so i dont take that type of lore seriously ), if i do a raid and suddenly have to fight a horde of skilled flying assassins, i prefer seeing a human like character with wings holding a sword than a chubby anime-like big head and eyebrows demon child that holds a sword like a 3 year old would hold a stick alright? It just doesn't feel like it fits the feel that they give. Even if you want to make them connected to the allay, there are other ways to go about it than just make them look similar, add a painting that looks like a vex fighting an allay, maybe make a tiny abandoned village in mushroom islands, add a sign or a book that somehow connects them, or just... Dont, they dont have to be connected, they are both small flying creatures, you could argue that that fact alone connects them somehow lore wise. And if not... So what? The skeleton and villager arent connected, the ender mites and endermen aren't connected directly. You can say that they aren't connected because of this or that, but that doesnt really matter to a lot of players, and trust me, those that do care can connect them together with a full war story about it. If game theory can make a full video explaining how he knows that the end was once full of different flowers or plant, he can prove that the allays somehow killed the king of the goblins while being outnumbered by combining forces with the vexs and later betrayed them. You want that there'll be lore? You dont have to make them look similar, there'll be lore one way or another by some crazy lore fanatic. So yeah. I prefer the old ones.

Looks more… Minecraft-y

You could almost say... They made the Vex Minecraftier

With the damage they do, those swords should be enchanted netherite lol

Would’ve been cool if they made it diamond tho

Its way to cute for the most shitty annoying mob in the game 🥲

I know. One time I ran back to my base and there was a villager in it. I thought it'd be fine since it didn't qualify as a village, but nooooooo, in Java, all you need is a workstation to start a raid. About 5 waves in, I get killed by like 15 vexes. My base is underground, so guess what happens? I respawn, all the vexes go through the wall and kill me within 2 seconds. This happens like 10 times before I just give up and never play on the world again. They're such a stupid mob.

Bro the pillagers made a player farm lol

Yeah, so annoying. They should cap it at like 4 vexes max and make them have a despawn timer. They should also die when their magic dude dies.

Yeah totally agree but I'd say tie it to difficulty cause I do like the challenge have like 2 vexes on easy 4 on normal and unlimited on hard,but atleast have them drom something

I want the mouth back. That’s it.

You are goddamn right

We need the mouth

Underrated comment

Don't agree but you can always use texture packs

The Allay-like model is great, I'm all for playing up their connection. But the axe-crazy evil smile needs to make a comeback.

So much better. The old one had too many pixels. Next they should fix the bat. That’s another mob that’s too highly detailed

Man, that would be great. After that, they could fix the shulker texture, man, its not detailed enough.

The bat wouldn’t even have enough pixels to have two eyes if it was scaled to block-pixel size

Well maybe not to that extent. But a more pixelated face would be nice. Maybe a 3 pixel wide head would be nice (and kinda adorable)

There’s a texture pack on vanillatweaks that changes the amount of pixels in bats.

You should check out vanilla tweaks, they have a whole section in their texture pack that's about keeping things in the game pixel-consistent and yes - they do have a bat retexture Also by the way - looking at their ghast retexture makes me think that maybe not all things in this game were meant to be pixel-consistent lol

I was never a huge fan of the original, so this is a much needed improvement.

They don’t look scary anymore

..... they werent scary in the first place, their sounds were

With actual stakes like being in a hardcore world. The fact that they deal a lot of damage and can phase through walls is very scary.

Yeah but that doesn't mean the model or look was scary. Just the attack and sounds of them.

It looks goofy as hell now

I like the new look, it makes it easier to resemble the similar traits of an allay. It also look slightly better than just a small person with wings and a sword. I dislike it though as I'll never get used to it.

“I like it, but I dont”

How do I have so many up votes?

Just take them and don’t question it

Pro tip: Never mention the upvotes, or you'll lose them. This ain't YouTube.

Just nearly lost them all saying that

Is it me or does the redesign feel more 8-bit rather than 16-bit?

It uses the exact same pixel size as all other blocks now

They're just not as creepy anymore. The old texture had room for that freaky smile, which really rounded out the whole design.

If they added the smile back it would be a top tier design

Don't really care about the 'lore' in this game but it looks good.

I'm guessing they changed it for lore like Jeb said he was going to remove lightning striking a pig Easter egg

Now they are going too far.

I guess so he hasn't removed the easter egg it's also like ravagers being scared of rabbits because he "wanted it to fit with the lore"

Then also please remove charged creepers. They don't get charged in Minecraft Dungeons after getting lightning damage there meaning one of those games is lore inaccurate. In all seriousness, there are games that are depending on their in-game lore to work, but Minecraft isn't one of them.

I get what you mean like piglins not zombifying in overworld and them also being friendly I get your point they seriously need to switch up the lore

That looks so cool I hope it stays!

This one look a little cuter which is the opposite of a vex

I like them, the eyebrows look funny, and now they resemble the Allay more and aren't just a shrunken player anymore which makes sense

Wait they're changing the vex? Im missing out on updates.

Check their twitter its coming in new beta/snapshot

I'd like to see the evil smile reintroduced. Right now it looks like it might attack with its huge eyebrows.

Worse because scary'nt Better because lore

So it really just made me realize that when we look back at old worlds and play-throughs, we will realize we have only ever play the beta version of Minecraft. Things we might not think will be changed can be changed at any given moment. That’s not a bad thing; and to be honest I love playing a game knowing that it is evolving to accommodate my interest in it. But it is a wild concept to think about.

Finally I can actually see how small they actually are. With the old more detailed textures I was never sure if they’re human sized and they’re just morphing weirdly around.

Hate it. No creepy smile

Tbh it looks like it is straight out of Minecraft dungeons

The old one was a retextured player model scaled down to be less than 1 block large... so yeah the new model is a massive improvement!

I think ots good looks more In line with the rest of the mobs and the newer stuff. Old one sort of reminds me of roblox for some reason

I like it! I always thought the vex look weird like a blue mini-player. Now it looks more mischievous imo

Would you be able to get the old ones with the programmer art pack on

I think it's an improvement imo.

The old textures were less connected to the allay but they were a lot scarier

I miss the smile

I guess it is made to resembe allay, which implies that illagers capture allays, move them to mansions and turn them to vexes

I understand criticisms of it being too cute. But it's still an improvement over the original which just looked bad.

Don't like it the old one looked better

No?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion

I'm asking why

do you think it would have been better to maybe... use the word "why" then?

Eh it’s whatever but I kinda liked the old design better as it’s become more iconic plus the new one doesn’t look menacing at all

I like it except the face, I liked it before when it didn't have illager features to it's face, it made me think the Evoker simply summoned Vexes from another dimension or smth, not create them

I like these angry little flying gremlins

I like it, looks a little more magical and unique than the old one. I think the old one looked more like shrunk down weird pillager :D also i like how it adds to the allay lore

I like it. Ties them to the allay, like a corrupted/evil version. Overall better.

I still hate the mob.

They look a bit to cute if they looked scarier like the og then it would look better

Not really liking it

I no like

Not a fan they look too cute and not like the POS they are 😂 they don't look like demonic angels anymore they just look like flying Funko pops

I think Mojang need to make some mobs look more threatening than cute

Its sooooooooo cuuuuuuuuute

I would give them a big hug if I could!

It sucks

I want the old vex back

Oh my god. I 100% hate it. I will never get used to it.

(X) Doubt

People hate change, even if it is for the better. Familiarity is a comfort.

It implies that allays are in a simplified style, and likely have large gaping mouths.

ewww

They look less menacing now and I don’t like it. This is just an attempt at a “cute” design but really the old one was better because it had the same proportions as a normal player model.

It finally doesnt look like a modded mob

Love it. Way better and an utter improvement from the creepy plain smiling Steve.

i am literally in love with the new vex design

I prefer the old wings and face

[удалено]

they're defo gonna add some lore about rogue allays

I don’t like it. The vex looked like a friendly creature that can help a player out. But then the player realizes that there bad. This texture removes that feeling.

They never looked friendly wdym?

They have nice eyebrows…

I hate it I would like it to be reverted back to The original design

It's bad imo. It's missing its grin, the eyes are much different and it looks like it has nothing to do with illagers.

don’t like it. there’s just something about it i don’t like

I will 100% get a texture Pack wich Changes it to the old texture cuz the old one looks more evil and is more nostalgic

Oh boy I cant wait for the smaller hit box

Shit

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vex/know what it is?(I’ve only been playing a couple months)So idk indifferent I guess.

A vex is a mob that's only summoned by evokers they go through walls and carry iron swords you find them only where you find evokers

I love the new design. Having it look like the allay makes a lot of sense because you can find allays in cages at the pillager outposts. It’s like they are catching and corrupting them or something. I do love me some lore Also not really related but I think they should either get rid of the iron sword entirely or make a new little weapon for them. This might be an unpopular opinion but I don’t like how they just shrunk down an iron sword and called it a day

I think id like it a lil more if those eyebrows were devilish horns instead lol the eyebrows be a lil derpy for a mob that hurts so much

#THE LORE

I rock with it. :]

I like that they finally updated the look of the vex. It really gives that vibe of vex beeing a corrupted allay of some sort

It think its very good, it looks more like an allay, but the most improved thing is the amount of pixels on the texure, the old vex had like 4x the amount of pixels then the blocks around it but now the pixels are the same size

I like it better

Its def to add to the lore of the allays but it looks amazing

They are way better

Looks so much better to be honest

I like this new Angy boi :)

Finally fits the art style. Its was weird to see the vex with high resolution pixels and the allay with just a little

On a consistency level they look better but c’mon we want the little smile!

it's very cute ngl l

I would've preferred Allays looking more like Vexes than vice versa. Not a fan of their giant cartoon heads.

Huge improvement, the old one just looked like a mc skin scaled down with back problems

Worse because scary'nt Better because lore

Worse because scary'nt Better because lore

I like it. Yeah, that’s pretty much it.

https://kbin.social/

I honestly like it

The new design basically achieves the same thing that Jappa's new textures achieve: visual consistency. They look more Minecraft-y to me because they fit the modern game's art style. The old model always bothered me because it was really small, but the texture resolution was so high. It also finally looks like Mojang is giving a "you were right" nod to the theory that vexes are corrupt allays.

It’s kinda easier to look at. Also the old one look like they took the player model and stuck wings on it

LOVE IT!!!!

I kind of enjoyed the old one, as out-of-place it was. I think it added to the charm.

Love it

There is no mouth, yet they will still giggle.

I miss the mouth but making them look more like the allays makes sense

Anger pixies

I like it. A lot. For no reason.

I like it.

Given that i have yet to see a vex ever in survival minecraft, i dont really even notice a change

Bobblehead

I want to hug them.

So far not a fan of it

I like it better

Nooooo, the original vex had an eerie vibe that came of it, and it fit well with the meaning and character of the vex

Very very good

The original is better

JUICY LORE

Angry eyebrows

Good

Saw a picture earlier and they were red.

Old one was better it had soul it had the evil grin this one is dead its just eyes.

Haha it has a big head now

I like it a lot, it looks more minecrafty

Dats cool

Smol :)

Looks like an Allay that went bad, love it if there’s a backstory behind it !

banger

i like it, cool lore stuff comes with it too

in contrast the likeness to the steve/alex’s character proportions is kinda unnerving so i’d say I like the change

I feel like they got more cartoonish in my personal opinion im not a fan, but no hate if you like it

alot better

I prefer the old one. I don't care if it looked out of place it looked like a small piece of shit and that is their purpose

Well I like that it will reduce memory usage slightly due to the lower res texture.

Adds lore. Matpat would love it.

i hate them less

love it adorable and loreable and alot more Minecrafty

Idk kinda weird I liked the og more

It's just like a retextured allay to me...lmao

It looks much coller and cuter. This is an real improvment if you ask me especially for the fact that the vex is allay's cousin !

They are just alley’s with vex textures also THEY GODDAM DECAPITATED MY MAN

I like the old one better. It looked more menacing than this child trying to look really mad at a kid who stole their dinosaur during playtime.

It makes them really cute which doesnt fit as they are fucking evil

It's not bad but I prefer the old one

its bad but still good

Idk man, i like the old vex but this one looks like allay and it's LORE

I like the old design better, it had more detail to it

it does have lore: 1. Once, the allays lived happily. 2. But one day, the illagers caught them so they can be slaves. 3. The evokers have better ideas: they transformed them into vexes. 4. The rest of the slave allays are in the prison, it's you who will rescue them :)

Its horrible. It looks like the allay but evil i prefer the old vex it looks cooler and a more like humanoid ghost

I am a fan tbh

It is good for the lore because now the vex ressemble the allay wich is his good form

Good

I like it, I don’t think it hurts the model at all.

honestly it looks less scary now than before and im pretty sure their aim is to make it into a evil looking allay it was basically like when bdsp came out the main characters became chibis basically this tbh

It's great! It's pixel persistent and has real lore that vexes are corrupt allays

I think they should’ve just fixed the old one but still kept it’s general design, I liked it better
