A few months ago, Minecraft players gathered in the community to this way put Capybara at the top of the list of new Minecraft creatures, second only to the creatures that Mojang has announced for joining.
01
Current support rating for "capybaras" in the Minecraft community:
In fact, so far "Capybaras" has indeed done just that. With the support of a large number of players, capybara has now become the most voted in the official Minecraft feedback community, second only to the announced new creatures. In other words, if Mojang designs and introduces new creatures in order of support, capybaras will be the first to be prioritized. So with almost 19,000 votes on the feedback page, there's a good chance it will be part of the 1.20 update.

Capybara is a giant guinea pig rodent native to South America and currently the largest rodent in the world. The body is huge, usually about 1.3 meters long and 0.5 meters high. So if Capybara is introduced in Minecraft, it is expected that the size will be 2 blocks long and 1 block high.
Capybaras often inhabit vegetation-rich swamps, depressions close to the water surface, rivers, lakes, tropical rainforests and other ecology, and are good at swimming and diving. Capybaras are also social creatures, with 10-30 individuals in the same population. Therefore, almost all of the watery memes introduced into Minecraft can be used to spawn, and capybaras are mainly social generation, which may be the largest number of group kings ever Minecraft.
Capybaras are a type of captivary that can be consumed by humans as meat, and in parts of South America can even be used as a substitute for pigs, providing humans with the necessary meat food. So capybaras may also be a very good food in Minecraft, and its nutritional value is at least no less than that of pork.
Capybaras feed on aquatic plants, reeds, bark, fruits and vegetables, rice, sugar cane, melons and other plants in the real world, so capybaras are actually one of the harmful organisms, and one of the ways to eliminate harm is naturally to turn it into a plate. The upstream food chain of capybaras is usually tigers, crocodiles, pythons, cheetahs, wild dogs, vultures, foxes, wild cats and so on. It can be said that it is a creature very lower in the natural food chain. From this point of view, capybaras can actually perfectly cut into the food chain of "Minecraft", the downstream is boring Minecraft does not lack sugarcane, melons and fruits, crops, upstream of the food chain Minecraft does not lack wolves, ocelots and other creatures, of course, if Mojang is willing to add more new creatures is also popular with everyone.

What are the steps for Mojang to join a creature? (1) Design sketches, (2) Make material models, (3) Implement basic behavior, (4) Finally, add some interesting features. Needless to say, the design of the first three steps is probably the focus of our discussion is what unique characteristics will "capybara" have if it appears in Minecraft?
Many people may not know that capybara is actually a real Internet celebrity, with its "ugly" appearance has become the favorite object of countless people, and even in the animal kingdom is "everything can be a friend"! Because capybaras are vegetarian, you can run to graze with cows one moment and bleat with goats the next.
What's more strange is that capybaras are vegetarian and can eat, so its feces are the most delicious food for many vegetarian animals, imagine a group of small animals following capybaras, waiting for the arrival of "food".
So is it possible that players with capybaras can attract many animals to follow in disguise, and the smell of capybaras can even become delicious feed, speeding up the growth of small animals.
From this point of view, the addition of capybaras in Minecraft at 1.20 is actually a good choice, it will not have a huge impact on the overall survival, but it can meet the ardent expectations of most players, and it can also achieve the purpose of valuing the community, why not?
