Previously, people could vote for a new mob each year. It was constantly made fun of because either the mobs people could vote for were so tepid they didn't care or they were all so interesting people were annoyed they couldn't all be added. Couple this with people claiming that the "worst" option was picked after each vote, and that the mob vote replaced what used to be a yearly "biome vote" (which was like the mob vote, but significantly bigger in scale and much more liked by the community), and the mob vote was never especially popular (though it did help the community feel engaged with the game to a greater degree).

A mob, for those unfamiliar, is another word for a monster or (typically hostile) NPC in a game.

In Minecraft, it just refers to any non-human living creature.
