Minecraft Live

2020 – 2021
  • MINECON Live was renamed to its current name, Minecraft Live.
  • Initially planned as a live event running alongside Minecraft:Minecraft Festival, but the latter was delayed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  
  • Livestreams often ran for about 1-2 hours and still performed live, but without an audience due to the pandemic.
  • Content included previews of new updates, behind-the-scenes insights, Q&A sessions, and news from the Minecraft franchise.

2022

  • Updates were shared incrementally to address past mistakes, offering a glimpse into the progress rather than complete plans upfront.

2023

  • Transitioned from live performance to a pre-recorded show, but still acting like a live performance. However, the livestream was still controlled live, rather than being a pre-recorded and edited video that was later broadcast as a livestream.
  • Livestreams became more brief, focusing primarily on franchise updates and announcements.

2024

  • Fully switched to a pre-recorded show.
  • Introduced an overhauled, scripted format taking place at Minecraft:Mojang Studios H.Q. in Stockholm, Sweden.

    • Additionally this was also the first Minecraft Live to be broadcasted live from a convention since Minecraft:MINECON 2016, that were held at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Developer speakers

According to Minecraft:Ulraf, the developers that make an appearance at a given Minecraft LIVE to announce new features are usually the developers of said features, though occasionally this isn't the case to give different developers the opportunity to appear.<ref> https://youtu.be/2cxUNoWNy50?t=8767</ref>
