Minecraft:Twitter

X, formerly and commonly known as Twitter, is an American microblogging and social networking service owned by X Corp.

This social media is used by some Minecraft:Mojang Studios developers and workers, independent Template:MC content creators, and by official Minecraft and Mojang accounts to share and post their creations, news, and updates on Minecraft's development.

Twitter is one of the main social media where Minecraft publish Minecraft:teasers and announcements for the Minecraft game and its franchise.

Usage by Mojang

In the past Twitter were used as one of the main direct communication channels between the developers and the community, as some devs would tweet there updates and teasers on future updates and people could directly ask them questions about the development.

Twitter were also used by Mojang to host the Minecraft:Biome Chooser and the Minecraft:Mob Vote between 2017 and 2021 before moving it to the launcher and Minecraft:Minecraft.net.

Between 2020 and 2022, Xbox released custom hashtag emojis<ref group="note">Also known as Hashmojis or Hashflags.</ref> on Twitter to advertise Minecraft:Minecraft LIVE and other events.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref><ref>Template:Tweet</ref><ref>Template:Tweet</ref>

Community Votes

In 2016, Minecraft:Jens Bergensten ran a poll on Twitter asking players to decide whether to name their new mob a Minecraft:llama or Template:W.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> Ultimately, the llama won out.

Beginning in 2017, Minecraft:Community Votes would be held to determine upcoming features, such as new Minecraft:mobs or Minecraft:biomes. These would be hosted through Twitter polls up until 2022, when they were replaced by the Minecraft:event servers Minecraft:2022 Mob Vote Event and Minecraft:2023 Mob Vote Event.

Marketplace

Several releases on the Minecraft:Marketplace mention the Twitter platform, often promoting the accounts of the developers. These include Minecraft:Catastrophic Pandamonium, Minecraft: The Mountain, Minecraft:Grid Runners, and Minecraft:Minecon Live: Rush Race!
