Event

Community Pre-Show

There was a 20-minute Community Pre-Show right before the main event which consisted of content creators expressing about Minecraft.

Update announcement

Like Minecraft:MINECON Live 2019, there was an announcement relating to the next major update, similarly to how the Minecraft:Nether Update was announced at Minecraft:MINECON Live 2019, with other major updates in the years before. Unlike the last years though, the announcement was held at the beginning of the show. The update that was announced was Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs.

The logo for the Mob Vote

Mobs from Template:El and Template:El were voted on to be added to Minecraft:Minecraft. For the second time, watchers were able to vote for a new Minecraft:mob to be added into the game in a future update. The first time this happened was in Minecraft:MINECON Earth 2017.

Each mob received its own video justifying its inclusion.

The mobs that were on the vote were the Minecraft:moobloom, Minecraft:iceologer, and the Minecraft:glow squid.<ref>Template:Mcnet</ref>

• Mooblooms would spawn in Minecraft:flower forests and would interact with bees in some way. Minecraft:Buttercups would also be added.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref> They debuted in Minecraft:Minecraft Earth.
• Iceologers would spawn in mountains and hurl ice clouds at the player.
• Glow Squids would spawn in the Minecraft:ocean in dark areas, illuminating them. Their texture would glow like an Minecraft:Enderman's eyes, but not actually emit light.

The mobs that lost the mob vote are shelved indefinitely, and may or may not be added in the future.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
