MINECON Earth / MINECON Live
- Initially organized as live events filmed in front of an audience featuring guest appearances, interactive audience participation, diverse panels, and mini-games.
- Locations varied, with the events held in different parts of the world.
- Livestreams often ran for about 1-3 hours.
2017 – 2018
- Minecraft:MINECON was broadcast live globally for the first time with MINECON Earth, allowing people from around the world to tune in.
2019
- MINECON Earth was renamed to MINECON Live, clarifying its distinction from the new spinoff game, Minecraft:Minecraft Earth.
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.
- Livestreams now offered a simultaneous livestream in American Sign Language for deaf people.
- In 2021 a simultaneous livestream with Audio Descriptions were introduced for blind persons.
2022
- Community votes shifted from X (formerly Twitter) to official platforms like the Minecraft:Minecraft Launcher, Minecraft:minecraft.net, and annual Bedrock Edition live event servers, expanding accessibility.
- 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.
- Livestreams are prerecorded and run for around an hour; the main show is a half hour.
- Minecraft:Lydia Winters made her final appearance as host before departing from Mojang Studios in October 2024.
- Community votes were retired from Minecraft Live.
- Livestreams now offered a simultaneous livestream in British Sign Language for british deafs.
- Consequently now the livestreams that offered ASL, BSL, and Audio Descriptions are unlisted, being public first before and when the livestream is on but then after they're unlisted from the youtube channel, being only avaliable to watch through the links in the original Live's description.
2025 – present
- Minecraft Live is officially styled as "Minecraft LIVE".
- A new after-show, The Deep Dig, was introduced, featuring Minecraft:Vu Bui as the host and Minecraft developers and creators discussing and showcasing the new features. Following Lydia Winters quitting Mojang Studios, there is no longer a designated host for the main show.
- Minecraft LIVE is now a biannual event, with 2 shows a year in spring and fall.
- The community pre-show was shortened from around 30 minutes to 15 minutes.
- The format emphasized delivering updates and announcements for the Minecraft franchise.
May 2026
- It was described as a "bonus" and "special" Minecraft Live event, and was held live at Minecraft:TwitchCon Rotterdam 2026.
- This was the first Minecraft LIVE to mark the return of an actual live broadcast since Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2022 (albeit a very small section), following the switch to pre-recorded form beginning with Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2023.
- Consequently this was also the first Minecraft Live to be an in-person live show since MINECON Live 2019, being held at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
- 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.
Community Vote
Template:MainThe Community Vote was an annual event and community poll that took place during or just before Minecraft LIVE events.
It allowed viewers to vote for a new Minecraft:mob or Minecraft:biome to be added to the game in a future update.
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> Template:YouTube link</ref>
Incidents
2022
The pre-show started 6 minutes late, beginning at 15:36 UTC rather than its scheduled start time of 15:30 UTC. During the delay, the intermission screen's audio was cut unexpectedly, then the Minecraft Live theme song began playing for 3 seconds and then cut unexpectedly again.
