Minecraft LIVE (formerly MINECON Earth and Minecraft:MINECON Live) is a multiannual livestreamed event that features news about Minecraft:Minecraft updates and other aspects of the franchise. The official Minecraft Live web page is available at minecraft.net/live. Prior to 2025, the event took place annually.

There is often a pre-show and an aftershow, with the latter being called The Deep Dig.

Format

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 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.
  • Livestreams became more brief, focusing primarily on franchise updates and announcements.

2024

  • Introduced an overhauled, scripted format taking place at Minecraft:Mojang Studios H.Q. in Stockholm, Sweden.
  • Livestreams are prerecorded and run for around an 1 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.

2025 – May 2026

  • A new aftershow, 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.

May 2026

Template:Main

  • This will be the first Minecraft Live to mark the return of an actual live broadcast since Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2022, following the switch to pre-recorded form beginning with Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2023.
    • Consequently this will be 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 will be 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 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>

Incident

2026

Before the community artwork pre-show and after the intermission screen, the Mojang Studios screen remained frozen for approximately 30 seconds.

After the reveal of Minecraft:A Minecraft Movie Squared, the livestream feed on YouTube unexpectedly crashed. However, the livestream feed on Twitch and the vertical version on YouTube remained operational. The livestream was later cut and re-uploaded on YouTube.

2022

The pre-show started 6 minutes late, beginning on Template:LocalizedTime rather than its scheduled start time (Template:LocalizedTime). 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.
