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:MINECON was broadcast live globally for the first time with MINECON Earth, allowing people from around the world to tune in.

2019

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.
  • 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.

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.

May 2026

Template:Main

  • 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.
