Event
The event was conceived by Notch after he expressed interest in a meet-up in a blog post<ref>Template:Citation</ref> and called on the community to organize it without specifying a venue.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Notch was already in the area visiting the offices of Valve Software.<ref>Template:Citation</ref> Although Notch referred to it as "MinecraftCon 2010," the event was more of an informal gathering than a traditional gaming or anime convention.
A thread on the Minecraft:Minecraft Forum<ref>Template:Citation</ref> served as an unofficial hub for organizing the event, with attendees sharing YouTube videos and photos afterward.<ref>Template:Reddit</ref>
Over 50 people attended the gathering, including one fan in a full-body Minecraft:creeper costume,<ref>[[Minecraft::File:Creeper costume at MINECON 2010.jpg]]</ref> which caught Notch's attention.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20100904042025/http://picasaweb.google.com/Ubercow1337/MinecraftCon2010#</ref> Notch discussed his future plans for Minecraft<ref>Template:Reddit</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref> and addressed the recent popularity of Minecraft:Herobrine.<ref>Template:Ytl</ref> Several attendees livestreamed the event or uploaded recorded footage to YouTube.
