Minecraft Live 2020 Online Event Announced For October 3rd

Mojang has announced Minecraft Live, the 2020 installment of their annual Minecraft live show.

The event will be hosted entirely online, and will air via Minecraft.net/Live on October 3rd 2020. A trailer for the event was also shared, which you can find below along with some additional details.

Well, well, well. It’s that time of year again. No, I am not referring to my annual workout. That was last week, and I can assure you that I will be making it a biennial affair from now on. Obviously I can only be talking about one thing: Minecraft Live! Tune in on October 3 at 12 EST on Minecraft.net/Live for what the Minecraft Live team are not-so-humbly calling “an event that will happen”!
Did that trailer not explain what Minecraft Live is? Well, it shouldn’t have to. That’s what this post is for, allegedly. Minecraft Live is the new version of our annual live show, which has had many names such as MINECON Live and MINECON Earth. Why the name change? Would you ask rap superstar and underrated actor Sean Combs a.k.a P. Diddy a.a.k.a Puff Daddy that? No, you would not. What you will do instead is tune in to Minecraft Live on October 3rd at 12 EST to get answers to pertinent questions about what the rest of Mojang Studios have been working on all year. Will Seanothy and I be there? Maybe. I need to check our schedule.

The Minecraft Live team begged me to focus on the actual event, so I guess I better mention what you can expect. The main thing you need to know is that this year the celebration takes place online. Due to the impact of Covid-19, Mojang Studios has delayed Minecraft Festival until 2022 and will no longer be involved with official community events. Until then, we’re going to bring the party directly to your device and we’ve got all of our usual goodies lined up for you! Join us on Minecraft.net/Live for updates, mob votes, news, and delightful banter. Oh, and chickens. Lots and lots of chickens.
