Last year’s plan for an in-person Minecraft Festival was scrapped in March 2020 because, as you have no doubt already guessed, of the Covid-19 pandemic. Instead, fans were treated to Minecraft Live, an online event that ran in October of that year. Today Mojang announced its return to the site in 2021, with “juicy Minecraft News,” chats with content creators and an online community that will “actually influence” the game.

The show will start at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET/5 PM BT or your local equivalent on Oct 16th. (There’s a map below if that’s not clear) and will be streamed live on the official Minecraft Facebook, YouTube and Twitch accounts as well as minecraft.net.

Mojang stated that the guest list included familiar faces from Mojang Studios and our incredible community. “Mojang also added that there may be a surprise or two.” You will find juicy reveals, in-depth interviews, thrilling reveals, a nail biting vote and puns galore on the menu. Sending positive vibes instead of gift will ensure that the power doesn’t get cut.

Mojang stated that more information will be released closer to the event date. However, one thing I expect to figure largely in the Minecraft 1.18 update. This update is the second part to Caves & Cliffs. It was announced in April, when Mojang split the big update into two parts and delayed the second until later in the year. The update will deliver a major overhaul to caves and new sub-biomes as well as new items and blocks. It also includes something called the Warden. It’s not a good thing, if you have any doubts.
