Minecraft Live: Vote for the Next New Mob!

Minecon, later renamed to Minecon Earth, Minecon Live, Minecraft Live and Minecraft Festival, is an annual interactive live stream and fan convention about the video game Minecraft, hosted by Mojang. The first gathering in 2010 was known as MinecraftCon. The Minecon 2011 convention was held in Las Vegas and celebrated the launch of the game with Minecraft-related discussion panels and gaming areas. The most recent convention, held in Anaheim, had 12,000 attendees. Since 2017, Minecon has taken the form of an interactive live stream, and as such Minecon 2016 was the last in-person convention to bear the Minecon name. However, similar conventions, now to be known as Minecraft Festival, will be held in the future.
