Mojang Studios is gearing up for their annual event where they reflect on all their Minecraft games and projects from the past year. This celebration also highlights the vibrant community, showcasing various creators, fan-made clips, structures, and more. This year’s live event, however, is expected to have some notable changes, especially as the developers have announced updates ahead of time.
Here is everything confirmed by Mojang Studios for the upcoming Minecraft Live 2024.
Confirmed Highlights for the 2024 Minecraft Live Event
New Game Drops
On the official Minecraft website, Mojang Studios has recently shared plans to revamp their current update cycle. A blog post was released shortly before the announcement of Minecraft Live 2024.
Traditionally, creators unveiled a new update for Minecraft during their yearly live event in the latter half of the year, with the update becoming available the following summer.
Now, these updates—designed to enhance gameplay—will be rolled out more frequently and in various sizes. Players can look forward to multiple updates each year instead of just one or two. The developers refer to these regular enhancements as “game drops,”which were highlighted in the official blog post for the upcoming live event.
Moving forward, all major improvements will be segmented into smaller, manageable updates that will be released throughout the year.
This means that Mojang Studios is likely to discuss future game drops that will include features delivered in bite-sized updates.
Additionally, it’s important to note that Mojang Studios has announced a change to the live event format itself. The event will be split into two separate parts this year, meaning that two Minecraft Live events will occur in one calendar year. The next Minecraft Live, scheduled for September 28, 2024, will not reveal all the developers’ plans for the game.
Live Showcase of New Features
Besides unveiling some game drops, Mojang Studios has confirmed that an ‘after party’ will follow the live event, during which developers will play with new features and showcase them to viewers. This segment will allow for an in-depth exploration of these additions, discussing their development and how they can enhance gameplay for players upon release.
