Minecraft The Copper Age is set to release on September 30, 2025. This is the official confirmed date from Mojang during their second live event today.

The game drop entered its pre-release development phase on Java Edition a week ago, after which enthusiasts were simply waiting for a release date. Most recently, Mojang published a release candidate for The Copper Age on Java Edition, hinting that it is almost ready. During these last development stages, the devs try to fix most of the bugs that they find, either related to the new or old features. Once they feel everything is good to go, they decide to drop the update.

After releasing The Copper Age game drop, Mojang will completely shift its focus to the Mounts of Mayhem game drop and start releasing initial beta and snapshot versions.
