What is Minecraft Live 2021? Everything you need to know

Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by a Swedish company called Mojang. It has been over a decade since the game's release, and since then, it has received a plethora of updates. Minecraft Live is an annual online event which acts as a bridge between players and developers.

During the livestream, developers of the game discuss the planned updates and reveal upcoming features. Before the pandemic, the event used to be held offline, and a lot of Minecraft streamers used to join in the conversation.

Yesterday, Mojang announced the dates for Minecraft live 2021. Unfortunately, the event will be held online like last year.

Apart from the traditional mob vote, Mojang has not disclosed much information about what will happen in Minecon 2021. For those unaware, mob voting is an event where Mojang lets fans vote for one out of three mob options. The mob that gets the highest votes will be added to the game in future updates.

In the last mob vote, players had the option of choosing between glow squid, moobloom, and iceologer. Moobloom was eliminated in the first stage, while glow squid won the final round with 5.4 percent more votes than iceologer.
