[American Sign Language] Minecraft Live 2020: Full Show

WELCOME TO MINECRAFT LIVE. >> HEY, WHAT’S GOING ON? MY NAME IS ANTHONY OR BIGBSTATZ AND WELCOME TO MINECRAFT LIVE. I’M GOING TO TAKE THIS TIME AND EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF AND MY RELATIONSHIP IN HISTORY WITH MINECRAFT. IT ALL STARTED BACK IN 2012. I DIDN’T HAVE A PC TO WHERE I

COULD RUN MINECRAFT SO I WAITED FOR IT TO COME OUT ON Xbox. I GOT IT AND I JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. I WENT TO EVENTS. I MET A LOT OF PEOPLE AND I GET A CHANCE TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW ALL BECAUSE OF MINECRAFT THAT HAS ALLOWED ME TO HAVE THIS

OPPORTUNITY. I WAS ALSO A PART OF THE MINECRAFT LIVE SHOW BACK IN 2018 WHICH WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY BROUGHT ON CREATORS AND IT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE BUT IT’S A BRAND-NEW YEAR AND THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE PHENOMENAL. NOW THIS YEAR IS THE COMMUNITY PRESHOW.

SO YOU’RE GOING TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IS COMING TODAY. ALSO WE’RE GOING TO HEAR FROM A FEW OF OUR FRIENDS AND WHAT THEIR YEAR HAS BEEN LIKE AND WHAT WE LOVE TO SEE COMING TO MINECRAFT LIVE THIS YEAR. NOW IF YOU DO SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE BESIDES ENGLISH DON’T WORRY.

WE’RE WORKING WITH COMMUNITY REBROADCASTERS WHO SPEAK OTHER LANGUAGES THAT ARE HELPING LOCALIZE THE BROADCAST. HEAD OVER TO MINECRAFT.NET/LIVE TO VIEW THE LIST OF REBROADCASTERS. NOW THERE IS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO. THIS IS A PERSON THAT YOU CAN JUST FEEL THEIR ENERGY THROUGH THE SCREEN.

IF YOU EVER JUST LOOK AT SOMEONE AND IT’S LIKE WOW! THIS PERSON HAS SO MUCH ENERGY THEY’VE MADE MY DAY FEEL BETTER AND THIS PERSON IS GOING TO BE SHUBBLE. SO HERE SHE IS. >> THANKS, BIGB. HELLO. I’M SHUBBLE AND WELCOME TO MY HOUSE. I HOPE YOU ALL ARE STAYING SAFE AND HEALTHY.

YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE ME FROM LAST YEAR’S EVENT OR YOU MIGHT NOT. I WAS BLONDE BACK THEN. I’M A LONG TIME MINECRAFTER, YOUTUBER AND LOVER OF ALL THINGS THAT LET MY IMAGINATION RUN WILD. I’M ALSO A KNOWN CAT LOVER AND I WOULD LOVE TO SHOW YOU ONE OF MINE BUT EVERY CAT OWNER KNOWS

YOU CANNOT TELL THEM WHAT TO DO. ANY WAY, WE’RE GOING TO START WITH THE PRESHOW WHERE WE’VE LOOKED AT THE LAST YEAR IN MINECRAFT. I’VE HAD MY OWN EXCITING YEAR IN MINECRAFT. I WAS CROWNED A MINECRAFT CHAMPION TWICE AND THEN LATER WE’LL JOIN SOME MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY AND SOME MEMBERS OF

THE MOJANG TEAM TO SEE WHAT’S COMING NEXT. I’M MOST EXCITED ABOUT THE MOB VOTE BUT I HEARD THERE IS SOMETHING BIG BEING REVEALED RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING. SO DON’T GO ANYWHERE. I’LL BE HERE WATCHING TOO TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. SO GRAB A SNACK AND SOME WATER AND LET’S GET INTO IT.

WAS THAT GOOD? DID I DO GOOD? SHOULD I HAVE WORN THE CROWN? I TEND TO DEMAND MORE RESPECT WHEN I’M WEARING THE CROWN. >> HELLO, EVERYONE. I’M MAIREL ALSO KNOWN AS MARIELITAI. YOU MAY KNOW ME FROM A COUPLE OF MINECRAFT SERIES THAT I PARTICIPATED IN LIKE HARMONY HOLLOW, MARIEL CRAFT IN GAME

CRAFT JUST TO NAME A FEW BUT I’M ALSO KNOWN IN THE COMMUNITY FOR MY INNATE ABILITY TO BREAK THE GAME. RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. IT JUST HAPPENS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. COMPLETELY OUT OF MY HANDS. I’VE HAD SO MANY HAPPEN TO ME THAT IT’S BECOME THIS RUNNING

JOKE ON MY CHANNEL AND IT’S HILARIOUS. THIS YEAR HAS ACTUALLY BEEN AN EXCITING YEAR. I WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE OF THE MINECRAFT CHAMPIONSHIPS AND I ALSO MADE A TON OF NEW FRIENDS PLAYING MINECRAFT DUNGEONS. THAT WAS PRETTY COOL AND AWESOME BUT TODAY I’M HERE AT THE MINECRAFT LIVE COMMUNITY

PRE-SHOW TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING VERY EXCITING. THE MOB VOTING PROCESS. TURNS OUT THAT MINECRAFT IS BRINGING THREE NEW MOBS FOR ALL OF US TO CHECK OUT AND GET TO KNOW. WE HAVE THE MOOBLOOM FROM MINECRAFT EARTH. THE ICEOLOGER FROM MINECRAFT DUNGEONS AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST THE GLOW SQUID, A

MYSTERIOUS NEW MOB THAT IS ALSO FROM MINECRAFT EARTH. BUT YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHICH ONE IS GOING TO BE ADDED TO THE GAME? WELL, THAT IS UP TO YOU THE COMMUNITY TO DECIDE. BECAUSE THROUGHOUT THE SHOW ALL OF YOU ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE MOB ON

THE MINECRAFT TWITTER PAGE AS LONG AS YOU’RE SIGNED IN. THERE ARE GOING TO BE MULTIPLE VOTING ROUNDS SO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP AN EYE ON THE VOTE BECAUSE THINGS CAN CHANGE VERY QUICKLY AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THE BEST MOB WINS AND THAT IN MY OPINION IS THE GLOW SQUID.

BECAUSE THAT’S THE ONE I’M ROOTING FOR. AND THAT’S THE ONE I’M GOING TO BE VOTING FOR. THAT’S GOING TO BE IT FOR ME BUT BE SURE TO STICK AROUND TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THESE BRAND-NEW MINECRAFT MOBS. >> THANKS, MAIREL. I JUST WANT TO SAY I ACTUALLY

WANT ALL OF THE MOBS IF THAT IS EVEN POSSIBLE. CAN WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN? NOW ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS THIS YEAR TO COME TO MINECRAFT IS THE 1.16 NETHER UPDATE. THERE WASN’T MUCH TO DO IN THE NETHER IN MY PERSONAL OPINION AND THIS UPDATE I THINK EVERYONE ENJOYED IT. ME PERSONALLY.

I WAS ALREADY A LITTLE BIT AFRAID OF THE NETHER BUT NOW I’M EVEN MORE SCARED BUT IN A GOOD WAY. IT MAKES ME WANT TO GO THERE. MAKES ME WANT TO DO THINGS AND THERE IS SO MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO IN THE NETHER AND THE FACT THAT

THIS IS THE SAME GAME THEY MAKE THE UPDATES SO GREAT THAT IT FEELS LIKE A WHOLE NEW GAME AND YOU GET THAT WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE ALL OVER AGAIN. BUT THAT IS JUST MY STORY. BUT HERE ARE SOME MORE STORIES FROM A FEW CREATORS AND FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD. >> HELLO EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS GEMINITAY. I AM A MINECRAFT BUILDER AND CONTENT CREATOR ON BOTH YOUTUBE AND TWITCH. I LOVE USING MINECRAFT AS A PLATFORM TO CREATE ART. AND THIS YEAR I’VE HAD A PARTICULARLY AMAZING TIME DOING SO. I WAS INVITED TO THE EARLY ACCESS BETA FOR MINECRAFT WITH

RTX ON WINDOWS 10 EDITION AND OH, MY GOSH. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. MINECRAFT WITH RTX ADDS SO MANY NEW AMAZING PROPERTIES TO THE GAME. THE NEW REFLECTIONS AND LIGHTING IS INCREDIBLE. BEING ABLE THE USE THE LIGHT AS A BUILDING BLOCK IN THE GAME IS SOMETHING I’VE LOOKED FORWARD TO

FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AND IT’S FINALLY HERE. DEFINITELY HAVE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TIME USING THAT TO MY ADVANTAGE TO CREATE MORE DEPTH AND DIMENSION IN MY MINECRAFT WORLDS. >> HEY, EVERYONE. I’M MACNCHEESEPLZ, A MINECRAFT YOUTUBE CONTENT CREATOR AND TWITCH STREAMER. MY FAVORITE MEMORY FOR MINECRAFT

THIS YEAR HAS GOT TO BE WHEN WE DEFEATE THE ENDER DRAGON FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS FIGHT BEFORE AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT. WE SPENT HOURS AND HOURS PREPARING AND DEFEATED THE ENDER DRAGON OUR FIRST TRY IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.

I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT MINECRAFT HAS IN STORE FOR US THIS YEAR. ♪ >> HEY MINECRAFT LIVE. I’M NICK PICKET. >> AND I’ ELLIOT. >> AND WE BUILT A ONE-TO-ONE REPLICA OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BERKELEY WITH 200 OF OUR FELLOW STUDENTS, FACULTY AND ALUMNI AND HOSTED A VIRTUAL GRADUATION THERE.

DURING THE CEREMONY WE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY, A PRODUCTION COMPANY AND DOZENS OF OUR OWN BUILDERS TO PRODUCE A GRADUATION UNLIKE ANY SEEN BEFORE. WE HAD SEVEN SPEAKERS JOIN US THAT DAY INCLUDING THE SCHOOLS CHANCELLOR AND MINECRAFT’S OWN LYDIA WINTERS. >> IN ADDITION TO THE CEREMONY

WE INVITED THE GLOBAL CLASS OF 2020 TO A TWO-DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL WITH OVER 60 ARTISTS PERFORMING BACK TO BACK TO CELEBRATE. WITH THE HELP OF SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED BUILDERS AND DEVELOPERS WE HOSTED IT ALL IN A REIMAGINED VERSION OF BERKELEY’S GREAT THEATER. >> THIS PROJECT GREW TO SCALES

THAT WE NEVER EXPECTED. >> ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS WE DECIDED TO TAKE ALL OF THIS ATTENTION WE WERE GETTING AND PUT IT TOWARD A GOOD CAUSE. WHICH IS WHY WE PARTNERED WITH A CHARITY TO RAISE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SUPPORT PANDEMIC RELIEF. >> FROM ALL OF US ON THE TEAM WE

HOPE YOU’RE ENJOYING MINECRAFT LIVE. >> OKAY. SO WE’VE HEARD ABOUT HOW 2020 HAS BEEN FOR A FEW PEOPLE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BUT WHAT IS NEXT FOR MINECRAFT? THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS IN MINECRAFT BUT IF THERE WAS ONE THING THAT I WOULD WANT TO SEE IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD FLY.

SOME TYPE OF CREATURE. MAYBE A MONSTER AND YOU WOULD BE WALKING OUT ON JUST A NICE SUNNY DAY MAYBE MINING OR DOING SOME CROPPING OR IN YOUR FARM AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW SOMETHING WOULD SWOOP DOWN, NOT A PHANTOM AND IT WOULD ACTUALLY PICK YOU UP AND TAKE YOU THROUGH THE SKY.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL. BUT MAYBE THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. NOW THE COMMUNITY HAS ALWAYS SPECULATED WHAT THE NEXT BIG UPDATE FOR MINECRAFT COULD BE. A NEW MOB A NEW BOSS. A NEW BIOME AND AS YOU’RE MAKING YOUR GUESSES RIGHT NOW I WOULD ASSUME WE’RE GOING TO THROW SOME

MORE IDEAS IN THE MIX. >> WELL HELLO THERE, MINECRAFT LIVE. GOODTIMESWITHSCAR HERE AND I’M A CONCEPT CREATOR AND A MEMBER OF THE HERMIT CRAFT SERVER AND I’VE NOW BEEN PLAYING MINECRAFT FOR 10 YEARS. THIS IS MY 10 YEAR MONTH ANNIVERSARY. AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO CELEBRATE TEN YEARS PLAYING MINECRAFT

BUT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU HERE AT MINECRAFT LIVE AND TO SPECULATE WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDED TO MINECRAFT. WAY BACK IN THE DAY WHEN THEY ADDED COLORED GLASS TO THE GAME I THOUGHT HOW COOL TO BE IF THESE NATURALLY GENERATED IN CAVES AS IF THEY WERE CRYSTALS.

JUST COLOR CRYSTALS HANGING FROM THE CAVES. JUST ADD A LITTLE LIFE AND ENERGY TO THE CAVES AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE FUN. BUT LET’S TAKE THIS UP A NOTCH. SAY WE’RE DOWN IN THE CAVES AND WE BREAK OPEN A WALL INTO A GIGANTIC CAVE WITH CATHEDRAL CEILINGS AND CRYSTALS HANGING

DOWN FROM THE CEILINGS AND THESE CRYSTALS COME IN ALL THE VARIETY OF COLORS IN MINECRAFT AND WE PICK OUT ONE THAT WE LIKE. SAY WE’LL PICK OUT THE ORANGE ONE AND WE KNOCK DOWN THAT ORANGE CRYSTAL AND WE CAN TAKE THE FRAGMENTS OF THE ORANGE CRYSTAL AND PUT IT IN A TORCH OR

LANTERN AND WE’RE NOW CASTING ORANGE LIGHT IN MINECRAFT. THAT IS RIGHT. WE CAN NOW CAST COLORED LIGHT OF ALL VARIETIES IN MINECRAFT VIA TORCHES OR LANTERNS TO ADD MORE ATMOSPHERE AND MORE DESIGN POSSIBILITIES WITH OUR BUILDS. JUST IMAGINE YOUR BUILDS NOW BUT BEING ILLUMINATED WITH COLOR LIGHT. HOW AMAZING THAT WOULD BE.

NOW ANOTHER THING I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ADDED TO MINECRAFT IS SOME WAY OF AUTO LOADING AND EJECTING MUSIC DISK FROM A JUKE BOX SO NOW WE HAVE COLORED LIGHT IN THE GAME ALONG WITH AUTO PLAYING MUSIC. WE HAVE BASICALLY TOGETHER HERE CREATED A DISCO IN MINECRAFT AND THAT SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THOSE IDEAS AND I CANNOT WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT FOR REAL IS COMING SOON. >> HEY, EVERYONE. IT’S KREW. WE HAVE BEEN HUGE FANS OF MINECRAFT SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING AND WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN CREATING VIDEOS. >> FROM OUR SILLY BUILD COMPETITIONS TO OUR EPIC

SURVIVAL SERIES. >> CREATIVITY IS LITERALLY LIMITLESS IN MINECRAFT. >> THAT’S WHY WE’RE SO EXCITED FOR THE GLOW SQUIDS. [ CHEERING ] >> WE COULD BUILD A GLOWING UNDERWATER CITY. >> THAT WOULD BE SO COOL. >> I WONDER WHAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO CRAFT? >> MAYBE WE WILL BE ABLE TO

CRAFT GLOWING ARMOR. >> I WONDER WHAT SOUND THE GLOW SQUID MAKES. >> LIKE THIS — GLUB, GLUB. >> I’M GOING TO MAKE IT MY PET. >> OKAY. >> BYE. HELLO. MY NAME IS ISKALL85. AND I’M A MINECRAFTER AND TODAY IS A BIG DAY. IT’S AN OMEGA BIG DAY TODAY

BECAUSE IT’S ONE OF THE DAYS WHEN WE GET TO KNOW THE LATEST AND GREATEST SURROUNDING MINECRAFT. BEING A BIG ACTION RBG FAN I’VE BEEN COMPLETELY STOCKED WITH DUNGEONS SINCE THEY CAME OUT AND WE’VE ALREADY GOT LOTS OF NEW STUFF LIKE WE HAVE THE WIND UPDATE. WE’VE GOT THE JUNGLE UPDATE.

I WONDER IF THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER THEMED UPGRADE. MAYBE MOUNTAINS. DUNGEONS GOES WITH EVEREST OR MAYBE OCEANIC UPDATES. THAT WOULD BE WEIRD SWIMMING UNDERGROUND AND STUFF LIKE THAT. PERSONALLY I’M HOPING FOR TWO THINGS. I’M HOPING THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO CUSTOMIZE OUR LITTLE CHARACTERS A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE

THE VISUALS OF THE CHARACTER. I’D LOVE TO SEE LIKE BEING ABLE TO GET A SKIN THAT IS OUTSIDE THE GAME INTO THE GAME. THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND I WOULD REALLY REALLY LIKE TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE BASE AREA. ADD THINGS. MAYBE PUT THINGS ON THE WALL.

YOU FIND A COOL SWORD, PUT IT ON THE WALL. MEMORIZE IT. THAT WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. >> YOU KNOW THAT IS A VERY GOOD POINT. I WONDER WHAT IS COMING NEXT IN DUNGEONS. WELL, I GUESS WE’LL HAVE TO SEE. THANK YOU FROM ME AND EVERYONE YOU’VE SEEN SO FAR FOR WATCHING THE PRE-SHOW.

MINECRAFT LIVE IS JUST ABOUT TO START. BUT THIS IS JUST A SMALL PART OF THE COMMUNITY SO LET’S SEE SOME OTHER GREAT MOMENTS FROM THIS YEAR IN MINECRAFT. THANKS, EVERYONE. BYE. >> I EARNED THIS CROWN THE LAST TIME. I GET TO WEAR IT UNTIL I’M DETHRONED WHICH MEANS I CAN WEAR

IT THE WHOLE TIME UNTIL THEN. THERE IS A LOT MORE RAINBOW BECAUSE IT IS IN HONOR OF BEING PRIDE MONTH. >> SO I DON’T KNOW IF I MENTIONED THIS ALREADY BUT I REALLY WANT TO USE THE MINECRAFT HEARTS THAT COME OUT FROM THE PETS WHEN YOU GIVE THEM A TREAT.

SO I JUST WENT INTO FEATHER ADVENTURES AND I MADE A GREEN SCREEN INSIDE OF A DOG’S HOUSE AND FOR FEATHERS AS WELL. >> I MEAN HOW CAN I NOT GET EXCITED ABOUT TRANSFORMING THE LOOK AND FEEL OF MINECRAFT FROM THIS SCENE WITH RTX OFF TO THIS WITH RTX ON. OH! OH!

THEY ARE THERE. THE LITTLE BEASTS ARE THERE. A NEW ANIMAL. THIS IS KIND OF BLOWING MY MIND. WHAT A COOL UPDATE. >> WE’VE ADDED THESE NEW ADVENTURE CRYSTALS THAT ALLOW TO EXPERIENCE ADVENTURES IN YOUR HOME, IN YOUR BACKYARD OR WHEREVER YOU ARE INSTEAD OF NEEDING TO GO OUT AND DISCOVER THAT.

>> LOOK AT THE BEE. DID Y’ALL SEE THAT? THAT WAS INSANITY. >> WE STING IT UP IN HERE. CHECK IT OUT. I’VE GOT A WHOLE MESS OF POWER. DID Y’ALL SEE THEM? BEES. YOU CAN KEEP SPAWNING IN ALL THESE BEES. >> I FOUND THE MOBS. I FOUND THEM. >> EXCUSE ME.

I DON’T APPREC– NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO! >> I’VE GOT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO PLAY MY GAME. ARE YOU WATCHING? >> WHOA!!! THE BEES ARE REALLY ANGRY. >> ARE YOU WATCHING? >> WHAT DID YOU DO? >> THE BEES ARE SO MAD. >> GOING TO LEAD YOU TO IT.

PERHAPS ONE OF THESE OTHER HUTS HAS SOMETHING HELPFUL INSTEAD. OH, MY GOSH! NO WAY! >> I’M TAKING THIS, OKAY. WHAT DO I DO WITH IT. WHAT DO I DO WITH IT? I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT. >> OKAY. GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY. SET ME UP. >> THERE ARE LOTS OF ZOMBIES.

>> HERE YOU GO. >> SPEAKING OF FOOD — YUM, YUM, YUM,YUM YUM. WHAT? DON’T TAKE ALL THE CAKES! YOU’VE GOT TO PAY FOR THOSE. >> THERE THEY ARE. LOOK AT THEM. THEY ARE SO CUTE AND THAT RIGHT THERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN IS OUR FIRST BEE NEST. >> LOOK AT THAT.

I LOVE SEEING LIKE THE HAZE. THE LIGHT BEAMS. >> OH NO! WHERE DID YOU DIE? WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TELEPORT TO ME? OH, I’M DOING IT NW. >> OH, KNOW. >> WHAT? [ LAUGHING ] >> HELLO AND WELCOME TO MINECRAFT LIVE 2020! I’M LYDIA WINTERS, YOUR HOST AND CHIEF STORYTELLER FOR MOJANG

STUDIOS. WE’RE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – THE BIRTHPLACE OF MINECRAFT! SOME OF OUR AMAZING TEAM MEMBERS COULDN’T BE HERE TODAY, SO WE RECORDED THE MINECRAFT EARTH AND CREATOR TOOLS SEGMENTS IN REDMOND EARLIER THIS WEEK. WE ARE SO THANKFUL YOU’RE JOINING US. BEFORE WE GET STARTED, WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE

THE NUMBER OF CHALLENGES AROUND THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, AS WELL AS THE MENTAL, PHYSICAL, AND EMOTIONAL TOLL THOSE CHALLENGES ARE TAKING ON ALL OF US. WITH THAT IN MIND, WE WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE THE OPPORTUNITY TODAY TO TAKE A BREATH, HAVE FUN, ENJOY THE GAMES WE LOVE AND

CELEBRATE ALL OF YOU – OUR INCREDIBLE MINECRAFT COMMUNITY! IT WON’T ALL BE EASY – YOU’LL HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH MOB TO VOTE INTO THE GAME, WHICH, BASED ON VOTES IN PREVIOUS YEARS, WILL BE SUPER TOUGH. YOU’LL NOT ONLY GET TO HEAR ABOUT WHAT’S COMING TO YOUR FAVORITE MINECRAFT GAMES,

YOU’LL ALSO HEAR DIRECTLY FROM THE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS. WE WANT YOU TO LEAVE TODAY KNOWING ABOUT THE EXCITING ADDITIONS COMING TO MINECRAFT AND ALSO WHY OUR TEAM HAS MADE THOSE DECISIONS ━ AN INSIDER’S LOOK AT WHAT’S BREWING AT MOJANG STUDIOS. TODAY WE ARE KICKING THINGS OFF WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE…

WE ARE GOING TO TELL YOU.. RIGHT NOW! >> HI AGNES AND BRANDON. LET’S DO THIS. >> THE NEXT UPDATE IS THE UPDATE THAT WE KNOW THAT SO MANY OF YOU AND SO MANY OF US AS WELL HAS BEEN WANTING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. THE CAVES AND CLIFFS UPDATE.

>> IT MUST FEEL AMAZING TO BE ABLE TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THAT. >> I’M SO EXCITED. EVEN BEFORE I JOINED MOJANG I WAS THINKING WHEN IS THE CAVE UPDATE COMING AND IT’S GOT THE CLIFFS AS WELL. THIS IS SUN A BIG UPDATE AND I’M SO EXCITED. >> HOW ARE YOU FEELING AGNES?

>> GREAT. SO GOOD. I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS UPDATE FOR QUITE LONG AND WE CANNOT WAIT TO TELL EVERYONE AND NOW WE JUST ANNOUNCED IT. >> WE’RE GETTING OUR FIRST LIVE LOOK AT SOME REACTIONS. >> OH! >> THAT IS SO CUTE. >> THOSE MOBS ARE VERY, VERY EXCITED.

THIS YEAR WE ASKED SOME OF OUR COMMUNITIES TO SUBMIT QUESTIONS THAT WE WILL ANSWER ACROSS THE SHOW. THIS FIRST QUESTION DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE SOMETHING WE ALLLL WANT TO KNOW. WHY HAVE THE CAVES TAKEN SO LONG TO UPDATE AND WHEN WILL IT BE UPDATED? WE’VE BEEN ASKING THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

>> WE’VE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT IT FOR SO LONG SO IT WAS IMPORTANT TO DO IT RIGHT. WE DON’T WANT TO RUSH IT BUT NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME. WE SPENT THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE VISION THAT WE HAVE FOR THE UPDATE AND ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE

COMMUNITY ACTUALLY WANTS AND WE ALSO PLANNED AROUND IT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE THIS AS AN EPIC UPDATE AS POSSIBLE AND WE’VE HIRED SOME AMAZING NEW DEVELOPERS TO THE TEAM. >> AND YOU’RE ONE OF THE AMAZING DEVELOPERS, BRANDON. >> I CAME FROM THE COMMUNITY.%

I USED TO DO MODDING FOR 10 YEARS. ONE WAS THE DIMENSION THAT ADDED SKY — SIGH LANDS AND I’M SO HAPPY TO BE HERE. >> WE HAVE ANOTHER CREATOR QUESTION. >> HI. I’M THE PINK DIAMOND DIVA AND THIS IS MY QUESTION. ARE YOU MAKING THE CAVES MORE ADVANCED FOR OLDER PLAYERS SO

THEY CAN MINE DEEP OR ARE YOU MAKING THEM MORE ACCESSIBLE AND EASIER TO NAVIGATE FOR NEWER PLAYERS? >> SUCH A GREAT QUESTION. >> WITH THIS UPDATE WE’RE MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN HAVE AS MUCH VARIATION AS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE ACTUAL CAVES BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OLD CAVES ARE

RETAINED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO KEEP THAT CLASSIC FEEL. >> AND WE ALSO LOOKED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. WE HAVE SUCH A HUGE COMMUNITY AND A DIVERSE COMMUNITY AND THAT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING SO WE WANT THE UPDATES TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

WE MADE SURE TO MAP ALL OF THE FEATURES TO DIFFERENT PLAYER STYLES TO SEE THAT WE FULFILLED THAT CALL. >> THAT IS SO COOL AND YOU HAD SUCH A BIG THOUGHT PROCESS ON HOW TO DECIDE WHAT GOES INTO AN UPDATE THIS BIG. >> QUITE A LOT OF TIME MAKING

SURE THAT WE HAVE VERY GOOD FUNMENT. AND WE ALSO WORKED WITH SIGN PILLARS. THEY DESCRIBE THE VISION OF THE UPDATE. THEY HELP US PRIORITIZE BETWEEN DIFFERENT FEATURES AND WHEN WE DESIGN EACH SPECIFIC FEATURE AND WE HAVE THREE PILLARS. AND THE FIRST ONE IS THE MOUNTAINS. THE SNOWY SNOW AND THE MISCHIEVOUS GOATS.

BECAUSE LAST YEAR THE PLAYERS VOTED FOR THESE FEATURES AND IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO DELIVER ON THAT PROGRAM — PROMISE. >> AND ANOTHER PILLAR WAS ADDING STRATEGY TO MINING. SO OF COURSE MINECRAFT ALREADY HAS PLENTY OF STRATEGY BUT WE WANTED TO PUSH THAT FURTHER AND ADD EVEN MORE MECHANICS THAT MAKE IT INTERESTING.

>> AND THE THIRD PILLAR IS TO CREATE AN UNDERGROUND OF MARBLE FOR THE PLAYERS. AND THAT PILLAR IS ABOUT ADDING VARIATION TO THE UNDERGROUND AND CONTRAST AND INSPIRE PLAYERS TO CRAFT THEIR OWN UNDER GROUND ADVENTURES. AND ONE THING THAT WE’VE DONE IS THAT WE’VE ADDED NEW CAVE BIOMES

AND ONE OF THESE IS THE LUSH CAVES. >> IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. IT DOESN’T FEEL CAVE LIKE. >> WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT OF COURSE IN MINECRAFT ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CAVES THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. NOT MUCH VARIATION IN TERMS OF VEGETATION OR DIFFERENT FEATURES. WE WANTED SOMETHING A BIT MORE

LIKE LIGHT AND LUSH AND ACTUALLY HAS VEGETATION AND I THINK IT LOOKS AMAZING. >> IT’S GORGEOUS. WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND IT? >> WE WERE THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD FEEL INSIDE OF A LUSH CAVE. YOU FEEL VERY TINY INSIDE LIKE A BIG GARDEN OR BIG FOREST.

SO LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK UP IT’S VEGETATION AROUND YOU AND ONE SOURCE OF INSPIRATION WAS A SWEDISH PAINTER BECAUSE IN MYS PAINTINGS IS OFTEN TINY CHARACTER AND HUGE FOREST AND YOU SEE THE BOTTOM OF THE TREES BECAUSE THE VEGETATION IS SO BIG COMPARED TO THE CHARACTER. >> AND YOU’RE ADDING SO MANY NEW

PLANTS IN THE LUSH CAVES. >> THERE WAS THIS NEW TREE THAT WAS ABOVE. IT’S CALLED A AN — AZAE LA TRE. YOU’LL FIND A LUSH CAVE. THIS IS ANOTHER PART OF ADDING STRATEGY TO MINING. THERE ARE CERTAIN LANDMARKS THAT WILL ALLOW TO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE DOING IN THE GAME.

>> AND ANOTHER ONE OF THE NEW BLOCKS IS A BLOCK CALLED SPORE BLOSSOM. YOU MAYBE SAW IT IN THE VIDEO. A BIG PINK FLOWER THAT YOU FIND IN THE ROOF OF THE CAVE. IT WILL ALSO FEEL LIKE A BIG VOLUME AROUND IT WITH PARTICLES. SIMILAR TO THE PARTICLES THAT WE

ADDED TO THE NETHER BIOMES. BUT THE COOL THING IS THAT YOU CAN MOVE THE FLOWER IF YOU WANT TO AND GET THE PARTICLES ANYWHERE YOU WANT. SO YOU CAN BE VERY CREATIVE. >> THAT IS SO AWESOME AND THE LUSH CAVES HAVE A REAL GLOW FROM ONE OF THE PLANTS. >> YES.

THEY ARE VINES IN THE LUSH CAVES AND THEY HAVE GLOW LINES ON THEM AND THIS IS A LIGHT SOURCE AND YOU CAN ALSO PICK THEM AND EAT THEM IF YOU WANT TO. >> AND ANOTHER PLANT IS THE DRIPLEAF PLANT. YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY CAN GROW FROM WATER OR ANYWHERE ELSE AND

THEY GROW QUITE TALL BUT THEY HAVE A LITTLE PLANT ON THE TOP THAT YOU CAN HOP ON TO. SO THE IDEA OF THE MECHANIC BEHIND IT IS THAT THE LEAF WILL TILT DOWN WHEN YOU STAND ON IT TU FALL THROUGH. HOWEVER IT WILL COME BACK UP. IT ALLOWS YOU TO CONTINUE

PLATFORMING OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHICH I HOPE IS REALLY EXCITING FOR CONTENT CREATORS MAKING MAPS. >> YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN PLATFORM AND LEVELS AND THEN THEY WILL REPAIR THEMSELVES. >> THAT IS NEAT. >> IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL IN THERE AND THERE IS ACTUALLY A MOB COMING TO THE LUSH CAVES. >> YES.

THERE IT IS. BUT WE WILL ACTUALLY NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THIS MOB NOW. BECAUSE IN THE END OF THE SHOW WE’LL SHOW EVEN MORE PICTURES COMING TO THE CAVES AND THE CLIFFS UPDATE AND THEN WE’LL SHOW YOU THE — MOB. >> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE’RE SPLITTING THE UPDATE

SECTION AT THE BEGINNING AND AT THE END OF THE SHOW. YOU’VE ALSO WORKED ON IMPROVING THE CAVE GENERATION. >> YES. >> AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS IS DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. AND THERE IS DEFINITELY STILL THE OLD STYLE OF CAVES BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS MUCH MORE VARIETY IN THE SHAPES

AND THE SIZES AND EVEN HERE YOU CAN SEE THERE IS SOME WATER UNDERGROUND. >> YES. SO WE ACTUALLY ADDED SOMETHING WE CALL LOCAL WATER LEVELS SO IN ONE CAVE YOU MIGHT FIND IT AND ANOTHER CAVE MAY NOT HAVE ONE AND THAT MEANS WE HAVE NATURALLY GENERATED WATERFALLS WHICH IS SO

PRETTY AND NEW WAYS TO TRAVERSE OF THE UNDERGROUND. YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO CAVE RAFTING. >> SO YOU’LL SEE THAT OUR PLAYER WILL USE A BOAT TO RAFT AND THAT IS SUCH AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVERSE THE CAVES. LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS SO FUN AND ALL OF US

STARTED TO GO ON THE BOAT. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN. >> ANOTHER THING TO NOTE HERE IS THAT YOU CAN SEE THE OARS WERE GLOWING. THIS IS JUST FOR PREVIEW PURPOSES. THE CAVES TEND TO BE QUITE DARK AND WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE PLAYERS CAN SEE THE SHAPES OF THE CAVE.

>> IS THAT ONLY FOR NORMAL CAVES OR WILL THIS RUN ACROSS ALL OF THE CAVE BIOMES? >> THE NEW CAVE SHAPES AND SIZES IS COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT FROM THE NEW BIOMES. WE HAVE SO MUCH VARIATION. A LUSH CAVE CAN BE IN A NARROW TUNNEL BUT IT CAN ALSO GO INTO A

HUGE CAVERN AND THAT CREATES DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERES BUT STILL THE SAME BIOME. >> YOU’VE BEEN CALLING TWO OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES SPAGHETTI AND SWISS CHEESE. THAT IS HOW VARIED THEY WILL BE. >> THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT VARIABLES AND IT HAS EVEN MORE VARIATION THAN THE OVER WORLD ITSELF.

>> SOME CAVES HAVE REALLY COOL PILLARS AND SOME ARE FLAT. SOME ARE TALL. LOTS OF VARIATION. >> VERY NICE AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER NEW CAVE BIOME TO SHOW US. >> YES. WE HAVE THE DRIP STONE CAVES BIOME AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT THE IDEA OF A CAVE UPDATE THE PICTURE OF STALACTITES AND

STALAGMITES COME TO HEAD. A UNIQUE SHAPE. BUT THE WAY THE ARTIST PUT IT IN WORKS QUITE WELL AND THERE ARE MECHANICS SURROUNDING THIS. THE DRIP STONE FELL DOWN AND IF YOU FALL ON THE DRIP STONES YOU WILL GET THAT. >> THERE IS ANOTHER INTERESTING MECHANIC. >> YES. LIKE FROM THE STALACTITES YOU

CAN SEE DRIPPING WATER. ACTUALLY IF YOU PUT THE CAULDRON UNDER IT WILL FILL UP WITH WATER. SO IT’S RENEWABLE WATER. >> HOW DO YOU REMEMBER WHICH IS STALACTITES AND AT — STALACTIT. >> IT’S HOLD ON TIGHT — IS IN ROOF AND STALAGMITE IS ON THE FLOOR. >> PERFECT. WE’VE BEEN PRACTICING THAT ALL

OF US. >> FOR A LONG TIME. >> AND YOU HAVE SOMETHING REALLY AMAZING IN THIS UPDATE FOR THE REDSTONE ENGINEERS OUT THERE. >> YES. SO WE’VE ACTUALLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS REDSTONE BLOCK THAT LIVES IN THE DEEP DARK. A NEW BIOME AT THE DEEPEST DEPTH OF THE WORLD.

WE’RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS BIOME TOO MUCH TODAY BUT WE’RE GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE BLOCKS AND MAYBE A MOB THAT COMES FROM IT. SO AS WE LOOK AT THE VIDEO WE CAN SEE THAT IT’S BASICALLY THIS GROWTH AND THIS IS CALLED THE SCULK BLOCKS.

AND ONE OF THE BLOCKS IS CALLED THE SCULK SENSOR. THIS IS THE NEW REDSTONE BLOCK. WHEN YOU PLACE OR DESTROY A BLOCK OR HAVE FOOT STEPS IT WILL DETECT THE VIOLATIONS AROUND AND EMIT A REDSTONE SIGNAL. WE HAVE A MECHANIC AROUND IT WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE WOOL WITH WOOL ECLOSION TO PREVENT

SIGNALS FROM GETTING INTO THE SCULK SENSOR. LETS APE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT NOW. >> AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THE PISTON IS CAUSING A VIBRATION AND IT’S ACTIVATING THE SCULK SENSOR. HERE I’VE PUT A WOOL BLOCK IN BETWEEN THE PISTON WHICH PREVENTS THE SIGNAL GREAT GOING TO THE SCULK SENSOR.

THIS CAN ALLOW TO YOU DO DIRECTIONAL SCULK SENSORS AND ONLY ALLOW IT TO DETECT VIBRATIONS IN FRONT OF IT AND IT CAN BE A SNOWBALL. A HIT. AN ARROW. IT COULD BE FOOTSTEPS. IT COULD BE BLOCKS. ANYTHING. >> SO COOL. >> AND ANOTHER THING, WE HAD A HAPPY ACCIDENT WITH THIS.

BECAUSE WE REALIZED THAT WE GET WIRELESS REDSTONE THANKS TO THE SCULK SENSOR. AND WE DIDN’T EVEN PLAN TO ADD IT BUT THEN WHEN WE STARTED TESTING WE WERE LIKE WAIT. THAT IS SO EXCITING AND YOU CAN USE SO MANY COOL THINGS WITH THAT. >> YOU’RE REALLY LOOKING FOR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK TO MAKE SURE

THIS FEELS GREAT FOR EVERYONE. >> ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A UNIQUE MECHANIC WE WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT. ANY FEEDBACK YOU HAVE. ANY IDEAS SEND IT TO US AND WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE THIS THE BEST BLOCK THAT IT CAN BE. >> AND NOW WE SAID THERE IS

ANOTHER MOB COMING LATER. BUT I THINK IT’S TIME FOR A NEW MOB COMING TO THE CAVES AND CLIFFS UPDATE. >> IT IS. AND THIS IS A VERY SCARY MOB. AND IT LIVES IN THE DEEPEST OF THE — UNDERGROUND. AND THE COOL THING IS THAT THIS MOB IS VERY WELL ADAPTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

IT CAN’T SEE ANYTHING. IT’S THE FIRST BLIND MOB IN MINECRAFT. SO INSTEAD IT WILL REACT TO VIBRATIONS LIKE THE SCULK SENSOR BLOCK. SO IF YOU ARE NOT VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU WALK AROUND IN THE DEEP DARK YOU MIGHT UPSET THAT MOB. >> WITH THIS MOB WE WANTED TO

MAKE SURE THAT WE RECAPTURED THE FEELING OF THE FIRST NIGHT OF MINECRAFT AND WE CAN OFTEN FORGET THAT MINECRAFT CAN BE A SCARY GAME. SO WE WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT. CAVES CAN BE SCARY. THEY ARE DARK. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE VERY QUIET AND WATCH CLOSELY FOR THE WARDEN.

>> WHAT DID WE JUST SEE? >> IT’S A VERY DIFFERENT MOB. I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT TRYING TO BE SCARY WE HAD TO KEEP A BALANCE TO IT. IT WAS CHALLENGING TO DESIGN A MOB LIKE THIS. ANOTHER THING IS IN THAT VIDEO I WAS WEARING FULL NETHERITE ARMOR.

IT WAS VERY POWERFUL. >> SUCH INTERESTING GAMEPLAY. IF YOU WANT TO YOU CAN AVOID IT BUT THEN YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL. SNEAK ALL THE TIME TO NOT MAKE ANY MOVEMENT THAT IT CAN DETECT. SCARY BUT IN A GOOD WAY. >> AND YOU WANTED TO TAKE EVERYONE BACK TO THE FIRST NIGHT

EXPERIENCE WITH THE WARDEN. >> ABSOLUTELY. I HAD SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE WHEN I FIRST PLAYED MINECRAFT. IT WAS TERRIFYING LISTENING TO ZOMBIES AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO PLAYERS. 10 YEARS LATER. >> THAT IS THE ESTIMATION. BECAUSE YOU HEAR SO MANY LOVELY FIRST NIGHT STORIES.

I WAS VERY FOND OF MY FIRST NIGHT IN MINECRAFT. >> BUT YOU BALANCE THE LOOK OF IT. IT’S ALMOST CUTE. BUT ALSO REALLY, REALLY TERRIFYING. HOW DID YOU DECIDE? >> WE WORKED A LOT — HOW DOES SCARINESS LOOK IN MINECRAFT? BECAUSE WE WANTED TO BE VERY SCARY AND WE DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE

AWAY FROM SCARINESS BUT LET’S ADD SOME ADORABLENESS TO IT. WE ADDED THE MOUTH AND SOME REACTED LIKE IT’S SO CUTE. WHICH I THINK IT’S MORE SCARY BUT WE FOUND THE PERFECT BALANCE. >> YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. >> BRINGS CHARACTER. >> DEFINITELY. YOU’VE BEEN SITTING UP HERE. YOU JUST ANNOUNCED AN UPDATE

THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR AND WE HAVE SOME TWEETS THAT HAVE COME IN. >> THAT IS AWESOME. >> THAT’S AMAZING TO SEE. SO MUCH EXCITEMENT. EVEN MORE TWEETS. IT’S LOVELY. LIKE WE REALLY DEVELOPED THIS GAME TOGETHER WITH THE COMMUNITY AND NOW TO SEE THAT YOU ARE SO HAPPY THAT IS SO GOOD.

>> HONESTLY IT’S SUCH A PRIVILEGE TO WORK ON A GAME LIKE THIS AND AN UPDATE LIKE THIS AND WE JUST LOVE THIS GAME AND WE WANT TO MAKE THE BEST UPDATE WE CAN FOR EVERYONE. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH AGNES AND BRANDON. THAT WAS A LOT OF AMAZING NEW THINGS.

DON’T FORGET THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER SEGMENT FULL OF EVEN MORE CAVE UPDATES LATER ON IN THE SHOW. NOW LET’S HEAD OVER TO MINECRAFT LIVE CORRESPOND VUI BUI. HE HAS SOMETHING THAT YOU VOTED INTO THE GAME LAST YEAR. >> HELLO MINECRAFTERS OF THE WORLD! I’M VUI BUI, AND I’M HERE ONCE

AGAIN TO HELP ALL OF YOU AT HOME TO CHOOSE A MOB THAT WILL GO INTO MINECRAFT. BUT FIRST, WE HAVE A MESSAGE FROM OUR GOOD FRIEND MAX BROOKS, AUTHOR OF OUR FIRST MINECRAFTNOVEL, WITH SOME EXCITING NEWS. >> HEY, MINECRAFT COMMUNITY. IT’S MAX BROOKS, AUTHOR OF “MINECRAFT THE ISLAND”.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EMBRACING MY BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY SEQUEL, “MINECRAFT THE MOUNTAIN”. WHERE OUR CHARACTER LEAVES THE ISLAND AND PADDLES TO A STRANGE SNOW-COVERED WORLD AND DISCOVERS ANOTHER CASTAWAY AND TOGETHER THE TWO OF THEM HAVE TO FIND THEIR WAY HOME. “MINECRAFT THE MOUNTAIN”. COMING OUT IN 2021 AVAILABLE FOR

PREORDER RIGHT NOW AND AS ALWAYS THANK YOU FOR EMBRACING ALL MINECRAFT BOOKS. >> THAT SOUNDS AWESOME, ANOTHER MINECRAFT NOVEL, AND THIS ONE’S CALLED THE MOUNTAIN. HEY SPEAKING OF MOUNTAINS, REMEMBER LAST YEAR’S VOTE? IT WAS A FIERCE COMPETITION BUT THE MOUNTAINS WON AFTER TWO INTENSE ROUNDS OF VOTING.

WELL, I HAVE A SNEAK PEEK INTO WHAT YOUR VOTE IS BRINGING TO MINECRAFT ON THE “CLIFFS SIDE” OF THE CAVES AND CLIFFS UPDATE. GOATS ARE BOTH MISCHIEVOUS AND ADORABLE – AT THE SAME TIME! THEY LIVE ON THE MOUNTAINS AND IF YOU AREN’T CAREFUL THEY MIGHT KNOCK YOU OFF! THEY ALSO HAVE EXCELLENT JUMPING

SKILLS. WE’LL ALSO GET BETTER MOUNTAIN GENERATION WITH SPECTACULAR AND MORE DRAMATIC MOUNTAINS WITH HEIGHT DEPENDENT GENERATION. THAT MEANS THINGS LIKE TREE LINES AND MOUNTAIN TOPS THAT WILL BE MORE CHALLENGING WITH LOTS OF SNOW AND ICE. AND SPEAKING OF SNOW, YES, IT WILL BE SNOWIER. WE WILL ALSO HAVE A NEW BLOCK

CALLED POWDER SNOW, WHICH WILL BE A KIND OF TRAP BLOCK; IT LOOKS SIMILAR TO SNOW BUT IF YOU WALK ON IT YOU WILL FALL THROUGH! NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS YEAR’S VOTE. WE HAVE THREE AWESOME MOBS FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM, AND TO INTRODUCE THEM WE ONCE AGAIN

HAVE TINY AGNES AND TINY JENS, LET’S SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SHOW!” >> OH, BEES AND MOOBLOOMS ARE FRIENDS. JUST LIKE WE ARE, RIGHT, AGNES? >> THESE FRIENDLY COWS LIVE IN THE FRIENDLY FOREST BIOME. YELLOW AS SUNSHINE AND COVERED IN BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS. WHAT’S NOT TO LIKE ABOUT THESE BEAUTIFUL BOVINES?

>> WE ARE FRIENDS, RIGHT? AGNES? >> WHY DO WE HAVE TO RECORD THESE VIDEOS ON AN ACTUAL MOUNTAIN? THEY ARE ANIMATED. >> THE ICEOLOGER IS A NEW ILLAGER THAT LIVES ON MOUNTAIN TOPS. IT’S A HOSTILE MOB THAT ATTACKS YOU WITH CLOUDS OF FLYING ICE. >> YOU DID PACK THE SUPPLIES

THAT WE NEED TO SURVIVE THE NIGHT UP HERE, RIGHT, JENS? >> DO YOU EVER WISH MINECRAFT’S OCEANS WERE GLOWIER? >> NOT ME. I ALWAYS WISH FOR WORLD PEACE. >> SURE YOU DO. WELL, WISH NO MORE. MEET THE GLOW SQUID. >> WOW! WHAT WAS I MEANT TO SAY AGAIN? VOTE FOR MINECRAFT.

>> CAN’T TALK. MUST ADMIRE GLOWS. >> AGNES! JENS! IT’S REALLY DISTRACTING. >> THEY ARE SO TINY AND THEY ARE SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISTRACTION. HOPEFULLY THAT WON’T HAPPEN TO YOU. NEW LET’S GO OVER TO. >> HI, TINY AGNES. NO. I’M LIVE RIGHT NOW. OKAY. WELL YOU REALLY SHOULDN’T READ TOO MANY INTERNET COMMENTS. OKAY.

I’M TELL THEM. BYE. TINY AGNES WOULD LIKE EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT SHE AND TINY JENS ARE IN FACT GOOD FRIENDS. WHERE WAS I AND WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP LEAVING PHONES AROUND THE STUDIO. NOW LET’S GO OVER HOW YOU CAN BE PART OF AN EPIC SHOWDOWN. DON’T LET THIS DECISION BE MADE

WITHOUT YOUR VOICE. BE READY TO CAST YOUR VOTES. FIRST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A Twitter ACCOUNT. IF YOU DON’T. GO TO TWITTER.com, SIGN UP AND MAKE SURE YOU’RE LOGGED IN. I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THE VOTING STARTS. THEN GO TO THE MINECRAFT Twitter ACCOUNT TO FIND THE LATEST POLL.

THINK CAREFULLY AND DEBATE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND MAKE A DECISION AND CLICK ON THE MOB YOU WANT TO MAKE IT INTO MINECRAFT. THERE WILL BE TWO VOTING SESSIONS AND I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN EACH ONE BEGINS. FOR NOW JUST BE READY AND KEEP DREAMING OF VICTORY FOR YOUR FAVORITE MOB.

>> MY NAME IS YESENIA CISNEROS, AND I AM THE GAMEPLAY PRODUCER FOR MINECRAFT EARTH. I AM SO EXCITED TO BE A PART OF MINECRAFT LIVE THIS YEAR AND TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH YOU, OUR AMAZING COMMUNITY! IT’S BEEN SO FUN SEEING WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DOING WITH THE GAME.

I’VE SEEN LOTS OF CREATIONS SHARED EACH WEEK AND I WISH I WERE THAT CREATIVE·I MEAN, WOW. WHILE EVERYONE HAS BEEN DISCOVERING NEW HOBBIES, I HAVE BEEN LOGGING IN EACH DAY TO COLLECT A NEW ADVENTURE CRYSTAL, WHICH LETS ME PLAY LIFE-SIZE ADVENTURES IN AUGMENTED REALITY IN VARIOUS PARTS OF MY HOME.

MY DOGS ARE VERY CONFUSED TO SAY THE LEAST. IT SEEMS LIKE I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO’S BEEN GOING ON LOTS OF ADVENTURES – WE’VE HAD MORE THAN 5 MILLION ADVENTURES PLAYED THROUGHOUT EARLY ACCESS. HOLY MOOBLOOM! THAT IS AMAZING! I HAVE ALSO BEEN COMPLETING SEASON AND DAILY CHALLENGES TO COLLECT MOBS, EVEN MORE

ADVENTURE CRYSTALS AND EXCLUSIVE CHARACTER CREATOR ITEMS THAT CAN ALSO BE USED IN BEDROCK. SOMETIMES, WHEN THE WEATHER IS JUST RIGHT IN MY HOUSE·LIGHTNING STRIKES AND A NEW MOB IS MADE! LATER THIS MONTH, WE HAVE TWO NEW MOBS JOINING MINECRAFT EARTH, AND I HEAR THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE QUITE A SPLASH!

SPEAKING OF MOBS· OUR BELOVED MOOBLOOM FROM MINECRAFT EARTH HAS A CHANCE TO BE BROUGHT INTO VANILLA. HOW COOL IS THAT?! NOW· I’M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHO SHOULD VOTE FOR BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS·ONE OF THESE MOBS IS DEFINITELY WAY MORE ADORABLE THAN THE REST. SO, CHOOSE WISELY.

IN OUR LAST COUPLE OF RELEASES, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT WE ADDED SLIMEBALL AND SLIME BLOCKS. WITH THAT, I’M SUPER EXCITED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE ADDING PISTONS AND STICKY PISTONS TO MINECRAFT EARTH! BE ON THE LOOKOUT NEXT WEEK FOR A CONTENT UPDATE, AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE AWESOME

CREATIONS YOU MAKE WITH BLOCKS, ITEMS, AND NOW REDSTONE CONTRAPTIONS. OUR FRIENDS MUMBO JUMBO AND GRIAN RECENTLY TOOK A MINECRAFT EARTH ROADTRIP AND MADE THEIR OWN AWESOME CREATIONS. LET’S GET A SNEAK PEEK AT WHAT THEY DISCOVERED. >> HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS MUMBO AND THIS IS MY FRIEND GRIAN.

AND THIS IS MY 1974 VW BUS. >> THERE IS NO AIR-CONDITIONING. THERE IS NO HEATING. THERE IS NO RADIO. THERE IS NO ANTILOCKING BRAKES. NO POWER STEERING. >> IT’S GOT SEATBELTS. >> I’VE OWNED IT FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS. AND TO BE FRANKLY HONEST IT’S PANTS. TIMES WERE DEFINITELY DIFFERENT

IN THE 1970s SO IT’S RIDICULOUSLY SLOW DEFINITELY LACKING SOME OF THE MODERN COMFORTS YOU WOULD USUALLY EXPECT TO FIND IN A CAR THESE DAYS. >> WE ARE EMBARKING ON A GRAND TOUR OF ENGLAND GOING FROM THE SOUTH COAST UP TO WALES AND IT’S GOING TO TAKE US THREE WHOLE DAYS.

>> I’LL BE HONEST MATE. WOULD YOU CLASSIFY THIS AS A GRAND TOUR? >> WELL, YES. WE HAVE NO RADIO SO, IT’S GOING TO FEEL A LOT LONGER. >> YOU SEE, THIS ISN’T A REGULAR ROAD TRIP IN A RUBBISH OLD VAN. THIS IS A MINECRAFT EARTH ROAD TRIP IN A RUBBISH OLD VAN.

WITH MINECRAFT EARTH BEING A GAME YOU CAN PLAY ON THE MOVE. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TRAVEL TO A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN THE U.K. SOME OF THEM ARE ICONIC. SOME OF THEM JUST FEEL VERY MINECRAFTY. AND SOME OF THEM ARE BARELY LINKED TO MINECRAFT AT ALL.

>> BUT WE JUST REALLY WANTED TO GO TO THEM SO WE DID. >> HE TOOK IT OUT. >> WE’LL SEE HOW TO GO INTEGRATING MINECRAFT EARTH WITH REAL LIFE. MINECRAFT EARTH FRISBEE IS A BIT OF A CHALLENGE. >> SORRY. >> MINECRAFT EARTH BADMINTON CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS TO ONLOOKERS. >> SORRY.

>> AND REAL LIFE SAND BLOCKS ARE ALARMINGLY DIFFICULT TO CONSTRUCT. IF I JUST FILM THIS ANGLE, THERE WE GO. THERE IS OUR SAND BLOCK. >> ALL IN ALL THOUGH THE ROAD TRIP WAS A HUGE SUCCESS AND WE HAD A LOT OF FUN. YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE THE FULL

LENGTH EPISODES APPEARING ON OUR CHANNELS VERY, VERY SOON. >> WOW, IT LOOKS LIKE MUMBO JUMBO AND GRIAN HAD QUITE THE MINECRAFT EARTH ADVENTURE. AT MOJANG STUDIOS’ WE’VE ALSO BEEN MAKING MORE ORIGINAL CONTENT THAN EVER BEFORE ON OUR MINECRAFTYOUTUBE CHANNEL. OUR GOAL IS TO CREATE SHOWS THAT GIVE YOU INSIDE KNOWLEDGE

DIRECTLY FROM OUR TEAM. WE’RE EVEN GIVING AWAY ALL OUR SECRETS IN A NEW SERIES CALLED, “HOW WE MAKE MINECRAFT” – WHICH, HONESTLY, FEELS SORT OF RISKY! AND GUESS WHAT? WE HAVE LOTS MORE AWESOME MINECRAFT CONTENT ON THE WAY. HERE’S A LOOK AT WHAT SHOWS YOU’LL FIND ON OUR CHANNEL.

HERE’S 10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT — >> YO-YO. MY NAME IS JENS — >> WAIT, NO. STOP. >> HOW CAN STEVE PUNCH CACTUS WITHOUT GETTING HURT? >> I KNOW CACTUS HAS PRICKLIES BUT PUNCHING A TREE PROBABLY HURTS TOO. >> EVERYONE JUST STARTS PANICKING. >> PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE.

I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT. BUT REALLY YOU SHOULD. IT’S GOOD STUFF. IN 2017 YOU VOTED FOR THE TERROR THAT IS THE PHANTOM AND I PERSONALLY HAVE NOT FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT. IN 2018 THE TIAGA WON THE VOTE. LAST YEAR IT WAS THE MOUNTAINS WITH OUR SOON TO BE FRIENDS THE GOATS.

WHAT WILL YOU THE MINECRAFT COMMUNITY DO THIS YEAR? LET’S REVIEW OUR CHOICES ONCE MORE. I WAS INSPIRED BY SOME OF THE AMAZING HANDCRAFTED THINGS I’VE SEEN MADE BY OUR COMMUNITY OVER THE YEARS. SO I DECIDED TO MAKE MY OWN VERSIONS. HI, BABIES. FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES. I THINK I DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB.

TOOK ME THREE MONTHS EACH. ALL THE WAY FROM MINECRAFT DUNGEONS WE HAVE THE ICEOLOGER. THEY MAKE CLOUDS OF ICE THAT SMASH DOWN ON WHOMEVER THEY ARE ATTACKING. NOT QUITE AS CHILL AS THEY LOOK. FROM MINECRAFT EARTH WE HAVE THE ADORABLE MOOBLOOM. AND I’M PRETTY SURE THEY WILL BE BEST PALS WITH BEES.

ALSO THE GLOW SQUID. AS THE TINY TRIO WILL SURELY ATTEST THEY SURE YOU ARE DISTRACTING TO LOOK AT. THE FIRST VOTING POLL IS NOW LIVE ON THE MINECRAFT Twitter ACCOUNT. MAKE SURE YOU’RE LOGGED IN. GO TO THE POLL RIGHT NOW AND CLICK THE MOB YOU WANT TO WIN.

WE’LL CHECK BACK IN BEFORE WE START THE SECOND AND FINAL POLL. NOW THOUGH I’D LIKE TO WELCOME LAURA TO MY DESK TO TALK ABOUT THE D — DUNGIEST. >> I’M A GAME DESIGNER WHICH MEANS I’M THE ONE THAT GETS TO DECIDE HOW DIFFICULT THE BOSSES ARE SO I’M SORRY ABOUT THAT ONE.

YOU CAN BLAME ME FOR THAT. >> I THINK PEOPLE WILL BLAME YOU FOR THAT. >> THAT’S OKAY. >> WHILE I HAVE YOU HERE ON THE STAGE WHICH MOB ARE YOU VOTING FOR? >> IF I DON’T SAY I’M VOTING FOR THE ICEOLOGER MY TEAM WILL KILL ME BUT IT’S AN AMAZING MOB.

IT BRINGS A LOT OF FUN TO DUNGEON AND TO MINECRAFT AS WELL. >> I FIGURED YOU WOULD SAY THAT BUT I HAD TO ASK. SO TELL ME ABOUT THE LAUNCH OF DUNGEON THESE YEAR. >> IS THAT WAS QUITE THE RIDE. IT WAS SUCH A CRAZY LAUNCH. I DON’T THINK ANYBODY ON THE

TEAM EVER EXPECTED TO RELEASE A GAME FROM HOME. WE WERE SHARING STREAMS WITH EACH OTHER AND SHARING VIDEOS AND COMMENTS FROM PLAYERS AND IT WAS VERY GOOD. IT WAS FUN IN A DIFFERENT WAY. >> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY WAS YOUR FAVORITE THING FROM THE RELEASE? >> I THINK IT WAS HOW PEOPLE

CAME TOGETHER TO PLAY THE GAME. IT WAS VERY FUN TO SEE PARENTS SHOW THEIR CHILDREN DUNGEON CRAWLERS AND CHILDREN SHOW THEIR PARENTS MINECRAFT. IT WAS VERY NICE TO SEE EVERYONE SIT TOGETHER AND ENJOY AND PLAY. >> THAT IS WONDERFUL. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE COMMUNITY HAS DONE WITH WHAT HAS

COME OUT WITH SO FAR. >> OH, MAN. >> WHOA!!!. The simple straightforward items and definitely a nice addition to the game. A GOOD REPLACEMENT FOR THE WANDERING TRADER. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS THAT HAS POSSIBLY COME TO THE GAME.

>> OH, BOY. OH, BOY. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I SEE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. I SEE WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. STOP KILLING THE PANDAS YOU MONITOR. STOP KILLING THE PAN — PANDAS. >> YOU ARE FREE VILLAGER. >> I’VE GOT IN VISIBILITY POTION. >> HOLY SMOKES! BOOM. YOU ALL RIGHT? >> YEAH.

YEAH. >> LOOK. THERE IS A PIG. GET THE PIG. >> OH, GOD. >> THAT LOOKS SO FUN. >> IT’S SO COOL TO SEE PEOPLE HAVE FUN WITH THE GAME. >> AND IT’S FUN TO PLAY AND WATCH. >> I HOPE SO AT LEAST. >> BUT THIS WEEK YOU ALSO WOULD ANOTHER LAUNCH.

>> THIS MONTH HAS BEEN A CRAZY MONTH. WE RELEASED FIRST THE CREEPING WINTER TOGETHER WITH OUR NEW MERCHANTS AND OUR DAILY TRIALS. WE LAUNCHED FOR X CLOUD SO NOW PEOPLE CAN PLAY MOBILE WHICH IS SO FUN. AND THIS WEEK WE JUST LAUNCHED IN CHINA SO NOW WE GET TO

WELCOME OUR CHINESE FRIENDS TO THE COMMUNITY AND I’M SUPER HAPPY ABOUT THAT. >> NOW WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM THE COMMUNITY FOR YOU. >> OKAY. HE KIND OF SNUCK TWO QUESTIONS IN. >> BUT GREAT QUESTIONS AND THANK YOU FOR SENDING THEM. REGARDING THE FIRST QUESTION I THINK WE WERE VERY EXCITED TO

SEE HOW FAST PEOPLE FOUND THE SECRET MUSHROOM LEVEL. I WAS VERY CONFUSED BECAUSE WE HAD WORKED VERY HARD ON MAKING IT SECRETIVE AND HAVING SNIPPETS OF THINGS BUT PLAYERS ARE SO SMART. THEY FOUND IT SO FAST SO IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE MUSHROOM LEVEL CHECK IT OUT. IT’S SO FUN.

>> AND THE SECOND QUESTION. >> SO, THAT IS WHAT WE’RE HERE TO TALK ABOUT TODAY. WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR COMING — THAT WE PREPARED WITH OUR FRIENDS AND THAT IS CALLED THE HOWLING PEAKS. WE’RE GOING TO THE MOUNTAINS WITH DUNGEON AS WELL. >> LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME LIVE GAMEPLAY.

>> LET’S CHECK IT OUT. WE HAVE FOUR MEMBERS OF THE DUNGEONS TEAM. WITH THE NINTENDO SWITCH AND HERE IS CHRIS AT THE PC. AND HERE IS DAVID AT THE PLAYSTATION 4 AND Xbox One WE HAVE ANNIKA SO WE GET TO SHOW YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME CROSS PLAY.

SO PEOPLE CAN PLAY TOGETHER FROM EVERYWHERE. >> THAT IS EXCITING. >> THAT IS OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE MOUNTAINS BIOME COMING TO DUNGEON. >> I SEE A GOAT RIGHT THERE. >> WE WERE SO HAPPY. WE OF ASKED THE MINECRAFT TEAM IF WE COULD BRING GOATS TO DUNGEONS AND THEY SAID YES.

SO WE’RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT. THEY ARE EEK WALKLY AS MISCHIEVOUS. >> I SEE A LOT OF WIND COMING OUT. >> WIND IS A MECHANIC THAT WE’RE GOING TO EXPLORE A LOT IN THE MOUNTAINS MISSIONS. AND THE PLAYERS WILL BE BOTH CHALLENGED BY IT AND WILL BE ABLE TO USE IT.

THE WIND WILL PUSH THE PLAYER SO YOU NEED TO BE A BIT CAREFUL BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SOLVE PUZZLES AND OPEN DOORS. >> THAT IS AWESOME. >> WHAT IS THIS? >> WHERE MOUNTAIN BIOMES ARE SO TALL THAT THE PLAYER WILL NEED

TO FIND NEW WAYS TO TRAVERSE THE LEVELS. THAT IS A LIFT. THERE ARE THESE CONTRAPTIONS AROUND. >> THAT SEEMS LIKE A REALLY FUN NEW MECHANIC. >> THE GOATS ARE ALL AROUND AND YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL. >> I SAW THEM ATTACK. >> THEY ARE GOING TO PUSH YOU

OUT TO THE EDGE IF YOU’RE NOT CAREFUL. >> LEAVE THE GOATS ALONE. >> YES. AND AS YOU SEE THE ICEOLOGERS THAT YOU CAN FIND ARE VERY READY FOR THE WEATHER SO THEY ARE WEARING THEIR COZY CLOTHES AND THEY ARE WIND RESISTANT WHICH MEANS THE PLAYERS WILL BE CHALLENGED BY THE WIND THE

ICEOLOGER WON’T. AND THESE ARE WIND CRAWLERS. COMING FOR THE FIRST TIME. THAT IS ANOTHER MINECRAFT MOB THAT WE GET TO WELCOME. THEY ARE QUITE STURDY. >> WHAT DO THE WIND CALLERS DO? >> THEY SPAWN A DRAFT OF WIND RIGHT UNDER THE PLAYER AND THEY PUSH THE PLAYER UP.

IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO DEAL WITH THEM QUICK OR RUN AWAY BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE PAINFUL TO COMBAT OTHERWISE. >> THEY ARE DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB. >> YES. OUR ADVENTURES ARE STRONG. >> THREE– THREE RAVAGERS. >> WE’RE SUPER HAPPY ABOUT THAT. WE HOPE EVERYONE CAN SOON PLAY TOGETHER.

THAT WAS AN ICEOLOGER. I WANTED TO SAY THAT IS MY FAVORITE MOB BUT IT WENT TOO FAST. YES. >> ALL RIGHT. WE’RE LEADING UP TO THIS BIG RAVAGER BATTLE. >> YES. BUT I THINK WE CAN LET OUR ADVENTURERS DEAL WITH THE RAVAGERS. >> NOT VERY WELL. SO WITH ALL OF THIS YOU ALSO

HAVE A NEW GAME MODE COMING. >> YEAH. THE GAME MODE IS COMING VERY, VERY SOON FOR ALL OF THE PLAYERS FOR FREE. IT’S CALLED APOCALYPSE PLUS. WHICH MEANS WE’RE MAKING THE GAME JUST YOU KNOW HARDER, A BIT AT A TIME. YEAH. >> WHEN YOU CALL SOMETHING APOCALYPSE IT SOUNDS VERY HARD. >> YEAH.

APOCALYPSE PLUS MEANS IT GETS EVEN HARDER. NEW CHALLENGES AND WE FOUND DIFFERENT WAYS TO BALANCE SO THE CHALLENGE IS DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. >> THAT IS A LOT OF STUFF. YOU’RE WORKING ON EVEN MORE NEW THINGS FOR DUNGEONS. >> A TON OF STUFF. WE’VE BEEN SO BUSY. IT’S CRAZY BUT YEAH WE HAVE

TODAY A LITTLE VIDEO WITH A LOT OF WORK IN PROGRESS. >> VERY WORK IN PROGRESS. >> BUT I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE VIDEO. >> WAIT. THAT IS MY LINE. >> I’M SORRY. >> ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS THAT WE DO AT MOJANG STUDIOS IS MINECRAFT: EDUCATION EDITION.

STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD ARE ABLE TO LEARN IN EXCITING AND INTERACTIVE WAYS USING THE GAME AS A LEARNING-BASED PLATFORM. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN 115 COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD ARE ABLE TO COLLABORATE, LEARN, AND SHARE TOGETHER. MINECRAFT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WAY TO CONNECT PEOPLE AND WE’VE SEEN THAT NOW MORE THAN EVER WITH

MINECRAFT: EDUCATION EDITION BEING USED IN REMOTE LEARNING. WHEN YOU’RE IN THE GAME, YOU DON’T HAVE TO FEEL SO FAR AWAY FROM YOUR CLASSMATES. FROM CREATING GRADUATION CEREMONIES IN JAPAN, TO CREATING FIRST DAY ORIENTATIONS FOR AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES, TO TEACHERS DOING VIRTUAL MEETUPS ━ WE’VE SEEN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS USING THE

GAME IN INCREDIBLE WAYS. TODAY WE ARE LAUNCHING OUR FIRST EVER MINECRAFT: EDUCATION EDITION GLOBAL CHALLENGE FOR STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD WITH US. YOU CAN REGISTER TODAY AND DOLPHINS VISITED THE PORT IN SARDINIA ITALY. BUT WHAT IF ANIMALS COULD SHARE SPACE WITH HUMANS ALL THE TIME?

TODAY WE’RE KICKING OFF THE FIRST EVER MINECRAFT EDUCATION GLOBAL BUILD CHAMPIONSHIP AND ASKING STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD TO DESIGN AND BUILD HEALTHY SPACES FOR HUMANS AND ANIMALS TO COEXIST TOGETHER. WHAT WILL YOU BUILD. >> I’M A DEVELOPER. I BUILT A SERIES OF UNDERWATER TUBES. >> HELLO, EVERYONE.

IF I WERE TO DESIGN A BUILD FOR THE GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP I WOULD MAKE A HOUSE WITH A HABITAT FOR MY CATS ON TOP AND I WOULD CALL IT A HABICAT. >> DESIGN AND BUILD YOUR OWN SOLUTION IN MINECRAFT EDUCATION EDITION FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN MINECOINS, AWESOME MINECRAFT

GEAR AND A VIDEO CHAT WITH MOJANG STUDIOS. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OPENS TODAY. >> YOU CAN REGISTER TODAY AND TEMPLATE. WE CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOUR AMAZING IDEAS AND JENS AND I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE WINNER ON VIDEO CHAT. WE GET THE AWESOME PRIZE OF CHATTING WITH YOU NO MATTER WHO WINS!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T HAVE EDUCATION EDITION, WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU TOO, OUR EDUCATION TEAM HAS ALREADY ADDED AMAZING FREE LESSONS TO MINECRAFT MARKETPLACE. WE’VE ALSO BEEN WORKING WITH SOME AMAZING EDUCATORS ON A NEW SERIES ABOUT DIVERISTY AND INCLUSION COMING THIS FALL. >> HI, MINECRAFT LIVE. I’M KENNETH SHELTON.

AND ALONG WITH MY FELLOW EDUCATORS, ALISA FORD AND NATASHA RACHELLE WE’VE BEEN BUILDING A SERIES OF MINECRAFT LESSONS THAT WILL HELP PEOPLE EXPLORE TOPICS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE, EQUITY, IDENTITY AND TOLERANCE. THE FIRST OF THESE LESSONS IS CALLED GOOD TROUBLE AND IT’S BASED ON THE LIFE AND PHILOSOPHY OF CONGRESSMAN AND CIVIL RIGHTS

ACTIVIST JOHN LEWIS. THE ADDITIONAL LESSONS CONTINUE TEACHING ABOUT SOCIAL JUSTICE FROM ACROSS THE WORLD AND THROUGH TIME FROM BLACK LIVES MATTER TO MALALA’S QUEST IN PAKISTAN TO ACHIEVE EQUAL EDUCATION FOR GIRLS TO THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OF 1960s AMERICA TO THE WOMEN’S SUFFRAGETTE MOVEMENT AND MORE. WE CAN’T WAIT TO SHARE THESE

IMPORTANT LESSONS WITH THE MINECRAFT COMMUNITY. >> I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING THROUGH THE GOOD TROUBLE LESSONS. TOGETHER WE COMMEMORATED JUNETEENTH WITH CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THE NAACP LEGAL DEFENSE FUND. WE’RE PROUD TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS THAT FIGHT FOR EQUITY AND EQUALITY IN THE WORLD BY MAKING AN

ADDITIONAL DONATION TODAY TO THE NAACP LEGAL DEFENSE FUND. THIS BRINGS OUR 2020 CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVER $2 MILLION. BEYOND THIS WE CONTINUE TO LOOK WITHIN OUR COMPANY OUR PRODUCTS AND OURSELVES FOR HOW WE CAN HELP CREATE A MORE INCLUSIVE WORLD. NOW IT’S TIME FOR A BRAND-NEW SEGMENT OF OUR SHOW.

YOU MAY HAVE MISSED OUR NEXT GUEST DURING THE UPDATE SEGMENT BUT NOT TO WORRY YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET SOME DEDICATED TIME WITH THE ONE AND ONLY JEB. >> HELLO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> IT WAS VERY DIFFERENT NOT HAVING YOU IN THE MINECRAFT UPDATE SECTION. >> YES. YES.

IT’S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS YEAR SINCE WE ALWAYS WANT THE ONE THAT’S ARE ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE FEATURES OF THE GAMES TO BE THE ONES THAT GET TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE FEEL IT GETS — THAT WAY. >> SO WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON? >> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

I OF COURSE STILL SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH VANILLA AND AGNES AND THE TEAM BUT I NOW WORK WITH ALL OF OUR PRODUCTS ALL OF OUR GAMES AND LIKE THE BOARD GAMES. AND TRY TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPERS AND DESIGNERS TO CAPTURE THE MINECRAFT FEELING AND MAKE THEM FIT TOGETHER.

BUT HONESTLY EVERYONE IS SO TALENTED THAT IT’S ACTUALLY QUITE AN EASY JOB. BUT TO HELP EVERYONE — IN STOCKHOLM AND REDMOND I WROTE A BOOK. >> ARE YOU TRYING TO SELL THAT TO EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WATCHING? >> NO. THIS IS ONLY FOR MOJANG STUDIOS. IT CONTAINS A LOT OF SECRETS.

BUT WHAT IS HELPING WHEN THE TEAM GREW TO EXPLAINED MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS ABOUT MINECRAFT. AND THERE ARE SOME GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT ARE GOING TO HELP US CONTINUE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. >> BUT YOU DID DECIDE TO SHARE SOME TODAY SO PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT IS IN THE JEB GAME DESIGN BOOK.

>> ABSOLUTELY. SO ONE OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES IS MAYBE SOUNDS OBVIOUS BUT THAT IS — SPAWN ONE BLOCK AT A TIME. YOU PLACE ONE BLOCK. YOU REMOVE ONE BLOCK. YOU TRIGGER ONE TnT AND THAT CAUSES A BIG EXPLOSION. ALWAYS ONE BLOCK AT A TIME. NOT ONLY IMPORTANT FOR THE WAY

YOU PLAY THE GAME BUT ALSO IF YOU’RE PLAYING TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE LET’S SAY YOU’RE BUILDING A HOUSE THEN I WILL BE ABLE TO OBSERVE WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND QUICKLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU’RE GOING AND THEN I CAN HELP YOU AND EVERY BLOCK COUNTS. IF YOU WOULD JUST CUT AND PASTE

AND MAKE TEMPLATES THEN IT WOULD A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO COLLABORATE. AND ALSO MINECRAFT IS A LOT ABOUT THE JOURNEY TO CREATE A MASSIVE CASTLE OR WHATEVER. BUT IT’S IMPORTANT TO RETAIN THAT FEELING. >> AND YOU HAVE ANOTHER PRINCIPLE BUT IT APPLIES DIRECTLY TO A COMMUNITY QUESTION WE HAVE. WOW, JENS.

>> I HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO HONESTLY BUT ABOUT THE QUESTION IF WE’RE GOING TO ADD THINGS LIKE NATURAL DISASTERS. THAT KIND OF CONTRADICTS ONE OF OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES THAT BAD THINGS HAPPEN BUT THEY ARE TECHNICALLY THE PLAYER’S FAULT. >> OKAY. THEY ARE THE PLAYER’S FAULT.

>> IN THE SENSE THAT IT WAS EITHER CAUSED BY A PLAYER OR A PLAYER WAS NEARBY SUCH AS WHEN A CREEPER EXPLODES. SO WHEN SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PLAYERS ARE EITHER ACTIVELY TAKING PART IN THAT OR HAVE A WAY TO PREVENT THAT AND AN

EARTHQUAKE OR TORNADO WOULD DESTROY SOMETHING THAT YOU’VE SPENT HOURS BUILDING. >> BUT THERE IS DEFINITELY A FEW THAT CAN I THINK OF THAT MAYBE FALL OUTSIDE THIS PRINCIPLE. >> THERE ARE STILL A FEW CASES AND — YOU CAN GRAB A BLOCK AND MAYBE HIT SOME REDSTONE OR HAVE AN UNLUCKY WOLF RUNNING INTO

YOUR SHEEP GARDEN BUT ALSO THINGS LIKE LIGHTNING STRIKES THAT SET YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE. BUT I’M HOPING THAT AGNES AND THE TEAM MAY HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT. >> EXCITING. SO WHAT IS THE LAST FEATURE YOU WERE ACTIVE IN DEVELOPING? >> YES. THE LAST FEATURE I DID WAS THE NETHERITE FEATURE.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE NETHER UPDATE AND I WANTED TO HELP WHERE I CAN. BUT I DON’T WANT TO — SINCE I’M WORKING WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT PRODUCTS NOW I DON’T WANT TO DO SOMETHING HALFWAY AND LEAVE IT TO THE TEAMS TO FIX MY BUGS SO I

TRY TO BE A LITTLE BIT HANDS OFF. BUT RECENTLY I OF COURSE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON MAKING A COMBAT TEST SNAPSHOTS. >> THAT LEADS US TO ANOTHER COMMUNITY QUESTION. >> I’D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF COMBAT CHANGES ARE BEING MADE. >> YES. AND THAT’S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A PROBLEM ON THE TWO DIFFERENT EDITIONS. TWO DIFFERENT COMBAT — MECHANICS OR SYSTEMS. WE HAVE TO TAKE BOTH SYSTEMS INTO ACCOUNT BUT ALSO BAD FOR THE COMMUNITY WHO ALSO WANTS TO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIECE. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO REACH PARITY BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE MAKE A SYSTEM THAT FITS WITH THE BUILDING AND DOES NOT DISTRACT TOO MUCH FROM BUILDING BUT STILL GIVES US THE STEPS THAT ALLOW US TO DESIGN INTERESTING BEHAVIORS. ALSO, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WORKS BOTH GOOD IN BOTH PLAYERS ENVIRONMENT AND I WANT

TO MAKE SURE IS THAT IT FEELS GOOD PLAYING WITH THE KEYBOARD AND THE CONTROLLER. YOU DON’T GET TIRED BY USING THE TRIGGER AND WE ALSO WANT TO IMPROVE THE TOUCH EXPERIENCE. SO IT’S A LOT TO DO. >> BUT YOU SAID YOU WERE NOT WORKING ON FEATURE DEVELOPMENT. BUT YOU ARE WORKING — COMBAT?

>> YES. OF COURSE, IT’S A LITTLE BIT HARD TO KEEP YOUR HANDOUT OF THE FEATURE COOKIE JAR. BUT IN THIS CASE I ALSO FELT THIS WAS AN AREA WHERE I COULD HELP THE TEAM SO THEY COULD FOCUS ON DOING THE CONTENT UPDATES BUT AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE I WILL OF

COURSE DUMP THIS ON THE TEAM. >> SO EXACTLY WHAT SAID. YOU DON’T WANT TO DO. >> AND THEY WILL HAVE TO CARRY IT OVER THE FINISH LINE. >> NICE. NOW SPEAKING OF COMBAT WE JUST HAD A REALLY COOL ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT ALEX AND STEVE COMING TO SUPER SMASH BROTHERS.

>> AND THAT IS SO AMAZING. JUST LIKE I SAID MY JOB GETS EASIER BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SO TALENTED AND IN THIS CASE THE TEAM THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND MINECRAFT AND HAVE MADE AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SMASH FIG FIGHTER. >> AND AN AMAZING VIDEO FOR ALL OF US IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> IS THAT WAS A REALLY BIG SECRET TO KEEP. >> YES. AND IT WAS REALLY HARD SECRET TO KEEP EVEN IN THE STUDIO BECAUSE IT WAS SUPER SECRET BUT IT HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN TO WORK ON. >> IT’S AMAZING TO SEE THE COMMUNITIES REACTION. WE’RE GOING TO SWITCH GEARS HERE.

YOU HAVE A FAMOUS SAYING WITHIN THE OFFICE WHICH IS THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF EVERYONE PLAYED MINECRAFT. AND WHY DO YOU THINK THAT? >> I SUPPOSE THE QUOTE HAS GOTTEN A LIFE OF ITS OWN. >> IT DEFINITELY HAS. >> YES. I THINK MINECRAFT UNLEASHES PEOPLE’S CREATIVITY AND HELPS

THEM COLLABORATE BUT ALSO TEACHES THEM THINGS LIKE GEOMETRY AND LANGUAGES AND MAPS. SO YES I DO THINK THAT THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF EVERYONE PLAYED MINECRAFT BUT I KNOW YOU ALSO ARE VERY ENGAGED IN DEALING A BETTER WORLD. >> YOU’RE INTERVIEWING ME NOW. I THINK I FEEL SO PRIVILEGED TO

WORK ON MINECRAFT BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT PEOPLE DO WITH IT FROM EDUCATION EDITION AND BLOCK BY BLOCK. IT’S REALLY HELPING PEOPLE REIMAGINE THEIR PUBLIC SPACE AND THEN HAVE IT BUILT. >> I LOVE THIS PLACE. IT’S SUCH A NICE AREA. BUT IT HAS NOT ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS.

>> WELL BEFORE THE AREA FELT VERY COLD AND UNSAFE. >> BASICALLY IT WAS JUST AN ABANDONED PLACE. >> BLOCK BY BLOCK IS A PROGRAM CREATED BY MOJANG AND UN HABITAT WHERE WE USE MINECRAFT TO HELP COMMUNITY MEMBERS REDESIGN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. KOSOVO HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY YEARS OF CONFLICT.

AND IN THOSE SITUATIONS WE OFTEN SEE COMMUNITIES DIVIDED AND PUBLIC SPACES NEGLECTED. >> IT WAS A REALLY COOL PROJECT BECAUSE EVEN THE LITTLE KIDS LIKE ME COULD HELP MAKE THE CITY A BETTER PLACE. >> THEY GOT TO USE MINECRAFT TO SKETCH AND TRY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS ABOUT HOW THE SPACE COULD BE IMPROVED.

>> IT WAS VERY FUN BECAUSE YOU FELT LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HELP THE CITY WHILE JUST PLAYING. >> AFTER THAT THE IDEAS WERE PRESENTED TO LOCAL ARCHITECTS AND CITY PLANNERS AND LATER THAT YEAR CONSTRUCTION STARTED. >> IT’S BEEN FIVE YEARS SINCE WE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM AND THE STREETS HAVE BECOME MORE

DEVELOPED AND IS NOW MORE FREQUENTED THAN BEFORE. IT SEEMED KIND OF UNBELIEVABLE THAT THIS WAS MADE WITH MINECRAFT. >> SO SEEING MY OWN IDEA AS A KID CHANGING A WHOLE AREA IN MY CITY IT WAS VERY SPECIAL TO ME. >> IT’S UNBELIEVABLE. THAT WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE

REALITY WHAT WAS ONCE ONLY AN IDEA IN OUR COMPUTER SCREEN. >> FINALLY DECISION MAKERS HAVE CHANGED THEIR PERSPECTIVE BECAUSE MAYBE THEY REALIZE THAT WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE. >> IN A DEMOCRACY YOU WANT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY TO BE ASKED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THAT COMMUNITY.

SO THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE. THE COMMUNITY WAS ASKED. THE COMMUNITY DECIDED. THE COMMUNITY DESIGNED AND THE COMMUNITY IS USING IT. >> I’M PROBABLY GOING TO BE LIKE REALLY HAPPY. HEY FRIENDS, I MADE THIS. >> I WALK HERE ALMOST EVERY DAY AND EVERY TIME I SEE IT AND I

SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE SPENDING TIME HERE. IT’S A VERY GRATIFYING FEELING. >> I JUST HOPE IT WILL BECOME REAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. >> SO THE REACTION OF THE COMMUNITY WAS GREAT AND TO ME IT WAS A GREAT FEELING WHICH I’LL NEVER FORGET. >> I CAME UP WITH THE SKATE PARK

IDEA AND SOME TREES SURROUNDING THE PARK. >> IT’S POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE WORLD AND MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. >> IT FELT LIKE I WAS BEING HEARD AND BEING HEARD AND LISTENED TO IS ONE OF THE BEST FEELINGS YOU CAN FEEL. >> I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO GO TO

KOSOVO AT THE START OF THE PROJECT AND IT’S AMAZING SEEING THE TRANSFORMATION USING MINECRAFT. >> IT’S AMAZING. YES. >> JENS YOU MUST HAVE SEEN A LOT OF AMAZING THINGS BECAUSE YOU’RE ABOUT TO HIT YOUR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY IN TWO OR THREE MONTHS. >> YES. IT’S TRUE. IT HAS BEEN AN AMAZING JOURNEY

THESE 10 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD SO MUCH FUN WORKING ON MINECRAFT. BUT OF COURSE I’M ALSO A MINECRAFT PLAYER AND WE’RE ALL LIKE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND IN THE END IT’S REALLY THE PLAYERS AND THE COMMUNITY THAT GIVES EVERYTHING ITS PURPOSE. >> YEAH. ABSOLUTELY AND FROM MYSELF AS

PART OF THE COMMUNITY I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE 10 YEARS AND ALL THAT YOU’VE DONE FOR MINECRAFT. IT’S MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE AND I THINK MANY PEOPLE WATCHING RIGHT NOW. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, JENS. LAST YEAR LIVE WE ANNOUNCED THE NETHER UPDATE.

MAYBE YOU’VE BEEN WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO ATTEND A NETHER BALLET. WONDER NO MORE. OUR FRIENDS WILL DANCE US THROUGH ALL OF THE NEW NETHER FEATURES. >> THE RESULTS OF THE FIRST ROUND OF VOTING ARE IN. THE ROUND WHICH DETERMINED WHICH MOB’S DREAMS WOULD BE DASHED

WITH NO HOPE OF MAKING IT INTO THE FINAL ROUND AND IT WAS INTENSE. BUT SADLY LET’S ALL SAY A FOND FAREWELL TO THE POOR MOOBLOOM AND FORGET IT EVER EXISTED. BECAUSE IT’S TIME TO VOTE AGAIN. WE’RE DOWN TO THE ICEOLOGER AND THE GLOW SQUID AND IN THE FIRST ROUND THEY WERE QUITE CLOSE.

I’M INTERESTED TO SEE. IF YOU MISSED THE FIRST ROUND OF VOTING MAKE SURE YOU GET IN ON THIS ONE. IT DETERMINES WHICH ONE OF THESE TWO MAKES IT INTO MINECRAFT. I KNOW WHO I WILL BE VOTING FOR. THE FINAL VOTING POLL IS LIVE NOW. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE IN HAVING A SAY.

LOG IN TO Twitter AND GO VOTE. >> HELLO. I’M, QUINN HEAD OF THE MARKETPLACE PARTNER PROGRAM. AND I’M JOINED BY TWO OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS INTRODUCE YOURSELVES? >> HI. I’M FANNY. I’M A DEVELOPER ON THE CREATIVE ASSISTANCE TEAM. WE CREATE FOR OUR CREATOR COMMUNITY AND SOME OF THEM ARE

VERY VISIBLE AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT THEM LATER. SOME OTHERS ARE MORE BEHIND THE SCENES AND HELP OUR CREATORS MAKE CONTENT THAT IS MORE EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE LIKE THE SKITTLE COMMAND THAT IS COMING OUT SOON. >> I’M JASON. I’M A DEVELOPER ON THE ENGINE ALL CREATORS. SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SHOW US

TODAY? >> FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS WE’VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF WORK WITH THE ENTITIES IN THE GAME SO THIS TIME WE’VE DOUBLED DOWN AND GOTTEN IT SO THAT WE FOCUSED ON ITEMS AND BLOCKS SO AS PART OF THAT I’VE MADE A CUSTOM CROP TO SHOW OFF A LOT OF THE

CAPABILITIES. OVER THE SUMMER EVERYONE AT MOJANG STUDIOS WAS GIVEN TOMATO SEEDS TO TRY AND GROW TOMATO PLANTS AT HOME. SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS PERFECT INSPIRATION TO GO MAKE A CROP SO YOU CAN INTERACT AND PLACE THE SEEDS AND USE THE CROPS. SEE, THEY ARE KIND OF GROWING.

YOU’VE GOT A COUPLE OF THEM GETTING TO THE FLOWER STAGE. GOT A FEW NOW THAT I CAN ACTUALLY GO PICK. SO, IN THIS CASE I’VE MADE THEM WORK LIKE THE SWEET BERRY BUSH WHERE YOU CAN RIGHT CLICK ON THEM BUT I THINK TOMATOES TASTE DISGUSTING SO I THOUGHT IT WAS

BETTER TO MAKE THEM AS SOMETHING YOU CAN THROW. QUINN AND I HAD SOME FUN THROWING THEM AROUND. IT’S HARMLESS. SORT OF HARMLESS. >> TOTALLY HARMLESS. YOU KNOCKED ME IN THE LAVA. >> THAT WAS SO MEAN. >> MOSTLY BY ACCIDENT. >> BUT TOMATOES WILL ACTUALLY ROT ON THE VINE AS WELL AND IF

THEY ROT FOR TOO LONG YOU GET A LITTLE ROTTON TOMATO MONSTER WHERE THEY CAN SPAWN FROM IT. SO I’VE GOT TO FIGHT HIM OFF. HE THROWS ROTTEN TOMATOES. THEY DON’T FLY AS FAR AS A% REGULAR TOMATO BUT THEY KNOCK YOU BACK A LOT MORE. BUT BASED OFF ALL THIS STUFF I

THINK TOMATOES MAYBE AREN’T THE BEST IDEA SO I’M GOING TO GET RID OF ALL MY PLANTS AND NEVER GROW THEM AGAIN. >> I AGREE WITH YOU. >> BUT THEY ARE HEALTHY. >> THAT’S TRUE. THEY ARE PRETTY HEALTHY. SO WITH ALL OF THESE NEW CUSTOM CROPS, CREATORS CAN MAKE SOME

REALLY COOL FARMING STYLE MAPS. >> OH, DEFINITELY. SO, LIKE I THINK CROPS ARE REALLY GOOD AT SHOWING OFF HOW THEY ALL COME TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU CAN GET THE ITEMS THAT YOU GET THERE. NORMALLY YOU WOULD EAT THE ITEM OR YOU CAN MAKE PROJECTILES BUT THEY ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO

GET EVENTS THAT ARE FIRED FROM THINGS LIKE A TICK EVENT SO AS THAT EVENT IS FIRED YOU CAN MAKE THE BLOCK RUN THROUGH MULTIPLE STAGES OF GROWTH AND YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT LOOT SPAWNS AT VARIOUS STAGES OF GROWTH AND THINGS LIKE THAT. >> I THOUGHT IT WAS COOL HOW YOU

COULD INTERACT WITH THEM LIKE A NORMAL BERRY BUSH BUT THEN GET THE TOMATO. >> JUST ANOTHER INTERACTIVE EVENT TO KEY IN TO. >> AND THEN THERE IS THE TOMATO MONSTER THERE AT THE END TOO. >> I CALL HIM TOMEL. >> HE IS SO CUTE. HE IS NOT EVEN THAT SCARY BUT

YEAH, IT’S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THEM COMBINING EVENTS AND COMMANDS. IT’S ONE OF THE FEATURES THAT OUR CREATORS HAVE REQUESTED FOR SO LONG. JUST HAVING COMMANDS TO BE ABLE TO RUN THEM WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS. SO NOW INSTEAD OF ALSO IN ADDITION TO DOING IT WITH ACTORS

YOU CAN DO IT WITH BLOCKS AND ITEMS. IN THIS CASE AS THE FLOWER IS ROTTING YOU CAN DISAPPEAR THE CROP AND ALSO SOMEONE, THE TOMATO MONSTER. >> THAT IS REALLY COOL BECAUSE I CAN TOTALLY SEE CREATORS USING THE COMBINATION OF FEATURES TO MAKE SOMETHING REALLY COOL LIKE ADVENTURES WITH MAPS.

>> YEAH, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, THE LITTLE ADVENTURER WHERE WE CAN SHOW YOU WHERE WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE DESERT AND WE FOUND THIS MYSTERIOUS GOLDEN SKULL AND ALSO AN EQUALLY MYSTERIOUS PEDESTAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. SO WE DECIDED TO PLACE OUR GOLDEN SKULL OVER THERE AND SEE

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN AND YES WE HAVE A MOUNTAIN THAT IS HOLLOW AND BEING THE WARRIORS THAT WE ARE WE WENT EXPLORING AND OBVIOUSLY WE FOUND SOME CREEPY MONSTERS INSIDE. LUCKILY WE HAVE OUR TRUSTEE CUSTOM SWORD TO FIGHT THEM OFF. >> THAT HELPS. >> I’M NOT SURE WE EVEN SURVIVED THAT.

>> THAT DOESN’T SEEM VERY SAFE. >> NO. NOT AT ALL. >> THAT PEDESTAL. I KNOW THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST REQUESTED FEATURES. BLOCK MODELS. >> I’M SUPER EXCITED WE’VE FINALLY BEEN ABLE TO GET BLOCK MODELS IN. SOMETHING THAT WE’VE BEEN WANTING TO DO FOR YEARS.

WE WERE ABLE TO WORK ON THEM AND GET THEM IN. SO WE GOT IT WORKING WITH USING THE SAME FORMATS THAT WE’VE BEEN USING FOR THE ENTITIES. THE SAME TOOLS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN USING TO BUILD CUSTOM MOBS THEY CAN USE TO BUILD THE BLOCKS WITH. >> OH, THAT’S COOL.

SO YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO LEARN A NEW SKILL. >> IT’S ALMOST IDENTICAL. >> THAT’S AWESOME. AND I NOTICED ON THE HOT BAR WITH THE GOLDEN SKULL THERE WAS A RED TRIANGLE. WHAT WAS THAT? >> A NEW ITEM WE’RE CALLING ITEM LOCK. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU’VE FOUND YOURSELF SOMETIMES GOING THROUGH

SOME CONTENT AND YOU HAVE THIS SPECIAL ITEM AND THEN YOU DIE AND LOSE IT OR DROP IT ACCIDENTLY. NOW WE’VE MADE SO THAT CREATORS CAN LOCK SOMETHING AND IT WON’T GO AWAY. THAT WAY YOU DON’T LOSE YOUR MYSTERIOUS GOLDEN SKULL. >> THAT MAKES IT SUPER EASY BECAUSE I’VE DEFINITELY BEEN IN

AN ADVENTURE MAP AND I’VE LOST THE KEY ON ACCIDENT AND THEN I HAD TO GO AND TRY TO FIX THAT. >> YES. >> AND WHEN YOU PLACED THE SKULL THERE WAS A LOT GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND. >> THERE ARE THREE TO TALK ABOUT RIGHT THERE. THE FIRST ONE IS WE WANTED TO

GIVE MORE POWER TO CREATORS WITH CAMERAS. EVEN IF IT’S JUST A SMALL ONE WHERE WE SHAKE THE SCREEN. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED THAT ONE. AND THEN YOU CAN HELP PLAYERS CONVEY SOMETHING LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE IS GOING ON OR SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO FALL OVER YOU SO YOU CAN DO THAT.

>> OR DINOSAURS. >> OR DINOSAURS. YES. THE SECOND ONE THAT WE NOTICED THERE IS STRUCTURES, YOU CAN NOW PLACE THEM USING COMMANDS WHEREAS BEFORE YOU HAD BE USING A STRUCTURE BLOCK WHICH IS MORE COMPLICATED AND TIME-CONSUMING. NOW YOU CAN DO IT MUCH MORE EASILY AND AS PART OF THE

COMMANDS YOU CAN ANIMATE THE STRUCTURE PLACEMENT. FOR THOSE THAT KNOW THIS THE MOUNTAIN WAS OPENING AND THAT WAS JUST A STRUCTURE IN THE MAKING. WE PROVIDE A COUPLE OF EFFECTS. ONE IS JUST LIKE A 3-D PRINTING ANIMATION AND THE OTHER ONE IS LAYER BY LAYER. YOU CAN COMBINE THEM FOR COOL EFFECTS.

>> I CAN SEE CREATORS USING THOSE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF POLISH FOR THEIR WORLD. >> EXACTLY. >> AND THEN I RECOGNIZE THE SCORPIONS. >> THE DESERT THEME. IT FELT APPROPRIATE TO BRING THEM BACK. THEY’VE BEEN MY PERSONAL FAVORITE CUSTOM MOBS THAT I’VE EVER BUILT. >> AFTER WATCHING THAT VIDEO FOR

SO LONG I ENDED UP HAVING A NIGHTMARE ABOUT HAVING TO RESCUE MY MOM FROM ALIENS. IT WAS CREEPY. >> I’M SORRY. THAT WAS NOT THE INTENTION. >> IT WAS CREEPY AND FUNNY. >> SPEAKING OF ALIENS I KNOW OUR TEAM PUT TOGETHER A COOL SCI-FI PARKOUR MAP THAT THEY MADE YOU RUN THROUGH, JASON.

>> I’M PRETTY SURE THEY KNEW THIS WHEN THEY ASKED ME TO RUN THROUGH IT BUT I’M PRETTY AWFUL AT PARKOUR. SO TOOK A FEW TRIES TO GET A CLEAN RUN THROUGH. BUT AT THE BEGINNING HERE IT’S A PRETTY TYPICAL PARKOUR MAP OF RUNNING AND JUMPING BUT WE DEFINITELY HAVE SOME TWIST UP

AHEAD AND HERE IS THE FIRST ONE. EVEN I KNOW I CAN’T MAKE THAT JUMP. SO LET’S SEE WHAT IS IN THE CHEST. WE’VE GOT A SLIMENATOR. I’M PRETTY SURE YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE. HOPEFULLY I WILL JUMP AND BE ABLE TO CLEAR THIS GAP. GET TELEPORTED TO THE NEXT SECTION.

TRYING TO MAKE IT ALONG AND SEE WHAT NEXT OBSTACLE WE HAVE. NOW I KNOW THE CHEST HAVE USEFUL THINGS IN THEM SO WE’VE GOT A BLOCKINATOR. AND WE’LL THROW THAT ACROSS AND GET A LITTLE PLATFORM AND NOW I CAN MAKE THIS JUMP. EVEN I CAN MAKE THAT JUMP.

AND WE’VE GOT THE HOT TUG OR CYBER DOG BUT IT POISONED ME SO I NEED TO TEASE THE ANTIDOTE TO RESCUE ME. MADE IT ACROSS AND GET THROUGH HERE AND NOW WE’VE GOT A WALL IN THE WAY SO LET’S SEE WHAT TOOL WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE WALL.

AND INSTA-PRESTO WE GET THROUGH HERE. KEEP GOING ALONG. AND THIS SHOULD BE OUR LAST OBSTACLE HERE BUT I CAN SEE THE TELEPORT PAD BUT I CAN’T QUITE GET TO IT BUT THAT SHAFT UP ABOVE LOOKS PROMISING ALONG WITH THE LADDER. GO UP AND SEE WHAT WE’VE GOT HERE. FALL DOWN AND BLOCK BREAKS.

I CAN GET TO THE TELEPORTER AND FANNY IS ALREADY THERE. >> YOU MADE IT. >> FINALLY. >> WOW. THAT IS SUPER COOL. >> 86 TIMES. >> I LOVE THE AESTHETIC OF THAT. ALL THE ART AND THINGS. >> THOSE TELEPORT BLOCKS. THAT SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER COOL WAY TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF IMMERSIONS

TO THE WORLDS YOU’RE CREATING. >> WE GET SO MANY NEW EVENTS THAT YOU CAN ACT ON LIKE FOR EXAMPLE IN THE CASE OF THE TELEPORTERS YOU CAN STEP ON IT AND THEN AN EVENT WOULD TRIGGER. AND YOU CAN REACT IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. YOU CAN ADD PARTICLES OR IN THIS

CASE YOU CAN RUN A SERIES OF COMMANDS THAT TELEPORT YOU TO THE NEXT AREA. >> THAT’S AWESOME. AND I LOVE THE SLAMINATOR, THE BLOCKINATOR AND THE MAGIC WAND. I’VE NEVER SEEN ITEMS DO THAT BEFORE. >> YEAH, SO THAT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW COMBINING THE MANY DIFFERENT EFFECTS. FOR EXAMPLE THE SLIMENATOR WAS

USING THE VENT AND THE FIELD COMMAND TO REPLACE THE BLOCKS AT THE BOTTOM WITH THE SLIMES AND THEN THE NEXT ONE WE HAVE THE WAND AND THAT ONE IS JUST REPLACING BLOCKS WITH AIR AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE BLOCKINATOR WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO WALK BY REPLACING AIR BLOCKS SO

IT’S BY COMBINING THE SAME COMMAND IN DIFFERENT WAYS FOR SO MANY COOL EFFECT. >> SMALL BUT SIMPLE THINGS THAT YOU CAN COMBINE IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO GET A WIDE VARIETY. >> AND THAT BLOCKINATOR ALLOWED YOU TO MAKE THAT JUMP. >> YES. >> AND THEN I ALSO SAW THAT

THERE WAS MESSING WITH MOB EFFECTS TOO AS WELL. >> WE’VE HAD AN EXAMPLE OF CUSTOM FOOD IN THERE. BUT IN ADDITION TO JUST SATISFYING HUNGER LIKE A FOOD NORMALLY DOES. YOU CAN ADD AND REMOVE MOB EFFECTS. SO WE HAD THE CYBER DOG THAT GAVE THREE EFFECTS. THE LEVITATION, NAUSEA AND

POISON AND THEN WE HAVE THE ANTIDOTE THAT WOULD ONLY REMOVE TWO OF THEM. SO UNLIKE A BUCKET OF MILK THAT REMOVES ALL MOB EFFECTS YOU CAN MAKE THINGS THAT REMOVE VERY SPECIFIC THINGS. >> AND AFTER YOU USE THE MAGIC WANDS TO GET TO THAT WALL IT SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE STUCK BUT

THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON THERE. >> THE BLOCK THAT WAS IN MY WAY. SO WE MADE IT SO ANOTHER ONE OF THESE EVENTS SIMILAR TO THE ON STEP ON IS WE HAVE AN ON FALL ON. SO IN THIS CASE IT WAS AN ON FALL ON AND YOU CAN SET WHAT DISTANCE YOU

WANT THE EVENT TO TRIGGER. SO YOU HAVE TO FALL AT LEAST 10 BLOCKS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND WHEN YOU LAND ON IT WE THEN BREAK THE BLOCK SIMILAR TO THE TOMATO PLANT AND OTHER THINGS THAT WE SAW EARLIER. >> IT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK YOU QUITE A FEW TRIES TO GET THROUGH

BUT FANY WAS ABLE TO DO IT FIRST TRY. >> UNLIKE OTHERS. LIKE 86 TIMES. YEAH. ONE NEW FEATURE THAT WE HAVE IS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SHOW THE NAMES OF THE PLAYERS THAT ARE OF INTEREST AT THAT MOMENT AND ALSO SHOW SCORES LIKE IN THIS CASE WE WERE TRACKING HOW MANY TIMES.

>> THANK YOU BOTH FO COMING ON TO THE STAGE AND TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS THESE CREATOR TOOLS AND NEW FEATURES COMING OUT. WITH THESE NEW FEATURES THERE IS GOING TO BE A PRETTY AMAZING NEW THING COMING OUT LATER THIS YEAR FOR ALL MINECRAFT PLAYERS. >> REMEMBER GDL WILL NOT BE HELD

RESPONSIBLE IN THE EVENT OF A LIKELY DEATH. YOUR DESCENT WILL BEGIN IN THREE, TWO, ONE. >> WE KNOW YOU’VE WAITED A LONG TIME FOR THIS UPDATE AND IF YOU THOUGHT THE FIRST SET OF FEATURES FOR THE CAVES WERE AWESOME IT’S TIME FOR EVEN MORE AWESOMENESS. AGNES IS HERE TO TELL US WHAT

ELSE IS COME TOGETHER CAVES AND THE CLIFFS UPDATE. HELLO AND WELCOME. HOW DOES IT FEEL? >> IT’S SO AMAZING. IT’S SO AWESOME TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH EVERYONE. >> YES. IT’S GREAT AND WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF TWEETS DURING THE BREAK. >> WE HAVE MORE TWEETS.

>> WIRELESS REDSTONE IS COOL. >> YES. >> THERE ARE SO MANY COOL THINGS THAT YOU CAN BUILD WITH THAT. AND THE WARDEN. IT’S AMAZING TO SEE ALL OF THE EXCITEMENT. >> SO COOL. >> NIR YOU RECENTLY JOINED THE STUDIO. YES. I JOINED THIS YEAR BUT HONESTLY I’M NOT SURE HOW THAT HAPPENED

AND I’LL JUST — I’M NOT REALLY SURE HOW I’M HERE IN MINECRAFT LIVE BECAUSE JUST LAST YEAR I WAS HOME GLUED TO THE STREAM JUST — I HAD TO KNOW WHAT THE NEXT THING WOULD BE COMING TO MINECRAFT AND TODAY NOT ONLY DO I GET TO SHARE THAT BUT I GOT TO

WORK ON SOME OF THOSE THINGS SO, ITS FAIRLY INCREDIBLE. I’VE BEEN DEVELOPING GAMES FOR A FEW YEARS NOW AND MORE RECENTLY I’VE WORKED WITH THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CALLED GAMES FOR PEACE WHICH IS AN AMAZING ORGANIZATION WHICH BASICALLY USES GAMES TO PROMOTE PEACE. LIKE IT TAKES KIDS FROM AREAS OF

CONFLICT AROUND THE WORLD AND SITS THEM DOWN TO PLAY MINECRAFT. SOMETIMES THEY DON’T EVEN SHARE A LANGUAGE. MINECRAFT HELPS THEM CONNECT AND GETS TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND IT WAS AMAZING BEING PART OF THAT. >> SO COOL. I KNOW ALL OF THE AMAZING THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING AND THEN YOU

DESCRIBED THAT TO AGNES AND I AND WE NEVER HEARD THAT AND IT IS SO COOL. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. >> SO IN THIS UPDATE YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING AT FILLING OUT THE CAVES EVEN MORE. >> YES. THERE ARE EVEN MORE THINGS TO SHOW. AND THE THINGS WE SHOWED SO FAR IT’S ABOUT IMPROVING THE JOURNEY

UNDERGROUND BUT WE WANT TO ADD NEW THINGS TO FIND AND ONE OF THEM ARE CRYSTALS. >> THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. >> YES. >> THE MOMENT YOU TURN THE CORNER AND YOU SEE THAT GLOWING THING IT’S INCREDIBLE. >> IT’S LIKE MYSTICAL. YEAH. THEY ARE SO PRETTY AND WE WERE

THINKING A LOT ABOUT WHAT IS THE PURPOSE FOR CRYSTALS IN MINECRAFT AND THEY SHOULD HAVE A USE AND WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT ONE OF THE USAGES SOON BUT ANOTHER THING IS ADDING A LOT TO THE EXPERIENCE OF EXPLORING AND WE WANT THEM TO BE QUITE RARE SO

WHEN YOU FIND THEM IT’S GOING TO BE MAGICAL. BECAUSE IT’S BEAUTIFUL AND WHEN YOU WALK ON THE CRYSTALS YOU HEAR THE SOUNDS. >> WE TALKED ABOUT THE PILLAR OF UNDER GROUND OF MARBLE. THEY ARE JUST THE PERFECT FEATURE. >> BUT YOU CAN’T JUST TAKE THEM WITH YOU. >> RIGHT.

SO YOU CAN BREAK THE PLANTS THAT WE SAW IN THE VIDEO BUT THEY GROW FROM A VERY SPECIAL BLOCK AND THAT BLOCK IS UNOBTAINABLE. IT’S LIKE SPAWNERS. IT MAKES YOU GO AND BUILD FARMS ALL AROUND YOUR WORLD AND THAT ALSO ENCOURAGES YOU TO CREATE TUNNELS BETWEEN THEM AND FIND OUTWEIGHS OF TRANSFERRING THOSE

ITEMS FROM PLACE TO PLACE AND I JUST LOVE THOSE FEATURES THAT ENCOURAGE OTHER GAMEPLAY IN THE GAME. >> AS AN EXPLORER MYSELF I’M VERY EXCITED ABOUT FINDING ALL OF THESE. AND YOU MENTIONED A USEFULNESS TO THEM. >> OH, YEAH. >> SO FROM THOSE CRYSTAL PLANTS YOU GET CRYSTAL SHARDS AND YOU

CAN CRAFT A TELESCOPE. >> THAT IS AMAZING. >> IT IS SUCH A USEFUL ITEM. AND THIS COOL THING IS THAT SO YES YOU USE THE CRYSTAL SHARDS TO CRAFT THEM BUT YOU ALSO NEED SOMETHING MORE AND THAT IS ALSO A NEW THING THAT WE ADDED. >> THAT IS AMAZING.

>> AND YOU SAW THE INDIVIDUAL. AND VERY INTERESTING WITH THE COPPER ORE IS IT GENERATES IN DIFFERENT WAY. COPPER IS DIFFERENT. SO IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE OUT MINING AND YOU SEE COPPER ORE. OKAY I’M GOING TO MINE THE COPPER AND THEN YOU SEE STONE. THEY LOOK DIFFERENT SO YOU

CONTINUE TO MINE AND THEN YOU FIND ANOTHER COPPER ORE. OKAY I THINK I FOUND A COPPER VEIN. SO WE’RE ADDING VEINS. IT ADDS SO MUCH TO MINING. IT’S LIKE FOLLOWING A TRACE AND IT TIES SO WELL TO THE PILLAR THAT WE HAVE ABOUT ADDING STRATEGY TO MINING. >> AND YOU’VE PERSONALLY WANTED

COPPER IN THE GAME SINCE BEFORE YOU STARTED. >> YOU MENTIONED THAT ONCE OR TWICE. >> MAYBE A FEW TIMES. BUT YES. SO I THINK I GOT INSPIRED BY THE PRETTY COPPER ROOFS IN STOCKHOLM AND THEY ARE ALL GREEN BECAUSE WE HAVE SO MANY OLD BUILDINGS HERE AND WE’RE ACTUALLY ADDING

THAT MECHANIC TO MINECRAFT AS WELL. SO IF YOU PLACE A COPPER BLOCK IT WILL BE FIRST ORANGE BUT AFTER A WHILE IT WILL TURN GREEN. AND IT’S SOMETHING THAT IS SO COOL BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY ADDS HISTORY TO MINECRAFT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE AN OLD MINECRAFT WORLD THEN YOU CAN SEE

ON THE HOUSE AND ALL OF THE ROOFS HAVE TURNED GREEN AND THEN YOU KNOW THAT HOUSE HAS BEEN THERE FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. >> AND COPPER WON’T ONLY BE USED FOR THE TELESCOPE, YOU HAVE ANOTHER REALLY COOL THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CRAFT WITH IT. >> YEAH.

SO JENS TALKED A BIT BEFORE ABOUT THE DESIGN PRINCIPLES THAT WE HAVE IN MINECRAFT AND ONE OF THEM IS IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS THE PLAYER EITHER CAUSED IT OR IT HAS A WAY TO AVOID IT. AND ONE OF THOSE EXCEPTIONS FOR EXAMPLE IS LIGHTNING STRIKING. NOW SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO BUILD

WOODEN ROOFS IN MINECRAFT. SOME EVEN BUILD WOOL ROOFS. >> LOOKING AT ME. NOT AT ALL LIKE THE GRANDEST CASTLE — ACTUALLY HAS A ROOF FULLY BUILT OF WOOL. >> SO TO TRY TO HELP THE PLAYERS WITH THAT WE ARE INTRODUCING THE LIGHTNING ROD. [ THUNDER ]

>> THAT IS A VERY USEFUL FOR ALL OF THE WOOL ROOFS OUT THERE. >> YEAH. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED TO A LOT OF OUR PLAYERS. PERSONALLY I HAD THIS PEACEFUL GAME THAT I PLAYED WITH MY PARTNER. WE WERE LOOKING AT ANIMALS AND COLLECTING A FEW ANIMALS TO OUR

BASE AND WE CAME BACK AND OUR HOUSE WAS GONE. AND I WAS QUITE CONFUSED. BECAUSE I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS A BIT ABOUT MINECRAFT AND THERE ARE NO CREEPERS. WE FIGURED THAT A LIGHTNING STRIKE HIT AND BURNED DOWN THE HOUSE AND WE WERE QUITE TRAUMATIZED BECAUSE WE WERE NOT

PREPARED FOR THIS SO I THINK THIS LIGHTNING ROD WILL HELP WITH THAT. >> I’M GOING TO PLACE LIGHTNING RODS EVERYWHERE ON MY WOOL ROOF. IT WILL BE PERFECT. >> NOW YOU’VE INTRODUCED A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY. AND PLAYERS ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THEIR INVENTORY

AND THE AMOUNT OF ITEMS BUT YOU HAVE AN IDEA FOR THAT. >> YES. AS YOU KNOW WE KEEP ADDING NEW BLOCKS AND NEW ITEMS ALL THE TIME AND THAT DOES CREATE AN INVENTORY PROBLEM AND WE’VE BEEN THINKING HOW TO SOLVE IT BECAUSE WE WON’T HAVE GOOD GAMEPLAY

SOLUTIONS AND WE WANT THE TWO TO BE BALANCED AND WE HAVE AN ITEM THAT THAT WILL BE HELPFUL AND IT’S THE BUNDLES. >> BUNDLES. >> THIS IS AWESOME. IT’S SUCH AN ELEGANT SOLUTION AS WELL. WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE INVENTORY PROBLEM AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST TAKE AWAYS IS

THAT THIS IS NOT JUST ONE PROBLEM. IT’S CONSTRUCTED FROM A LOT OF SUB PROBLEMS. A HOT BAR MANAGEMENT IS ONE PROBLEM. GETTING A LOT OF BLOCKS FOR YOUR HUGE BUILD. THAT IS SOMETHING THE SHULKERS HELP WITH. BUT EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE YOUR BASE TO EXPLORE YOUR INVENTORY KEEPS GETTING FULL OF JUNK.

THIS SLOT HAS TWO FLOWERS. THIS ONE HAS ONE SEED AND I THINK THE BUNDLES WILL HELP WITH THAT PROBLEM. >> THE THING WITH BUNDLES IS YOU CAN PLACE MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF ITEMS IN ONE. SO I CAN TAKE TWO FLOWERS AND ONE SEED AND PUT THEM IN ONE BUNDLE. IT’S GREAT.

>> AND YOU CAN USE THEM LIKE PRESENTS TOO. >> I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT SEEING WHAT PLAYERS DO WITH THEM LIKE IN THE SHOPPING DISTRICT. YOU CAN HAVE THE BUNDLE OF THE DAY WHICH HAS A BUNCH. OR A SECRET BUNDLE. >> AND IF YOUR FRIEND HAS A BIRTHDAY YOU CAN FIT YOUR

PRETTIEST ITEM IN THE BUNDLE BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A GIFT WRAP. >> THAT IS SO COOL. HOW DO YOU WORK ON THE ART SIDE? >> WE ACTUALLY HAVE A VERY CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH THE ART TEAM AND IT’S GREAT. >>> SO MY JOB IS BASICALLY TO GET AN ABSTRACT IDEA AND IMAGINE

HOW IT WOULD FIT INTO THE MINECRAFT UNIVERSE AND THEN START SKETCHING IT. ONCE A SKETCH IS FINISHED I SEND EVERYTHING TO THE 3-D ARTIST THAT IS GOING TO MODEL IT AND ANIMATE TO MAKE IT ALIVE. >> MY JOB IS TO BRING SKETCHES TO LIFE AND MAKE THEM MOVE IN 3-D SPACE.

TO WORK WITH A GAME THAT HAS SUCH A SPECIAL LOOK IS AMAZING. IT’S A CHALLENGE. IT’S FUN. IT’S SOMETIMES FRUSTRATING BUT IT’S VERY REWARDING. I LOVE IT. >> I MAKE THE PIXLER OF THE BLOCKS AND USUALLY WHEN I CREATE A BLOCK TEXTURE IT’S GOING TO BE A LOT LIKE.

I’M GOING TO MAKE 50 ITERATIONS OF ONE BLOCK BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE IT RIGHT. EVERY BLOCK IS LIKE A BUILDING BLOCK FOR PEOPLE’S IMAGINATION SO I TRY TO PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN EACH BLOCK TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE CAN CREATE WHAT THEY WANT. >> SO I THINK MY FAVORITE THING

ABOUT THE MINECRAFT LOOK IS THAT IT’S VERY UNEXPECTED, VERY UNCONVENTIONAL AND THAT IS WHERE THE SPECIAL COMES FROM. >> MINECRAFT IN TERMS OF GAME ART IS SPECIAL BECAUSE IT HAS SUCH A UNIQUE LOOK AND VERY RESTRICTED AND IT HAS TO BE 3-D PIXEL ART AND WE CAN ONLY WORK

WITHIN THOSE BOUNDARIES SO WE HAVE TO THINK INSIDE THE BOX BUT ASO OUTSIDE THE BOX. I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS EXCITING NEW MOB. THIS NEW MOB WILL BE THE CUTEST PREDATOR EVER EXISTED IN MINECRAFT. >> THIS UPDATE IS INCREDIBLE. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG AND WE’RE

FINALLY GOING TO DO IT. >> I HOPE THAT THE COMMUNITY IS REALLY, REALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT. I HOPE THEY HAVE A LOT OF NEW STUFF TO PLAY WITH AND I HOPE THEY ARE EXCITED TO SEE SOME CONCEPTS AS WELL. >> IT’S SO LOVELY WHEN YOU CAN THINK ABOUT ALL OF THE DIFFERENT

JOBS WITHIN GAME DEVELOPMENT. I LOVE SEEING THE ARTISTS AND THE DEVELOPERS. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT ROLES. >> AND IT’S AWESOME TO INTERACT WITH THOSE ROLES AND HAVE THE BACK AND FORTH. AND SPECIFICALLY WORKING WITH THE ART TEAM IS AMAZING AS WELL. YOU SORT OF THROW ONE IDEA AND

HE DRAWS SOMETHING AND IT STARTS SO MANY AWESOME IDEAS GOING AND WE INTEGRATED IT INTO OUR PROTOTYPE PROCESS AND I THINK UNTIL I SAW THOSE SKETCHES BY THE ART TEAM I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT ARCHEOLOGY IN MINECRAFT MEANS. >> ARCHEOLOGY? >> YES. WE’RE ADDING A NEW SYSTEM CALLED THE ARCHEOLOGY SYSTEM.

IN THIS SYSTEM YOUR BASICALLY GOING TO FIND THESE EXCAVATION SITES THROUGHOUT YOUR WORLD. YOU CAN MAKE THIS NEW TOOL CALLED THE BRUSH THAT IS GOING TO HELP YOU UNCOVER THE MYSTERIES OF ALL OF THESE DIG SITES. SO YOU COME TO ONE OF THESE ANCIENT STRUCTURES AND YOU CAN

SORT OF USE THE BRUSH TO CLEAR AWAY SOME OF THE RUBBLE THAT MAY HAVE COLLAPSED IN THE STRUCTURES AND SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT EVEN FIND SOMETHING SHINY INSIDE THEM. BUT AND THIS IS IMPORTANT FUR — IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL LIKE IN REAL LIFE YOU CAN DESTROY THE ARTIFACT AND WHEN THAT ARTIFACT

IS GONE — THAT ARTIFACT AND THE SECRETS IT HELD ARE GONE FOREVER BUT IF YOU TAKE YOUR TIME YOU CAN GET SOME OF THE HIDDEN ARTIFACTS AND WE GOT A CERAMIC SHARD WHICH IS HOW WHOEVER LIVED HERE USED TO TELL AND PASS ON THEIR STORIES. >> I LOVE THE STORY SIDE OF THE

ARCHEOLOGY. BECAUSE WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT WE WANT TO DEEPEN THE MYSTERY IN MINECRAFT AND WHEN YOU FIND THE HIDDEN ARTIFACTS YOU CAN FIND CONNECTIONS AND HINTS AND WE WILL NEVER TELL THE FULL STORY. THESE WILL INSPIRE THE PLAYERS TO TELL THEIR OWN STORIES ABOUT THEIR OWN MINECRAFT WORLDS. >> EXACTLY.

I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITING TO SEE WHAT PLAYERS DO WITH THEM. FOR EXAMPLE, HERE WE SEE AN EXCAVATION THAT SOMEONE BUILT WHERE HE CAN COMPARE THE DIFFERENT CLUES AND TRY TO PRESERVE WHATEVER WAS DONE HERE AND HE CAN COMPARE WHAT WE FOUND WITH WHATEVER NEW THING AND TRY

TO CONNECT THE PIECES AND HERE WE SEE THOSE PIECES CONNECTED IN A CLAY POT. TRYING TO RECONSTRUCT THEM BACK AND YOU CAN CREATE THEM HOWEVER YOU LIKE. YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN STORIES OR TRY TO GUESS HOW THOSE PIECES USED TO CONNECT. >> TO BE VERY CREATIVE WITH THE

POTS BECAUSE YOU CAN PUT THE SHARDS IN ANY WAY YOU WANT. >> AND WHEN YOU’RE PLEASED WITH YOUR CREATION YOU CAN FIRE THEM UP AND YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PAINTED CLAY POT. >> PRETTY. SO THE ART THAT WE’RE SEEING IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS. BUT I PERSONALLY LIKE THE DRAGON.

>> I DIDN’T SAY IT WASN’T PRETTY. >> THE ARTIST ARE WAY TOO GOOD. THEY JUST MAKE US LOOK BAD. >> ARCHEOLOGY IS AMAZING. THE EXCAVATION SITE IS SO INCREDIBLE. >> I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS. I’VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH IT AND I GOT TO DO A LOT OF AWESOME

CONVERSATIONS WITH ACTUAL ARCHEOLOGIST AROUND THE WORLD AND I FEEL LIKE I GOT SO PASSIONATE ABOUT IT MYSELF THAT THEIR PASSION STUCK TO ME AND IT WAS SO AMAZING TO LEARN MORE AND I’M EXCITED TO SEE WHERE IT GOES FROM HERE. >> AND YOU HAVE A DEV DIARY COMING OUT WHERE YOU EXPLORE THE

ARCHEOLOGY EVEN MORE. >> IT’S HONESTLY REALLY EXCITING. I HAD SO MUCH FUN AND I LEARNED SO MUCH THAT I DECIDED THAT IT CANNOT STOP WITH ME. SO WE’RE GOING TO DO A DEVELOP DIDIRE — DEV DIARY. AND VISIT SOME OF THE LOCATIONS. >> AMAZING. IT FEELS VERY SAD BUT WE’RE

ALMOST OUT OF TIME. BUT WE’VE BEEN HINTING AT A NEW MOB LIKE OVER THE COURSE OF THE SHOW. THREE OR FOUR TIMES. SO ARE YOU GOING TO TELL US ABOUT IT NOW. >> YES. WE’RE NOW GOING TO TELL YOU. THE CUTEST PREDATOR YOU WILL EVER MEET.

>> I FEEL LIKE THERE IS ONLY ONE SOUND I CAN MAKE AFTER SEEING THAT WHICH IS LIKE EEEEEWWW! ADORABLE. THE AXOLOTLS. >> HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON AXOLOTLS? >> WE WANTED IT TO HAVE ITS OWN UNIQUE CHARACTER AND PURPOSE AND IF IT HAPPENS TO BE UGLY CUTE. AND THE AXOLOTL IS PERFECT.

I GUESS ON THE UGLY CUTENESS IT MIGHT BE A BIG EMPHASIS ON THE CUTE SIDE BUT STILL. AND WE HAD A BRAINSTORM WITH THE TEAM. WE’RE GOING TO ADD GOATS BUT WE WANT TO ADD ANOTHER ANIMAL AND THEN ONE OF THE DEVELOPERS POSTED A BIG PICTURE OF THING LOT.

AND WE WERE LIKE YES. IT’S THE DEFINITION OF UGLY CUTE. MADE FOR MINECRAFT. WE FOUND OUT THE AXOLOTLS ARE ENDANGERED AND IT’S GOOD TO ADD ENDANGERED ANIMALS TO MINECRAFT TO CREATE AWARENESS AROUND THAT. >> LIKE WITH THE BEES. >> YES. THEY ARE SO INDIVIDUAL. THEY LIVE IN THE LUSH CAVES AND

THEY ADD A LOT OF LIFE TO THE LUSH CAVES AND THERE IS A BUCKET OF AXOLOTLS. >> I DIDN’T THINK IT COULD GET CUTER. >> IT’S SO CUTE. SO WHEN YOU ARE WORKING AROUND IN THE LUSH CAVES AND YOU SEE SOME AXOLOTLS YOU CAN SCOOP THEM UP IN THE BUCKET AND TAKE THEM

WITH YOU SO MAYBE YOU COULD CREATE AN A AQUARIUM OR MAYBE BRING THEM TO YOUR OCEAN ADVENTURE. >> AND NOW I SEE WHY YOU’RE CALLING THE CUTEST PREDATOR YOU’LL EVER MEET. >> EXACTLY. WHEN YOU SCOOP THEM UP IN THE BUCKET YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN AXE LOT ARMY AND THEY WILL HELPU

FIGHT THE DRONES AND THE GUARDIANSES AND AND THEY ARE QUITE USEFUL WHEN FIGHTING GUARDIANS BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS SPECIAL ABILITY. THEY SORT OF PLAY DEAD AND WHEN THEY ARE PLAYING DEAD NO MOB WILL ATTACK THEM SO THEY CAN JUMP BACK IN THE FIGHT AND IF YOU LEARN HOW TO COOPERATE WITH

THEM THEY MIGHT E — EVEN HEAL YOU. >> YOU ADDED THESE TWO OF MOBS THAT WERE AS DIFFERENT AS POSSIBLE. THE WARDEN AND THE AXOLOTL. >> IT CREATES A DRAMATIC PLAY EXPERIENCE WHICH IS SO GOOD. SO WE ARE LIKE UPDATING THE HIGHEST HIGHS OF MINECRAFT WITH THE MOUNTAINS. UPDATING THE DEEPEST OF CAVES

WITH THE TERRIFYING WARDEN AND THE CUTEST AXOLOTL AND ALSO IN THE CAVES, THE LUSH CAVES ARE LIGHT AND WELCOMING AND THEN THE DEEP DARK THAT IS SCARY AND CHALLENGING. >> AND WE CANNOT FORGET OUR GOAT. IT’S IN BETWEEN. >> IT’S STILL VERY CUTE. BUT IN BETWEEN.

NO ONE CAN BE AS CUTE AS THE AXOLOTL. >> BEFORE WE TELL EVERYONE THE WINNER OF THE MOB VOTE LET’S TAKE A LOOK BACK AT SOME OF THE EXCITING THINGS WE’VE TALKED ABOUT TODAY. >> BEFORE WE GET TO OUR MOB VOTE THERE IS ONE MORE QUESTION PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THE CAVES AND THE CLIFFS UPDATE? >> THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. SO WE PLAN TO RELEASE IT SOMEWHERE IN 2021 AND THIS IS REALLY GOOD. AS I MENTIONED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SHOW WE WANT TO HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO WORK TOGETHER

WITH THE COMMUNITY TO HEAR THE FEEDBACK. BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY ALWAYS HAS GOOD IDEAS SO IT FEELS GOOD WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME TO WORK TOGETHER ON THE UPDATE. >> AND THE COMMUNITY DECIDED ON A NEW MOB THAT WILL ENTER THE GAME. SO WHICH ONE OF YOU GETS TO DO THE HONORS TODAY?

>> I THINK TINY AGNES HAS BEEN A BIT MEAN THIS YEAR SO I THINK YOU SHOULD ANNOUNCE THE WINNER. YES. >> CAN I LOOK FIRST? >> YOU’RE GOING TO KNOW BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE. >> IT’S THE GLOW SQUID! >> WOW! I GUESS EVERYONE WAS MESMERIZED BY THE GLOW SQUID. NOT JUST THE TINY ONES.

>> REALLY NOT EXPECTING THAT. THAT IS SO AWESOME. >> I DIDN’T EXPECT IT AT ALL BUT IT’S GREAT. GLOW SQUIDS WILL LOOK SO COOL IN THE CAVES. THE AQUIFER. >> AND ALL DARK IN THE CAVES AND THEN YOU SEE THE GLOW SQUIDS SWIMMING AROUND. >> CAN THEY BEFRIENDS WITH THE AXOLOTLS?

>> THEY ARE PREDATORS SO I’M NOT SURE. >> THE AXOLOTLS MIGHT ACTUALLY ATTACK THEM. >> I’LL TALK TO THEM. WE’LL THINK ABOUT IT. >> WE HAVE COMMITTED TO A LOT OF THINGS SO I THINK WE NEED TO GET TO WORK ON ALL OF THE THINGS WE’VE SHOWN IN THE SHOW.

FOR ALL OF YOU WATCHING MINECRAFT WOULD NOT BE WHAT IT IS TODAY WITHOUT ALL OF YOU. FROM ALL OF US AT MOJANG STUDIOS THANK YOU SO MUCH. BYE.
