The all-star Minecraft Championship event on September 5 features top creators in competitive minigames and will officially name Mojang's third 2026 content drop expected to add the Dappled Forest biome and new building blocks.
If you are tired of waiting for Mojang to drop the name of the next big content update, mark your calendar for September 5. The MC Championship Fall Stars event will reveal it live during a special stream packed with competitive Minecraft at its best.
What to Expect From MCC Fall Stars
The event brings together 40 top creators and past winners across ten teams including Red Rabbits, Pink Parrots, and Cyan Coyotes. They will compete in fan favorite games like Sands of Time, Ace Race, Battle Box, and TGTTOS. The main stream kicks off at 8 PM BST on Twitch with pre-show coverage leading in.
Hosting duties fall to popular streamers jojosolos and Couriway. The broadcast will air on the official Minecraft Twitch channel giving it maximum visibility across the community.
The Next Drop So Far
Mojang has already shown off several features expected in the unnamed third drop of 2026. The Dappled Forest biome brings vibrant fall colors, new poplar trees, abandoned camp structures, and the cushion block for sitting. Concrete and wool stairs plus slabs are finally coming along with other building tweaks.
During this special event, we will reveal the NEXT @minecraft UPDATE NAME!
The reveal timing lines up with community expectations after the Chaos Cubed drop earlier this year. An estimated full release window sits around late September though Mojang has not locked that in yet.
