If there’s one date all international Minecraft aficionados need to jostle into their schedule, it’s October 15. You may want to cancel all your other plans as Minecraft Live is back to inundate you with a wealth of exciting new loop-ins about the game. An almost annual tradition since the dawn of Minecraft's popularity in 2010, the event initially known as Minecon, has always managed to fuel the enthusiasm of fans.

Every passionate Minecraft gamer out there will have their eyes glued to Minecraft Live, catering unrevealed insights into what the Mojang squad holds for the game's future. It is also a grand stage for the players to have their say in adding a novel mob to the game via an upcoming mob vote. So, if you are a Minecraft enthusiast and looking forward to what awaits in the game's future, make a note of the D-day: October 15.

In 2023, Minecraft Live unrolls on October 15, Sunday, at 1 pm EDT. Those gripped by the thought of influencing the game's narrative with this year's mob vote will have a window of approximately two days, initiating at 1 pm EDT, October 13, Friday, and concluding at 1:15 pm EDT on the big day. Voting shall be facilitated within Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, the official game launcher, and the website. Three mysterious mobs are lined up for the vote, details of which will be disclosed precisely when the voting commences. The crown for the winning mob will be disclosed by the event's end, ensuring an edge-of-the-seat experience for the fans.

So, are you pumped about Minecraft Live merely for the mob vote? Well, you might want to rethink. This year, Mojang is set to unmask an array of thrilling revelations about the future expansions of the Minecraft franchise, with the base Minecraft game and the Minecraft Legends spin-off leading the slate. Clocking around an hour, fans are encouraged to foresee a flurry of blockbuster revelations pertaining to their beloved Minecraft games.

However, Minecraft Dungeons, the action RPG variant launched in 2020, will probably take a backseat this year. Despite having numerous updates post-launch, Mojang has hung up the gloves on creating anything new for this game. Nevertheless, as the big day knots up, Minecraft fans might want to open their minds and hearts to a flood of surprises, potentially including an appearance from Minecraft Dungeons, albeit not capturing the spotlight. Brace yourselves for a roller-coaster ride through the Minecraft universe this October 15.
