Everything You Need to Know About Minecraft Live 2023

Minecraft is quite possibly the biggest and most popular game ever and every year the people behind the magic come out and tell us what’s coming this year. For this year’s Minecraft Live, they started with a recap of last year done by some of Minecraft’s biggest content creators and then went on to start their famous mob votes, and announcements for their other games like Minecraft Dungeons, and Legends.

If you missed Minecraft Live you can watch all of it in the video below or if you would prefer to skip to the bits you are more interested in you can go see their YouTube channel for all the best clips you can go here.

Mob Vote Winner

The thing most of you are probably the most interested in is the winner of the mob votes which is an….. armadillo! which can be found in the savannah biome in the world and it drops scute that can be made into armour so you can protect your pet wolf.

More news on the mob votes is that Mojang Employee Vu hinted that these mob vote losers could still find their way into the game in the future. This might be because of the Boycots on Minecraft as players have been becoming increasingly annoyed with the fact that some moves are just not coming into the game.

Key Features Announced

• Minecraft Live usually has a few secrets up its sleeves, and this year was no exception! Game director Agnes Larsson and a few Minecraft developers unveiled some of the key features heading to Minecraft as part of next year’s update. And wow did they have an adventure uncovering them! While next year’s update doesn’t have a name yet, I’m going to call it “1.21” for now, even though it’ll be coming midway through 2024. Yay, numbers!
• Agnes and level designer Matthew “Moesh” Dryden stepped into one of the new structures being developed: the trial chamber! The trial chamber is a sprawling structure of corridors and rooms that are packed with traps, trial spawners, mobs, loot, and more. The trial chamber is procedurally generated, which means you’ll face a new challenge each time you enter! And thanks to the trial spawner, a cunning device which spews out mobs, the challenge level will adjust based on the number of adventurers in your party.
• Agnes, game designer Cory Scheviak, and game developer Magnus Puig De La Bellacasa also met a playful (but dangerous) new mob! The breeze is a hostile mob that likes to leap dizzying circles around its opponent, and attack using the power of wind. Agnes and game artist Sarah Boeving also showed us some of the new decorative tuff and copper blocks, as well as copper bulbs, which can be toggled on and off using redstone pulses. We also saw crafters, which use redstone for automated crafting! Because can you ever have too many hanging signs?
