as soon as it is released, could we get it up on the homepage? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.30.253.244 (Talk) 00:24, 12 January 2012‎ (UTC). Please sign your posts with

I'd like to note that there was another "unofficial" ingame Minecon in 2010. It was mentioned on the forums before curse took over and now I can't find any information. I have managed to salvage one image though. http://i.imgur.com/f6ydC.png That's me on the right of Notch. Roadcrosser 10:18, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I found a Video recorded during Minecon 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIyOXMo0sFQ
 * But Nothing else yet. Will keep looking.

In-game section
There's been a fair amount of edit warring over this section, with references to various events and people alternately added and removed. Given that none of these events were official or endorsed by Mojang, should they even be in the article at all? -- Orthotope talk 03:57, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I was fine with the one activity that Marc Watson supposedly attended, but it was still unfair to the "competitors" if we allowed that one listed but not the others. I do agree that this sort of thing would fall under our policy of not documenting the community, but I sort of stayed out of it.  05:25, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I think if mojang mentions it or a mojang member logs on to one it should be, other wise it should not be. Like "Minecon 2010" Notch logged on so it is mentioned.--007a83 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 07:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

MINECON 2013
I am wondering how big ofmy chances of getting two minecon tickets will be? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Hawkeyeluna (talk • contribs)&#32; 21:42, 4 July 2013 (UTC). Please sign your posts with


 * Since this year's Minecon will be hosting 7,000 people, your chances are a wee-bit higher... (Plus, you forgot to sign with ~ !) Pikachu4170 23:14, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Minecon 2013 website currently in construction + References needed
I checked that the Minecon 2013 will be on the same website (minecon.mojang.com), and is currently in construction.

Also, the site has a secure signature of GeoTrust Extended Validation SSL CA, which will expire on August 1st, 2014.

In the meantime, the 2013 section of the page requires more references (Source links).

UPDATE!: Read next topic.

Minecon 2k13 youtube vids private!?
Any idea why the embedded youtube vids of minecon are private?

More specifically, is anyone able to fix that? --GufNZ (c: (talk) 03:21, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


 * They where made private after the event. There are Twitch links. We should embed the twitch streams. But I don't think you can.-- 007a83 Talk 05:01, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

All years to have own pages
This page is massive, and nearly impossible to load. MineCon 2016 has 47 sub-sections! I think we should have a separate MineCon 2010, MineCon 2011, etc. Thoughts? — Nixinova (talk|edits)


 * The reason it takes so long to load (and for the excessive number of subsections) is because of the dozens of embedded YouTube videos. Mojang have created playlists for the 2013 and 2015 MineCon videos, which are linked from here in lieu of embedding the videos directly, and it would be ideal if someone could ask them to create playlists for the other years as well (though in the meantime, we should look at alternate ways of presenting the videos - at the very least, they should be presented in a gallery layout instead of each video having its own section). Regardless of that, though, I would support the page beng split by year as well. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:50, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Whew, that took a while. I have split them up into their own years:
 * MineCon 2010
 * MineCon 2011
 * MineCon 2012
 * MineCon 2013
 * MineCon 2015
 * MineCon 2016

Capitalization to MINECON
I propose changing the name from "MineCon" to "MINECON" as Mojang themselves has started using the capitalized version of the name since 2012. This also matches up to the logo. The old format is long not used by many.-- skylord_wars (talk) 02:04, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea for me. 194.251.16.61 05:00, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
