Minecraft annual events

MinecraftCon is a Minecraft Convention held by Mojang AB, usually every year.

2010
Minecraftcon 2010 was a spontaneous gathering of Minecraft fans on August 31st 2010 in Bellevue, Washington. It was conceived by Notch after expressing in a blog post several requests for a meet-up by players and had called on the community to organize one with no specific choice of venue. While Notch had labeled it "Minecraftcon 2010", it is a bit of a misnomer as it implies a formal convention not unlike that of a typical gaming convention or anime convention.



More than fifty people had turned up at the gathering, including one in a full body creeper costume, of which Notch took a cautious interest in.

2011
Notch is thinking about holding MinecraftCon 2011 in Las Vegas, NV, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
