Minecraft Live 2020 was a live event held on October 3, 2020, from 16:00 UTC. Originally, it was planned that Minecraft Festival, a real-world event similar to the original MINECON events, would occur; however, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Minecraft Festival was pushed back to 2022. The live event streamed on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and Minecraft.net.

Events

Community Pre-Show

There was a 20-minute Community Pre-Show right before the main event which consisted of youtubers expressing their opinions about the event.

Update announcement

Like MINECON Live 2019, there was an announcement relating to the next major update, similarly to how the Nether Update was announced at MINECON Live 2019, likewise with other major updates in the years before. Unlike the last years though, the announcement was held at the beginning of the show. The update that was announced was Caves & Cliffs.

Mob Vote

For the MINECON Earth 2017 Mob Vote, see MINECON Earth 2017 § Mob Vote.

Mobs from Minecraft Dungeons and Minecraft Earth were voted on to be added to Minecraft. For the second time, watchers were able to vote for a new mob to be added into the game in a future update. The first time this happened was in MINECON Earth 2017.

Each mob received its own video justifying its inclusion.

The mobs that were on the vote were the Moobloom, Iceologer and the Glow Squid.

• Mooblooms would spawn in Flower Forests and would interact with bees in some way.Buttercups would also be added.
• Iceologers would spawn in Mountains and hurl ice clouds at the player.
• Glow Squids would spawn in the Ocean in dark areas, illuminating them. Their texture would glow like an Enderman's eyes, but not actually emit light.

Failing mobs are less likely to be added to the game in the future, but they still do have a chance to be implemented in the future.

Results

Voting took place in two rounds. The losing mob, the Moobloom, was eliminated from consideration in the second round. The winner of the the second round was the Glow Squid.

Mob	Votes (%)
	First Round	Final
Moobloom	28%	–
Iceologer	35%	47%
Glow Squid	37%	53%
Total Votes	836,759	741,145

MCE and MCD events

In the pre-show, there was a list of events and MCD and MCE were both included meaning they are going to do some kind of annoucement of some kind.

Developer panel

Like the previous years, there will be a panel with Mojang Studios developers revealing some "inside scoop". Jeb will be featured.
