[2020] Tweets by Minecraft on 03 Oct

This is your 30-minute warning! #MinecraftLive, an epic livestream, is just 30 minutes away! While we’re madly running around making last-minute preparations, make sure you know exactly how you’ll be watching: ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjabUqnWAAImtrC.jpg

Our Community Pre-Show has begun! Due to the restrictions and challenges 2020 has placed on all of us, this year’s pre-show is pre-recorded but our creators – and hopefully you – are no less excited about #MinecraftLive! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaIc2FWsAEXHmp.jpg

We could hardly talk about the last year of Minecraft without mentioning the Nether update, and we're so happy that more players than ever are taking trips there! How was your not-so-relaxing visit to our favourite fungi-filled dimension? ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312386666573844481/pu/img/6-QbFCA2EyNbPl9z.jpg

Faced with no graduation this year, a group of students from the University of California, Berkeley built a replica of their campus to host a virtual graduation. As the event grew in scale, it was attended by the school’s chancellor and Minecraft’s very own Lydia! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaI0qeX0AEfADa.jpg

Do you agree with Krew? It’s time for you to speculate wildly! Moobloom, Iceologer or Glow Squid? Which mob are you voting for? ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312387028076695552/pu/img/xDeqz2GjtrtP_yES.jpg

Auto-playing jukeboxes for vanilla, customisable skins for Dungeons – these are just a couple of suggestions from the Community Pre-Show. What would you put on your Minecraft wishlist? ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312387242497896449/pu/img/_S7p3V4l2NcfxI5x.jpg

Roll the Year in Review montage! What’s been your highlight from the last 12 months of Minecraft? ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312387357480562688/pu/img/-pY_804n8lhir3En.jpg

Get the (virtual) fireworks ready #MinecraftLive is just moments away. This is your very last chance to check how you’re watching our epic livestream! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaJd1bWAAA77xs.jpg

3, 2, 1… #MinecraftLive is LIVE! Are you watching? We’re going to be busy tweeting throughout the whole show and want to hear your comments about everything as it happens! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaJmqOXgAIvuk9.jpg

We’re infinitely excited to announce the Caves & Cliffs Update: the update that rocked the world! Join us now – if you haven’t already – and keeping watching the rest of the show for part two of the Caves & Cliffs announcement! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312387754588807168/pu/img/6bZlDNzZIUh_Cgde.jpg

Underground biomes aren’t all terrifying lava lakes and skeleton-infested mines; instead – if you follow the roots – you’ll find the lush caves are a stunning oasis of calm and tranquillity. ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312387879025475587/pu/img/zb-U9vJ-96FZSzhB.jpg

Tumble absent-mindedly down a hole, sail your trusty vessel into the deep, watery unknown or carefully descend that ancient ravine: whatever your underground exploration method – get ready for improved cave generation! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312425436610211840/pu/img/GdMXQJZTl3fOFfPO.jpg

Formed over thousands of years deep underground – but brought to you in one update – the stalagmites and stalactites of the dripstone cave biome are as beautiful as they are spikey. Did we mention spikey? Ouch – sorry zombie! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312388459848445956/pu/img/LAmHw2yo_FN2xB5h.jpg

Stop! Don’t move! The sculk sensor block is activated by movement and vibrations – emitting a redstone signal when charged. Found underground, its uses can include automatic lights, wireless firework detonators and attracting unwanted attention… ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312389275321761792/pu/img/7o2eejk9exOjDvZE.jpg

Down in the deep dark, every flailed limb, every opened chest or every thrown snowball can be sensed by this terrifying new mob: the Warden! You can try running away… Oh, but they’ll sense that movement too! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312389487033561090/pu/img/EU1fCKLK8bkDG-7d.jpg

Speaking of mountains and books by Max Brooks, that brings us to mobs that live on mountains and like to eat books (we suspect). As promised, we’ve added goats – the hugely-anticipated mob from last year’s biome vote. Jumping goats! Ramming goats! Baby goats! So many goats! http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312389908284297218/pu/img/pIJ0n2-z-7ZXiuPj.jpg

A serene bovine, an extra-frosty illager or a dazzlingly-radiant squid: the choice is yours! You’re already in the right place for our Mob Vote – it’s happening right here on Twitter – and starts in just a few minutes time! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312390019030683655/pu/img/jvZLqGNv4l4O9wQC.jpg

Don’t forget to check out next week’s update to @minecraftearth, which includes pistons and sticky pistons! Ever wondered what happens when creators play Minecraft Earth in the countryside? Spoiler alert: it includes llamas, badminton and poorly-constructed sand blocks! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaMCndWAAM90_g.jpg

The Mob Vote is open! You have 20 minutes to pick your favourite: Moobloom, Iceologer or Glow Squid! Vote now!

We couldn’t be more overwhelmed by how much you, our community, have loved Dungeons since the launch in May this year! It’s been a true honour watching our heroes explore, battle – and eventually – be victorious in the world of Minecraft Dungeons! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312391547036594182/pu/img/4SxsxeTl_fwkXXKr.jpg

Unite. Fight. Survive… Together! Cross-play is coming to @dungeonsgame in November, next month! Gather all your heroic friends and prepare to play together on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows and Xbox One! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaNpvuWkAMbfMs.jpg

Hello there hero, adventure calls once again! Dangerous mobs, new gear, and the power of the wind itself, all await you atop perilous peaks! Howling Peaks DLC arrives in December – it's nearly time to trek to the top! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312392296722300929/pu/img/kVLc0565b900vg7y.jpg

Hostile jungles and forever-winter lands have been just a taste of what's to come! Here's a sneak-peek of some of the amazing content we're bringing to Dungeons next year – don't worry if it doesn't look sparkly and perfect just yet, we've still got work to do. http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312392588390027265/pu/img/tDC9Fb5KWup3sp3v.jpg

Calling all young creators! Minecraft: Education Edition is holding its first international competition, asking you to design and build a space to support a healthy environment – for humans and animals! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312393608272719872/pu/img/37Nrx8yyP50nO7Ul.jpg

With an ever-expanding universe and Mojang family, game design can become tricky! Thankfully, Jens is here to help! He's written a book to assist game development, meaning we can constantly improve Minecraft but ensure it remains true to the game you fell in love with. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaPKv-WAAASLnO.jpg

ALERT! Cookie theft in progress! #cookiejarjens ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaPUs1WsAc5B_p.jpg

Minecraft comes to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: the announcement that broke Twitter (it’s true, look it up!). Are you ready to fight on October 13th? ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaPbeFWoAAt0NQ.jpg

In 2016, Mojang teamed up with the UN, local leaders and – most importantly – young people with a passion to improve their community. Now we’re back in Kosovo to see how Minecraft has helped redesign and transform a rundown urban space! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaPh81WkAElmq7.jpg

Whoever said the Nether was simply a lava-filled, hostile-mob inhabited, fungal-forested dimension? OK, OK, that’s all true, but it’s not without a touch of culture! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312394269286715392/pu/img/F3M5Ub6PeKlwi28l.jpg

Moobloom is out! We’re so sorry bees, no new friend for you. It’s now a two-mob race between Iceologer and Glow Squid – and the final round of voting is open… Now!

Our ever-growing family of creators come from every corner of the world but they share two passions: Minecraft and bringing you amazing content on @MinecraftMarket! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/EjaP11YXcAQCsXZ.jpg

Meet Tommo: quite literally the fruits of your labour! Unfortunately, this tomato monster has no intention of being served with a salad – as evidenced by their hostile nature… ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312394631288586242/pu/img/RP_p6ojAQlebpQc3.jpg

Minecraft Marketplace allows our community to create rich narrative-driven content. With the new tools we’re making available – like block models – story-telling can become even deeper and more immersive! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312394744652345344/pu/img/f3VLeKEmZSQLPoMp.jpg

You like parkour, right? Par-course you do! That’s why our dedicated creators are finding new ways to keep you on your toes, or off your toes – because of the jumping, get it? ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312394876106035200/pu/img/JweTqB-ztNpx65bv.jpg

Aw shucks, we politely asked and you so patiently waited for part two of our Caves & Cliffs announcement – thanks! It’s been worth the wait, we promise! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312395208387170307/pu/img/RSgD1Z4E8U7PnoaX.jpg

Release your inner geologist and harvest crystal shards. These crystals aren’t only pretty, they’re also the key to a new crafting recipe, but first and foremost they’re pretty – so very pretty! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312395331536121858/pu/img/X8-sD6CTNVPDkW9Y.jpg

Get lost gold, shove off silver – there's a new precious (well, semi-precious but still sooo shiny!) metal in the Overworld! It's the time for the age of copper! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312395439895969793/pu/img/E5iTyxaFhYSKrkfz.jpg

What’s this Steve? Bundles? What a nifty way to – well – bundle things together and carry several different items in one inventory slot. Of course, stack limits still apply! You can also leave your friends a bundle as a gift. Aren’t you nice?! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312395648545718273/pu/img/yShmwXrbXEM8hhov.jpg

Brush in hand and on a quest for lost knowledge: we bring you archaeology! What will you unearth from the past? Secrets, revelations, or maybe just a great pumpkin pie recipe? ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312395835183898624/pu/img/UUWJNl7GAqmLxmIn.jpg

The axolotl might easily be one of the cutest mobs we've ever added to Minecraft – don't even start us gushing about how adorable they look in a bucket! But looks can be deceiving, and this cutey is also a tough little predator... ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312395935369003010/pu/img/_h1SruOnVVdi1QHR.jpg

And the winner is… Glow Squid! Goodbye productivity. Goodbye attention span. Hello, mesmerising Glow Squid… So glowy! ↣ http://redsto.ne/live ↢ http://pbs.twimg.com/ext_tw_video_thumb/1312441930131943424/pu/img/4aRhaSmF7XZzuhBC.jpg
