Continuing, “As usual, we will have a weekend event and as usual, we will be live streaming the entire time, so even if you can’t come in person, you can still enjoy the Minecrafty goodness from the lovely comfort of home.”
As for ticket pricing and sale dates, we will just have to wait and see, but hopefully both will be coming soon.
The first MineCon was held in 2010, a year before Minecraft 1.0 was even released. The location changes every year, past convention cities including the likes of Las Vegas, Disneyland Paris, and London.
In recent Minecraft news, update 1.9, the combat update, just launched. It overhauled much of the game’s combat systems and even added the ability to dual-wield items.
