Minecraft Live 2023: Date, time, mob vote & how to watch

Minecraft Live is almost upon us, with new exciting announcements coming to the popular game. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2023 Minecraft Live.

Mojang deployed Minecraft Update 1.20 in June 2023, unleashing new mobs on the game world alongside an archaeology system, armor trims for customization, and the Cherry Blossoms biome.

Now, players patiently await details about what’s coming in Update 1.21. The hope is that such information will surface during this year’s live event, given that 1.20 took center stage for a time during Minecraft Live 2022.

Fortunately, the event is just around the corner. Here’s everything we know about the latest Minecraft Live thus far.

When is Minecraft Live 2023?

Mojang has confirmed that Minecraft Live will be on Sunday, October 15, with a “bigger and blockier” event in store.

Fans can tune in live via Minecraft’s official YouTube channel or catch the show through Minecraft.net. The festivities will begin at 1:00 PM EDT / 6:00 PM BST. If your timezone isn’t here, then Mojang also released a global start time.

How to watch Minecraft Live

As announced by Mojang on X, you’ll be able to watch Minecraft Live on the Mojang YouTube channel or on the game’s website.

You’ll be able to watch the Livestream on your mobile, PC, or console. All you need to do is click on the links above.

When does mob voting open and close in Minecraft Live?

Not unlike Minecraft Live 2022, this year’s mob vote will allow the community to choose the new mob that developers will create for the next major update.

The sniffer won the vote last year; for 2023, players can expect to choose from a pool of three different mob ideas.

Fortunately, the voting period will last longer this time around, beginning on Friday, October 13 at 1:00 PM EDT, and closing at 1:15 PM EDT on Sunday, October 15. That gives fans 48 hours and 15 minutes to determine what they want.

How to participate in the mob vote

Players will once more be able to cast their votes in Minecraft itself. Signing on for the live event server in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition represents just one avenue. Voting via Minecraft.net or the Minecraft Launcher are alternative options.

There are three mobs to vote for, the Penguin, Crab, and Armadillo. For more information on these mobs and what they may bring to Minecraft, take a look at our handy guide.
