#dantdm #Minecraft Minecon began as a humble fan-organized gathering called MinecraftCon in 2010 before transforming into an official, massively popular annual convention hosted by Mojang Studios where thousands of Minecraft enthusiasts traveled from all over the world to celebrate the iconic sandbox game. Held in major global cities including Las Vegas, Paris, Orlando, London, and Anaheim between 2011 and 2016, these highly anticipated in-person events served as a vital community hub where players could attend developer panels, participate in massive costume contests, buy exclusive merchandise, and receive highly coveted, rare in-game account capes. Due to the immense logistical challenges of hosting a physical event that could only accommodate a fraction of the rapidly growing global fanbase, Mojang permanently transitioned the convention into a free, accessible digital broadcast framework starting with Minecon Earth in 2017. This virtual evolution eventually became known as Minecraft Live, completely replacing the physical convention with highly polished online livestreams that now unite millions of concurrent viewers worldwide for major game update reveals, interactive developer Q&As, and community-driven mob votes that directly shape the future of the game. - @turuso1212
