Minecraft Live 2023: Everything You Need to Know
Minecraft Live has concluded and with its end, we have multiple announcements that are sure to dazzle the fans of the game. We have new Star Wars DLC coming out in addition to new features for Minecraft Legends. The game has been on the sidelines for quite a while but Mojang plans to revive it with new features.
In addition, we have also crowned the winner of the Mob Vote which is the Armadillo. We will discuss that in a later section. There is also going to be a celebration on the occasion of Minecraft’s 15-year anniversary and fans cannot wait for that. Let us discuss every little bit we know so far.
Star Wars DLC Announcement
First of all, we have the Star Wars: Path of the Jedi DLC announcement to break down. The DLC takes place during the Clone Wars and will give you ample opportunity to train with the likes of Mace Windu and Yoda. Mojang claims that it will take players from a Young Padawan to a Jedi with multiple missions to complete in biomes far, far away.
With this DLC, one will be able to battle different monsters throughout the galaxy, explore various uncharted territories, and meet the dark side. Players will also get their own customizable lightsaber and droid once the DLC releases. The exact details of all the missions and features are yet unknown but Mojang is set to reveal them soon.
The DLC drops on November 7th in the Marketplace where people can buy and experience Star Wars in Minecraft.
Planet Earth III DLC Announcement
After the Star Wars DLC, we have another DLC announcement to break down. This time, it’s the Planet Earth DLC. Minecraft Education and BBC partner again to bring us more interesting creatures to learn about in blocky form!
With this DLC players will be able to “play through some of the planet’s most extreme biomes, meet some of the show’s main characters, and delve deeper into the stories of Planet Earth.” The exact date of the release of this DLC and its contents is unknown but it will come out in 2024. That is all there is to know about this particular announcement.
Minecraft Legends Updates
Minecraft Legends will have tons of new content that is sure to breathe new life into the game. The first major update for this game was released in August which featured custom campaigns, PvP changes, enhanced Banner Views, world waypoints, and the ability to pet animals. Lost Legends, which are the free missions Mojang releases every month have also been received well by the community.
Principal design director Craig Leigh revealed that they have more in store for the players of Minecraft Legends. The second major update is set to be the “biggest one yet” featuring a new frog mount that can swim faster and jump higher than any other steed. In addition, we have a new ally called the mysterious witches who use their potions to fight the piglins.
Not only that, the piglins also have some upgrades of their own featuring the clanger, a loud and long piglin, and the air chopper which pushes the units back. The new update is set to roll out next year while the next Lost Legends chapter will release mid-November.
1.21 Update Features
The next major update is set to release in mid-2024 with lots of new features. Mojang is planning to introduce automated crafting, trial chambers, copper bulbs and so much more. We are going to discuss them in this section.
Automated Crafting would be possible with the help of a tool called The Crafter. It will be particularly useful to Redstone Engineers. The Trial Chambers are structured with new challenges that players will have to overcome. The Breeze is something that will appear during those trials. They shoot wind projectiles and explode when they come in contact with a player.
Mojang is also introducing a copper bulb which oxidizes over time, causing it to get dimmer. There is also a Trial Spawner which spawns mobs.
Mob Vote Winner: Armadillo
We finally have the winner of the mob vote which is the Armadillo. The Armadillo garnered 42.3% of the total votes while the Penguin and the Crab got 25.2% and 32.5% respectively. These mobs can be found in the Savannah biome and they drop scute which can be useful in crafting armor for your pet wolves.
The Armadillo is now set to join the Minecraft servers forever when the next update rolls out.
Minecraft’s 15-Year Celebration
In addition to all of the other announcements, Minecraft is also set to celebrate its 15 years of existence with an event. Not much is known about this particular event but signs point to celebrations beginning and continuing through 2024.
