Minecraft has announced that its bi-annual showcase, Minecraft Live, will be taking place on Saturday, March 21. The livestream will bring together developers and the gaming community for a look at what's next for the blocky sandbox sensation.
Fans will receive a look at upcoming game drops during the event, along with behind-the-scenes content, guest appearances, and more "exciting stuff". The presentation will be available on the game's official YouTube and Twitch channels, alongside Minecraft.net.
The star of this spring showcase is Tiny Takeover, the first major game drop of 2026. The game drop introduces many new versions of existing baby mobs, giving the Overworld a cuter appearance. The developer is also adding the golden dandelion to Minecraft, a craftable item that gives players the power to keep baby mobs from aging.
The format changed in 2025 when Mojang started hosting two Minecraft Live presentations each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. This shift reflects how Mojang seeks to maintain engagement across the calendar year. Fans should receive their first look at the second game drop for 2026 during the March presentation.
For Australian viewers, the event takes place at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 5pm GMT on Saturday, March 21, 2026, which translates to early morning hours on 22 March Australian Eastern time depending on the state. Those wanting to catch the livestream live will need to adjust for their local timezone accordingly.
