[UPBEAT MUSIC]

Welcome to
Minecraft Live 2024.

We're coming to you from
the home of Minecraft,

here at our office
in Stockholm, Sweden.

[VIDEO GAME MUSIC]

We've got a fun show for you
with the latest and greatest

things coming to the
world of Minecraft.

A brand new, never
before seen game drop,

inside info directly from
our team, and a sneak peek

into the wider
world of Minecraft,

including some exclusive
insight into our upcoming movie.

Everything we'll show
you for Vanilla Minecraft

is coming very soon.

In fact, you'll be playing
it in the next few months.

The community has always been
at the heart of Minecraft.

Your creativity and passion
for 15 years and counting

inspires us to create, both
inside and outside of our games.

Thinking back to
those early days,

even the official
Minecraft game trailer

was made by the community.

When I first started
playing Minecraft in 2010,

this wonderful
community-made video

was one of the first things
I ever saw about the game.

Whenever I rewatch it, I think
back to my first moments playing

and how this game has changed
so many lives, including mine.

NARRATOR: Let's go
to a place where

everything is made of blocks,
where the only limit is

your imagination.

Let's go wherever
you want to go--

climb the tallest
mountains, venture down

to the darkest
caves, build anything

you want day or
night, rain or shine,

because this is the most
significant sandbox you'll ever

set foot in.

Build a majestic castle,
invent a new machine

or take a ride on
a roller coaster.

Play with friends.

Build your own little community.

Protect yourself with
the strongest armor

that you can craft and fight
off the dangers of the night.

No one can tell you what
you can or cannot do.

With no rules to follow,
this adventure is up to you.

That trailer really
brings back memories.

We've come so far, and
yet Minecraft is still

the same game we all love.

We have now celebrated
Minecraft's 15 year anniversary,

and it's been an
incredible year.

A few highlights are the
Tricky Trials update,

marketplace summer celebration,
and Ender Cup championships.

I started working on
Minecraft and Minecraft

related projects
nearly 14 years ago.

At first, I was coding
back when Mojang

had a small apartment turned
office here in Stockholm.

Now I'm Mojang's chief
creative officer,

and I try my best to help all
our teams to create the greatest

Minecraft experiences.

The world of Minecraft is
still growing in many ways,

and you might wonder
how it's possible for us

to explore so many stories and
interpretations of the universe.

The truth is that
you, our community,

have been doing this
since the beginning.

Every player has their
own story to tell

and their own take
on what Minecraft is.

We take inspiration
from that creativity

when we explore new things.

Minecraft Dungeons
told the story

of the arch-illager,
and Minecraft

Legends went back
in time and let

you lead mobs into battle
with a piglin invasion.

Today you'll hear about
some of the upcoming ways

we're telling stories
beyond our games

and exploring more
interpretations

of what Minecraft can be.

Soon we'll get to see the
world of Minecraft brought

to life on the big screen,
thanks to our upcoming film,

our Minecraft Movie.

I had the opportunity to travel
all the way to New Zealand

and finally see the
production first hand.

It's one example
of how Minecraft

is growing in entertainment,
but at the heart of it

all is still the game.

The teams working on
Minecraft are ambitious,

and we want to create the best
tools and technologies that

will help us and creators to
make more Minecraft stories.

The core Vanilla gameplay
team did a tremendous job

with Tricky Trials.

Now we're planning to have
a change of pace in terms

of releasing new features.

Earlier this year, they
released the Armored Paws drop,

which included armadillo
and new wolf variants,

and the ambition is to
continue to drop more feature

nuggets more frequently.

These more regular updates will
replace the yearly summer update

that you might be used to.

This will also allow us to
consider long term improvements

to ensure we can build
Minecraft for the long run.

When we expand into new areas,
our primary creative principle

is that it starts with Vanilla,
because just as the trailer

you saw, that is
what brought us here,

and it's still our favorite
game for 15 years and counting.

You can rely on us,
that our dedication

will last another 15 and more.

[MINECRAFT MUSIC]

[CARTOONISH GLUGGING]

Hello, everyone.

I hope you all are well.

As Jens mentioned, me
and the core game team

are working on drops.

And today we are excited
to show you two of them

that we have been working
on, and both of them

will release within
the next few months.

A little bit later in the show,
we will, for the first time,

show you a completely new
drop that adds a new biome

with its own unique mood.

But before that, we would love
to start with our next drop.

It's a combination of
two things many of you

have been wishing for.

It's hardcore mode in
Bedrock and bundles,

and we call it
Bundles of Bravery.

And we have two
amazing, clever team

members that will show more.

[MINECRAFT MUSIC]

Hardcore mode is your
traditional Minecraft

experience, except
with one life to live.

Playing hardcore
mode brings back

that feeling of the first
time that you play Minecraft

because everything is new,
everything is dangerous,

but now your entire
playthrough, everything

is dangerous all
the time, and that

adds to the level of excitement
that you have for everything

that you do.

Everything is new,
everything is scarier

because you can't afford to
make any of those mistakes.

In Java and in Bedrock, we have
a very different menu experience

for getting into hardcore mode.

So in Bedrock, we have
this nice little toggle

that you flip that says, I want
to play this in hardcore mode.

But my favorite part is
that in the corner where

you have your little
image of your world

that you're about to join, a
little outline appears, and then

the hardcore heart
starts to pulse there,

so you really know
that you're going

to have a very difficult
experience in front of you.

When you've been playing
Minecraft for a long time,

you get into a routine,
and you do things

on the regular that are
just very normal for you.

But when you play hardcore mode,
you have to break that routine

and create an entirely
new way to play

that is maybe a little
bit more risk-averse,

unless you want to play very
often, very short bursts.

But your experience
is always going

to be unique and very different,
because that one life to live

changes the entire
way that you play.

[MINECRAFT MUSIC]

I'm super excited for
you to try hardcore mode,

and maybe you'll
feel a little safer

if you're able to bring
those extra items with you

in the new bundles.

CREW: This is Matthew.

Take one.

We added bundles to
help people pack more

into their inventory.

So in old versions of Minecraft,
if you were digging a tunnel,

you might end up with 64
blocks of cobblestone,

and it fits into
one inventory slot.

Today, if you dig
that same tunnel,

you're going to get a
lot of different blocks.

Even if it's only
64 blocks in total,

they're going to take a
lot of inventory slots

because they don't
stack together.

A bundle lets you pack
those items together,

reclaim that space, and
have an inventory that

feels like it did back in
the early days of Minecraft.

When we first came up with
the idea for the bundle,

we wanted to make sure it was
actually going to be useful.

So we watched a whole lot of
streams of players playing

survival Minecraft.

We waited until they
opened their inventory

and then we took a screenshot.

Then we went through all
these screenshots and we said,

what could this player
do if they had a bundle?

What we found is that most
people would be able to free up

eight inventory slots or more,
which gave them a lot of room

to carry more of
anything they wanted.

The main advantage
of using a bundle

is that you can
go out for longer.

If you're going out on
your first adventure,

you can pack things
into a bundle

and have a lot more
space in your inventory

before it fills up and you
have to come home again.

There are a lot of creative
ways to use bundles as well.

You could create a
gift for your friends,

dye a bundle in
their favorite color

and give it to them with
their favorite items inside.

Bundles are also an
interesting roleplay item,

or it could be used
in storytelling.

The idea of having
a little bag is just

kind of inherently cute and fun.

Da, da, da, da, da, da,
da, da, villager news.

Breaking news.

We interrupt this Minecraft live
broadcast for a special report.

There's been a monster sighting.

Here's villager number nine.

Thanks number five.

Villager number 15 here says
there's a monstrous creature

right there in those woods.

So, number 15, have you ever
lied on the news before?

What?

I'm not lying.

I was with my group and the
monster had got all of them.

They're all gone.

Maybe they just
don't like you,

you know, because
of all the lies.

What?

That's ridiculous--

All right.

To put an end to these
clear fabrications,

I'm going to go into
the spooky forest

and prove there's no monster.

All right, let's go.

Oh, you're heading
into the woods?

Very well.

But I must warn you.

Those who enter there
never return here.

[EVIL LAUGHING]

What?

Why not?

No, this is just
the entrance, darling.

The exit's over there.

[SPOOKY MUSIC]

All right, come on.

Everybody keep their
eyes peeled for monsters.

Of course, we know
there's no such thing.

What about zombies?

Skeletons?

[ALL TALKING]

It didn't look
like any of those.

All right.

What did it look like?

Uh, I couldn't see it clearly.

It was behind a tree.

Convenient.

Hey, wait.

Does anyone feel like
we're being watched?

I hope so.

We need the ratings.

[RUMBLING]

Did anybody hear that?

Hear what?

The Creaking.

I'd say it was
more of a crunching.

Hey, wait.

Where's villager number 31?

Is that XP?

Ah, the monster got him!

[ALL CLAMORING]

No, no.

That could have
been anybody's XP,

and emeralds, and sign that says
I'm villager number 31, help me.

I'm being attacked by a monster.

It's circumstantial at best.

Let's move on.

Yeah, that does make sense.

All right, well,
I'm convinced.

Let's keep going.

I thought he said
there were monsters.

Yeah.

All right.

We've been here for a while and
we haven't seen any monsters.

Yeah, we should
make our way back.

Which way was that again?

Oh, no, we're lost.

What?

No.

Does anyone know the way back?

Villager number 47 will know.

He's a cartographer.

Where's villager number 47?

Hey, someone left a
map and all this XP.

Maybe there is a monster.

There's no monster.

Who said that?

[ALL SCREAMING]

It's going to get to us.

Villager number five, it
appears that a wave of hysteria

has afflicted the group.

Stunned by the notion that there
are no monsters in the woods.

The cameraman and I are
going to run away now

for unrelated reasons.

Goodbye.

Hey, what's behind that tree?

[SCREAMING]

Oh, no, Villager number nine.

Villager number
nine, are you there?

Is anybody there?

[CREAKING]

[TONE BEEPING]

I guess we'll never
know what caused

this tragic chain of events, but
it definitely wasn't a monster.

Well, sorry for
interrupting the show.

Now back to Minecraft Live.

Da, da, da, da, da, da.

Villager news.

[MINECRAFT MUSIC]

[LAVA BUBBLING]

It's been a long
time since I first

announced our Minecraft movie.

We've taken our time to
assemble an incredible team

and to create an original,
fun-filled take on the Minecraft

universe.

From us at Mojang, our
partners at Warner Brothers

and Legendary, our
talented director

Jared Hess, and some
amazing content creators.

We're bringing Minecraft
to the big screen in a way

you've never seen before, all
with the goal of authentically

capturing the
spirit of Minecraft,

by working with people who play,
love, and care about the game

as much as you do.

Let's hear from some
fellow Minecrafters

and take a closer look
at how we made this film.

Let's do it.

And action.

I'm Torfi, creative director
of entertainment for Mojang.

I'm Jared Hess, the
director of a Minecraft movie.

We're super excited to share
some exclusive information

about how we made this movie.

To be able to celebrate that
fun, amazing, creative spirit

that is Minecraft.

It was just like,
a dream come true.

We first started talking
about making a movie what

is over a decade ago.

We really wanted
to honor the world.

And then spending like, three
months in New Zealand on set,

we've really
enjoyed the journey.

We thought a lot about
what kind of movie to do.

And we chose live action because
it's not something that's

been seen before on this scale.

Creators have made
such amazing stories,

and short films, and content
in the animation space,

and it was like, this is the
chance for us doing a film

to do something different.

And also kind of
wish fulfillment,

because I've always
wondered like,

what would happen if I would
wake up inside the Minecraft

world, like, how would I survive
and would I survive at all?

The idea of being human
beings that are actually

going into this cubic
dimension of the overworld

and how those characters
are engaging in that space.

And it just seemed
like so much fun.

Everything is cubic,
and everything is blocks.

We had just an
absolutely amazing crew

of talented artists.

Our production
designer, Grant Major,

he was the production
designer for the original Lord

of the Rings trilogy.

We also are working with WETA.

And they all had their
own personal relationship

with the game.

So when they started
designing and drawing,

it just really popped.

What I like about
what you did is

that the choices you
make today support

the story and the character.

Part of that is because
just like, every Minecrafter,

every player, they bring
their own original story

to what they're doing.

It's very intentional
that this movie

is called A Minecraft Movie, as
opposed to the Minecraft movie.

We have an ensemble
of characters,

these unlikely misfits that
get thrown into this adventure

into the overworld.

And we experience a
lot of that through one

of our characters named Henry.

He's a young man going through
a tough time in his life,

and he literally has
to create to survive.

So I'm on the
page and I was like,

reading the script like wait,
these like, young kids hanging

in his room, like,
building and making stuff.

But that's what he is.

He's like a maker
and he's a creator.

Such a big part of Minecraft
has been the creative community

and modding.

So we thought that the Henry
character could represent

basically the modder, the person
who takes the Vanilla game

and tweaks it and adjusts it.

And then he comes into
the Minecraft world

and he meets Steve.

And Steve knows everything
about Vanilla Minecraft.

We've always said that Steve
isn't really a character.

Like, Steve is what
you make him, right?

And we've all embodied
Steve and been Steve

and done different things.

So our Steve in this
movie is Jack Black.

He is such a huge
fan of the game.

After a long day
of shooting, he was

up until the wee hours
of the night playing.

It was so funny because
he would show up be like,

dude, we've
got to try this thing, dude.

Some build that he did
or something gnarly that

happened to him.

He just loves the idea
that he's able to bring

his version of Steve to life.

Play it from the
top one more time.

Figuring out
crafting was super fun.

When the game came
out, there wasn't

even-- there wasn't a recipe
book and people were like, wait,

what if-- what happens if I
put these things like that?

When Garrett's character
and these new characters

come into the world, they
don't know the recipes.

They don't know what to do.

The Jason Momoa character,
Garrett, is a guy that was like,

a world championship video gamer
in the late 1980s and he kind

of peaked then, but he's
still stuck in the past.

He's got a little bit
of arrested development.

He's holding on to
that former glory.

We want to show you a
short scene that shows

Henry and Garrett and Steve.

Steve is kind of
demonstrating his skills

and then Garrett tries to
demonstrate his skills.

Yeah, and Garrett's the noob.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

This is a crafting table.

Here's how it works.

You place these elements in
different patterns and bam!

[RESOUNDING CLANG]

You got yourself a sweet blade.

You want to see a blade?

I'll show you a blade.

Yeah.

[METAL RATTLING]

Hammer.

Kazam-

That's OK, bud.

Buckets are useful here.

When we were
designing crafting

and talking about what
should it look like,

we basically started at
the crafting table itself.

We looked at the
crafting table, we

looked at the in-game
texture, and it

has this super pixelated
picture of a hammer and a saw

there on the side.

So obviously, that was built
into the real world crafting

table.

So we got this hammer
and we figured,

we honor the three by
three grid perfectly

and thought it would
be cool and kind of fun

and gratifying to just
give it a massive whack

and then have things appear.

Remember when we were trying to
figure out the size of the block

that you break itself.

When Steve holds a block,
it's like this big.

And there we actually found
out that going one meter

by one meter, which is like,
three feet by three feet,

is actually too big.

So we scaled it
down and the scale

is like 60 centimeters cubed,
which is two feet by two feet

by two feet.

And then in the background,
then maybe in the foreground,

we sometimes scaled
it down a little bit.

But we would always honor powers
of two, because programmers,

and we like powers of two.

We had to honor what you
experience in the game,

but also make it
work for human scale,

for our different
characters that

are manipulating the
environment and the world

and throwing blocks and make
it be practical for that,

but still feel
natural and organic

to what people
experience in the game

and feel authentic in that way.

That's a wrap on Minecraft!

This has been so much fun
talking about the movie,

everything that's gone into
making it, all of the ideas,

the point of view, and we cannot
wait to share this movie with

the world.

Yeah.

Super excited to see
you in the overworld.

Yeah.

The filmmakers are still hard
at work on A Minecraft Movie,

and collaborating closely
with us at Mojang,

as well as listening
to the community

to continue to shape and
craft the film in a way that's

fresh and new, but still
authentic to the spirit

of the game.

Look for more
exciting updates soon.

[MINECRAFT MUSIC]

Do you want to adventure
through Minecraft biomes

in real life?

You may have your chance with
Minecraft Experience, Villager

Rescue, our first real
world immersive experience,

where you'll get to
journey through a Minecraft

adventure in real life.

Let's take a behind
the scenes look

before it debuts in
Dallas this October,

and spawning in cities
near you in the future.

[CREW SPEAKING].

The premise of
Minecraft experience.

First thing is authenticity.

Our goal is to make
sure that it is truly

authentic for all of you folks.

The second thing is
defining a new lens

from which you can interact
with the game, with the IP,

with the brand.

This is a story of a
village attacked by zombies,

and it's your quest to
go out and save them.

We have 17 foot
projection walls that we

can interact with throughout,
which allows us to do things

like fight our mobs, chop down
trees, collect those resources,

everything that
you do in the game,

only this time you've
stepped inside it.

This is an experience
where you're

going to see,
feel, and hear what

it's like to be in Minecraft.

World premiere is in
Dallas-Fort Worth,

and then we'll see where we go.

Head to the website
and tell us where

you want to see The
Minecraft Experience.

And now it's time to reveal
our completely new drop,

releasing in a few months.

The team has been really
excited about the idea of adding

a new biome, and we created
one with its own unique mood

and identity.

[AMBIENT MUSIC]

During day time, it's
quiet, almost serene

in the new Pale Garden.

While you might feel calm
walking around in this forest,

there's also an eerie mood.

Something isn't quite right.

Then when darkness
falls, you indeed

feel another side of this place.

Like the hanging moss
shifts from being

pretty to really spooky, and you
realize that you're not alone.

There's something
lurking in the shadows.

So everything about this
biome feels unfamiliar,

and this is by design.

We want you to
feel a bit curious

and scared, like,
what is this place?

Why is it so different
from everything else?

What we needed for the biome
is to have a low visibility,

and we've created the pale
hanging moss for this.

This really inhibits
like, how much you can see

and how far you can see, but
you can still walk through it.

So you're traversing
through the forest

and you're trying
to find everything,

but you don't know what will
be behind the hanging moss.

Yeah, it gives you a strange
feeling when you enter.

It's unnaturally quiet
and a feeling of something

weird is going on here.

I really like the
ambience of the new biome.

It invokes really those
eerie and spooky feelings.

Yes, eerie indeed.

And turns out there actually
is something lurking

in the shadows.

The Creaking.

[HORROR MUSIC]

It's our first
tree-like creature,

and it's almost like it's
camouflaged in the pale garden.

And when it's dark
at night, it's

kind of hard to see it,
except those emmissive eyes.

Yeah.

And it also interacts with
those trees, which is super fun.

Yeah.

There's a special new block
that it has a connection to.

When you approach
The Creaking,

you can actually realize that
it doesn't take any damage.

And when you try to hit
it, it points to somewhere

in the canopy.

That's where basically
The Creaking Heart is,

and that's what
controls the mob.

One of the main themes of the
Pale Garden and its inhabitants

is that there's
a lot of contrast

from the rest of the world.

So when we made the
Creaking, we also

wanted it to be-- feel
unfamiliar and different

from other mobs, which is why
we made it more asymmetric,

to really go on this point of
being different from everything

else.

The Creaking doesn't
exist on its own.

It's more of like a puppet of
the new block, The Creaking

Heart.

So The Creaking Heart
and its Creaking puppet

really comes with a new combat
challenge or combat mechanic,

both in the way that we
need to destroy the heart

block to actually kill the
Creaking, and also, of course,

that The Creaking only
moves when you look away.

So don't blink.

I really like the sandbox-iness
of The Creaking Heart.

So if I use Silk
Touch, you obtain it

and then you can
place it anywhere you

want in the Minecraft world.

So if you want to be as evil
as The Creaking Heart itself,

you can place it and make
your friends really terrified.

[OMINOUS MUSIC]

To embrace the
quietness of Minecraft,

we added ambient
sounds for this biome

that only plays during the night
that comes from the blocks that

surrounds you, that will
make an even more creepier

experience for the player.

And to do that, you need
to play with the silence

and the contrast of the
silence and the sounds.

So to make Creaking, I
gathered a lot of creaky stuff

that will make creaky sounds.

Obviously, the
biggest thing would

be to gather wood and twigs and
stuff like that, dead leaves

to get rustling and creaking.

But I also recorded salty
sticks, the Swedish snack.

I think it's Swedish?

And one of the biggest
part, actually, of the sound

is my table, creaking, dragging
against the floor, and also

a chair.

I also recorded teeth.

It sounds a bit like bones,
maybe, when the mob is walking.

So it's--

What do you mean by teeth?

Oh, OK.

So we wanted to make the
biome very gray to give

this very eerie feeling, right.

And with this gray tones,
a very fitting new wood set

was going to be a
white colored wood set.

And this is something
that players

have wanted for a long time.

Yeah, I'm super
excited for the pale oak

wood set, especially
that in a lot of places,

people paint their fences white,
for example, for a white picket

fence, and that will be
exciting for a lot of players

to actually
represent themselves.

And then we also
have the hanging moss,

and you can bonemeal
it, so it's renewable.

And so I think just
bringing it as well

and maybe put it
in a green house

and things hang from the
roof like a wild garden.

Something, something
like that would be really

fun to build with it, I think.

Yeah.

And it's also really
unique carpet moss

because it's also spreads all
over the sides of the blocks.

And that's also
looks really great.

We look for a
lot of inspiration.

So we've looked at all these
kind of different forest

all over the world.

A tree that stood out was
like, the willow tree, like,

because it's very hanging,
there's a lot of drapery

and it feels very eerie.

Then we looked at
like, Spanish moss.

This was like, the inspiration
for the pale hanging

moss that we've
used in the biome

eventually, because this gives
this like, drapey feeling

without being willow trees.

And it was a little
bit more versatile

and flexible to
use in the biome,

and could also be used
as building blocks.

[SPOOKY MUSIC]

We are super
excited to see what

you do with this new features
and the new game drop.

We want to create
connections between features,

because the Minecraft
world is an ecosystem,

and we really want
it to feel like that.

And The Creaking Heart and
its puppet, The Creaking,

it really has a
new way of creating

this kind of connection.

So it's going to be really fun
to see you all experiencing it.

And it's actually coming to
Snapshots, previews, and betas

very soon, so soon you
can all try it out.

Villager number nine here.

Sorry for interrupting
again, but villager number 15

and I have just escaped
from the spooky forest.

And I'd just like to
state, like I said earlier,

that I was right.

There is, in fact, a monster in
the woods that looks like wood

and sounds like wood.

What?

That's a lie.

You didn't believe that at all.

He didn't believe me.

But in my heroic foray into
the spooky forest, I, Villager

number nine, single handedly
discovered the creature

that I shall now
name, The Crunching.

It's called a Creaking.

They literally
just said its name.

Maybe I should go
into monster hunting.

I'm clearly very good at it.

Villager number
nine, monster hunter.

It's got a nice ring to it.

Well, sorry to interrupt
the show again.

Now back to Minecraft Live.

Stick around with
us for the first ever

playthrough of the pale
garden in our aftershow,

starting in just a few moments.

Our developers will take us on a
deeper dive through the new game

drop as we bravely explore
this new biome together.

These new game drops can be
played in betas and snapshots

soon, and will release to
everyone in the next few months.

We hope you're as excited as
us about everything happening

in the world of Minecraft.

Minecraft wouldn't be what it
is today without all of you.

From all of us at Mojang
studios, a huge thank you.
