MINECON Earth has officially concluded! Before it goes into hibernation until the planning for next year’s MINECON begins, one of the creators compiled a helpful summary of everything that was announced and shared this information throughout the event.
If you missed the live stream, don’t worry! The entire showcase will soon be available on our website, and we’ll provide updates on this story as quickly as possible.
Ocean Update
The oceans in Minecraft PE are set to receive their most significant update yet! The Ocean Update introduces a plethora of new features to MCPE, including corals, seaweed, additional fish species, dolphins, shipwrecks to explore, new water physics, and much more! The newly revamped ocean will require new weaponry, and alongside the Ocean Update, a trident will be added to the game. This weapon can be thrown at enemies or used in close combat, and it can also be enchanted for tactical advantages during your underwater battles in Minecraft PE. The Loyalty enchantment will make the trident return to you even after being thrown, while the Piercing, Riptide, … well, we’ll let your imagination fill in the rest! The Ocean Update for MCPE is anticipated in an upcoming release.

New Minecraft Server
Introducing our new server partner for Minecraft Pocket Edition: The Hive! This year, they’re bringing their fantastic mini-game Death Run to Minecraft. In Death Run, players navigate through a map, overcoming obstacles, avoiding traps, and showcasing their parkour skills to be the first to reach the finish line! Start honing your running skills now, as Death Run on The Hive will be coming to Minecraft PE soon.
Super Duper Graphics
The community is also eager for the Super Duper Graphics pack. Although an official release occurred this year, there’s still a lot of work ahead, and this pack is not expected to launch in 2017. It will be released next year, and you’ll find more information about it on our site.
Mob B Joins Minecraft!

And another huge thank you for participating in MINECON Earth! The community wouldn’t be able to host such events without the support of countless players from around the globe in MCPE. You truly helped make the live stream accessible to all.
