  "textContent": "Minecraft Live returns for a second time in 2026, and this one is different. Instead of a pre-recorded video, Mojang is broadcasting a special \"bonus\" edition live from the stage at TwitchCon Rotterdam, with Agnes Larsson hosting. It airs on Saturday, May 30, 2026, and you can watch the whole thing for free from home.\n\n**Quick answer:** Minecraft Live starts on May 30, 2026, at 11:30 AM ET (8:30 AM PT / 15:30 UTC). Watch it live on the official Minecraft YouTube or Twitch channels, or on Minecraft.net.\n\n**Release time:** May 30, 2026 at 11:30 AM ET (15:30 UTC)\n\n* * *\n\n## Minecraft Live May 2026 start time by region\n\nThe broadcast begins at 15:30 UTC. Because the show takes place during a live convention in Europe, viewers in the Americas catch it in the morning, while parts of Asia and Oceania will tune in past midnight on May 31. Here are the start times in common regions.\n\nMinecraft Live May 2026 airs from TwitchCon Rotterdam. Credit: Mojang Studios Region | Local start time\n---|---\nUS Pacific| 8:30 AM PT, May 30\nUS Eastern| 11:30 AM ET, May 30\nUTC| 15:30, May 30\nItaly (CET)| 5:30 PM, May 30\nIndia (IST)| 9:00 PM, May 30\nChina (CST)| 11:30 PM, May 30\nJapan (JST)| 12:30 AM, May 31\nAustralia (AEST)| 1:30 AM, May 31\nNew Zealand (NZST)| 3:30 AM, May 31\n\nThe main showcase is the only confirmed segment so far, and these convention-style presentations typically run about 20 to 30 minutes rather than the hour-long format of a standard Minecraft Live.\n\n* * *\n\n## How to watch Minecraft Live online\n\nYou do not need a TwitchCon ticket. The stream goes out on the official channels at the same time the show begins on stage.\n\n**Step 1:** Open the official Minecraft channel on YouTube or Twitch a few minutes before 15:30 UTC. The livestream usually appears at the top of the channel once it goes live.\n\n**Step 2:** If you prefer to watch on the web, head to the Minecraft Live page on Minecraft.net, which hosts the embedded player and the official countdown.\n\n**Step 3:** Stay through the full presentation if you want the cape reward. The method to claim the global cape is revealed during the broadcast itself.\n\n📺\n\nWatching live is the safest way to catch the reward details, since the claim instructions for the global cape are only shared during the show.\n\nImage credit: Xbox Game Studios\n\n* * *\n\n## Where to watch at TwitchCon Rotterdam\n\nFor attendees, the live event takes place in the Twitch Rivals Arena inside the Rotterdam Ahoy convention centre. Seating is limited. If you arrive late or cannot get a seat, the show is rebroadcast on the Cherry Grove Stage in the Minecraft Arena and in the NomNom Theatre on the second floor.\n\nThis is the first Minecraft Live staged in front of a live audience since 2019, and the first held at a convention since 2016. Jens Bergensten is not co-hosting this time, with Agnes Larsson leading the presentation instead.\n\n* * *\n\n## What to expect from Minecraft Live May 2026\n\nMojang has confirmed the show will cover the latest game drops, with developer insights and sneak peeks. The headline focus is expected to be the Chaos Cubed drop, which was teased during the March 2026 show.\n\nThe Chaos Cubed drop introduces the sulfur caves biome. Credit: Mojang Studios\n\nChaos Cubed centers on a new cave biome, the sulfur caves, built around sulfur and cinnabar block sets. It adds a hazard called potent sulfur boiling water that inflicts the nausea effect if you linger in it. The drop also brings a new mob, the Sulfur Cube, which can absorb blocks to take on different archetypes with their own properties. An official release date for the drop is expected to be announced during the stream.\n\nBeyond the update, the show is likely to share more on Minecraft Dungeons II, the announced sequel currently expected later in 2026. Two free capes are tied to the event as well.\n\nCape | Who can get it\n---|---\nCrafter Cape| In-person TwitchCon attendees only, via codes given to ticket holders who join Minecraft activities\nBuilder Cape| Global online viewers; the claim method is revealed during the broadcast\n\nWhether you are in Rotterdam or watching from your couch, set a reminder for 11:30 AM ET on May 30 so you do not miss the Chaos Cubed release date and the steps to grab the Builder Cape.",
