Minecraft’s expansive universe continues to captivate audiences, prompting Mojang Studios to increase the frequency of its update announcements. The beloved franchise will now host Minecraft Live events twice a year, with the latest iteration for 2025 just unveiled. A teaser trailer has been released, hinting at the exciting features of the upcoming “The Copper Age” update, along with new game releases and exclusive behind-the-scenes content.
The upcoming Minecraft Live is set to air on September 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. CEST. Viewers can tune in through various platforms, including TikTok and Instagram, with additional streaming options expected to be announced as the date approaches. This event promises to showcase not only new game drops but also insights from developers, culminating in a “Dig Deep After Show” where attendees can engage with the latest features.
What am I expecting to see at this Minecraft Live?
As Mojang Studios shifts to more frequent, smaller game drops, the anticipation surrounding each event remains high. The previous Minecraft Live was filled with thrilling announcements, setting a high bar for the upcoming show. The spotlight is likely to shine on “The Copper Age,” a highly anticipated update that resurrects the Copper Golem and introduces a wealth of new copper-themed features. Although the update has garnered attention, a specific release date has yet to be disclosed.

There’s a good chance “The Copper Age” update will release during or immediately after the show.
It is reasonable to anticipate that Mojang will announce the release date for The Copper Age during Minecraft Live, with speculation suggesting a potential surprise launch during the event itself. The swift timeline between the last Minecraft Live and the subsequent update reinforces this possibility.
During the event, the Minecraft team is expected to unveil additional features of The Copper Age that were not included in the initial announcement, such as new shelves and decorative blocks made from copper. This update will mark the third game drop of the year, with a fourth likely on the horizon for the winter season. Mojang Studios is poised to reveal at least one more game drop to follow The Copper Age, though the specifics remain under wraps.
As the year draws to a close, players are hopeful for a memorable final update for 2025, ideally introducing a new hostile mob and addressing the long-awaited combat enhancements for the Bedrock Edition. While the details remain elusive, hardcore fans can expect to see new features rolling out in snapshots and previews shortly after the event.
However, it is worth noting that the Minecraft Live Mob Vote will not be returning, a decision that many players may welcome.
