As we speak, a number of exciting panels are underway!  Recently completed panels include: The Voxel Box presentation (with special guest, SethBling), which covered the many challenges of map-making, modelling and more. Also recently completed, an in-depth Q&A session with Markus "Notch" Persson. Additionally, I recently moderated the Modding Pro Panel, with secret special guest and Mojangster, Erik "Grum" Broes, and a surprise appearance by Jens "Jeb" Bergensten!  The gurus of modding touched on a number of topics, such as the challenges, pitfalls, and rewards of big-time modding, as well as an insider's perspective on the upcoming Mod API and how it will interact with current and future mods, and a lot more - videos coming soon!

In the meantime, enjoy an insider's view on their travels to Minecon:

Lydia Winters said:

So you wanna be FAMOUS?

Some things that will make this year’s MINECON incredible:

  • All of you
  • Amazing panels about everything Minecraft you can imagine
  • A killer exhibit hall with hand picked exhibitors
  • An interactive area… nope… I’m not telling you ANYTHING else about this one
  • A private party at Walt Disney Studios. Ride ALL the rides with fellow Minecrafters – Too much awesome to describe

That'sssss a nice game you have there...


As many of you know, Borderlands 2 launched earlier today.  What came as a surprise to many was the surprise introduction of Minecraft cameos in the game - and there's more than just a few in there!

During the course of the Borderlands 2 campaign, fpsgeneral.com guru "NateRios" discovered a plethora of blocky goodness; players will meet some familiar enemies, and have access to customization options from everyone's favorite cross-platform sandbox blockbuster.  The creeper above is only one such cameo - there are player customization options, Minecraft blocks in the maps themselves, and more!  You can check out the full gallery in the links below.

Also, if you're interested in checking out all that Borderlands 2 has to offer, be sure to take a look at fpsgeneral.com for all things Borderlands, and more!

Speaking of borders, Minecon 2012 Paris tickets have once again sold out today!  They are going super-fast, but fear not!  Another batch of tickets will be released on Thursday, September 20th at 7:00 PM (19:00) CEST!  If you have any plans to hit up Minecon this year at Disneyland Paris, get these tickets before they're gone - there is no telling when more will be released - links below!
