Question, what is there to do at minecon? My son wants to go and we live close enough to paris that we could do it. Is it only
for programmers? Is there anything for kids (who play the game alot)?

Minecon is for a convention for minecraft fans.

Anybody can go, if your son watches youtubers that play minecraft then it would be a great idea to go.

All you need is tickets.

Speaking of tickets I need some to paris and go to disneyland there and buy me minecon tickets also.
brb while doing that.

To everyone focused on the "Dinseyland" part, Minecon is almost certainly going to be at the Disneyland convention centre, not in the park itself. Of course this means that if you want to visit Disneyland it will be right next door, but otherwise the two aren't really linked. Mostly this means that Minecon isn't in Paris itself but 40 minutes by local train from the city centre. I know Disney has some hotels and restaurants there but no idea what they are worth and what the prices are. People looking for budget accommodations (especially hostel-style) will probably want to look for something elsewhere though, for example in the eastern suburbs along the RER A line that links the city centre to Disneyland (last station to the very right, "Marne-la-vallée"). There are cheap places there. If you want to stay in Paris in a convenient but not too expensive place look around the Nation station, also on line A.

********. Why does it have to be on one weekend? That's a crap decision Mojang, and you must realise that. Many teens who like Minecraft can't go because we have "school in the morning." This is kind of ruining it for us. London would have been better. That's my rant over. LONDON 2013.

have it Australia next year

You guys already got the Olympics this year, can't have everything And I wouldn't hold my breath for London 2013. Mojang seems to want to rotate it in the world, so next year I would bet on either back to the US (maybe East Coast this time) or Asia, if Mojang has enough clients there to make it worthwhile.

And Paris is only two hours away from London by train. Really not that far.

Yeah, it's not far. It just so happens that it's on a weekend, not a school holiday. That means you have to get home ungodly late, and then feel like death the next morning. It hasn't been thought through properly for the younger demographic.

But school holidays vary from country to country (and even inside countries, in France at least). I don't really see how Mojang could organise a Minecon that was easy to attend for most people, especially younger ones. Almost everyone is going to have to do at least some travel, generally by plane.

i do anything to go to minecon

can next year be in Australia

DIsneyland?! I can't go cause i have school

*rages with sadness*
i would love to go, but i can't.

Maybe next year. I unfortunately will not be able to go. But it does sound fun!

Ok. So what? 10 year olds are allowed to be there if they want to. It's not like they came up to you and kicked you in the balls. They didn't harm anyone, so why be mad at them?

I mean it was like 90% younger children. I thought the demographic for the game was a lot different.

There might be a difference between those coming to Minecon and the general demographics. Almost all the Minecraft players I know are adults.

Already looking into fares and accommodation. Better brush up on my french though.

Can I suggest playing Millénaire?

I was hoping it'd be in London. Then it'd only be a 1 hour flight and in London they speak English. Most of Minecraft's players are little kids that only speak English, so Paris sucks. I think the only non-english-speaking place Minecon should ever be is in Sweden near where Minecraft is made.

If London is an hour by flight from your place then Paris is what, two hours? Big deal and you hardly need to speak French to go from the airport to Disneyland, or even to do a tour of the city centre...

I'm also not sure why you seem to think that the children playing Minecraft are all English speakers. According to my mod's stats there are more European players from German or French-speaking countries than from English-speaking ones. Would be cool actually if the main communities from the different European countries organised events in their languages on top of the Mojang ones.

Should have been in Disney world in Florida, then I could have gone.

Same here, I'm only 45 mins away from Disney world. I was happy when I saw DisneyLand...then I realized it was "Land" and Paris...

Same here. Plus they have freaking sweet convention centers.

I cant make it But whoever is going have fun

... Really? Disney Land Paris??? Are Jeb and Notch on narcotics or something? Ah well, as long as Disney doesn't decide to buy Minecraft, I hope everyone going has a great time. Unfortunately, i'm in America with no Travel money. How fun.

I swear.....If disney buys minecraft (This is kinda what im getting out of some people) I will GET a refund, I would flip a tit...I mean i like disney and all but holy **** they dont have to have EVERYTHING....

Disney is a fortune 100 company

IMHO should be in Tokyo 2013 and New York 2014 or vice versa, I live 10 mins away from NY, and Japan seems like a great place to hose a MineCon. China is too polluted n ****. Minecon 2015 should be in North Korea's Capitol
