Mojang Studios is back for a May 2026 installment of Minecraft Live, and we’re here to gather all of the highlights.
With Minecraft Dungeons 2, major drops for the base game, and a new movie on the way, fans are already hoping to receive big updates for titles we already know about, rather than any new bombshell announcements. Still, this bonus summer event no doubt has viewers hoping for at least a few surprises after the March show brought reveals tied to new experiences and concept art for a full-on theme park.
“In this bonus Minecraft LIVE we’ll be sharing sneak peeks into the latest game drops, getting exclusive insights from the developers, and more!” an official description for the event says. “Tune in on May 30.”
What are you hoping to see in today’s show? Leave your predictions in the comments below while we wait for it to start at 8:30 a.m. PT / 11:30 a.m. ET on Twitch. Then, be sure to refresh this page for everything announced at the Minecraft Live March 2026 presentation.
Chaos Cubed is Coming June 16
Mojang kicked off its Minecraft Live May 2026 show to talk about its next base game drop, Chaos Cubed, which now has a June 16 release date. This is the update that focuses on Sulfur and all that it changes for players who love to craft, fight off mobs, and everything in between. Today, we got a sneak peek at how physics will change forever when Chaos Cubed launches for Minecraft in a few weeks.
Mojang Reveals First Look at New Minecraft Dungeons 2 Mob
Mojang isn’t ready to reveal too much about Minecraft Dungeons 2, yet, with today’s show mostly serving to give players just a glimpse at its new story with concept art. With this new tale comes the Twisted Warden, a new mob for the Minecraft world that looks to present a scarier threat for fans of the dungeon crawler.
Lego Continues Its Minecraft Partnership
Lego and Minecraft have been working together for some time now, but it sounds like the two creativity-based entities still have more plans up their sleeves. A new add-on, called Lego Minecraft Chicken Mounts, turns chickens into ridable mounts that can be customized with special abilities and looks.
First Look at A Minecraft Movie 2 With Official Title Reveal
Minecraft Live 2026 took a trip over to the set of A Minecraft Movie 2 to talk to the cast – and reveal its official title. Mojang’s sequel will officially be called A Minecraft Movie Squared.
Returning actors Jack Black (Steve), Jason Momoa (Garrett), and Danielle Brooks (Dawn), as well as new star Kirsten Dunst (Alex), all showed up to reveal the title of the new movie. Although shots of the set offered little for fans to pick apart, the title confirmation should help with the wait for its July 23, 2027, release date.
More Minecraft Drops in 2026
With Chaos Cubed now set with its June release date, Mojang is ready to tease what’s next. Today’s Minecraft Live showcase came with a tease for the next drop set to launch in fall 2026. Players were told to expect an update that focuses on exploration, adventure, and social interactions with friends, with the developers teasing the new rust-toned dappled forest biome, too.
