A few of us watched the Minecon event live for all the new things coming soon to minecraft, I was out voting live on the New mob and we got Mob B! https://twitter.com/minecraftpirate

Be warned, this is SUPER MEGA cringe, so I have also attached a changelog in text form so you don’t have to suffer! The main update was the Aquatic update, which Jeb introduced near the end, then the rest of it is just utter garbage.

This is a mega thread to talk about all the announcements from Minecon Earth 2017.

Some Topics from Minecon Earth.
