Minecraft Live 2022 Leaks and Rumors

In June 2022, keen-eyed community members spotted an update to the Chinese version of Minecraft Bedrock edition. After being translated, they revealed a list of the text on every single button in the game. Near the bottom of the list were several references to Minecraft Live, including a “Starts in…," “Ends in…," and most interestingly, “The time has come to add a new mob to Minecraft, and the choice is yours” button. 

The implication from all this is that Minecraft Live 2022 will somehow take place in-game in Minecraft Bedrock edition. What’s more, the mob voting will likely take place in Minecraft Bedrock edition as well. This would be a welcome change from the previous votes, which took place on Twitter, making them highly susceptible to being manipulated. If the info is real, all votes will have to have a Minecraft account linked to them. Additionally, this offers another reason why Java edition players were given Minecraft for free earlier this year.

Beyond this, the alleged leak suggests the a World Recovery system is being added, as well as some expanded editing tools in game. While these presumed leaks are of interest, readers should take them with a grain of salt until info is confirmed by Mojang.
