People certainly love Minecraft. How could they not It celebrates the ability to create (and destroy) terrain on a wide-open scale, while at the same time enabling players to work together through co-op. The game has already proven to be an immense best seller, and, for a few years running, it’s gotten its own convention where Minecraft-ites get together and discuss everything about the game. Now, the world will be able to see what it’s all about.

Microsoft, in partnership with the streaming channel Twitch, has announced that Minecon, which takes place this weekend in London, will be live streamed across four channels all weekend long. This includes a variety of events from the show, including Minecraft related panels, gameplay sessions, keynote speeches, building and costume contests, and exhibits.

The events will be broken across four different channels, as follows:

First there’s the main Minecon channel, where most of the events will take place. Mojang’s official Twitch channel will also take part, along with specialized channels that will focus on the main stage and the main panel room.

However, there’s a catch. Since the event takes place in London, the show will be getting an early start for those viewing here in the United States. Twitch posted the schedule, which is as follows:

Saturday

2:00am PT Streams Live

2:30am PT – 3:30am PT – Opening Ceremony (Main Stream and Stage Stream)

3:30am PT – 11:00amPT – Day content from Studio, Main Stage and Panel rooms throughout the day (all streams)

11:30am PT – 8:30pm PT – Re-stream of content from the day for US audience (all streams)

Sunday

2:00am PT Streams Live

2:45am PT – 3:00am PT – Welcome! (Main Stream)

3:00am PT – 9:00am PT – Day content from Studio, Main Stage and Panel rooms throughout the day (all streams)

9:00am PT – 10:00am PT – Closing Ceremony

10:30am PT – 05:30pm PT – Re-stream of content from the day for US audience (all streams)

it may be a bit demanding for true Minecraft fans, but Minecon presents a unique opportunity to see what goes on at a themed convention such as this, while also getting inside the heads of the developers that help put the multi-million selling game together to begin with. The re-streaming opportunity will also enable users to see what they missed live – in case they don’t feel like being an early riser.

It also presents another key opportunity for Twitch to appeal to its growing game audience, as it’s done in the past with live tournaments and special gameplay sessions, including ones with sponsors like Coke.

It’s looking like a true party for Minecraft-ers this weekend – and yes, that includes those who love the Creepers.
