Minecraft Live 2022 was announced in September via a trailer on the Minecraft Youtube channel. It’s set to take place Saturday October 15 at 5PM BST / 12PM EDT / 9AM PDT on Youtube and the Minecraft Live website. You can tune in on any device that supports Youtube such as phones, tablets, PCs and game consoles. Alongside the main stream, there are American Sign Language and Audio Description versions of the stream also available.
Ahead of the stream, there is a vote taking place to determine which new mob will be joining the game. Mojang is asking players to decide out of three options – the Rascal, the Sniffer and the Tuff Golem. The Rascal is a mine-dwelling mob that plays hide-and-seek with the player. Giving hints along the way, if the player finds it three times in a row they’ll receive an Enchanted Pickaxe. An enchanted pickaxe can be enhanced with a variety of enchantments with strong perks that will prove very helpful to the player’s Minecraft experience. It’s a valuable tool to have.
The Sniffer is all about helping the player find things. Resembling a small turtle, he can be found in-game by diving for sniffer eggs in underwater ruins. The Sniffer can find long-lost plant types and new seeds for the player to grow. Finally, the Tuff Golem is a very small mob that can hold items for the player. They can move around the base, find an item and return it to its original spot, which means they will be invaluable in Redstone builds.
