🎬 What Went Down: Highlights from Minecraft LIVE 2025

Minecraft LIVE 2025 has wrapped up, and there was a lot to take in. If you missed the stream or just want a simple breakdown, I’ve got you covered. From new features to the next big update, here’s everything you need to know about what Mojang announced and what’s coming to Minecraft soon.

🎉 The Big Reveals

This year’s show focused less on flashy tricks and more on real updates that will craft how we play in the months ahead. Here are the highlights:

• The Copper Age Drop – Mojang revealed a new “game drop” centered around copper. I highlighted most of this in one of my previous posts if you'd like to catch up! (https://blog.rackgenius.com/copper-golems-tools-arrive-in-minecrafts-latest-snapshot )
• The Nautilus – A new mob coming into the game. It looks like underwater travel and exploration is about to get even better.
• The Spear – A brand new weapon teased during the show. It could change the way we think about combat and survival, especially on top of a horse.
• Zombie Horses – After years, it's finally possible to find Zombie Horses in the wild. What an interesting turn of events!

🔍 Breaking It Down

The Copper Age

Copper has been in the game for a while, but the “Copper Age” drop is designed to expand what players can actually do with it. (https://blog.rackgenius.com/copper-golems-tools-arrive-in-minecrafts-latest-snapshot )

Nautilus and Spear

The nautilus brings more life to the oceans, while the spear feels like the start of something bigger for combat updates. Mojang hinted at more ways to interact with the world underwater, which could make ocean exploration more exciting. The spear especially feels like a tool with potential. Imagine it being useful both above ground and under the sea. (That gives the Trident some competition)

✅ What You Should Do Now

If you’re looking to stay ahead of the updates, here’s how to prepare for what’s coming:

• Keep an eye on snapshots and previews – New features usually land here first, so watch for the Copper Age details to roll out.
• Follow official updates – Mojang will be sharing more info in the weeks ahead on minecraft.net.
• Experiment early – Once the spear, nautilus, or copper features hit testing, jump in and try them out.
• Share feedback – Mojang often tweaks features based on community input, so your voice actually matters here.

🎬 Final Thoughts

Minecraft LIVE 2025 didn’t overcomplicate things. Instead, it gave us a clear direction for the game’s future: expanding core mechanics, refreshing combat and exploration, and bringing more purpose to materials we already know. The Copper Age drop is the headline, but the nautilus, zombie horse, and spear are just as exciting in their own ways.

As always, we’ll keep you posted on every new major release and surprise as they come out. For now, consider this your recap of everything that went down at Minecraft LIVE.
