Minecraft convention heads to sunny Orlando in November

4.3
Minecon 2013, the third annual Minecraft convention, will be held in Orlando, Florida, from November 2 - 3, with tickets and hotels available in July.

Notch says he chose Orlando by spinning a globe and sticking a sword through it, but we assume there are other reasons for his pick. Obviously, Orlando is the sole home of Universal Studios' magical theme park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Also, the weather in November should be absolutely lovely.

Minecon 2012 was held in Disneyland Paris in November and drew in 7,000 fans, and the previous year it set up shop in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 2011 event saw 5,000 attendees, and it hosted impressive scale models of real-life Minecraft beasts, including a 40 foot Enderdragon.

Aggie Is this just another way for Microsoft to make money?


How does this have anything to do with Microsoft? This is run by the developers of minecraft and has been for the last 3 years. If anybody is going to make money it's Notch and his team.

I'm pretty sure tickets go from $99-150. This is judging on the 2011 and 2012 prices though

Sashagrey I wouldn't travel on a plane or anything to go see this but if it was in the same country that i lived in then i'm sure i would go and have a look, the models of the sheep looks awesome heh =)


You should have said same area not country. Unless you live in a small country. I live in America and unless this was within two hours of me I'm not going.
