Minecon 2015
Mojang's 2015 Minecraft convention in London, a Guinness World Record holder for the largest video game convention, featuring the Combat Update reveal and DanTDM's live stage performance.
Overview
Minecon 2015 was Mojang's first Minecraft convention held outside North America and set a Guinness World Record for the largest dedicated video game convention of its kind at the time. It gave the game's massive, largely young fanbase an early template for large-scale gaming conventions built around community creators, and cemented YouTube personalities like DanTDM as headline draws rather than side attractions.
