Minecraft Creator Summits were annual events hosted by Mojang Studios to bring together Minecraft content creators. These summits were held in Stockholm and lasted up to three days. They included activities such as games, dinners, and parties at Mojang Studios' offices, as well as conferences. Minecraft Creator Summits served as a platform for content creators to engage directly with Mojang employees and gain exclusive insights of upcoming content. They took place from 2017 to 2019.
Starting in 2021, they were replaced by Minecraft Virtual Creator Summits[1][2] and a dedicated content creator Discord server managed by Mojang Studios.[citation needed] Although content creators remain in touch with Mojang through the dedicated Discord server, the Minecraft Virtual Creator Summit 2022 marked the last publicly known full Minecraft Creator Summit.[citation needed]
It was confirmed that the official modding API would be exclusive to Bedrock Edition and that no modding API is planned for Java Edition as third-party modding APIs are good enough.[4]
On August 20, content creators were welcomed at the airport where they were then driven to the Hobbo Hotel. They could then take a room tour and discover the different gifts they received, including:
A Creator Summit 2017 tote bag.
A Creator Summit 2017 water bottle.
A Creator Summit 2017 sticker.
Various Swedish meals.
They were then invited to a party at the Mojang Studios office at 7pm.
On August 21, after taking their breakfast at the Hobbo Hotel, content creators were invited to a presentation and a lunch from 10am to 1:30pm.
From 1:30pm to 5pm, content creators were playing the "Mojang City Challenge". Content creators were in teams and had to complete different missions, most of them requiring getting around Stockholm.
At 8pm, content creators were invited to a "different but delicious dinner" with some Mojang Studios employees at SjΓ€tte Tunnan, a restaurant serving medieval dishes.
On August 22, after taking their breakfast at the Hobbo Hotel, at 8am, content creators were invited to a boat trip to the Stockholm archipelago with some Mojang Studios employees. At 10am, they had lunch and attended a presentation at Badholmen, a restaurant located on one of the islands of the archipelago.
At 3pm, content creators took part in a boat race.
At 7:30pm, after some free time, content creators were invited to a last dinner with some Mojang Studios employees.
Jeb announced that a modding API for Minecraft: Chinese Edition was in the works, and that it could end up being ported for the Java Edition.
Jeb stated that every event in a world should be the consequences of the player's actions. The only exception being thunderstorms (prior to the addition of lightning rods).[7]
The combat system introduced in Combat Update was designed to work on touching screens.[7]
A Java Edition developer stated that there could eventually be a GUI update in both Bedrock Edition and Java Edition.[7] This statement was already made during the previous Creator Summit.
The new GUI would be more modular and similar in both editions.
Jeb stated that the Minecraft lore should be up to the player's interpretation.[7]
More stairs and slabs are planned for the upcoming update (Village & Pillage). However, only rock blocks are concerned - it's been confirmed that there wouldn't be stairs and slabs for dirt and concrete.[7]
On May 30, after gathering in the hotel's meeting room, content creators and several Mojang and Microsoft employees were transported to Rosendals TrΓ€dgΓ₯rd. They attended a conference given by Jens Bergensten and Vu Bui among others in one of the greenhouses of the garden.
After the conference, they had lunch. Following the meal, the group walked to GrΓΆna Lund, where they were divided into teams to complete challenges, including various fairground games.
After taking a ferry, the group went to an icebar, a bar made entirely of ice, before going to TrΓ€dgΓ₯rden, an outdoor club in Stockholm.
On May 31, the group went to the Vaxholm Fortress. After visiting it, the group was divided into teams and had to complete challenges inspired by Fort Boyard in the castle.
Content creators and Mojang employees then embarked on speedboat tours through the archipelago.
They were later invited to a party at the newly inaugurated Mojang Studios offices.
This year, in addition to content creators on YouTube and Twitch, content creators on the Marketplace were invited. There were between 150 and 200 attendees.[9]
ProfMobius's favorite update was the upcoming world generation revamp that he already teased during the Creator Summit 2018 and the village generation overhaul.
Regarding adding some of OptiFine's features, such as shaders, to Minecraft, Dinnerbone stated that there is no reason to do what a mod does well enough.[10]
When asked about a "Cave Update", ProfMobius confirmed that they thought about it and that it would involve 3D biomes.[10]
It was confirmed that parity between Java Edition and Bedrock Edition was their goal, although there will always be differences.[10]
It was confirmed that Minecraft Earth would be free-to-play and linked to the player's Bedrock Edition profile. Furthermore, the closed-beta was announced for the end of the season.[9]
