Aug 31, 2010: First MinecraftCon (now MineCon)
Recommended Videos
This first convention of Minecraft fans was more of a casual meetup of just over 30 people. The true MineCon has grown into something much larger and is the birthplace of multiple memes, including dedotated wam.
Even though this wasn’t an officially sanctioned convention, it marked the first time that a large group of Minecraft fans came together to discuss their passion. Persson even made an appearance which further solidified this event as the true first Minecraft convention.
Creating a successful game is a wonderful thing. Seeing a game’s fans build a welcoming and engaged community is possibly even better.
