There are more than a few announcements that are expected to be made during Live 2024.

Mojang has also shared snippets of what it plans to reveal. Currently, fans and watchers are expecting the following announcements:

• News on the upcoming 1.22 update and the content it contains.
• News on Mojang's "game drops", which the studio has pointed to as a new way to add content and features to the title outside of major updates. Trial examples of these drops include the previously released Armored Paws update, which introduced wolf armor and new wolf mob variants.
• Developments on A Minecraft Movie by Warner Bros. Pictures, which is slated to be released on April 4, 2025.
• New marketplace content for Bedrock Edition, including the potential reveal of more Creator Items or developments for the Marketplace Pass.
• Potential new projects utilizing the Minecraft IP including spin-off games, merchandise, or VR experiences.
• An after-show that will take a closer look at the content announced during the main presentation.

While not all of these expected announcements will likely materialize, things like the 1.22 update and the Warner Bros. film feel much more certain due to Mojang's previous Live events, as well as the recent confirmation of the movie's release date.

Will the Bundles of Bravery leaks turn out to be true during Minecraft Live 2024?

On September 24, 2024, the game's official website updated its front page in anticipation of the conclusion of Live 2024. However, it did so prematurely, and the page update was quickly rolled back.

Many players managed to capture the front page of the website before its changes were reversed, and the details shared were quite enlightening, to say the least.

The front page made mention of a "Bundles of Bravery" drop, which may be the first new "game drop" that Mojang has planned, likely to fully introduce bundle items beyond the Experimental Feature toggle.

The archive of the page also referenced more Minecraft movie details, as well as a new pale garden biome and a hostile mob that resides within it called the creaking.

The creaking, at the very least, seems to have been hinted at by official sources. In a recent YouTube video titled "All About Minecraft Live 2024...", Mojang Chief Content Officer Vu Bui shared a sound effect of a new mystery mob. He ended the video with a found footage horror skit of himself sneaking into a "secret" room where new content is developed before he drops his camera in fear.

This was followed up by the title's official TikTok account sharing a brief video clip of a shadowy creature with three orange glowing eyes, seemingly confirming that a new mob is in the works.

Whatever the case, it remains to be seen if the website leaks will prove to be true, but fans should find out once Live 2024 kicks off on September 28.
