Wikipedia states that a time capsule is a "historic cache of goods or information, usually intended as a deliberate method of communication with people in the future."
Many companies like Lloyd, Disney, and Nickelodeon have been known to make time capsules, and Mojang is ready to join the party. Minecraft has become massively popular, a cultural phenomenon of the modern times, and it deserves a place in the future. The 15th anniversary celebration was the perfect time to announce the time capsule.
Coming to an important question - what are the folks at Mojang Studios going to put inside the time capsule? The developer will shed light on this over the next few months.
Mojang has confirmed that some of the items in the capsule will be community-made. Players from all around the world and popular content creators have likely given their input. The developers have also come up with creative additions to the time capsule. All the contents of the capsule will be revealed on the game's 30th anniversary when it is taken out.
Thankfully, the wait for the Minecraft 1.21 update will not be that long. We are hoping that Mojang Studios will reveal the official release date for the Tricky Trials update by the end of the anniversary event.
Till then, players can acquire different reward items every day. The developer has already given out the highly anticipated anniversary ‘creeper’ cape for free. Players can download it by visiting the game's official website and signing in with their account.
