MINECON is less than a week away. We’re excited. You’re (hopefully) excited. Elite map maker Jigarbov is clearly very excited too, as he’s gone to the trouble of recreating the MINECON Earth logo as a fully explorable Minecraft map and released it for FREE on Marketplace. What a nice chap! Not to be outdone, the Minecraft team themselves have put together a free celebratory map as well, packed full of disco-dancing parrots. And, of course, it wouldn't be MINECON without some free MINECON skins! You can get all three today! Just pop over to the in-game Marketplace by clicking this very link on your Minecraftin’ mobile device or Windows 10 machine.

We’re also releasing some rather fancy paid content, too. Explore Imagiverse’s stunning Truffletop Town or play as an Enderman in the aptly named Enderman Forest. Check them out below. But first… the free stuff!

MINECON Earth Skinpack

by Mojang

Cosplayers, cake and dinner dress - everything you need for a MINECON celebration, pixellated, parcelled up and packed into a download for you! If you're a player on console, mobile or Windows 10, you can get the skins for free over in the in-game Marketplace. Players on Java Edition can get the skins by downloading the below zip.

Abstraction: MINECON Earth

by Jigarbov

Based on MINECON Earth’s spinning cube-planet logo, this map features a small floating landmass. But don’t let the size fool you: every block is crammed with hidden secrets and challenges. Well, not every block. But there are lots. You can play the map as a Complete the Monument adventure, or simply enjoy building and surviving on this block in the sky.

Purple Party Parrot Palace

by Minecraft Team

“A celebration of all things purple party parrot and palace!” writes the Minecraft Team in their description. “Master the mechanics of fireworks, armor stands, jukeboxes, and banners. Traverse a jungle island to find a massive parrot temple. Part tutorial and part adventure, this map will make your parrot dance.” What does that mean? Is it a threat?

Get the Purple Party Parrot Palace from Marketplace by clicking the link in this very sentence!

And now… the paid stuff!

Truffletop Town

by Imagiverse

Take in the view of this quirky township, each bulbous building neatly perched on a short stack of rock, dotted through a beautiful lagoon. Soar through the air, over the marshes, under the bridges, or find a clearing to gaze up at the balloons flying high in the sky.
