Welcome to 2026, dear reader! Last year, we unleashed mayhem-loving mounts, fun-loving ghasts, and both warm and cold varieties of cows, pigs, and chickens. And a lot more, but you’ll have to explore the game or scroll back on the Minecraft.net feed for those details! Right now, I want to look forward into the future. Particularly, the very near future! We’ve got some fun activities to kick the year off in true Minecraft style, and we’re going to need the entire community to join in!
Community challenges
Let’s set the bar high. Sky high! Or sky low, because these blocks are all on surface level. Whether you’re new to Minecraft or you’ve been digging straight down since the beginning, the entire community have officially been challenged to mine 4.25 billion stone blocks between Wednesday, January 7 8:00 AM PT/ 17:00 CET to Monday, January 12 11:00 AM PT/20:00 CET. Yeah. Billion! Spelled with a B, as in buzzy bee. So no excuses, get those pickaxes out because there’s a Victor’s Coat Character Creator item on the line!
