== Announcement ==
On March 30, 2014, it had originally been announced that the next MINECON would take place somewhere in Europe.

It was confirmed that MINECON would not be held in 2014, instead it was moved to Spring 2015, and was held in London.<ref>{{citation|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140821162300/https://mojang.com/2014/08/minecon-2015/|title=MINECON 2015|author=Vu Bui|website=Mojang.com|date=August 21, 2014}}</ref>
