It was conceived by [[Markus Persson|Notch]] after expressing in a blog post<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160118182136/http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1008498266/how-about-a-somewhat-spontaneous-minecraftcon-2010</ref> several requests for a meet-up by players and had called on the community to organize one with no specific choice of venue.<ref>https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/minecraft-java-edition/discussion/115057-minecraftcon-2010-in-bellevue</ref> Notch was already in the area on a visit to the offices of Valve Software.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20100905215121/http://notch.tumblr.com/post/1058999436/a-brief-summary-of-bellevue-more-to-come-next-week</ref> While Notch had labeled it "Minecraftcon 2010", it is a bit of a misnomer as it implies a more formal convention, like a typical {{w|Gaming convention|gaming}} or {{w|anime convention}}. A thread on the [[Minecraft Forum]]<ref>http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/25879-</ref> was an unofficial organization point for the convention, complete with YouTube videos and pictures afterwards.<ref>{{reddit|d58pz|title=MinecraftCon 2010, Bellevue, August 31st|author=deleted|date=August 25, 2010}}</ref>

More than fifty people had turned up at the gathering, including one in a full body [[creeper]] costume,<ref>[[:File:Creeper costume at MINECON 2010.jpg]]</ref> in which Notch took a cautious interest. Notch spoke about his future plans for the game,<ref>{{reddit|d846p|title=Confirmed additions from minecraftcon 2010|author=Ballsmasher|date=September 1, 2010}}</ref><ref>https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/archive/alpha/alpha-survival-single-player/818408-minecraftcon-2010-which-one-for-friday-less-than-9</ref> as well as the recent popularity of [[Herobrine]].<ref>{{ytl|7vjhooRq3Ek|MinecraftCon 2010|Miles Smith|September 1, 2010}}</ref> Several attendees livestreamed the event or recorded video footage later uploaded to YouTube.<ref>{{reddit|d7xej|title=MinecraftCon 2010 Livestreams|author=deleted|date=August 31, 2010}}{{dead link}}</ref><ref>{{reddit|d7yxu|title=Notch is currently streaming live from the impromptu MinecraftCon 2010|author=deleted|date=September 1, 2010}}{{dead link}}</ref>
