Minecraft LIVE September 2025: Summary of the Latest Update, Mounts of Mayhem & Dragon Ball-Z DLC

Minecraft LIVE is an annual event from Mojang Studios showcasing updates, game drops, collaborations, and other surprises in the Minecraft ecosystem. The September 2025 edition is packed with announcements — here’s a core summary of what you need to know.

Mounts of Mayhem — sneak peek of new features

The event opened with a feature sneak peek from Mounts of Mayhem, a game drop scheduled for release at the end of the year. Main highlights:

• Rideable Nautilus — a new sea creature that allows exploration of the ocean floor in a different way; there is also a new effect called Breath of the Nautilus that stops the breath meter, making diving safer. Nautilus can be equipped like other mounts (similar to the concept of a ghast that can be decorated).
• Tiered Spear — a new weapon with a “tiered” mechanic (crafting materials affect effects). The spear supports two attack styles: normal thrust and charge attack. Charge has timing; holding too long reduces its attributes. Interestingly, spear damage is influenced by movement speed — faster (e.g. while riding) → stronger attacks.
• All these features will enter the testing phase soon.

The Copper Age — The Copper Age coming soon (September 30)

The next segment discussed The Copper Age which changes tool and weapon progression in early gameplay. What was shown:

• New copper golems and powered rack devices with possible creative uses.
• Many changes that shift how players start the game (early-game progression).
• Release date announced: September 30 — so get ready to download and try it out.

Happy Ghast — the adorable little one

Chase the Skies, a previous release, introduced a cheerful ghast that remains a community favorite. Mojang aired a short video celebrating this character — complete with a catchy theme song. Warning: you might find yourself repeating the song unconsciously.

Tutorial segment — useful tips for all players

Minecraft can be confusing, especially for new players. In the tutorial segment, the team shared practical guides to make the playing experience smoother — from basic mechanics to building tricks. The key message: your way of playing is free — what matters is you enjoy the game.

Dragon Ball-Z DLC — an energy-powered collaboration

Announced a Dragon Ball-Z themed DLC releasing at the end of the year. Highlights:

• Players can use iconic moves like Kamehameha and Spirit Bomb.
• Super Saiyan hair items for character customization are already available for free download now.
• This DLC brings various DBZ elements — watch for upcoming announcements for more details.

Community stories — inspiration from real players

The event also featured three real stories about how Minecraft has impacted people around the world — proof of how creative and impactful the Minecraft community is. This segment serves as encouragement for players to keep creating and sharing.

Pre-community event — creative highlights and upcoming add-ons

The pre-event hosted by Aimsey and Shadoune showcased the latest community creations and a preview of the Minecraft Friendly Fishing Add-On. Mojang reiterated the community’s vital role: without them, Minecraft is just code — but thanks to the community, it’s alive.
