Minecon is a yearly get-together for people that play Minecraft, the popular block-building game.

Minecraft say they want to make it easier for more of the gaming community to take part in Minecon.

So, on November 18, 2017, they're hosting it online for people to watch live from wherever they are in the world.

The event will last for about 90 minutes.

Fans who usually dress up for the show will still be able to get involved and send in their creations.
