This year's MineCon Earth livestream is set to air in just a few weeks, which will celebrate the best of Minecraft, while also looking ahead towards its future. But part of its future is now set to be determined by the MineCon Earth viewer.

Those who tune in to the MineCon Earth livestream will get a chance to vote on which biome the folks at Mojang will focus on updating next. Minecraft contains a multitude of biomes, so there's a chance the choices will go beyond the examples (Taiga, Savanna, Desert) shown. Last year's MineCon Earth featured a first look at The Update Aquatic, which focused on the game's oceans and water physics.

MineCon Earth is set to air its livestream on Saturday, September 29. For more information, visit the MineCon website.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
