Mojang has outlined the rest of Minecraft’s 2025 content roadmap during this year’s Minecraft Live event, confirming a major update, a holiday game drop, and fresh Marketplace content. The announcements highlight Mojang’s continued focus on player-driven updates and cross-partnership add-ons.
The Copper Age Arrives September 30, 2025
The highly anticipated Copper Age update now has a firm release date: September 30, 2025.
Key features include:

- Systems and mechanics already tested in Snapshots and Previews will become available to all players in the main release.
Mounts of Mayhem Game Drop (Holiday 2025)
Arriving as the fourth major game drop of the year, Mounts of Mayhem is scheduled for the 2025 holiday season. It brings a set of bold additions:
- The nautilus as a fully rideable underwater mount.
- A spear weapon that scales its damage based on player speed.
- The long-awaited zombie horse in Survival mode.
Mojang noted that aspects of this drop may be refined further based on community feedback.
