The audience of Minecon 2015 in London have become Guiness World record holders today, as they form the largest convention in history for a single video game.
73 countries were represented in the 10,000-strong audience of the convention, now in its fourth year, with some travelling from as far away as New Zealand.
A Guinness World Records representative was present at the opening ceremony to give the award to Mojang brand director, Lydia Winters.
The representative said: “The record you have received is for the largest convention for a single video game – that’s Minecon 2015: 10,000 tickets sold.
“All that’s left for me to say is that Minecon, you are officially amazing.”
A United Nations representative was also present for a presentation, detailing how a UN programme ‘Block by Block‘ uses Minecraft to teach children in developing countries about civic design.
