MineCon 2015 has been presented with the Guinness World Records title for the largest convention for a single video-game.
Lydia Winters, brand director at Mojang, received the Guinness World Records title and accepted the official certificate at the opening ceremony.
Stephen Daultrey, editor of Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition, said: “For a multi-genre games convention to attract 10,000 fans is a big enough feat in itself. But for a convention dedicated to a single video-game to get that number is nothing short of astonishing. This record is testament to the incredible fandom around Minecraft and the game’s ability to unlock the imaginations of millions of gamers around the world.”
The first MineCon held in 2011 attracted just 200 people.
Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2016 will be available on September 10, 2015, priced £9.99.
