Lego Minecraft (stylized as LEGO Minecraft) is a Lego theme based on the sandbox video game Minecraft . The theme was first introduced in 2012. [3]
The earlier "Micro World" sets feature a group of four interlocking scenes that can be rearranged, with two having a removable surface with caves containing ores, underground rivers, and a Minecart track, it also includes characters (referred to by Lego as Micromobs) which can be moved around like normal Lego. [4]
The later sets feature brick-built locations with simple pieces (in order to remain faithful to Minecraft's blocky aesthetics), often on base plates raised by bricks, to allow for inter-connectivity with other sets. These sets are all of a minifigure scale, with custom moulds for the character heads, tools and certain body parts (for example the Creeper, which consists of primarily a single moulded piece for its torso and legs).
In October 2022, The Lego Group and Minecraft had launched a new Shuffle music project in YouTube. [5]
When asked about Lego Minecraft's beginnings, Mojang chief executive officer Carl Manneh stated that "it was one of the first things we talked about when we started Mojang." [6] Mojang started the project on the "Lego Ideas" program, which required ten thousand signatures for the project to be approved. With the strong support of the Minecraft community, the signature objective was achieved within 2 days, [7] and the development of the Lego Minecraft set commenced after Lego reviewed the project. The first Micro-World set was released on June 6, 2012. Portions of the sales proceeds went to a charity of Lego's choosing. [8] On July 17, 2013, it was announced that two additional Micro-World sets would be added to the Minecraft theme based on the "Nether" and "Village" areas of the game. [9] They were first shown at San Diego Comic-Con and released September 1, 2013. [9] The fourth and final Micro-World set exploring "The End" region was released in summer 2014. [10]
Minifigure sized Lego sets were then later announced in 2014. The prototypes of Creepers, mine carts, and sheep were all being developed as part of a Co-Build Project announced after MineCon, a fan convention. The initial group of 6 minifigure-scaled sets including the First Night, the Mine, the Ender Dragon, Crafting Box, the Farm and the Cave were released from November to December 2014. [11] As of now, there are 43 Minifig-Scale that have been released with more on the way.
In 2019, Lego introduced Minecraft Bigfigs which are Big brick built figures based on Minecraft mobs similar to Lego Construction figures like Bionicle, Knights Kingdom II, etc. So far there have been five Bigfigs released consisting of Bigfig Steve with Parrot, Bigfig Alex with Chicken, Bigfig Skeleton with Magma Cube, Bigfig Creeper and Ocelot, and Bigfig Pig with Baby Zombie, with a Series 3 unlikely to be released.
Following the released of Minecraft Micro World (set number: 21102) for Lego Cuusoo in 2012. [12] Lego Minecraft theme revealed at the Comic-Con International in San Diego and was launched in September 2013. As part of the marketing campaign, The Lego Group released the two sets based on the sandbox video game Minecraft . [13]
