Lego is celebrating 15 years of Minecraft with six brand-new block-based sets featuring themes including Pirate Ship Voyage, Cherry Blossom Garden and Wolf Stronghold.
To mark the fifteenth anniversary of Minecraft, which was originally released in 2009, the Lego Group is unveiling six brand-new Lego Minecraft sets. Each block-based set has been designed for maximum play-action, storytelling and creative construction, inspired by Minecraft’s iconic biomes and characters.
The sets include the Pirate Ship Voyage, the Cherry Blossom Garden, the Wolf Stronghold, the Windmill Farm, the Badlands Mineshaft and the Ender Dragon and End Ship
The Pirate Ship Voyage is a versatile, hands-on pirate-figure adventure set that can be played with on its own or combined with other sets to create a bigger play experience. The set includes a buildable vehicle toy, plus a squid, two pirate figures and a special adult Lego Minecraft camel.
The Cherry Blossom Garden features nature, animals and zombies. Users can help Sunny tend the beautiful cherry blossom garden until a battle commences when the zombies try to take over. Players can also try find and dig out a rare seed from the garden using the adult sniffer and baby sniffer.
The Wolf Stronghold features a big wolf’s head above the entrance, which can be changed from friendly to angry depending on the mood. Inside the base is a crafting table, blast furnace, anvil and a smithing table.
The Windmill Farm boasts a functional Lego windmill, which can be operated by turning a wheel at the rear. As the mill’s sails rotate, the grindstone turns, as if grinding wheat into flour.
With the Badlands Mineshaft, users can explore the abandoned mine and use TNT to explode the stone to reveal copper, gold, redstone and amethyst crystals. The next adventure lies in getting treasures home safely, with battles against a Minecraft cave spider, Creeper, husk and a slime around every corner.
The Ender Dragon and End Ship allows users to enter the perilous End biome to battle against the Ender Dragon. Players must try to steal the prized dragon’s egg but watch out for the dragon’s sneaky attack, with movable and adjustable limbs. They can also seek safety in the End Ship, which has a fully equipped interior with a brewing stand and health potions.
For all the new Lego Minecraft sets, builders can have digital fun with the intuitive Lego Builder app, where users can zoom in, rotate models in 3D and track progress.
All six sets will be available from 1st June, 2024.
Alongside the fun-packed Lego Minecraft sets, the Lego Group sent Minecraft creators across the world a special package and mission to celebrate the occasion. Inside the package was a Lego Brickerite Ore, which is an exclusive Lego Minecraft block cube designed to help the creators reminisce over the past fifteen years of Minecraft. The creators were given instructions to mine the Lego Brickerite Ore cube with a Lego brick pickaxe, pair of goggles and gloves, and to start recreating one of their favourite memories from Minecraft with Lego Minecraft Bricks from Lego bricks.
