In 2019, models like 21148 Minecraft Steve BigFig with Parrot allowed us to recreate Minecraft characters at a much larger scale than before. Creations such as 21138 The Melon farm offered much smaller, cheaper vignettes than what was previously available. A direct successor – 21135 The Crafting Box 2.0 – would offer similar potential for Minecraft fans in 2017.īy 2018, LEGO Minecraft had started to explore new approaches to set design. 21116 Crafting Box was an early release debuting in 2014, it offered many different pieces to build freely with. The range also continued to facilitate more open-ended construction with the debut of the Crafting Box series. Particularly interesting builds included 21127 The Fortress, which allowed for easy reconfiguration of its castle model. The success of Minecraft allowed prices and part counts to mushroom (and actual mushrooms to appear in the range). The range quickly expanded to depict other areas of Minecraft’s universe – hot and cold biomes made their first appearance, as did the deadly, lava-filled Nether. Early examples included mines, caves, farmland and even the End, a mysterious dimension that hosts the Ender Dragon. Minifigure-scale sets debuted in 2014, depicting familiar scenes for anyone who has played the game. This microscale creation was soon joined by others in a proper Minecraft range, which recreated the various biomes and realms of the Minecraft universe. It was an early release in the LEGO Ideas – then CUUSOO – theme, which turns fan-made models into official LEGO builds. However, it didn’t warrant its own theme at this time. The first Minecraft LEGO set appeared in 2012, one year after the wide release of the game itself. Certain schools have used Minecraft for educational purposes, while the Danish Geodata Agency has recreated the entire country of Denmark – to scale – in Minecraft form. It has also found an audience outside conventional gaming circles. It appeals to multiple age groups (though perhaps young fans most of all) and it allows us to create detailed structures and complex mechanisms with relative ease. Minecraft has much in common with LEGO itself. Today it is the best-selling video game of all time – over 238 million copies have been sold globally. It was released properly in 2011 on PC, with console ports swiftly following in 2012 and the years after. Minecraft is an open-world sandbox game, created by Markus Persson and developed by Mojang Studios. Visit to see Minecraft’s current LEGO selection, which offers brick-built biomes, mobs and more.
