In celebration of Minecraft’s 15th anniversary, Lego has launched a new diorama kit based on the Minecraft Crafting Table that players are sure to recognize. The kit is packed with references from the game, including customizable landscape scenes and a collection of new microfigures based on Minecraft characters, NPCs, and enemies. This $90 building kit is just one of numerous new Lego Minecraft sets that released August 1, which is a very big day for Lego. My Best Buy Plus members can save 10% on the new Minecraft Lego sets.
The Lego Minecraft Crafting Table is a 1,195-piece kit that, naturally, resembles the in-game crafting table, but with two open sides and a removable top that reveals an interior landscape diorama. The inner diorama includes 12 mini scenes based on the game’s many biomes, including overworld zones like the Plains, Forest, and Cherry Grove, and underground sections like Dripstone Cave, Deep Dark, and more. The model assembles into a cube that stands 5.5 inches tall, six inches wide, and six inches deep.
To fit with the set’s compact size, the Lego Minecraft Crafting Table comes with eight “microfigures,” which are even tinier versions of the iconic Lego minifigures. The eight microfigures for this set include the Minecraft mascots Steve and Alex, in-game monsters like the Creeper, skeleton, and witch, and friendly NPCs the villager, cow, and pig. There is also a selection of swappable display bricks featuring famous phrases from the game, like “Create New World,” “You Are The Player 1,” and the Minecraft logo that you can place on designated panels on the outside of the diorama. The official description also promises Easter Eggs and references hidden throughout the set, so this sounds like it’ll be a fun build for long-time fans of the game.
Multiple other notable Lego Minecraft sets just launched, too. The list includes The Ender Dragon and End Ship, The Badlands Mineshaft, The Windmill Farm, and more. Check out the full list below. We’ve included links to both Amazon and Best Buy.
