History
A Lego Minecraft set themed around a snowy setting. set 21120-1 The Snow Hideout.

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.[1]

The later sets feature brick-built locations with primitive brick types (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).

Development

Microworlds

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."[2] Mojang started the project on the Lego CUUSOO 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,[3] 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.[4] 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.[5] They were first shown at San Diego Comic-Con and released September 1, 2013.[5] The fourth and final Micro-World set exploring "The End" region was released in summer 2014.[6]

Minifigures

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 minifigre-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.[7] As of now there are 43 Minifig-Scale that have been released with more on the way.

Bigfigs

In 2019 Lego introduced Minecraft Bigfigs which are Big brick built figures based on Minecraft mobs similar to Lego Constraction figures like Bionicle, Knights Kingdom II, etc. So far there have been 3 Bigfigs released consisting of Bigfig Steve with Parrot, Bigfig Alex with Chicken, and Bigfig Skeleton with Magma Cube with a Series 2 to be released in 2020.[8]

Reception

Mashable listed the first Lego Minecraft set as a creative gift for the 2012 Christmas season.[9] Forbes magazine noted in December 2012 that the original set was sold out due to its great popularity.[10]

gollark: This is PHP, there's so much indirection that CPU caches are probably the least of your worries.
gollark: You know what they say, release bees into the mainframe.
gollark: Hmm, diffing is complexicated™.
gollark: I personally just have my code directly run SQL queries, which is cool and good.
gollark: Maybe there's some sort of optimization occuring.
