THE WORLD IS YOURS FOR THE MAKING

Dig deeper








DISCOVER MINECRAFT

Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. Blocks can be
used to reshape the world or build fantastical creations. Creatures can be
battled or befriended, depending on your playstyle. Experience epic adventures
solo or with friends, there’s no wrong way to play.
Unless you’re digging straight down.

Ask an allay to collect supplies to fill the chest on your boat!

Build a new home with mangrove wood!

Have a seat beneath the mangrove trees and take in the beauty of the great
outdoors!

Frogs and tadpoles are swimming in the Overworld’s swamps!

An entirely new biome lies at the bottom of the Overworld – will you venture
into the deep dark?

Evade the warden in the deep dark if you dare!






HOW IT WORKS


GATHER RESOURCES

Get crafty and use the surrounding environment to gather building materials—see
how breaking down trees can help you create something new.


SURVIVE THE NIGHT

It’s always best to avoid the unpredictable by distancing yourself from
wandering mobs—you never know what’ll happen if they get too close!


BUILD AMAZING THINGS

Discover all the versatile ways dust from the redstone ore can be used to
enhance your creations, bring them to life, or give them some bang.




PLAY WITH FRIENDS

Whether you’re surviving the night or building a work of art, you can do so in
the company of friends. A shared adventure can be a great experience! Play
together regardless of platform, as long as everyone is using the same version -
