Summary

  • A fan recreated the world from A Minecraft Movie in-game.
  • Fans appreciated the in-game creation, generating theories about the upcoming film.

A dedicated Minecraft player recreated the world from the recent trailer for the film adaptation in perfectly accurate detail, showing what the movie might look like if it existed as a playable world. The creation garnered thousands of views from fans online and demonstrated some of the issues many fans have with the way the Minecraft world looks in the upcoming movie.

When A Minecraft Movie debuted its first trailer recently, fans got an early look at the way the world and various other elements will look in the upcoming film, including Jack Black as the game's main character, Steve. The designs of many of the things shown in the trailer proved to be controversial among fans, as many said the world did not look like something that would exist in Minecraft.

Nevertheless, Reddit user ThaMango took it upon themselves to recreate the world from the movie's trailer, sharing a screenshot of the handcrafted landscape to the official Minecraft subreddit for fans to see. The image in the post shows the massive stone archway seen in the trailer for A Minecraft Movie, along with various structures and what appears to be a village resting underneath it.

Fans in the comments took the opportunity to mention how the user's creation highlighted the issues with the world's design in the trailer, stating that structures such as the giant stone archway don't really exist in Minecraft. Additionally, many pointed out that the use of "mixels," or pixel art that uses multiple different sizes of pixels, is another major fault of the film's aesthetic, and that the user's in-game version looks better as a result.

Despite the fact that structures like the massive stone arch cannot spawn naturally in the game, many fans said that they wished they could, since it would be fun to explore and could make for interesting build ideas. Others came up with their own theories from things shown in the trailer for A Minecraft Movie to explain that Steve could have created the archway and the buildings around it himself, though whether this turns out to be true remains to be seen.

Of course, this is not the only movie-themed creation fans have made, as another player imagined what Jack Black's Steve might look like in Minecraft as an actual in-game character. In any case, the fan's creation appears to be very accurate to the trailer, and provides a unique way to explore the world of A Minecraft Movie before the film releases in 2025.

Minecraft is a game made up of blocks, creatures, and community. You can survive the night or build a work of art – the choice is all yours. But if the thought of exploring a vast new world all on your own feels overwhelming, then fear not!

Minecraft has no set goal and can be played however you’d like! This is why it’s sometimes called a “sandbox game” – there are lots of things for you to do, and lots of ways that you can play. If you like being creative, then you can use the blocks to build things from your imagination. If you’re feeling brave, you can explore the world and face daring challenges. Blocks can be broken, crafted, placed to reshape the landscape, or used to build fantastical creations. 

Creatures can be battled or befriended, depending on how you play. The world of Minecraft allows for epic adventures, quiet meditations, and everything in between. You can even share your creations with other players, or play in community worlds!
