Summary
- One Minecraft fan discovered a potential link between the upcoming movie and the Minecraft Legends game.
- One lower resolution shot appears to show a hunched over figure with purple eyes, which resembles The Seer from Minecraft Legends.
- While Minecraft Legends faced challenges leading to its end, the live-action movie may feature Easter eggs celebrating the entire franchise.
A Minecraft fan has spotted an easy-to-miss detail in the new A Minecraft Movie trailer that seemingly links it to the real-time action-strategy title Minecraft Legends. The Minecraft movie is a live-action adaptation of Mojang’s popular sandbox game of the same name, and the community’s reception to the Jack Black-led feature has been anything but positive, with criticism targeting the project’s childish tone.
Minecraft was released over 10 years ago, and it became the best-selling video game of all time where players can explore, build, and survive in the blocky expanse. The sandbox’s content and active player count continue to grow with no signs of slowing down, and the community is looking forward to Minecraft’s next big update, which may feature a volcanic biome or advanced melee combat.

A Minecraft fan shows off their dedication with a short fan trailer for their own world, showing off over 12 years of gameplay.
Posted by CiccioChad08 on Reddit, a low-resolution screenshot from the Minecraft movie trailer was shared with the community that seems to feature a character from Minecraft Legends. The image showed a hunched, blocky character with purple eyes holding a staff, and the Redditor believed this was The Seer from the 2023 game. This Easter egg joins several hidden details in the Minecraft trailer, and fans agreed the resemblance to The Seer was spot on. Additionally, the character’s alleged appearance in the adaptation prompted a debate about what game the movie is based on. Most concluded that the film adaptation was based on the Minecraft franchise as a whole instead of the base game, which would also include the 2020 dungeon crawler Minecraft Dungeons.
Minecraft Fan Spots Potential Minecraft Legends Detail in the Movie Trailer
Some Redditors weren’t sure who The Seer was in Minecraft lore, and they’d be forgiven since Minecraft Legends’ development ended nine months after its release. The Seer was an elderly Piglin who possessed the Orb of Dominance to summon the Great Hog and appeared in several cutscenes, but fans’ recollection of Minecraft Legends is likely a bit hazy after its short-lived longevity. After a bout of negative reviews and refunds, Mojang decided to cease content updates, which in turn, drove most of the player base to abandon the game entirely.
There are a few reasons why Minecraft Legends couldn’t reach its potential, which inevitably led to the game’s demise. However, Jared Hess’ live-action feature seems to be a celebration of the entire Minecraft franchise to date, which may include further Minecraft Legends’ Easter eggs to accompany The Seer. Actors Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers, and more are tasked with bringing this beloved world onto the silver screen, and fans will hopefully have a good time with the feature regardless of its direction.

WHERE TO PLAY
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!
