A free DLC inspired by the upcoming Minecraft Movie has just launched on the Minecraft Marketplace. Players can now immerse themselves in an arcade setting where they'll compete in three action-packed mini-games alongside characters from the film, which hits theaters on April 4, 2025.
Experience Movie Magic in Three Competitive Mini-Games
The A Minecraft Movie DLC transports players to a retro arcade environment where they can hang out with the film's characters and test their skills in mini-games based on iconic scenes from the upcoming movie. Best of all, this DLC pack is completely free for all players across platforms.
In this nostalgic arcade setting, players can challenge movie characters like Steve, Dawn, Henry, Natalie, and Garrett—or invite friends to join the competition. Each mini-game offers leaderboards to track high scores, and persistent players who beat all the records will earn a special trophy for their achievement.
What Mini-Games Are Included?
The DLC features three distinct mini-games that showcase different gameplay elements from the Minecraft universe:
Elytra Race: High-Speed Aerial Challenges
Strap on a pair of elytra wings and soar through obstacle courses in this high-adrenaline racing game. Players will dodge hazards while collecting power-ups to gain advantages over their competitors. Think you can beat Garrett's world record? There's only one way to find out!
First Night Survival: Withstand the Mob Onslaught
This isn't your typical first night in the Overworld. Players must survive increasingly difficult waves of hostile mobs in this intense survival challenge. Armed with various weapons, you'll need to defeat zombies, skeletons, and other creatures to achieve the highest possible score.
Mansion Stealth: Sneak Past the Dangers
Test your stealth skills in this tense infiltration challenge set in a woodland mansion. Players must collect Earth crystals while avoiding detection by Evokers, Vindicators, and Endermen that patrol the corridors. Quick reflexes and careful planning are essential to reaching the top of the leaderboard.
Movie Tie-In: Building Excitement for the Theatrical Release
This DLC serves as an interactive promotion for "A Minecraft Movie," which debuts in theaters on April 4, 2025. The mini-games offer players a taste of the adventure that awaits in the film while providing a fresh gameplay experience within the Minecraft universe.
By featuring the movie's characters and recreating iconic scenes as playable mini-games, the DLC creates a bridge between the game and its upcoming cinematic adaptation. Players can familiarize themselves with the film's characters and settings before seeing the full story on the big screen.
How to Access the DLC
The A Minecraft Movie DLC is available now for free on the Minecraft Marketplace. Players on all supported platforms—including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC, iOS, Android, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch—can download the content directly through the in-game marketplace.
Put on your virtual fingerless gloves, dust off that leather jacket, and jump into this arcade-themed adventure today to see if you have what it takes to top the leaderboards and earn that coveted trophy!
