Minecraft got its start as an indie video game released in 2009. Since its launch, the game has soared in popularity, defining the genres of survival crafting and creative construction. The game has had regular updates since its launch, including the separate Bedrock version following Microsoft’s purchase of Mojang Studios.
The new Minecraft LEGO sets are all designed for kids ages 8 and up and will launch June 1 at the LEGO online store as well as select retailers.
