The beauty of Minecraft is that you can create whatever you want. The only real limit is your imagination. So, combining Minecraft, the OG build-your-own world game, with LEGO bricks just makes sense. LEGO® Minecraft™ sets let you build your in-game creations in real life.
There are loads of LEGO sets you can get creative with, including The Ruined Portal to the fiery Nether, a cute-as-a-button Pig House, The Bee House, and a Ruined Portal. The possibilities of what you can create with all those sets are endless. So, whether you’re building them yourself or giving them as gifts to the budding young builder in your life, we’ve found some of the very best creations to inspire you.
Here are five of the best LEGO Minecraft creations of all time.
#5 THE MOUNTAIN CAVE
Bats, spiders, slime, and an enderman lurk in the shadows of The Mountain Cave set, and a working minecart on rails takes your character hurtling past all the dangers.
This speed build by Brick Builder shows it coming together and gives you a tantalising sneak peek at all the details tucked away in the set. There’s a redstone-powered minecart elevator, a charged Creeper ready to explode, seven different ores you can mine, and TNT that you can blast to customise your track.

#4 THE JUNGLE ABOMINATION
This fearsome beast made of logs, vines, and stone towers above the jungle explorer and archaeologist, who also have to face an enchanted Creeper and a skeleton to make it out of this set in one piece.
This build by @lucasminibuilder takes special care to show off the flower growing out of the Jungle Abomination’s chest, which is a nice touch, and it’s a great example of the thrilling action scenes you can create in LEGO Minecraft. The poor explorers have their work cut out for them.

#3 NIGHT OF THE NETHER
A brickfilm is a stop-motion animation using LEGO figures, and of course there are LEGO Minecraft brickfilms now. One of the best is Night of the Nether, a 14-minute adventure (and only part one of the story) made by The Action Brick that sees Steve set out on a dangerous journey to the Nether to save his village.
The sets are beautifully made, the animation is gorgeous, the voice acting is fantastic, and it’s also just very funny. Watch Steve’s sheepish head turn when his “bow and arrow with a rope attached to it” fails spectacularly.

#2 UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS
The beauty of LEGO design and Minecraft’s minimalist, blocky aesthetic looks amazing in this nighttime scene by @quberick. A poor explorer — thankfully protected by a Netherite helmet — is running as fast as he can while being swooped by dark creatures.
The builder has digitally added a starry night sky to their creation, and the bright beams of light coming off a nearby lamp guide the explorer’s way. Your LEGO Minecraft creations don’t have to stop at building the sets: you can add finishing touches like a full moon, flames, or splashing water digitally to make your work stand out.

#1 A MINECRAFT WORLD
What does it look like when every LEGO Minecraft set is combined? Beyond the Brick showed off this incredible creation, made by a young builder named Kaedin Evans, that carefully combines each set to create an entire world. Just like in the game, this creation is made up of several biomes, including a grass overworld, a jungle, a rushing waterfall, the mushroom island, a snowy mountain range, and the fearsome Nether. There’s even an area watched over by a ferocious Ender Dragon.
As if that wasn’t big enough, Kaedin’s added to his build since he first showed it off, and it’s now truly massive.
It’s a beautiful creation that shows just how customisable the LEGO Minecraft sets are. This really is a Minecraft world built in real life.
