Minecraft Dungeons:Squid Coast

"Since this is the first level, we wanted to show what the effects are on a peaceful area and show the player what could happen to the world unless they do something."

The Squid Coast is the first location in Minecraft Dungeons. It is the tutorial area of the game, introducing the player to the mechanics of Minecraft Dungeons.
