Mini games

Mini Games are a variety of modes exclusive to the Legacy Console Edition of Minecraft, first added in update TU36, CU25, 1.28, and Patch 7. Mini Games can be played solo, splitscreen on the same console, online, or with another console locally via an ad-hoc connection. The three Mini Games currently available on all versions of Legacy Console Edition are Battle, Glide, and Tumble. does not contain Mini Games.

Prior to each round, all players can freely explore a lobby and interact with various items, such as bows, fishing rods, armor, heads, Elytra, and Music Discs. Any player that wears one of the five heads in the lobby will retain that head into the next round.

Battle
Battle is most similar to the popular "Hunger Games" mode on servers. However, Battle gameplay differs from the standard "Hunger Games" in a variety of ways, such as
 * A fifteen second grace period
 * Refilling chests
 * The ability to remove all items from a chest at once
 * Armor is automatically equipped when acquired (stronger armor is prioritized)
 * Players can heal and sprint so long as they are not starving
 * A red outline surrounds the crosshair, indicating where damage was received from
 * TNT is ignited upon placement
 * "Showdown" begins after an extensive amount of time has passed, where name tags for remaining players become visible and a countdown clock begins
 * Following the completion of a round, a leaderboard is displayed, which includes the number of kills by each player and other statistics.

Up to 16 players can join a single game on Xbox One Edition and PlayStation 4 Edition, 8 players on Xbox 360 Edition, PlayStation 3 Edition, Wii U Edition, and Nintendo Switch Edition, and 4 players on PlayStation Vita Edition. A "Casual" or "Competitive" option can be chosen when creating a lobby, which can either allow or restrict the use of smaller-sized skins and can change the appearance of spectators. Spectators cannot pass through blocks, but can fly through one block tall spaces. As of TU60 and equivalent updates, the totem of undying can be found in a map's center chests, commonly in the High Power mode, occasionally in the Food Central mode, and never in the Decayed mode.

Custom Battle is an option that allows a player to change various aspects of Battle, such as:
 * Random Chest Loot
 * Normal – A standard, balanced set of items.
 * Decayed – Armor and weapons have low durability and the chance of more powerful loot is reduced.
 * No Armor – No armor appears in chests.
 * High Power – Armor and weapons are at least iron, with diamond equipment and enchanted equipment appearing significantly more often. Food also becomes exclusively rabbit stew and cooked mutton.
 * Food Central – Only chests at the center of the map have food.
 * Hunger and Regeneration
 * Normal – The standard hunger settings.
 * Anti-Camping – Hunger is lost even when standing still.
 * Always Healing – Players constantly regenerate health, but cannot sprint if low on hunger.
 * No Hunger – The hunger bar isn’t used at all, making it impossible for players to starve.
 * No Starving – Players never take damage if starving.
 * Fast Healing – Players heal faster than usual.
 * Lead Feet – Sprinting, jumping and swimming cause more rapid hunger depletion.
 * Always Hungry – Every action causes much more exhaustion than usual.
 * Spectating
 * Bat – Default appearance for spectators in a Casual match.
 * Parrot – Spectators appear as various parrots.
 * Vex – Spectators appear as a Vex.
 * Player Head – Spectators appear as a translucent version of their head.
 * Invisible – Default appearance for spectators in a Competitive match.
 * Misc. Settings
 * Random Spawn – When enabled, players spawn at various locations around the map.
 * Take Everything – When enabled, players can empty a chest in one go.
 * Small Inventory – When enabled, only the hotbar, armor, and offhand inventory slots are available.

Loot
All loot in Battle Mini Game is obtained from chests or other players. Center chests at the beginning of a round may contain high concentrations of valuable loot, such as armor, weapons, food, and potions. Other chests in the map may also contain smaller amounts of valuable loot.

The following appear more often in the High Power custom mode.

A chest in the Halloween-themed map will always contain the following items, regardless of the mode being used.

Maps
Since TU49, there are 21 maps in Battle Mini Game. Each map comes with its own themed builds and music, often based on the texture pack used. (Note: You cannot change the texture pack or music you are using when playing Battle Mode). Players can play only on the first three maps mentioned unless they buy the Season Pass or other respective Battle Map Packs.

As of 1.90, maps with the default texture pack were replaced with the newer Minecraft Classic texture pack.

Tumble
Added in the August 30, 2016 update, Tumble is more or less an official variation of the popular user-generated game "Spleef".

Much like Spleef, the object of the game is to be knock blocks out from under the other players while standing the player's own ground. The last person standing on the platform is the winner and the game cycles to the next round. In one mode of Tumble, players stand on a single, massive platform and attempt to destroy their opponents' footing with an iron shovel. In the other mode, there are three tiers of platforms that players must dig out from each other using snowballs.

Unlike traditional Spleef, the player must win three rounds to be sent back to the lobby to start the next round. Also, all blocks can be broken with one hit of a shovel (much like when in creative mode) or snowball – the sole exception being TNT blocks, which act as both pitfalls for unaware players as well as time-bombs that can be used to destroy the ground lower platforms (in snowballs mode).

Sixteen player multiplayer is not available for this game mode.

As of TU60, the custom setting allows the Standard defense, as well as fireworks and levitation potions.

Events
There are certain events that this mini game has. There are a total of two known ones that can be found. The first one was in Halloween where the maps would have their own distinctive layers and the Halloween 2015 Mash-up Texture pack was also used. This last one is available only for the Xbox 360, as this marked the 6th birthday for Xbox 360 Edition. It used the Cartoon texture pack and nothing else changed either.
