On July 4, 2015, during the Minecraft: Story Mode panel at Minecon, it was confirmed that Mojang was still working with Warner Bros. on the movie.

On July 21, 2015, Vu Bui announced that Rob McElhenney would serve as the director of the film, ultimately replacing former director, Shawn Levy. Levy was originally going to direct the film, but parted ways with the project because the studio "didn't dig the idea."
