LEGO Minecraft



LEGO Minecraft is a LEGO set based on Minecraft released June 1, 2012. Currently, there is only one set available, named "Micro World", which centers around the Player (Steve) and one of the game's antagonists, a Creeper. Mojang had started a project on the LEGO CUUSOO program, which requires 10,000 signatures for a project to be approved. With the strong support of the Minecraft community, the 10,000 signature objective was achieved in three days, and the development of the LEGO Minecraft set commenced after Lego reviewed the project. Mojang will donate 1% of the proceeds to charity.

One LEGO brick is represented as a 1x1 plate with a tile on top. LEGO states that this is not a perfect cube, but it is "the best approximation at the chosen scale." The surface of the four modules comes off to reveal mines and water beneath. Builders can build their own landscapes, stack cubes on top of each other, and freely build on the world. Each module is 12x12, and the sets may come with several of these modules.

The set includes two basic biomes, forest and grassland. It also includes a miniature lava stream coming from a hill. Since this is the only Minecraft LEGO set so far, there is not a Minecraft LEGO theme. Whether there is going to be one is unknown yet, and it depends on whether or not more sets are made.

Set Information
The first set titled "Micro World" is available now via websites Jinx and Lego.com.

Trivia

 * The set was released on Markus Persson's birthday.
 * The first page of the building instructions features a paragraph of text explaining what Minecraft is. This paragraph is a verbatim copy of the "About Minecraft" section on the wiki's Main Page.
 * The set appears to be one of the only Minecraft based sets that will ever be available, as no second set has been released a good while after the first release.
