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.[4]
On July 21, 2015, Vu Bui announced that Rob McElhenney would serve as the director of the film, ultimately replacing former director, Shawn Levy.[5] Levy was originally going to direct the film, but parted ways with the project because the studio "didn't dig the idea."[6]
