Development

On October 8, 2014, Vu Bui stated that the movie was in "its early days of development", saying that it was a "large-budget production". He also stated that it might not be released until 2018.[3]

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]
