Lego Minecraft (stylized as LEGO Minecraft) is a Lego theme based on the sandbox game Minecraft. The theme was first introduced in 2012.[2]
Overview
The earlier "Micro World" sets feature a group of four interlocking scenes that can be rearranged, with two having a removable surface with caves containing ores, underground rivers, and a Minecart track, it also includes characters (referred to by Lego as Micromobs) which can be moved around like normal Lego.[3]
The later sets feature brick-built locations with simple pieces (in order to remain faithful to Minecraft's blocky aesthetics), often on base plates raised by bricks, to allow for inter-connectivity with other sets. These sets are all of a minifigure scale, with custom molds for the character heads, tools and certain body parts (for example the Creeper, which consists of primarily a single molded piece for its torso and legs).
