LEGO Minecraft
LEGO Minecraft is a licensed LEGO theme of sets based on Minecraft. Currently, 47 sets have been released.
One Minecraft block is represented as a 2×2 brick with a tile on top. LEGO states that this is not a perfect cube, but it is "the best approximation at the chosen scale." There are two types of sets - the "Micro World" sets and the normal LEGO scale sets. The "Micro World" sets contain modules which are 12×12, and may come with several of these modules. Since then the "Micro World" Sets have been discontinued.

Set information[edit]
The Micro World set centers around the player (Steve) and one of the game's antagonists, a creeper. The scene is depicted in the Overworld and depicts a few biomes, including a mountain, caves, forest and plains. The Village features structures in the village, and an mineshaft. It includes blocks for constructing houses, along with the Pig, Villager, and Zombie figures. The Nether is a stylised depiction of the Nether, and contains a lava sea, a lava stream flowing down a hill, nether fortress, and a Nether Portal to connect to the Overworld. It also includes two Ghasts and a Zombie Pigman. The End is a stylised depiction of the End, and contains the Ender Dragon, six obsidian pillars with ender crystals on top of them, an exit end portal and endermen.
The "Micro World" sets can be purchased through the websites Jinx and Lego.com.[1]

History[edit]
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,[6] and the development of the LEGO Minecraft set commenced after Lego reviewed the project. Mojang will donate 1% of the proceeds to charity.[6] The first set was subsequently released June 1, 2012.[7]
The second set The Village and the third The Nether were announced at Comic-Con 2013.[3] The fourth set "The End" was announced through a teaser on 8 March[8] followed by a reveal on 14 March on the LEGO Minecraft Facebook page.[9]
On the 2nd November 2013, during Minecon, it was announced that The Lego Group would be creating a fully fledged mini-figure scale theme. It is the first time Lego will be working with fans to create the new series of sets, they call this the co-build project.
Six more sets were released on 15 November, 2014. These were the first sets that did not follow the "Micro World" design of the previous sets. Another four sets were unveiled at the 2015 London Toy Fair.[4] These sets are expected to be released in August 2015.
Trivia[edit]
- The first 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.
- Also, in the illustration in the first page Herobrine is present.
- The Minecraft set introduced new kind of figure, called micromob which only available on first four sets and exclusive to their own set, later set have normal minifigure like other LEGO set.
- The Box for the first four set is styled after a different Building Block: "Micro World" resembles a Grass Block, "The Village" resembles Oak Planks, "The Nether" resembles lava and "The End" resembles Obsidian.
- Popular on-line Minecraft streamer "CaptainSparklez" voiced two of the commercials advertising LEGO Minecraft.[10]
