Now, these two block-related brands have come together in the form of Minecraft Lego sets. Admittedly, these sets are not as big as other brands that received the Lego treatment as far as size or piece count, but Minecraft Lego sets still provide snapshots into the world of the block-building video game. With these sets being the size that they are, they may be a little more affordable than other Lego sets. Here are some of the best the collection has to offer.
Updated on August 6, 2022, by Stephen LaGioia: The Lego-Minecraft crossover is a match made in heaven, with their similarly blocky structure and their colorful, imaginative kid-friendly themes. It’s probably no surprise, then, that there exist so many Lego sets on the market featuring Minecraft-themed structures or settings.
And with so many popular ones—with more continuing to be released like the Abandoned Village from August 2022—we decided to revisit and build upon this list of the best Minecraft Lego sets.
15 The First Adventure
Both the name and motifs of this 542-piece set invite and invoke that sense of adventure Minecraft is known for. The three-level structure is a nice encapsulation of the game’s elements, featuring the iconic Steve and Alex character, a couple of skeletons, and a few animal friends.
14 The Creeper Mine
The pesky, ominous mob known as the Creeper is perhaps the most iconic symbol in Minecraft. So it makes sense that there would be a fan-favorite Lego set prominently featuring the blocky green guy. The highlight of the set is, of course, a statue of the explosive Creeper himself—though there are some other fun details sprinkled in.
13 Skeleton Dungeon
A recent release as of this writing, this reworking of a 2014 set was announced at Lego Con 2022 to much intrigue and has fast become a standout amongst Minecraft Legos. This fun dungeon-themed set does a lot with a (relative) little, with 364 pieces that of course include a few weapon-wielding, helmet-wearing skeletons.

This small, but packed setting brings a fun sense of atmosphere with its lush cave and dungeon elements, with a smattering of greenery. Users can collapse a little ceiling of blocks Indiana Jones style. One of the biggest highlights is the skeleton Spawner in the center. It holds an orange piece and tiny skelly that can be rotated to emulate the flame and spinning foes inside. Finally, the wall in the corner can be spun to reveal a spooky skeleton. This delightful dungeon can be bought on Lego’s website for$34.99.
12 The Fortress
This Minecraft stronghold is fittingly robust and elaborate, featuring a whopping 984 pieces. While there are few interactive, playable pieces, there are plenty of finer details scattered about which are fun to behold. These include a chest carrying weapons, an animal pen with a horse and sheep, and a small crafting table in one of the towers.
11 The Bee Farm
Minecraft introduced bees in 2019’s Buzzy Bees update. Bees are mainly passive mobs but can become aggressive if provoked. In the Buzzy Bee update, the game added other bee-related things like beehives and honeycombs.
10 The Blaze Bridge
Blazes are an aggressive mob found in the Nether, mainly at Nether fortresses. They are an essential part of the game, given that they drop blaze rods when killed. These items are then used to make brewing stands for potions.

9 The Warped Forest
The Warped Forest is a biome found in the Nether Update in Minecraft and is recognizable by its bluish colors. This biome’s Lego set features a Huntress and Piglin minifigures, as well as a Hoglin.
Similar to the biome in the video game, the Warped Forest set comes with blue warped fungus and shroomlight blocks that grow within the biome.
8 The Sky Tower
The Sky Tower Lego set includes phantoms, and flying mobs in Minecraft. The use of clear Lego pieces in this set gives the phantoms the effect of flying, giving it an animated element that makes it feel almost magical. While simple in a sense, this one is one of the best Minecraft Lego sets when it comes to inventiveness.

7 The Crafting Box 3.0
The Crafting Box 3.0 Lego set promotes a lot of creative freedom right on the box itself. The front and back of the box display four different ways that the suggested castle and farm build can be constructed, so users have a ton of options.
6 The Crafting Box 2.0
The Crafting Box 2.0 Lego set may sound like an outdated version of The Crafting Box 3.0 set, but comparing the two seems to reveal that The Crafting Box 2.0 has a little more to offer than the 3.0.

5 The Ruined Portal
The Ruined Portal Lego set is a showcase of a ruined Nether portal from Minecraft’s Nether update. The set shows what both sides of a Nether portal look like: the Overworld and the Nether.
On the Overworld side of the set, there is a purple sheep and Steve minifigure wearing Netherite armor that can either wield a diamond pickaxe or a Netherite sword.
4 The Modern Treehouse
The Modern Treehouse Lego set is a culmination of the creative and building imagination of Minecraft and Legos. While The Modern Treehouse does have a structure and instructions to build it, there is still the idea that the treehouse itself was built from a person’s mind either in the game or with the Legos. Therefore, it could look different in the hands of different builders.

3 The Ocean Monument
2014’s Bountiful update introduced ocean monuments to Minecraft. These structures are made up of unique prismarine blocks. Mobs of guardians and elder guardians live in and around these ocean monuments.
2 The Mine
The Mine Lego set features some interactive pieces that replicate game mechanics and features in Minecraft. For example, there is a button that, when pushed, shoots TNT and other blocks outward as if they exploded. Also, the minecarts slide down the rails as they do in the game.
1 The Mountain Cave
This is it—the towering behemoth amongst a vast lineup of Minecraft Lego sets. This monstrosity really has it all—iconic figures (including Steve, skeletons, and an ominous Enderman), a long minecart track, various props, and environmental elements, and plenty of moving pieces to tinker with. The elements are very intricate within and outside this structure—with ample nooks and crannies holding all sorts of cool bits from mushrooms to Spawners.
Minecraft is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and many other platforms.
