Summary
While LEGO video games have been around for almost three decades now, and LEGO sets based on popular movies and licensed IP have been around for almost just as long, it took a little longer for LEGO to combine the world of video games with its ever-popular construction toys. But that all changed in 2011 when Mojang itself submitted a LEGO xMinecraftdesign to the LEGO Ideas program. In 2012, the first LEGOMinecraftset was released, depicting a “Micro World” version of the game’s Forest biome.
This simple set pushed open the floodgates, with three more Micro WorldMinecraftLEGO sets releasing within the next two years, and this in turn paving the way for an extendedLEGO xMinecraftcollaboration. Beginning in November 2014, LEGO started to produce a range of playsets based onMinecraft’s various biomes, characters, creatures, and structures, a range that’s still going to this day. It’s been over a decade since LEGO first released aMinecraftset, and it’s been 15 years sinceMinecraftfirst came out, and that’s cause for some celebration. At least LEGO seems to think so, as it’s about to release a pretty stunning new LEGOMinecraftset to celebrate the franchise’s 15th anniversary.
Minecraft’s 15th Anniversary LEGO Set Explained
Set for release on June 15, 2025,the LEGOMinecraftCrafting Table setis being released specifically to celebrate the game’s 15th anniversary, and there’s no better way to do that than by producing a set based on one of the game’s most iconic items. Coming in at an impressive 1195 pieces—which is pretty great for the $79.99 price tag—this LEGOMinecraftCrafting Table celebrates the game’s long history by distilling 12 biomes into one compact set.
From the forest to the desert to the taiga to the cherry grove, fans will be able to build micro representations of just about every iconic biomeMinecrafthas ever offered. Fans will also be able to build eight separate microfigures of belovedMinecraftmobs and charactersranging from Steve and Alex to skeletons, Creepers, a witch, and animals like the cow and pig, all of whom can be placed almost anywhere in the model. What’s particularly interesting about this LEGOMinecraftCrafting Table set is that it marks the first adult-oriented set in the range since its debut over a decade ago, with its age rating listed as 18+.

While the Crafting Table is the only LEGOMinecraftset being released to officially tie in with the game’s 15th anniversary, there are a handful of other LEGOMinecraftsets that are also technically releasing alongside this impressive milestone.
