The LEGO Minecraft theme is a collaboration between Mojang and the LEGO Group, based on the video game Minecraft. Created by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson, Minecraft was later developed and published by Mojang and Microsoft. The first set, Minecraft: Micro World – The Forest, was released in 2012 under LEGO Ideas through the LEGO CUUSOO program. The theme officially launched in 2013, and at MineCon that year, LEGO announced a new wave of minifigure-scale Minecraft sets.
2020 LEGO Sets
In 2020, LEGO thrived despite global disruptions, debuting several new lines for both families and adult fans. LEGO Super Mario introduced interactive, course-building play; Monkie Kid launched with a modern take on Journey to the West; and creative-focused ranges such as DOTS, LEGO Art, and Brick Sketches broadened display and craft appeal. Creator Expert (later Icons) and Ideas delivered standout display sets, anchoring a strong year for collectors.
