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.
2025 LEGO Sets
In 2025, LEGO continued to captivate builders with a mix of innovation and collaboration. A major highlight was a partnership with Formula 1 celebrating the sport’s 75th anniversary, featuring sets for all ten F1 teams across LEGO City and DUPLO. The Nintendo collaboration expanded with Mario Kart sets starring Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Princess Peach, while the Australian hit Bluey joined the LEGO portfolio through DUPLO and 4+ sets tailored for younger fans. Rounding out the year’s nostalgia, LEGO revealed a Game Boy model under its Icons line, furthering its series of Nintendo-inspired tributes.
