Joe’s building tips

Prepare for battle with the LEGO® Minecraft™ 21146 The Skeleton Attack set! You’ve reached the edge of a Minecraft forest in the wake of a lightning storm. A skeleton horseman has spawned, complete with enchanted helmet and bow, and is approaching from the horizon together with its army of skeletons. Construct a shelter with a crafting table, bed and furnace, and prepare for battle! Craft a stone sword and build a trapdoor to surprise the hostile invaders, then tend to your crops, shear your redsheep and await the skeleton attack!

Pillagers have trapped an Iron Golem in a cage. Can the brave Knight save the Villagers’ friend from the hostile mobs? It’s up to you! Use the TNT to blast open the cage, then raise your axe ready to tackle the Pillagers. But where are they hiding? In the tent or in the archery practice area? Look out for the sheep! When you’ve beaten the Pillagers, rearrange the 3-part model for a new adventure!

You're running low on supplies that the Overworld just can't offer… light the obsidian portal and step through to reach The Nether Fortress! This forbidding structure is protected by an array of hostile mobs. Help Alex defeat the Blaze that guards the fortress. Take your diamond pickaxe and mine glowstone to light your way, but be careful not to trigger a lava flow! Build an access point to breach the fortress wall, grab your diamond sword and spring a surprise attack on the Zombie Pigman. Take on the red-eyed, fireball-shooting Ghast to obtain the chest containing 2 diamonds and a golden sword, collect mushrooms and Nether wart, and mine Nether quartz ore. It's all in a day's work for a LEGO® Minecraft™ hero! Rebuild the set for more LEGO® Minecraft™ creations! Includes 3 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Steve, Alex and a Zombie Pigman, plus a Blaze and a Ghast.

Hostile mobs are spawning like never before, and the desert is becoming a very scary place to be… it's time to build The Desert Outpost! Help Alex construct the house and lookout tower, build a protective wall and ring the fortress with burning torches. Have the tame wolf stand guard while you craft a bed, table, door, ladder and a boat, then sail out in search of crops to farm within the outpost walls. As darkness falls, silhouettes of approaching skeletons appear on the desert horizon. Grab your weapons, load up the TNT launcher, and prepare for battle! Rebuild the set for more LEGO® Minecraft™ creations! Includes 2 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories: Steve and Alex, plus a wolf and 2 skeletons.

Yield renewable resources with The Farm! You'll need food to survive, so fence in the livestock and channel the flowing water to nurture the crops. Harvest pumpkins, wheat, sugar cane and carrots. Use the crafting table to create a pumpkin helmet or jack-o'-lantern. But watch out for the skeleton with his bow and arrow after nightfall! Rebuild the set for more LEGO® Minecraft™ creations or combine with 21115 The First Night and other sets in the series for an even bigger Minecraft adventure! Includes a Steve minifigure with an accessory, plus a skeleton, cow and a sheep.

Bring your Minecraft® creativity into the real world with this classic red barn and farm! Outside, there are vegetables to grow – rotate the knob to make potatoes pop out of ground – and a horse, goat and cows to feed and care for. When a hostile chicken-riding baby zombie appears, help the rancher defeat it before opening up the barn for lots more creative fun inside.

Join Steve for an explosive Minecraft® adventure in the plains biome. Get to work at the crafting table with blocks of iron ore. Use your spyglass to look for danger. What can you see? A baby pig, a baby chicken… an Exploding Creeper™! Grab a sword to defend Steve. You haven’t got long: the Exploding Creeper’s already turned red! Push the switch and – boom! – an explosion blasts it into the air.

Enter the End at your peril! Don your diamond armor and helmet, grab your weapons and step into this dayless dimension that floats in the void beneath starless skies. Seek out the dangerous Endermen that dwell in the darkness. Wield your diamond sword and bow to defeat the enemy. Then summon all your powers to confront the mighty Ender Dragon that hovers above the regenerative Ender Crystals. When you've slain the dragon, collect the dragon egg to create an exit portal. Prepare yourself for the ultimate battle! Rebuild the set for more LEGO® Minecraft™ creations. Includes a Steve minifigure with assorted weapons and accessories, plus 3 Endermen and the Ender Dragon.

Prepare to care for the cutest mob in Minecraft™! Mom has brought baby panda to nursery – and they’re both full of life. They stand, sit, look around… usually for food! Luckily, there’s lots of bamboo to eat, and Alex has brought a pie to share! Time for a nap? Help baby panda climb the ladder to the rooftop bed. This hands-on LEGO® set adds a whole new dimension to your Minecraft adventures!

Grab a firework rocket to power your elytra wings into the sky and build a floating blacksmith’s house! Construct a sky-high tower! Assemble a floating island with a garden! But beware phantoms will attack if you haven’t slept in your bed (you have built a bed, haven’t you?). Use your netherite helmet and trident to fight them off. Then reconfigure to begin your next adventure!

Build a supercool base shaped like a giant diamond sword. Inside you can chill out and play a record on the jukebox. Post a Sentinel Soldier and Guardian Warrior outside to defend against any Creeper™ and skeleton attacks. When a Creeper explosion brings the guard tower crashing down, it’s time to fire the 2 shooters at the front of the base. Take care not to hit the friendly pig and allay!
