7 New 2023 LEGO Minecraft Sets Officialy Revealed

LEGO Minecraft fans will surely love this next piece of news. Because in case you missed it, LEGO.com has officially revealed its line-up of new 2023 LEGO Minecraft sets, scheduled to arrive online and in-store in January next year, alongside other licensed themes to be released at the sound of the first bell of 2023.

Personally, I’m glad to see that these new seven 2023 LEGO Minecraft sets show LEGO’s effort to somewhat balance their pricing while leaving more room for playability and aesthetics. This is crucial in my opinion since Minecraft is mainly a world-building game catered to younger video game players. It’s nice to see that even more than a decade since Minecraft once introduced, LEGO is staying true to form with regard to these play features and design.

Take a look at the following images, and be sure to click on their respective affiliate links if you want to know more, or add these sets to your LEGO wishlist this 2023.

LEGO Con ’22 Poll for New “Minecraft” Minifig in 2023 Started

Never has a separate videogame franchise perhaps been so perfect a fit with LEGO than “Minecraft”. It started with a LEGO Ideas set, then it expanded into a full theme line. We’ve already gotten several new LEGO Minecraft sets this year, with more coming still. And the synergy goes both ways. Last year during the first LEGO Con, a poll was initiated for a new “Minecraft” character skin minifigure. From a choice between warrior, ranger, and ninja, a ninja minifig was voted, joining “Minecraft” sets this year. And this past LEGO Con 2022, another online poll for a new “Minecraft” character skin has just begun.

Vote now!

— LEGO (@LEGO_Group) June 20, 2022

As told by Brickset, there will be a new “Minecraft” minifig character skin coming to the theme next year. Like before, it’ll be decided by an online poll on social media. Just after LEGO Con, the vote was started on LEGO’s official Twitter page. Where the 2021 poll for the 2022 skin offered three diverse options, this year we only have “knight” variants to choose from. Would you like a Classic Knight, Crystal Knight, or Prismarine Knight to be featured in LEGO Minecraft sets of 2023? You have until June 24 to make your choice.

More LEGO Minecraft 2022 Sets Unveiled at LEGO Con 2022

The LEGO Con 2022 reveal train has no brakes or something to that effect. We got plenty of neat set reveals on June 18. Among them were notable anniversary milestone entries. Earlier, we touched on two 90th-anniversary LEGO sets joining the Icons theme. But this year also marks a decade since LEGO Ideas released a set for the hit videogame franchise “Minecraft.” Collectors saw this one-off item birth a popular LEGO product line. And while some entries for the theme have already been released earlier this year, there are still more, particularly with the reveal of more LEGO Minecraft 2022 sets.

According to Brickset, two more LEGO Minecraft 2022 sets saw the light of day at LEGO Con last Saturday. These ones fill out the set number list we caught back in February. Get ready to expand the brick-built Minecraft world with the Skeleton Dungeon (21189) and The Abandoned Village (21190). As many of the LEGO Con reveals, they’ll arrive this August. Now let’s have a look at their product listing info:

The Skeleton Dungeon (21189)

Age 8+ | 364 pieces | 4 minifigures | $34.99 | Coming August 1

Action-packed set for Minecraft® players – With classic details, hands-on features and multiple biomes, LEGO® Minecraft The Skeleton Dungeon (21189) has everything kids need for endless adventures
Iconic features – Includes the cave explorer, 3 skeletons and 3 biomes: a dripstone cave with a rock-fall function; a lush cave with bushes, clay and torches; and a dungeon with a skeleton spawner
Many ways to play – Kids can build, explore, battle and operate fun features as they embark on endless Minecraft® adventures, then rebuild the set for even more creative play

The Abandoned Village (21190)

Age 8+ | 422 pieces | 3 minifigures | $44.99 | Coming August 1

Battle-and-build action for Minecraft® players – Kids need all their Minecraft know-how as they reclaim and rebuild a creepy zombie village with the LEGO® Minecraft The Abandoned Village (21190) set
4-part playset – Includes 2 zombies and a zombie hunter, a zombie hunter’s campsite, zombie villager’s workplace, zombie farmer’s pumpkin patch, an abandoned house and lots of authentic accessories
Endless creative play – Players must reclaim a creepy village from zombies, then rebuild it in their personal style, ready for more Minecraft® adventures

Other LEGO Minecraft sets in this batch have already been launched earlier. The Bakery (21184), The Nether Bastion (21185), The Ice Castle (21186), The Red Barn (21187), and The Llama Village (21188) are available at LEGO.com.

Rumor: 7 LEGO Minecraft Sets Coming Summer 2022

LEGO Minecraft proves itself to be one of the busiest licensed-IP themes in the LEGO catalog. This past New Year’s Day we welcomed no less than six new sets in the line. There’s nothing quite like more LEGO Minecraft to expand your brick-built “Minecraft” world. But is that all that the theme’s getting for the year 2022? Of course not; but what else will be coming? Well, Brick Fanatics reports that a US online toy retailer has new LEGO set numbers listed. They’re unnamed, but have retail prices and indicators that they’re for LEGO Minecraft.

It seems that Eugene Toy & Hobby had, for a time, listed seven LEGO set numbers for new “Minecraft” stuff. We checked their website ourselves and they’re not there anymore. But if Brick Fanatics spotted them then we can at least mark this down as a rumor. We thus have the following bare-bones details on the alleged upcoming LEGO Minecraft sets. These are supposed to launch this summer of 2022:

21184 – $24.99
21185 – $34.99
21186 – $49.99
21187 – $99.99
21188 – $129.99
21189 – $34.99
21190 – $39.99

As can be seen, the first set number follows immediately from The Training Yard (21183), released on January 1. We’ve also got a nice price spread with one “big” set worth 3 digits. All told, this supposed summer 2022 LEGO Minecraft set blitz is shaping up nicely. Of course, we remind readers that we consider this info as rumor until more details appear, preferably from LEGO.

“Brickcraft”: Cool Resource Pack Gives “Minecraft” Blocks a LEGO-Brick Makeover

Back in 2012, LEGO Ideas (Cuusoo back then) released their third set, based on surprise videogame hit “Minecraft.” This would lead to a full-on LEGO licensed-IP theme line that still gets new sets to this year. That much was expected considering the source franchise. Since its official release in 2011 (classic version 2009), “Minecraft” has built a solid player base. The fact that it went multiple platforms helped a lot too. And the simple yet robust construction mechanics made it a perfect fit with the LEGO system when translated to sets. But what do you think of the LEGO aesthetics getting translated into the games?

Brickcraft | Turn your world into Bricks in Minecraft! from lego

Now this is an unofficial thing, being a game mod and all. But as Game Rant tells it, a “Minecraft” player is working on a resource pack called “Brickcraft.” This mod transforms the blocks that all materials in the “Minecraft” world look like, into 4×4 LEGO bricks. For all intents and purposes, it makes the game world akin to a brick-built environment. The user AlexTestria has been working on this mod for five months already. He uploaded a sample video of the newest revisions in action on TikTok then shared the preview on LEGO subreddit.

From what we can see in the sample footage, “Brickcraft” appears like Mojang and WB-Interactive’s TT Games have teamed up. Seeing the “Minecraft” blocks as LEGO bricks (above and below) is mind-blowing, and a testament to AlexTestria’s team’s efforts. Interested players may download the “Brickcraft” resource pack on the creator’s Patreon page. The mod’s latest version 1.3 (low-quality) is available for free. But for a $2.56/€2 Patreon donation, he’ll provide the higher-quality editions. Apparently this pack is for PC version.

2022 LEGO Minecraft Sets Now Listed

Way back in September, we picked up rumors of new sets for LEGO Minecraft coming next year. This is notable considering that 2022 is 10 years after the release of the first Minecraft set from LEGO Ideas. From Ideas’ Minecraft Micro World (21102) arose one of LEGO’s most popular licensed-IP themes. It thus feels fitting to have an anniversary milestone, or so the six rumored upcoming LEGO Minecraft sets indicate. Some of the set names even hint at creatures from the original games yet to be depicted in brick-built form. Now we get to see them following their LEGO.com listing.

According to The Brick Fan, one of these now-confirmed sets also includes a fan vote-winning entry. This was from LEGO Con 2021, regarding a new skin for the blocky LEGO Minecraft minfigures. In this case, a Minecraft Ninja won out. Let’s take a look at him and the newly-unveiled sets:

Rumor of New LEGO Minecraft Sets Arriving in 2022, for Theme’s Possible 10th Anniversary

LEGO Minecraft is an established “licensed IP” LEGO theme today, with several sets to its name. But it technically began in 2012 as a LEGO Ideas submission. That product idea (Minecraft Micro World [21102]) is now recognized as having started the LEGO Minecraft line. As the theme approaches its first decade, it feels only appropriate to have lots of set releases. Some acknowledgement of the milestone anniversary would sound nice too. Well, German LEGO price comparison website Brickmerge.de has listed what appear to be six upcoming LEGO Minecraft sets. None of them feel “anniversary” in name, but they’re currently rumors.

As discovered by Brick Fanatics, here are the alleged LEGO Minecraft sets appearing in 2022. The price range progression for all of them feels reasonable too. The names also hint at getting some of the more uncommon mobs from the “Minecraft” games. Without further ado, here are those rumored sets.

The Creeper Ambush (21177) – €9.99 / $11.71
The Fox Lodge (21178) – €19.99 / $23.44
The Mushroom House (21179) – €19.99 / $23.44
The Guardian Duel (21180) – €22.99 / $26.95
The Rabbit Ranch (21181) – €22.99 / $26.95
The Training Yard (21182) – €59.99 / $70.34

The above prices in dollars are direct conversions.

Despite being listed in an in-depth LEGO price comparison site, the usual disclaimers must apply. These are only rumors until LEGO gives us official word. With that, we leave with this speculation also shared with Brick Fanatics. The reasons these 2022 LEGO Minecraft sets feel lackluster for arriving on the theme’s 10^th anniversary, is that they’re not. Perhaps LEGO doesn’t count the 2012 LEGO Ideas set as the starting point. The first “official” LEGO Minecraft sets in that branding arrived just the following year, 2013. It does make one wonder. I guess we’ll find out sooner or later, as usual.

Check Out This List of Retiring LEGO Sets For H1 2021

As LEGO began to roll out its wave of new sets this 2nd half of 2021, it is also expected that the company will begin clearing out from its shelves (both from its physical stores and online) several of its previous sets that are expected to reach its end of life very soon. Retiring LEGO sets are almost always of particular interest to the LEGO fan community, considering that most of us still have that one set that we are looking forward to ticking out from our LEGO must-have bucket list. And recently, Stone Wars have released a very comprehensive list of all the retiring LEGO sets that are expected to quietly exit or may have exited already, from LEGO stores and online, during the 1st half of this year.

The list of these retiring LEGO sets for H1 2021 is presented here. In case you’re interested, you may click on the following LEGO Shop@Home affiliate links below to check out their current availability. Some of these sets may be temporarily out of stock or tagged as already sold out as I’ve checked a while ago as of this posting. Nevertheless, it is still helpful to check if your expected LEGO set is still included in this listing.

Just a disclaimer though – like previously retired LEGO sets, this list is not 100% accurate considering how fast these retiring LEGO sets might sell out. So I encourage you to do a quick search over at LEGO Shop@Home. A huge thanks to Stone Wars once again for sharing and verifying this list.

A New Fan-Voted LEGO Minecraft Minifigure Skin Is Coming in 2022

LEGO CON may well be over, but there are a lot of things to look forward to thanks to LEGO’s very first virtual fan convention. If you recall from last month, one of the highlights of LEGO CON 2021 is a LEGO Minecraft poll where fans are asked to vote among three suggested LEGO Minecraft minifigure skins: a ninja, a warrior, and a ranger. And after several weeks of gathering support, LEGO has finally announced the winner via its social media channel.

You have spoken! The Ninja character skin has won our #LEGOCON poll and will be included in a brand new #LEGO #Minecraft set, coming next year! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/bObbvf1RPp

— LEGO (@LEGO_Group) July 12, 2021

With more than 56% of fan votes, the overall winner of this fan vote contest is the LEGO Minecraft Ninja Character minifigure skin. To be precise, this is not the first ninja character that was introduced to the LEGO Minecraft theme. Just last year, LEGO added in the Illlager Raid (21160) set a LEGO Minecraft version of Kai as a way of celebrating Ninjago’s 10th anniversary. However, having a new and original ninja skin added to the growing number of Minecraft-inspired minifigures is a very much welcomed offering.

There is no final word yet on how this new LEGO Minecraft Minifigure will make its debut next year. Whether added to the usual LEGO Minecraft set, or skin packs like those from 2016, I’m pretty sure that this is a welcomed treat to all fans of the theme. We’ll soon find out.
