Minecraft has been around for over ten years, yet enthusiasm for the game remains. As a seemingly timeless sandbox builder that is endlessly flexible and regularly updated, it's a multi-platform marvel with a wide appeal. Schools have used it for education, families play together to have fun, and talented builders create maps with mini-games galore that you can find on the marketplace.
Minecraft is a block-building phenomenon and with that comes a whole host of different merchandise. The following is a small section of what's available, showcasing a range of officially licensed and quality products that are sure to appeal to miners and crafters of all ages.
Minecraft: Builders & Biomes Board Game
Minecraft: Builders & Biomes brings the Overworld to your tabletop as you explore different biomes, mine resources, build structures, collect weapons, and defeat mobs. It has great reviews and is a simple way to expand your love of Minecraft outside a screen.
This strategy-based board game is suitable for 2-4 players with a recommended age of ten and over. It was designed in collaboration with Mojang, but knowledge of Minecraft isn't essential.
Minecraft Plush Cat Neck Pillow
This cute short pile plush cat neck pillow wraps gently around the back of your neck and sits on your shoulders. It's soft, squishy, and flexible enough to be as comfortable for an adult as it is for a child. The Minecraft cat is instantly recognizable and surprisingly comforting.
It makes a great alternative to bulky neck pillows for travel but will likely also be played with as a toy. Just a note of caution. It does make gentle purring noises when you press its paw. This is good to know before a child wraps it around your neck, so you can "test it" and then you hear an unexpected meow in your ear...
Minecraft Master Builds
If you want to see Minecraft pushed to its limits then this Minecraft Master Builders book is for you. It showcases some amazing builds with a range of illustrations covering not only the larger projects but also the tiny details that go into them. These are packed between interviews with the builders that talk about how they achieved these masterpieces.
Master Builds will provide inspiration and awe for anyone who loves to see what can be created with a palette of blocks, a huge imagination, and a lot of dedication.
Minecraft Torch Lamp
The Minecraft Torch Lamp is based on the regular torch in the game, and this Paladone version is officially licensed. The torch is battery-powered and can be used as a torch or mounted to the wall as a lamp. It also has a 20-minute auto shut-off function, so it makes a great night light.
If you aren't a fan of your kids wandering around with Minecraft Swords and Pickaxes this lamp makes a great alternative. It's an in-game item brought to life that has a practical use. What's not to love?
Minecraft Plush Toys
There are many plush toys of various Minecraft mobs, but if you want the most recent official ones they are made by Mattel. These squishy toys make sounds and are around ten inches tall. They are short pile, durable, and match in terms of style.
