No, this is not a late April Fool's joke. Minecraft has had a live-action movie in the works for a little while now, although we've heard so little about it that you'd be forgiven for not knowing it actually exists. It's been no secret that production has been troubled, with the last update we had coming in the form of an announcement back in 2022 that Game of Thrones and Aquaman star Jason Momoa will have a part to play.It had been rumored that the title had been cancelled due to complications behind the scenes mixed with issues caused by the pandemic, but it now looks like every has calmed down as Warner Brothers has announced the title will release on April 4 in 2025. Due to this being almost two years away, it's best to take that date with a pinch of salt as that date could easily move between now and 2025, especially with the project already having a spotty history.Related: Minecraft: 11 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do In The Snowy BiomesDespite being in production for a few years now, we still know very little about the movie and the plot. We know it's going to be set in the world of Minecraft and will be live-action, but that's all the info we have besides a brief movie description on IMDB. However, we can tell from this description that Momoa will not be playing the main character, as the movie will focus on "a young girl and her group of unlikely adventurers", meaning he'll probably be in more of a supporting role than centre stage.

In other Minecraft news, some brave fans of the series have managed to take the Ender Dragon out of the The End and have it roam free in the Overworld, entirely in Survival Mode. Of course, it's not an easy feat to pull off, and requires a whole bunch of piston trickery and timing. These players smash the final crystal in the Ender Dragon fight arena to get the beast to stay still, and then use pistons to push it out of bounds. This then spawns a new Ender Dragon which is then killed to open a portal.

The players then bring back the old dragon back using an Elytra to push it back into bounds and then use pistons to push it into the portal. The dragon then pops up in the Overworld, giving them their own Ender Dragon pal they can hang around with.
