The phenomenon of Minecraft has been around for years and isn’t going anywhere soon. When they partnered with Lego for these fantastic sets, it brought a whole new element to the Lego world. We’ve run down (and had a super fun time assembling) all of these Lego Minecraft sets, and come back with the best of the best in terms of fun, bang for your buck, and excitability. Let’s jump into the best Minecraft sets ever created and have a fun time doing it.

The Best Lego Minecraft Set

1
The Zombie Cave Lego Minecraft Set

the zombie cave lego minecraft set

Get ready to survive the first night! You always run into a zombie or two when you’re making camp, which is perfectly represented in this set. Craft the base of a shelter for the night on this strange rock formation, climb up the ladder, and delve into the mouth of the cave. Just be prepared for the bat, and careful: you’re not alone.

Steve will have to battle the zombie and the baby zombie in order to get through the moonlit skies in his first survival night. You get plenty of game-inclusive items, such as a block of TNT and a torch, so you can send those undead sky high and fight back. The Zombie Cave Minecraft Lego set is simple, hooks up to other kits seamlessly, and works with all existing Lego sets that you or your child currently have.

Key Features:

241 piece set

Age range for 7 – 14

Includes four minifigures

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO

Railway in the Nether Lego Minecraft Set

railway in the nether lego minecraft set

You’ve built your portal, and it’s time for you to head on into the unmapped nether. Tame the fires, and hop on your railway to jump between destinations over lakes of boiling lava. This kit includes a fully-armored steve, fitted in full diamond with his trust diamond pickaxe. In this dangerous realm, there’s far more to fear than falling down into the fire below: mobs lurk everywhere.

Zombie pigmen and buildable magma slime mobs are waiting to send you back to the overworld, which is why you’ll have to hop on your workable minecart and send them back to the depths below. Railway in the Nether has a high number of pieces to mix and match your Railway with the other Lego Minecraft sets that you already own. This is a perfect gift for boys. 

Key Features:

The Crafting Box Lego Minecraft Set

the crafting box lego minecraft set

Now it’s time to get down to business. You have a vast environment with a player-made tower sitting in the center, overlooking your farm patch. That’s where your first minifigure rests, a cow in their pen, and a baby slime sitting in the makeshift beginning of a home base. You get a chest, torch, pumpkins and more, all focused around making your ultimate base to build, craft and play. If only it were that easy.

A creeper rests in the rocky crag beneath your tower, hiding in the woods and waiting for the right moment to strike. You get Steve and an armored horse, as well as a fully compatible set that connects to other Minecraft Lego kits. The best thing about The Crafting Box is the ability to detach the different areas and mix and match to create your own environment, giving you endless ideas and a whole ton of ways to play.

Key Features:

The Iron Golem Lego Minecraft Set

 the iron golem lego minecraft set

Steve is away for the day, and Alex is here to put the hurt on these mobs. She’s been working to build an iron golem to protect the furnace and crafting table setup she has going, and keep her pig companion safe as can be. You’ll get the transformation monument to turn steel and a pumpkin into the fully movable iron golem minifigure, and start to take back the night.

You’ll get a rocky outcrop and the beginning of a stream to add to your existing Minecraft Lego setup, and finally, get to throw Alex into the mix. The Iron Golem is inexpensive and seen as a booster set to add onto an existing world or accompany a few other purchases to really get things moving, adding a nice element and an assortment of new Minifigures into the mix.

Key Features:

208 piece set

Age range for 8+

The Village

the village

You’ve survived the night, braved the storm, and now it’s time to settle down. Explore four home, the blacksmith, or take up arms in the hut with the railings that act as a tower. There’s a well to gather from, a pen for animals, and a stall to gather all your wares at. This explosive kit brings an entirely different dimension to your Minecraft Lego world, allowing you to use villagers, Endermen, and zombies to up the ante and evolve your world.

The Village is a large-scale set for ages eight and up, giving some massive playing power to your existing world, or making the perfect way to begin a love for these sets. You can virtually attach any other Minecraft Lego set to the edges and monopolize your world into an enormous adventure.

Key Features:

1,600 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes a wide assortment of minifigures to add to your collection

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

6
The Waterfall Base

the waterfall base

I remember my first waterfall base. Actually, this is cooler than anything I made. You get an excellent dimension to add to your Lego Minecraft world, including a waterfall, a large grass-like playing area, and an assortment of mobs to battle by the big oak tree. Flip the set around to get a moment’s rest from all the dangerous adventure, and barrel your Minifigures behind the safe doors of their waterfall base.

Keep the zombies out and enjoy the diamond sword hanging plaque, windows, chest, crafting table, and more. The Waterfall Base is either a great booster to other kits, such as The Village, or works perfectly on its own as a starter to delve into the exciting world of Minecraft Legos and get a feel for the dangerous blocky world that rests ahead. Attach this to the main kit, The Zombie Cave, to give yourself a sense of accomplishment from humble beginnings, to subterranean bases.

Key Features:

729 piece set

Age range 8+

Adds an assortment of minifigures, including Steve and Alex, as well as some buildable mobs

7
The Jungle Tree House

the jungle tree house

It’s hard work in the middle of the jungle, the only way to go is up! You get a ton of pieces and a lot of different heights and angles to play with here, especially if you park that water stream right next to The Waterfall playset. Treetops sit everywhere, and danger lurks below the staircase. Keep an eye on your sheep in the pen, watch out for the ocelot on the banks of sand, and build your world.

Steve has a spot to stay on the lookout up in the trees, allowing Alex to cultivate your water-top garden while you build resources, stack weapons, and get ready to fight the undead. Fend off against the creeper while dodging skeleton arrows, and get ready for nightfall. There are endless possibilities with The Jungle Tree House, perfect as a big addition to a pre-existing Minecraft Lego world.

Key Features:

706 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes Alex, Steve, a creeper, skeleton and more minifigures

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO

8
The Cave

the cave

The best Minecraft toys are the ones you can actually build with, and this may be the most fun kit of them all. Delve into The Cave, skirt around the lava waterfall, and watch out for the dangerous spider lurking throughout the darkness. You can either mine your way to iron riches or use the TNT to vanquish the mobs in your path. Steve brings his buckets, torches, iron pickaxe, and a chest filled with bread to keep him moving through the night.

With so many elements, you can add on to your other rocky outcrops, add some water pieces to the set, and use this as a starting point to branch off into your own world. The best Minecraft Lego sets bring you back to the roots of the game, and this is just the ticket. Attach it to your starter Zombie Cave set to really get things moving, and let The Nether Railway sit off to the side for some heated adventure.

Key Features:

249 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes Steve, a zombie, and a buildable spider mob

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

9
The Farm Cottage

the farm cottage

Take to the lake, take to the woods, whatever your pick, there’s tons of fun to be had. You get Steve and Alex working in tandem to create a bustling home flooded with farmhouse animals, and a thriving farm to keep them full and happy until next game. This multi-tiered cottage home includes a chest filled with goodies, plenty of greenery to add to your food bank, and a designated set of signs over your burrows.

As you can expect, there’s always danger lurking. Skeletons can’t handle the sunlight, which is why you have a stray running around inside the cottage, waiting for an ambush. Feed the pig, load up the mule, and head off into an adventure. The Farm Cottage makes a fantastic addition to The Village and The Waterfall Base, as well as building on other areas of your Minecraft Lego world.

Key Features:

549 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes Steve, Alex, a zombie and an assortment of animal mobs

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO
  • Model6212500
  • Weight2.25 pounds

10
The Nether Portal

the nether portal

The time has come: you’ve dug down and reached diamond, built your portal, but what you didn’t expect were the mobs waiting on the other side, bursting into the overworld. You’ve burst through right over a lake of lava, brimming out of the side of Netherrack mountain. You’re greeted by a ghast and blaze, ready to set fire to your base on the other side.

The Nether Portal is intended to directly connect with The Nether Railway to add a serious bit of texture to your nether-related sets and make the overworld that much more terrifying. At any moment, hellish monsters could spill out and lay waste to your towns and jungles. You’ll get an armored Steve in this set complete with a diamond shield and sword, and a fun (inexpensive) way to add some dimensions to your Minecraft Lego world.

Key Features:

470 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes an armored Steve, blaze, ghast, and mini mobs

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO
  • Model6212494
  • Weight1.52 pounds
BUY ON AMAZON

11
The Polar Igloo

the polar igloo

We didn’t forget about the Arctic. There are so many biomes in Minecraft, so much to do, and only so many blocks to do it with. Even out here in the vast tundras of the overworld, trouble is still lurking. Alex has made a Polar Igloo beneath the oak tree, lighting her doorway with torches as she watches the polar bears wandering around.

That’s when the night hits, and the Stray lurks around with his bow and arrow, ready to take down players and loot their treasure chests. Give yourself a touch of ice and a whole lot of playroom with this inexpensive set, making a great addition to cave-based sets, and a great way to start out a young builder’s Minecraft Lego world.

Key Features:

278 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes Alex, two polar bears, and a Stray mob

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO
  • Model6212485
  • Weight1.28 pounds
BUY ON AMAZON

12
The First Night

the first night

I never had enough time to build something this awesome on the first night, but you can. Everyone starts out with a boxy, square house, but what makes this set so spectacular is that the house opens to reveal the interior. Instead of just having those structures as a backdrop like in The Village, this is fully functional and gives players the ability to get technical with their world. Hop onto the rooftop garden, or feed the pig in the stables while you begin your strategy.

There’s always trouble lurking somewhere for Steve, especially when he’s new to the world and vulnerable. A creeper sits in the shadows of the forest, ready to lay waste to your entire building and everything you’ve created. The First Night emulates the start of a Minecraft game extremely well, making it one of the best Minecraft Lego set gifts for a young builder looking to bring their creative world to life.

Key Features:

408 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes Steve, a creeper and a pig

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO
  • Model6092460
  • Weight0.96 ounces
BUY ON AMAZON

13
The Ender Dragon

the ender dragon

The final fight between good and evil begins! Endermen are guarding the sacred ender crystals, your only shot at getting rid of the nefarious ender dragon once and for all. This set includes a fully buildable (and huge, in terms of Minifigures) ender dragon to really add a monstrous enemy to your builder’s world.

For some added fun, you can mix these with your nether sets to make an entire boss realm for Steve or Alex to travel through. Use the included bow to open fire on the Endermen, take down the crystals, and emerge victorious back into your stronghold. The Ender Dragon includes ultra-simple building technique and works very well as a starter kit or a big birthday present.

Key Features:

634 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes Steve, three endermen, and the legendary ender dragon

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO
  • Model6092467
  • Weight2.09 pounds

14
The Chicken Coop

the chicken coop

We’ve all made a giant chicken in Minecraft, or at least know someone who has. Now you get to make that into an enormous coop and bring your flock of birds right on through the door. Cultivate eggs, use your ax to hack down trees in your nearby additional Minecraft Lego sets, and use your trust blue-collared wolf to help her them into place.

You get plenty of small add-on items, such as cooked drumsticks (sorry chickens), a bone for the wolf, eggs, flowers, a chicken banner, and plenty of baseplate play space to add your other building sites. Personally, The Chicken Coop was a lot of fun to add to the Waterfall Base set, giving you a little more to do instead of just hiding underground. Get your farm going, build your chicken monument, and conquer your world.

Key Features:

198 piece set

Age range for 7 – 14

Includes Alex and four animal mobs to get your farm going

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO
  • Model6212349
  • Weight12 ounces
BUY ON AMAZON

15
The Fortress

the fortress

The order of the creeper has been established! The Fortress leads you into your ender dragon playset and gives you plenty of weapons to arm all your versions of Steve and Alex to fight ‘til the last block’s standing. Three skeletons await with bows, ready to defend their castle and prevent you from getting into the ender.

Grab your swords from wooden all the way up to diamond, inspect the suit of leather armor, and mix and match this set like there’s no tomorrow. The towers are easily detachable to stack on top of one another or rearrange your fortress fairgrounds into a truly impenetrable fortress. There’s one final structure in your way of getting to the ender dragon, and you’re not going to let a few bags of bones stop you, right?

Key Features:

984 piece set

Age range 8+

Includes Steve, three skeletons, and buildable animal mobs

Lego Minecraft sets are compatible with all other Lego products

Specification:
  • BrandLEGO
  • Model6135642
  • Weight4.15 pounds
