Mojang has just unveiled its collaboration with The Lego Group with pictures of the Lego Minecraft Micro World.
The Minecraft-inspired Lego set comes with four modular cubes, the surfaces of which can be removed to find hidden goodies within, and two Lego mini-figs, Steve and the Creeper.
Minecraft creator Markus Persson unveiled the set at a press conference in Denmark. “I played a lot with Lego bricks as a child, and that’s influenced how I make games. I prefer games with levels that are modifiable. I don’t like static levels,” he said.
“There are problems of scaling. Minecraft has huge long tunnels, and you can’t really fit that in to a living room. But I think the Lego guys have created something that’s really great, that really feels like Minecraft.”
The Lego Minecraft Micro World will be available in the summer in the United States and Europe, priced at $34.99 and €34.99 respectively. Jinx.com is currently accepting pre-orders for the sets.
