Mojang vote: which player-made build will appear in «A Minecraft Movie: Squared»

Mojang has given the community real power — and this time it’s not about a new block or mechanic. The studio has announced the final stage of voting, where players themselves will decide which community build will appear in the sequel to «A Minecraft Movie: Squared». If you’ve wanted to leave your mark on the franchise’s history, now is the time.

How it all began: the Minecraft Live contest

This vote began at Minecraft Live, where Mojang announced the A Minecraft Movie: Squared Build Challenge. Thousands of players from around the world submitted their creations, each built under specific block restrictions. The task wasn’t easy: create something impressive enough to deserve a place on the big screen.

Mojang’s jury reviewed all entries and selected three finalists. «We received an incredible number of submissions and couldn’t be more impressed with our community,» the developers wrote. «Narrowing the list down to three entrants was truly difficult.»

Three finalists: who’s competing for a place in the film

Here are the builds players must choose between:

• Lightning Rod Lighthouse («Lighthouse with a lightning rod») by Francisco C.M. — a monumental coastal structure that combines classic lighthouse architecture with distinctive lightning rod elements. Large-scale, detailed, and clearly built with passion.
• Copper Badlands Castle («Copper castle in the badlands») by Rosanna C. — a fantasy castle set within the harsh badlands biome. Copper details give the build a unique patina and character. Many believe this entry shows the full potential of copper blocks better than any other.
• Tree Village («Village in the trees») by Ben V. — a cozy settlement built right in the treetops. A lively, atmospheric creation that feels like it came straight out of a fairy tale.

Each finalist shows a completely different approach to building — from monumental engineering thinking to intimate architectural poetry.

Deadline: act fast

Voting is already open, but time is short. It will remain open through July 6, 2026 — servers will close during the night of July 7 (midnight PT / 3:00 ET / 8:00 BST / 9:00 CEST). The winner will be announced on July 10 via Minecraft’s official social media accounts — X, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Each player can cast only one vote, so choose carefully.

How to vote: step-by-step guide

Everything happens directly in the game — no external websites or forms. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Launch Minecraft: Bedrock Edition
2. Click «Play» and go to the «Servers» tab
3. Find and select the Minecraft Movie Voting Event
4. Enter the experience: walk down the red carpet into the main hall where all three builds are displayed
5. Go to the voting booth in front of your favorite build, press the interaction button, and confirm your choice

Mojang adds with a smile: «There’s no wrong answer here, so don’t worry.»

What the winner gets

The stakes are high: the winning build will become a full location in the film that the main characters will visit. This isn’t just a background easter egg — it will be a real setting in a major Hollywood blockbuster.

About the film: what to expect from the sequel

«A Minecraft Movie: Squared» is set to premiere on July 23, 2027. The sequel will see Jack Black return as Steve and Jason Momoa as Garrett. They’ll be joined by Kirsten Dunst, who will play Alex. Matt Berry, Jennifer Coolidge, and Danielle Brooks will also return to the cast.
