Frequently asked questions

What is the best Minecraft stocking stuffer under $25?

The LEGO Minecraft Mushroom House for a builder, or the Creeper plush if they want something soft for the shelf.

What age is the LEGO Mushroom House for?

LEGO rates it for ages 8 and up. Younger fans may need a hand with the build.

Do they need the game for these gifts?

No. The LEGO set, plush, handbook and cookbook all work on their own. The handbook is useful on whichever device they play.

Why is the Switch game not on this page?

Minecraft for Switch typically sits above the under-$25 band. It is on our Minecraft fans and gamers under $50 guides instead.
