After negotiations between Mojang and LEGO fell apart in 2012, theMinecraftspin-off titleBrickcraftended development, but a dedicated group of fans has now found a playable prototype build of the collaboration game.Brickcraftwould have transformed the world ofMinecraftinto a LEGO-inspired realm filled with the familiar pieces of the building-block toys, and in spite of no official release ever coming to fruition, a usable version of the game has finally surfaced.
Back in the early 2010s, developer Majong entered discussions with LEGO to produce a crossover video game, but Majong disagreed with the brand restrictions put in place by the toy company, so development on the title was terminated. For years, players sought out a playable build of the forgottenMinecraftspin-off title with little success. As of June 2025, the search has resulted in an exciting find for fans who have been eagerly awaiting news of the long-lostMinecraftand LEGO collaboration.
Spotted byGamesRadar, on June 26, the Omniarchive community website announced that it had finally discovered a playable build of the infamousBrickcraft. Omniarchive is a fan-created platform that is dedicated to cataloging and preserving all thingsMinecraft, and the group of players behind the site has offered audiences a first-ever look at a June 2012 build ofBrickcraft. The fans estimate that the provided version of the game is a build that was in development up until a month before the title’s cancellation and could potentially be one of the last builds ever used before work onBrickcraftwas formally terminated. In spite of some performance hurdles, the existing build is said to feature a functionalMinecraftmultiplayer game mode, and mods have already been developed to make the prototype more accessible to interested fans.
Minecraft x LEGO Brickcraft Prototype and Collaboration History
WhileBrickcraftnever officially came to be, LEGO andMinecrafthave collaborated on a number of physical LEGO sets, including various minifigures and item pieces. TheMinecraftLEGO building setshave proven incredibly popular, and audiences have lamented the lack of an official crossover video game. As such, it should come as no surprise that the playableprototypebuild found by Omniarchive is already picking up steam among onlineMinecraftand LEGO communities.
BothMinecraftand LEGO have amassed impressive fandoms over the years, and many may wonder why the two juggernauts have never come back to the table to start fresh negotiations for a powerhouse video game collaboration. Some argue that theFortniteLEGO mode collaborationhas put the possibility of aMinecraftLEGO crossover into a state of limbo, though it would not be unheard of for a toy brand like LEGO to branch out with multiple gaming team-ups. It is presently unknown if an officialMinecraftLEGO game will ever be fully realized, leaving players to either optimistically wait it out or try their hand with the uncovered prototype build.
