Minecraft has for many years been one of the most popular video games, allowing users to build and battle in a world of blocks and mobs as they journey through worlds of their own creation and explore new and exciting experiences at every turn.

Minecraft has exploded in popularity and it now exists away from the screens of computers and iPads where it was born, and now can be found on t-shirts, bags, and at the heart of many cosplay experiences – with pixel swords and diamond armour on display at many fancy dress parties across the globe.

And as with any hugely popular entertainment franchise – from Star Wars and Marvel to Harry Potter and even Friends – Minecraft has teamed up with LEGO to create sets for builders of all ages to enjoy. And with its uniquely block-focused world, Minecraft not only works well in LEGO, it feels like it was practically made for LEGO.

But with a lot of Minecraft LEGO available, and only so many hours in the day, we've selected some of our favourite sets to help you choose the best to buy. Here are the best Minecraft LEGO kits to buy and build in 2023...

LEGO Minecraft: The Pig House

It doesn't matter where you go in Minecraft, there's never a pig very far away. So why not celebrate the porcine prevalence in the video game by building this impressive giant pig house – complete with two little piggies, an Alex character and a Creeper who is more than likely to cause trouble.

Like much of the Minecraft LEGO, this set is quite interactive and is more than just a build-and-leave experience – it's designed to be played with. The whole of the side of the house opens, which is certainly worth the price of admission.

Steve is trying to unearth coal, iron and diamond in the world of Minecraft, but he won't be able to do that unless you build him an abandoned mine made out of LEGO first!

One of the smallest sets on this list at only 72 pieces, this is perfect for someone who is looking to start out in LEGO and doesn't want to be overwhelmed with a massive build - never wise to go for a huge one the first time. But with some characters and items that are instantly recognisable from Minecraft, the creeper ambush remains a gift that fans of the franchise will love.
