"A Minecraft Movie" dropped in 2025, and it’s got a bunch of smart little references to the game that longtime players will catch instantly. Here’s a look at five of the best Easter eggs that really shine in this blocky film.
Nod to Technoblade
Early on, there’s a sweet scene where a pig with a golden crown strolls through a village. Someone asks if it’s a king, and Steve (Jack Black) just calls it a "legend." It’s a quiet tribute to Technoblade, the Minecraft YouTuber who passed in 2022. That pig with the crown is straight from his brand, and it’s a moment that hits deep for fans.
Loading Screen Start
The movie opens with a square frame stretching out, just like the old Minecraft loading screen from 2011. It’s a small touch, but it nails the feeling of jumping into a new world. If you’ve ever started a fresh game, you’ll recognize it right away.
Jens Bergensten Pop-In
Look sharp for Jens Bergensten, the guy who designs Minecraft, showing up as a waiter in a restaurant bit with Jennifer Coolidge and a clueless villager. It’s a quick cameo, but if you know what “Jeb” looks like, seeing him pour wine is a neat surprise.
Alex Hint After Credits
Don’t leave when the credits roll—there’s a tease worth waiting for. Steve swings by his old place, knocks, and a redheaded woman in a green shirt answers, saying she’s Alex. She’s obviously the other main character from the game, but her face stays hidden, leaving everyone wondering about a sequel.
Pink Sheep Spotting
Right when the characters arrive in the Overworld, they see a pink sheep chilling in the grass. Pink sheep are super hard to find in Minecraft, with barely any chance of spawning. Tossing one in early is a fun nod to players who’ve spent ages searching for them.
These Easter eggs prove the filmmakers really got what makes Minecraft special, mixing in stuff for hardcore fans while keeping the story open for newbies. From honoring community icons to nailing classic game vibes, "A Minecraft Movie" crafts a world you’ll want to check out.
