Minecraft teamed up with McDonald’s not too long ago, rolling out a bunch of toys and in-game stuff to hype up A Minecraft Movie, the first big live-action flick based on the blocky game. If you swung by McDonald’s and grabbed an adult or kids Happy Meal, you probably snagged a card with a code on it. That code’s your ticket to some exclusive in-game gear to tweak your characters.

This write-up’s here to walk you through redeeming that McDonald’s skin code and linking it to your account.

How to Redeem Minecraft Skin From McDonald's

You’ll need a browser for this, so have a phone, PC, or whatever device handy. Got the code? Fire up a browser—PC’s the way to go if you’ve got one—and head to Minecraft’s official site. Log into the account where you want the skin to land.

Type in that 25-digit code and give it a quick once-over before hitting redeem. You’ll see a page pop up showing what item’s tied to the code. Hit confirm, and it’s yours in the game. Open the Launcher, start the game, head to the main menu, and jump into the dressing room to tweak your character. Look for the new skin in your collection, slap it on, and you’re good to go.

McDonald’s and Mojang Studios worked together to drop five skins that pull from both the fast-food vibe and Minecraft’s world. You’ve got the Grimace Egg, Soda Potion, Zombie Hamburglar, Big Mac Crystal, and Birdie Wings to pick from.

What are these skins?

  • Grimace Egg: This skin turns Grimace, McDonald’s big purple mascot, into something egg-shaped—think of it as a nod to Minecraft’s mob spawn eggs. It’s got that signature purple vibe, likely with a smooth, rounded look inspired by Grimace’s milkshake-loving persona. Some descriptions hint it “emerges from the depths of a purple shake,” tying it to his modern resurgence with the 2023 Grimace Shake craze. In-game, it’s a full-body skin, probably keeping Grimace’s friendly, goofy face intact.
  • Soda Potion: Imagine a McDonald’s soda cup morphed into a Minecraft potion bottle. This skin’s got a fizzy, playful design—maybe a humanoid figure with a soda-inspired color scheme (silvers and blacks, like a cola vibe) and a cheeky smirk. It’s billed as having an “electrifying effect” with a “mysterious recipe of fizzy flavors,” so it might lean into Minecraft’s potion-brewing mechanics for its look. Posts on X call it funny and bizarre, perfect for running around looking like a walking drink.
  • Zombie Hamburglar: This one’s a spooky twist on McDonald’s burger-stealing bandit, the Hamburglar. Picture a zombie-fied version of his classic black-and-white striped outfit, maybe with a tattered cape and a hungry, undead expression. It’s described as a “hungry mob wandering biomes in search of hamburgers,” blending Minecraft’s zombie lore with Hamburglar’s burger obsession. Fans seem to dig its clean, detailed design—some even say the matching toy stands out for its polish.
  • Big Mac Crystal: A Big Mac turned into a shiny, crystalline block? This skin’s wild. It’s likely a humanoid figure rocking a yellow-and-red getup (McDonald’s colors) with a Big Mac as the head—or at least a blocky burger vibe. Sources say it’s “mined from a sea of special sauce,” with a glow from “melty cheese and a sesame seed bun,” so expect a glistening, gem-like texture. It’s oddball and eye-catching, possibly the most out-there of the bunch.
  • Birdie Wings: Birdie, the Early Bird from McDonald’s crew, gets a Minecraft upgrade with elytra-style wings—those rare gliding wings from the game. This skin’s probably got her in a winged outfit, ready to soar, with a nod to her “early bird” nickname. Descriptions mention her “soaring high above the clouds,” so it’s practical too—equip it, and you might feel like you’re flying over the Overworld. It’s a mix of cute and functional, appealing to players who like mobility.

These skins don’t just look cool—they’re tied to physical collectibles (toys) that come with the meals, each with a code to unlock the matching digital version. The promo’s been a hit, with some folks on X raving about the Hamburglar’s slick design and others joking about strutting around as a soda bottle. There’s no word yet on special in-game effects beyond looks, but they’re part of a broader McDonald’s Add-On pack (free via the McDonald’s app with meal purchase) that tosses in extra items like a Fry Helmet or Burger Crystals. Codes need redeeming by December 31, 2025, so they’re not sticking around forever.
