Minecraft just dropped an update that brings some cool stuff from A Minecraft Movie into the game. If you loved the film, you’ll get a kick out of these nods to it, including a super famous meme and a standout character.
A Minecraft Movie crushed it at the box office, even getting a special re-release called the Block Party Edition that got fans hyped up to sing and cheer. The original Minecraft game jumped on the hype train with A Minecraft Movie DLC, but now they’re tossing in two free items for movie fans.
After the Chase the Skies and Vibrant Visuals update, Minecraft is adding two new things tied to A Minecraft Movie. You’ve got the Dennis painting and the Lava Chicken music disc. If you haven’t seen the movie, Dennis is Steve’s wolf buddy, and Steve, played by Jack Black, is totally obsessed with him after taming him. Now you can grab a blocky picture of the dog in-game. The Lava Chicken music disc plays an instrumental version of Steve’s Lava Chicken song from the film.
Minecraft Dennis Painting and Lava Chicken Music Disc Availability
Minecraft has two main versions, Java and Bedrock, and the Dennis painting is out now for both. The Lava Chicken music disc, though, is only in Java Edition for now. Mojang says it’ll hit Bedrock “soon,” but they didn’t give a specific date. If you’re on Java and want the disc, you’ll need to hunt down and take out a Chicken Jockey for a shot at getting it.
A Minecraft Movie had a rough road to release, with plans kicking off back in 2014 before finally hitting theaters in 2025. But a sequel’s already in the works, and it’s moving faster. They’re calling it “Another Minecraft Movie” for now, though that name might change. Jack Black’s wild performance as Steve sparked a ton of memes that helped make the movie a hit, so it’s a safe bet the filmmakers will want him back. No word yet on whether he, Jason Momoa, or other original cast members will return, though.
