Crafting Table Details
Launched last summer in celebration of Minecraft’s 15th anniversary, The Crafting Table pays tribute to the game’s foundational building block, showcasing an array of beloved biomes and characters. The design mirrors the in-game utility block, complete with a 3 x 3 crafting grid on top and pixelated tools adorning each side, all in a color scheme that resonates with the game’s aesthetic. What truly sets this Lego version apart is its adjustable diorama format, which highlights fan-favorite biomes from the Minecraft universe.
The model features five small-scale, modular builds representing various biomes: Taiga with Dripstone Cave, Ice Spikes with Igloo, Deep Dark with Lush Cave, Cherry Grove with Abandoned Mineshaft, and Plains with Village. In total, a dozen Minecraft biomes are encapsulated across these five builds. Enthusiasts can creatively remove two walls to construct a scene inside the Crafting Table, utilizing all five miniature builds. The modular design allows for repositioning the models, offering flexibility in display options, whether inside the Crafting Table or arranged outside it.
Additionally, the diorama includes eight microfigures: Steve, Alex, Creeper, Villager, Pig, Cow, Skeleton, and Witch. These characters can be showcased within the diorama or placed on the two placards located on the front right and left, which feature six swappable faceplates adorned with stickers displaying five phrases from the game along with the iconic Minecraft logo. The completed Crafting Table diorama measures 5.5 x 6 x 6 inches, making it a delightful addition to any collection.

This 665-piece set has quickly gained popularity, emerging as one of the most sought-after Lego sets in the Minecraft franchise, second only to the Minecraft Advent Calendar. Its appeal lies in its faithful recreation of the franchise’s most recognizable mascot, all at an accessible price point.
The Creeper model stands over 8 inches tall and features movable head and legs, along with a compartment in its head designed to store the included TNT block and a Creeper figure, reflecting the mob’s original design. Notably, the Creeper’s face can be removed to access the storage compartment, adding an interactive element to the build.
