Minecraft is expanding far beyond the screen, with Mojang Studios announcing Minecraft World, a new theme park land opening in 2027 at Chessington World of Adventures in the UK.
Revealed during Minecraft Live, the upcoming attraction will bring the game’s iconic biomes, mobs, and blocky style into a full-scale physical experience, marking the first time Minecraft has been adapted into a major theme park environment.
Minecraft World brings the Overworld to life
Minecraft World is being developed in partnership with Merlin Entertainments and will feature a range of attractions inspired directly by the game. Players can expect rides, interactive experiences, and themed environments that aim to recreate the feel of Minecraft in a real-world setting.
The land will include a world-first roller coaster, interactive adventures, and large-scale play areas designed around Minecraft’s building mechanics. There will also be themed dining and retail options, all built to match the game’s visual identity.
Mojang and Merlin are also working with Minecraft creators to ensure the experience feels authentic to fans, suggesting this will lean heavily on recognizable elements rather than a loose adaptation.
A second real-world experience arrives in 2026
Alongside the UK theme park, Mojang also revealed Minecraft Experience: Moonlight Trail, an outdoor interactive attraction opening in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in May 2026.
This nighttime experience will have visitors walking through Minecraft-inspired environments, crafting gear, mining resources, and battling mobs as they work to restore an ancient beacon. It is a smaller-scale project than Minecraft World, but still another sign that Mojang is pushing the brand into more physical, immersive spaces.
Tiny Takeover adds baby mobs and new features
On the game side, Mojang confirmed that the latest update, Tiny Takeover, is now live. The update introduces redesigned baby mobs across nearly every category in the game, giving them new visuals, animations, and sounds.
Animals like piglets, kittens, and chicks now feature more expressive designs, while even hostile mobs like zombies and piglins have received smaller variants. Some animals now also exhibit different “sound personalities,” adding more variation to farms and environments.
The update also introduces the Golden Dandelion, which allows players to keep baby mobs permanently young, as well as craftable name tags for the first time. Additional features include improvements to spawn egg parity and a new note block instrument that produces trumpet-like sounds based on copper oxidation.
Chaos Cubed teased as the next major update
Looking ahead, Mojang teased the next game update, currently titled Chaos Cubed, though it does not yet have a release date.
The update introduces a new Sulfur Cube, a physics-based block that changes behavior depending on the materials it absorbs. This system is designed to create unpredictable interactions and new gameplay possibilities. It will be found in Sulfur Caves, a new biome featuring sulfur pools, gas effects, and materials such as cinnabar.
These additions suggest Mojang is continuing to experiment with sandbox systems rather than simply expanding content linearly.
Minecraft Dungeons II also teased
Finally, Mojang confirmed that Minecraft Dungeons II is now available to wishlist, giving players an early signal that a follow-up to the original dungeon crawler is on the way.
A growing Minecraft universe beyond the game
Taken together, these announcements show how far Minecraft has expanded beyond its original format. Between theme parks, real-world experiences, and continued updates to the core game, Mojang is building something closer to a full ecosystem than a single title.
The biggest headline is still Minecraft World in 2027, but the broader takeaway is that Minecraft is continuing to grow in multiple directions at once.
