Minecraft is a massively popular video game where players explore, build, and survive in a blocky, pixelated 3D world. It’s a global phenomenon. Gamers can mine resources, craft tools and structures, battle monsters, or just create anything you can imagine — from simple houses to entire cities. It’s really fun and known for its very distinctive, chunky art style and its open-ended gameplay, meaning there’s no set goal unless you create one yourself.

It originally came out in 2011 and became one of the best-selling games ever. Kids, teens, and even adults are fascinated by it because you can play solo, with friends, or on huge online servers with tons of different game modes.

The next step of course was adapting the game into a movie. ​The Minecraft movie became a 2025 live-action fantasy adventure comedy inspired by the iconic sandbox video game. Directed by Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), the film stars Jason Momoa, Jack Black, Emma Myers, Danielle Brooks, and Sebastian Hansen. It premiered in London on March 30 and was released globally on April 4, 2025.

With the release of the Minecraft movie, EXG Pro has launched a new line of officially licensed device holders that combine practicality with beloved characters from the game. Featuring everything from full-sized Cable Guys to smaller Holdems, each figure is crafted to securely hold controllers, phones, and other accessories — all while bringing a bit of Minecraft charm to any setup.

These little guys are really cool and ideal for as gifts too. Minecraft’s original protagonist arrives in classic form. Whether you’re crafting by day or adventuring by night, Steve’s got your gear covered. Possibly gaming’s most infamous mob, the Creeper brings explosive personality (minus the detonation) to your gaming space. attle-hardened and fully geared, Diamond Steve is a premium pick for players who’ve earned their stripes, and their sparkle. Eerie, elegant, and unmistakably Minecraft. Enderman adds height and intrigue to any setup, but maybe don’t stare too long. And so much more. They’re so practical and will hold phones and remotes while you’re pausing the game.
