Summary

Videogame movie adaptations, like theMinecraftmovie for example, are an odd thing.

And that doesnt always work out well.

We take a look at all the cameos you’ll find in A Minecraft Movie.

A pig wearing a crown in the left of the background and LDShadowLady in the right. Jack Black as Steve in the center.

However, theres also quite a few things they dont get right.

Heres everything the Minecraft movie got wrong about Minecraft.

Although it did get added as part of a special movie tie-in event.

A Minecraft Movie: The various mobs that appear throughout the movie.

Theres no shape, its just a big pile of scrap.

In Minecraft the game you oughta put resources in a specific pattern to create a certain item.

Filling up your crafting table like that in the game would do nothing.

Guns in general are also not a thing that’s craftable in the Minecraft game.

9The Nether

A Familiar Place With A New Look

Next up we have the Nether.

In the Minecraft movie however, this entire zone is just black.

A Minecraft Movie: A large group of angry piglins and garret crafting.

7Malgosha

How Did You Get In Charge Exactly?

We cant bring up the Piglins without turning the spotlight on Malgosha.

If you werent familiar with the game you would think shes a character in it, but shes not.

A Minecraft Movie: Garret creating chained buckets in the movie.

A competition about creativity held by a species thats intolerant toward creatives, make it make sense.

This is not something the games ever touch upon, feature or mention in any way.

Its completely shoe-horned in for the movie.

A Minecraft Movie: The nether looking different to its interpretation in the game.

And unfortunately Malgosha is now in the game post-movie release as part of a special tie-in add-on.

They don’t turn up and monologue at you whilst you’re playing the game.

But its on top of the creature, not underneath.

A Minecraft Movie: A cgi created army of piglins in the nether.

Also according to the movie, Ghasts fire their explosive projectiles when their tentacles are stabbed or tugged.

So thats another mark against the movie’s authenticity.

The original Minecraft score apart from the Overworld theme song Minecraft are not there either.

A Minecraft Movie: Malgosha on her throne as another smaller piglin approaches.

Instead thats ripped out and we get pop music and lots of Jack Black singing.

5Zombie Durability

Can They Actually Be Killed Without Sunlight?

Another thing the Minecraft movie gets wrong about the games is how durable the Zombies are.

A Minecraft Movie: The piglin air force arrive.

Although, a few sword smacks or arrow shots and youre fine.

In the movie theyre not really shown as a threat.

Sure they vaguely paw at Garret, but thats about it.

A Minecraft Movie: A disarmed zombie being hit with its own arm by Jack Black.

We even see one getting the snot kicked out of it as a gagg during a casual conversation.

None of this happens in the game.

And you should probably also have that particular item in your inventory, as well as a specified amount.

A Minecraft Movie: A creeper flashing right before it blows up.

Here are the best easter eggs in A Minecraft Movie!

Plus it’s innacurate to the game.

Now Minecraft can be run on a lot of things, including phones.

A Minecraft Movie: Jack Black using both his hands to mime building a house of dirt.

But we see it running split-screen multiplayer using an arcade stick setup.

Each player has one stick and a handful of buttons, how is that optimised?

At a 2013 Minecon event a Super Mario cabinet was converted to run Minecraft.

A Minecraft Movie: A game that’s not supposed to be minecraft but actually is, ported onto an arcade cabinet for the movie.

But it was singleplayer only and used both sticks.

This is an Iron Golem thats created by Henry by combining a Golem with Boots Of Swiftness.

Which allows it to move at super speed and jump incredibly high.

A Minecraft Movie: A Non-Hostile Iron Golem Spotted Walking Through The Village.
