Alright, folks. Dust off your pickaxe and charge your hunger bar, because McDonald’s is diving headfirst into the pixelated world of Minecraft—and they’re bringing fries.
Starting April 1 in the U.S. (and March 26 in the U.K. for our international miners), McDonald’s is releasing a limited-time Minecraft Movie Meal that promises to be the most delicious block you’ll ever bite into.
Yes, this is real. No, you don’t have to mine it yourself.
What’s in the Box? A Feast Worth Crafting
The Minecraft Movie Meal isn’t just a random combo slapped together with a gimmicky label—it’s an actual curated experience for gamers and fast food lovers alike. You’ll be able to choose between:
- A Big Mac – Because what’s more iconic than a towering burger full of special sauce and nostalgia?
- 10-Piece Chicken McNuggets – Perfect for stacking, sharing, or hoarding like a Minecraft diamond stash.
Of course, both options come with medium fries and a medium drink, because we’re civilized and we need hydration while exploring the Overworld (or the drive-thru).
But the real showstopper? The brand-new Nether Flame Sauce. Think spicy, smoky, a little sweet, and definitely not for the faint of heart.
Inspired by Minecraft’s fiery Nether dimension, this sauce combines crushed red pepper, cayenne, garlic, and a whisper of sweetness to set your taste buds on fire—in a good way. It’s the kind of heat that makes you go, “Okay, okay, wait, that’s hot—lemme dip one more fry.”
The Toys Are Next-Level (Literally)
In true McDonald’s style, the Minecraft Movie Meal comes with a collectible toy—but not just any ol’ plastic trinket. We’re talking blocky, pixel-perfect creations that bring McDonald’s mascots into the Minecraft universe like they were born there. You could find one of these gems in your box:
- Big Mac Crystal – A glittering, burger-infused mineral straight outta a McDonald’s mine.
- Birdie Wings – Like elytra, but sassier and bird-approved.
- Fry Helmet – Armor made from golden fries? Yes please.
- Grimace Egg – A purple enigma that may or may not hatch into chaos.
- Soda Potion – No idea what it buffs, but it looks cool and it fizzes.
- Zombie Hamburglar – The creepiest burger bandit in all biomes.
Each figure comes with a collectible card and a code to unlock exclusive in-game content on the Minecraft Marketplace—because even your avatar deserves to feel fancy.
But Wait—There’s a Happy Meal, Too!
For the younglings (or grown-ups who just really want the toy without committing to a Big Mac), McDonald’s also has Minecraft Movie Happy Meals.
These come with one of 12 film-inspired figures or toys from the blocky cinematic universe. And, you guessed it, there’s also a scannable code that launches a digital adventure tied to the movie. Because McDonald’s knows you don’t just want nuggets—you want quests.
Power Up with the App
Here’s where it gets even cooler. If you order the Minecraft Movie Meal through the McDonald’s app, you’ll score a one-time code to unlock the exclusive McDonald’s Add-On Pack in Minecraft.
This isn’t just a burger-shaped sword (though that would be awesome)—we’re talking full builds, McDonaldland characters, and themed tools to transform your pixelated world into a golden-arched paradise.
Mark Your Crafting Tables
This whole tasty crossover kicks off April 1 (not a joke—we promise) and is here for a limited time only. The meal launch is perfectly timed with the upcoming Minecraft Movie, hitting theaters April 4, so you can literally eat your way into the hype.
So whether you’re a veteran Redstone engineer or just someone who loves dipping McNuggets into mysterious sauces, the Minecraft Movie Meal is a flavorful little detour into digital-meets-delicious territory. It’s food. It’s fun. It’s fandom. And you don’t even have to punch a tree to get it.
