The Nether Flame Sauce is also available à la carte, allowing you to pair it with your favorite McDonald’s order.
Each A Minecraft Movie Meal includes one of six collectible items, drawing inspiration from McDonald’s beloved characters, iconic menu items, and legendary Minecraft treasures. Collect them all to stock up your inventory! Each collectible comes with a matching card and a code to unlock an exclusive Minecraft Marketplace skin.
Here are the six collectible items:
- Big Mac Crystal – Mined from a sea of special sauce, this shimmering block glows with melty cheese and a toasted sesame seed bun.
- Birdie Wings – Keep your eyes on the sky! This rare pair of elytra wings lets the early bird soar above the clouds.
- Fry Helmet – Crafted from McDonald’s iconic French Fry box, this enchanted helmet is rumored to protect your fries from sneaky friends.
- Grimace Egg – Emerging from the depths of a purple shake, this magical Grimace mob takes shape from the rarest egg of them all.
- Soda Potion – A mysterious mix of fizzy flavors, this electrifying potion’s effects are as unpredictable as its accidental recipe.
- Zombie Hamburglar – A wandering mob that spawns late at night, searching all biomes for hamburgers. Little is known about its true origins.
Fans who purchase A Minecraft Movie Meal through the McDonald’s App will also receive an exclusive in-game bonus—a one-time redeemable code to unlock the McDonald’s Add-On Pack in Minecraft. This special pack includes McDonaldland characters, unique builds, and tools, bringing even more creativity and adventure to your gameplay.
McDonald’s ‘A Minecraft Movie Happy Meal’ Comes with Exclusive Toys and Digital Quests
In addition to A Minecraft Movie Meal, McDonald’s is also dropping A Minecraft Movie Happy Meal, which is specially created for young Minecraft fans. Each order of this Happy Meal includes one of 12 film-inspired figurines or Block World toys. It also comes with a scannable code that unlocks an exclusive digital game, allowing players to embark on their own quest within the A Minecraft Movie world on www.happymeal.com.
“When approaching any partnership, we look for the authentic role our brand can play in it. McDonald’s fans had already created a presence in the Minecraft game long before the opportunity to partner with the new film,” said Jennifer “JJ” Healan, McDonald’s VP, U.S. Marketing, Brand, Content & Culture, in a press release. “So, we built upon what they started and created a totally immersive experience, custom A Minecraft Movie Meals in our restaurants, and collectibles that unlock unique in-game features. What’s special about this campaign is that every component will feel recognizable to both fan bases—a true merging of the McDonald’s and Minecraft universes.”
Both the A Minecraft Movie Meal and the A Minecraft Movie Happy Meal will be available at all McDonald’s locations across the United States starting April 1st.
