Venture into the familiar yet dangerous world of Minecraft as a team of intrepid explorers, racing against time to discover precious treasures hidden beneath the blocky terrain before darkness falls and monsters claim the land.

Your expedition begins with nothing but determination and a shared goal: fill your treasure chests before the creatures of the night make exploration impossible. Each landscape tile holds secrets waiting to be uncovered—valuable resources, powerful tools like pickaxes and swords, and the glittering treasures you desperately need. But every step forward brings new risks, as the shadows grow longer and more dangerous with each passing moment.

The clock ticks ominously as monster cards accumulate, bringing Zombies shambling from dark corners, Creepers lurking with explosive intent, and the dreaded Endermen watching from afar. When creatures already stalking the land appear again, chaos erupts as hordes multiply and spread across your expedition. Work together, choose your explorations wisely, and gather what treasures you can—because once the monster deck runs dry, your adventure ends in defeat. Only the most coordinated teams will escape with their chests full and their lives intact.

What Matthew says

"How do you approach designing a game based on a one of the biggest video games of all time? This was a question that bugged me for quite a while in the early stages of design. In the end, I chose to focus on the aspect I liked the most from Minecraft - the feeling of cresting a hill and looking out a new landscape, wondering what surprises lie in wait. I aimed to distil down this excitement and curiosity into a fast playing, easy to learn cooperative game, and Minecraft Explorers was born."
