If you’re a Minecraft fan, you’ve probably heard about Minecraft Legends. It’s the latest action-strategy addition to the Minecraft universe – think the classic sandbox Minecraft fused with epic storytelling and action-packed quests. It brings a fresh and immersive vibe to both new and seasoned Minecraft players.

What platforms can I play Minecraft Legends on?

When it comes to platforms you can play Minecraft Legends on, you’re pretty spoilt for choice. You can pick up Mojang Studio’s latest adventure on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch – so whatever your platform of choice, you’ll soon be mining your way to glory.

What’s the difference between Minecraft and Minecraft Legends?

Whilst Minecraft and Minecraft Legends share the same core, their gameplay experiences are uniquely different. Minecraft (the OG game) throws you into an open blocky world with no storyline, quests or anything remotely linear. You’re free to do whatever you want – build, survive, explore, farm and more. On the flip side, Minecraft Legends brings a fresh twist to the formula, introducing a rich narrative, quests and thrilling combat encounters.

In Minecraft Legends, the Piglins are threatening to take over the Overworld – and it’s up to you, the hero, to save it! You’ll embark on epic journeys, explore vast landscapes and meet diverse characters – you’ll even be able to team up with familiar mobs to advance your mission.

By jumping into quests and battles, you’ll unveil the secrets of a new adventure-filled universe. While both games share the same blocky aesthetic and core mechanics, Minecraft Legends expands upon them, delivering a more structured and story-driven experience.

Are there mods for Minecraft Legends?

One of Minecraft’s most defining features is its vibrant modding community, so mod fans will be chuffed to know that Minecraft Legends is taking this and running with it. Whilst the specifics of modding support in Minecraft Legends isn’t quite clear yet (the game only just released!), the game offers opportunities for players to customise and enhance their adventures through mods.

Whether you want to add new items, tweak gameplay mechanics or introduce new features, modders are probably hard at creative work behind the scenes – so look forward to some epic mods on the horizon.
