A Minecraft Movie Ending Explained: What That Post-Credits Scene Means

After a long wait, the Minecraft Movie has arrived in cinemas! It’s been more than ten years since it was first announced that Warner Bros. and Mojang Studios were collaborating on a movie adaptation. Along the way, several writers and directors have been involved, but now, with Jared Hess, director of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, at the helm, the film is finally here. Not only does it hint at potential sequels, but let’s examine its intriguing ending, especially that post-credits scene featuring a fascinating cameo.

Heads up: This discussion reveals all the secrets of A Minecraft Movie. If you haven’t watched it yet, better skip this text to avoid spoilers. For those who have already seen it, let’s delve into the film’s finale without any more delay.

The end

After Steve (Jack Black) and his companions manage to vanquish Margosha and her piglin forces, safeguarding the Overworld from Nether beings, it is now time for their departure back to reality. Although Steve had intended to remain in the Overworld he’d come to regard as his own, he eventually agrees with his human comrades to rejoin them (alongside his cubic wolf, Dennis).

In my gaming world, life back on Earth is flourishing – a genuine, heartwarming conclusion. I, as Henry Sebastian Hansen, have mastered the rocket pack I had been fiddling with at the film’s start, now soaring to school like never before. Natalie Emma Myers has discovered her true passion in teaching self-defense, drawing strength from her Overworld battles against piglins. Dawn Danielle Brooks has abandoned her real estate ventures to pour herself into her mobile zoo idea, which unexpectedly seems to be booming. And let’s not forget Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison, played by Jason Momoa – well, you know what he’s up to!

In the movie, I was initially portrayed as an ex-video game champion with a struggling store, but things have taken a turn for the better! Now, I’ve teamed up with Steve to modernize my old video game store. It’s been given a fresh Minecraft makeover, and it’s no longer stuck in the past! Alongside my friends, I’m doing great, and even Vice Principal Marlene (Jennifer Coolidge) has her own share of happiness in the end. A heartwarming conclusion for all!

Following a significant portion of the film on an extended date with a villager from the Overworld who crossed into reality, these two characters appear content together, and surprisingly, the villager now communicates in human language. One of the film’s most delightful surprises comes from the voice acting of Matt Berry, star of What We Do in the Shadows.

The post-credits scene

After the ending credits finish playing, an additional scene unfolds. In this scene, Steve makes his way back to his original home. Upon knocking at the door, he discovers a red-haired woman inside. To his surprise, the house now belongs to someone else. However, a chest left in the attic is still there. The pivotal moment arrives during their introductions – the woman identifies herself as Alex, who turns out to be the female character from Minecraft.

In 2014, Alex joined the game to serve as Steve’s rival, and, as per Hess, could be a harbinger of future events.

[The Minecraft universe] is vast,” he shared with TopMob. “With countless biomes, numerous unique characters and creatures yet unexplored, it’s a world that’s far from being fully captured. Alex, much like Steve, is one of the highly recognizable figures in this universe. It’s impossible to encapsulate everything in just one film, so we must strategically plan out our storytelling. However, should this first attempt prove successful, we are eager to delve deeper into the Minecraft world again.

Speaking as an ardent fan, I wholeheartedly resonate with Torfi Frans Olafsson’s sentiments. Beyond the realms we currently explore, there are countless other dimensions, creatures, and playstyles in Minecraft yet to be discovered. The beauty of this game lies in its versatility, played uniquely by each player. Consequently, the possibilities for adventure and creativity are truly boundless.

It’s important to mention that although Alex’s distinctive red hair appears in the scene, her face remains unseen. This suggests that the character does have a role, but as of now, it seems like they haven’t found an actor to portray her yet.

Currently playing in cinemas, here’s the latest take on the big-screen adaptation of Minecraft. TopMob’s critique of the film awarded it a 7, summarizing that the movie aligns perfectly with its trailer previews. It’s essentially a lively, action-packed flick overflowing with amusing humor, Minecraft allusions, and a distinctly dreamlike Minecraft universe, featuring an assortment of the game’s iconic creatures and our brave human protagonists.
