Minecraftis the most popular video game of all time. That is not a matter of opinion. It is an objective, quantifiable fact. With hundreds of millions of sales, this game outranks classics likeTetris,Super Mario Bros, and every singlePokemongame. Despite those games being decades older, none of them have been able to keep up with this strange little fantasy mining game in popularity. That success is understandable. Minecraft’s gameplay is satisfying, its premise and visual style were fresh when it was released, and its appeal is broad.
That kind of success is worth celebrating… with merch! There’s an enormous amount of Minecraft merch out there, so we made this list to help you dig through it all, and find the choicest products around.
Minecraft Creeper Plush
Luckily, it won’t blow up and destroy your house
This plushie is based on the creeper, one of Minecraft’s most iconic, recognizable, and destructive enemies. In a game where most of the bad guys are stock fantasy monsters, this creature stands out for its originality and destructive power.
The creeper is one of the most iconic enemies in Mincecraft. For the most part, Minecraft’sanachronistic fantasy world is full of stock fantasy monsters: zombies, skeletons, giant spiders, demons, all things that wouldn’t be out of place in aD&Dadventure.
As a result, the handful of more original monsters it contains stand out quite a bit, none more so than the creeper, the game’s most iconic creature. There is plenty of merch featuring this creature, including multiple plushies of it, but this high-quality one from Mattel is one of our favorites.
Minecraft Creeper Inside Black Top
An iconic monster
This children’s t-shirt, whose design shows a creeper bursting from a wall, comes sized for ages 5 to 15, and is perfect for any young Minecraft fan you might have in your care.
Speaking of creepers, here’s another product that celebrates those exploding beasts. This high-quality t-shirt shows a creeper emerging from the shirt as if it were a wall into which a hole had just been made, perhaps by a tremendous explosion. This shirt is, unfortunately, not available in adult sizes, but it’s perfect for young gamers, especially ones who happen to be enamored with this blocky game.
Ukonic Minecraft Storage Set
Hold a Minecraft block in your own hand
These 10-inch storage bins are modeled after four of Minecraft’s most iconic cubes, including TNT, a basic grass block, a creeper head and a crafting table. They can be used to store a variety of objects.
Often,the best merch is that which appears to be something from within the product it’s celebrating. For many franchises, it’s difficult to find good examples of this, but Minecraft is, fortunately, an exception. It’s full of simple, recognizable, easily-reproduced objects, including these iconic cubes.
These storage bins allow you to hold a grass block, crafting table, or Creeper head in your very own hands. They’re only ten inches across, but they can still be used to store quite a few things.
Minecraft Diamond Sword Light
After all, light defends you from monsters in this game
Modeled after the powerful diamond sword, this light is over a foot long, and its soft green glow is a great way of lighting up a gamer’s room at night.
Continuing the theme of things that look like things, this large, hangable lamp is modeled after the diamond sword, an iconic and powerful item from Minecraft. It’s the best non-magical sword you may get, and is a basic and essential tool for dealing with monsters in the middle and later stages of a playthrough. Though it doesn’t glow in the game, its light is thematically appropriate, due to the usefulness of light as a way of repelling monsters in-game.
Ukonic Minecraft LED Light
Keep things bright to keep those mobs from spawning
Modeled after two glowing objects from Minecraft, including the highly recognizable torch, this set of LED lights is a cute way to light up your gaming space in a variety of colors.
Speaking of lights, this pack of LED lights contains two products, bothmodeled after iconic Minecraft objects, this time ones that really do glow in-game. First, there’s the foot-long torch. The appeal of a light modeled to look like a Minecraft torch is relatively self-explanatory. Though it unfortunately does not come with a mount, sticking this product on your wall in the right way will replicate an iconic game element.
On top of that, you get a potion as well, whose color-changing light can match a wide variety of color schemes, and make it resemble a wide variety of the potions available in the game.
Minecraft Worldly Wall Poster
A map of the entire minecraft world
This high-quality poster presents an extremely detailed scene spanning many separate parts of Minecraft’s enchanting world, featuring a ton of different mobs and monsters, and quite a few different blocks.
It’s hard to believe that Minecraft was once rather small and simple, that the whole game started out with far fewer items and relatively few biomes. Don’t get us wrong, it always had a lot interesting going on, but it’s remarkable how much more and more true that’s become over the years, and this poster does a great job representing some of that.
Though this poster includes far from every biome, it still serves as a map of the Minecraft world’s basic elements. Appropriately vertical, it shows the surface, with its grass and trees, an extensive mine, and, beneath it all, the Nether. Speckled throughout are a wide variety of mobs, including animals and monsters. This product has so many intricate and interesting details, and you’ll be able to appreciate more almost every time you look at it.
Trends International Minecraft Window Wall Poster
A wonderful idea executed well
This high-quality poster once again puts you inside the Minecraft world, as it’s designed to appear to be a shelf and window as you might encounter them in the game, from which you’re able to see a setting sun.
This poster takes the idea of making you feel like you’re in Minecraft’s world to its conclusion. Though it’s less intricate than the previous one, the sheer brilliance of its concept makes it extremely appealing. Designed to imitate a few simple assets from within the Minecraft world, this poster creates the illusion that you are within a Minecraft house, looking out through a Minecraft window at a Minecraft sunset. The image’s color scheme is genuinely beautiful, despite its simplicity, and no miner’s home is complete without it.
Jay Franco Minecraft Creeper TNT Bath Rug
Go ahead. Use it. It’s not like anything will explode
This bath rug is modeled after the TNT block from Minecraft, which, as you’re probably aware, makes things explode. Though this object will fortunately not explode, it’s still fun and interesting for Minecraft fans.
There’s been a lot of home decor on this list. This is probably because Minecraft, as a game about home construction, features a lot of objects that can be incorporated into a home. In any case, we’re going to end off with another item along those lines. This bath rug can be placed in any bathroom, and is sure to bring at least a bit of amusement to all in the know who see it.

There’s a free trial that allows you to demo the basic gameplay, but the full version of the game has to be purchased.
