The first details about the rumored LEGO Minecraft 18+ set have surfaced, and it looks like the LEGO set is borrowing a similar concept from its other video game theme.
Word of the first LEGO 18+ Minecraft set first surfaced in November 2023, but its likely contents remain a mystery so far. Instagram user exabrickslegogo_ reports that 21265 has been codenamed “work table” and will feature open workbenches on both sides and a miniature world with a variety of different terrains.
If that sounds familiar, well, it should: The LEGO Group has already tried something in the same wheelhouse with the 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block, a giant yellow box that hides multiple worlds and levels from the world of Super Mario. 21265 These brief details about the worktable suggest that we’re looking at basically the same thing from a Minecraft perspective.
The locations included in the miniature world of the Minecraft set will be a swamp, a village, a cherry blossom garden and “ice spikes”. It is also believed to contain eight small figures, probably constructed on a microscopic scale rather than as figurines. There’s not much wiggle room in the price of a large item: the 21265 worktable is rumored to cost $89.99 for 1,195 pieces. That’s less than half the price of 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark blocks.
This answers the question of what a LEGO Minecraft 18+ set might look like, although the theme is otherwise almost entirely made up of relatively simple block builds (appropriately for the source material). Reducing objects to a microscopic scale can not only make the model stand out from the rest of the theme, but also give a more complex and involved building experience.
21265 Worktable is now expected to launch on August 1, 2024. Check out the entire 2024 list below.

I like to think of myself as a journalist first and a LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism runs through my veins, though, like a strange kind of literary blood—the kind that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced art defect. It’s like smoking, only worse. Luckily, I can write about LEGO until then.
