Got a gamer at home who would love nothing more than to celebrate their birthday with an epic adventure into the real world, inspired by the blocky landscapes of Minecraft?
Our guide on how to throw the ultimate Minecraft themed party is all you need to throw the mini gamers in your life an unforgettable birthday party.
From building challenges to pixelated tableware, here are some Minecraft party ideas.
1. Invitations
Without invitations you won't have any guests!
Make sure all you kids' friends know about the most epic party of the year with our Minecraft themed invitations.
Include fun Minecraft phrases like "Join us for a block-building bonanza!" or "Craft your way to [Name]'s birthday bash!" to let everyone know what the theme is (just incase they couldn't tell).
2. Decorations
If there's one thing we definitely know about parties it's that decorations can make or break a theme!
Our official Minecraft Decorations are the perfect way to transform your space into a Minecraft wonderland.
From Minecraft banners to balloons we've got everything you need to make your gamers day.
If you want to get crafty and get the birthday boy or girl involved collect cardboard boxes and paint them green or brown to resemble creepers and dirt blocks.
3. Minecraft Fancy Dress
If you really want to transport to the Minecraft world fancy dress is a great way to immerse everyone into the bulding world.
Whether you assign a character to each child or let them pick their favourite this is a great way to bring their favourite characters to life.
We have a great collection of gaming fancy dress or you could get the kids involved with some carboard boxes and paint.
4. Food and Drink
Keep your party guests energised for all the building with some Minecraft themed food and drink.
TNT Treats
- Make rice crispy treats shaped like TNT blocks and decorate them with red icing for an explosive touch.
Potion Punch
- Create colorful fruit punch or lemonade in glass bottles labeled with potion names like "Speed Potion" or "Healing Potion".
Minecraft Cookies
- Bake sugar cookies shaped like Minecraft tools, blocks, and characters, and decorate them with royal icing in vibrant colors.
5. Minecraft Party Games
Apart from obviously playing Minecraft at your party there are plenty of game ideas that use things around the house and will add some fun to your celebrations. If the weathers good you can also take these games outside!
Mining Expedition
Hide small Minecraft-themed items or treasures (like plastic gems or small toys) in a designated play area. Provide each participant with a "pickaxe" (a foam sword or plastic toy pickaxe) and have them search for the hidden treasures. The player who collects the most treasures within a time limit wins.
Creeper Hunt
Hide paper or plush Creeper figures around the party area. Provide participants with a checklist or map and have them search for the hidden Creepers. The one who finds the most within a time limit wins a prize.
Build-off Competition
Set up a designated building area with tables and plenty ofbuilding blocks or Minecraft-themed building materials. Have the kids build their best structures within a time limit. You can assign themes like castle, modern house, or underwater base to make it a bit more difficult. You could make the birthday boy or girl the judge or send the parents out of the room and let them vote once builds are complete.
Ender Pearl Toss
Set up a series of targets you could use buckets or hula hoops at varying distances and give each distance a point score. Take turns tossing beanbags or balls (Ender Pearls) into the targets, the player with the highest score after a set number of throws wins.
Pin the Tail on the Pig
A Minecraft twist on the classic party game. Create a large poster of a Minecraft pig without its tail. Blindfolded participants take turns trying to pin the tail you could use a paper cut out, sticker or piece of pink string in the correct spot. Whoever gets closest wins.
6. Party Bags
The party might be over but the fun doesnt have to be.
Send all your guests home with a Minecraft party bag, fill the bags with a pair of pixelated glasses, stickers and chocolate coins.
Now that you've got all the Minecraft party ideas you need we hope you have the most epic day celebrating your mini gamer! For more party inspiration discover our full collection of gaming party supplies including Pokemon, Super Mario and more.
