LEGO Minecraft 21118 The Mine

LEGO Minecraft set 21118, The Mine, depicts a mine from the block-based world of the game. Released in 2014 within the Minecraft theme, it contains 922 pieces and presents an underground setting with armored Steve and hostile mobs.

Set 21118, The Mine, belongs to the early larger LEGO Minecraft releases. It turns one of the game’s core locations into a brick-built model: an underground mining area associated with exploration, resource gathering and encounters with hostile mobs.

The set suits builders who want a Minecraft mining scene for play, display or theme collecting. Compared with models centered on houses, farms or smaller outdoor builds, The Mine places the emphasis on underground exploration and the creatures connected with that part of the game.
