‘A Minecraft Movie’ collectables, digital perks
Customers can get one of 12 Block World toys, or one of six exclusive collectibles inspired by some of McDonald’s most beloved characters, menu items and popular “A Minecraft Movie” treasures, depending on the meal ordered.
The collectible included with each regular meal features a matching card and a code that customers can redeem in the Minecraft Marketplace. The code will unlock an exclusive digital costume, allowing players to change their character’s appearance in the game.
Here are the six characters you may find inside your bag:
- Big Mac Crystal: Mined from the sea of special sauce, this precious block derives its radiant shine from melty cheese and a toasty sesame-seed bun.
- Birdie Wings: Keep your eye to the sky, or you might miss the early bird soaring above the clouds with a rare pair of elytra wings.
- Fry Helmet: Forged from the iconic French Fry box, this enchanted helmet is rumored to protect you from friends stealing your last fry.
- Grimace Egg: Emerging from the depths of a purple shake, this magical Grimace character gets its shape from the most coveted egg.
- Soda Potion: The electrifying effect of this potion is as mysterious as its recipe: an accidental combo of fantastic fizzy flavors.
- Zombie Hamburglar: Imagine a figurine combining the features of McDonald’s famed Hamburglar with a Minecraft zombie.
Every “A Minecraft Movie” Meal purchased on the McDonald’s app also gives customers an in-game bonus at no extra cost. A one-time redeemable code will be sent to customers to unlock the McDonald’s Add-On pack in Minecraft, which includes additional components to your gameplay such as McDonaldland characters, builds and tools.
