The Minecraft booth showcased Minecraft Dungeons II, released on Tuesday, September 29, 2026.
Evolving significantly beyond its predecessor, the title is a full-fledged hack-and-slash action RPG that allows players to freely explore a vast open world.

Outside the booth, a Blue Creeper was walking around.
Looking as though it had materialized directly from the game, countless Minecraft fans eagerly pointed their cameras toward it.

Right next to the demo kiosks was the interactive attraction BLUE CREEPER BATTLE, where participants teamed up to take down a colossal Creeper.

Players attack by swinging replica swords and axes straight out of Minecraft!
Damage numbers appeared on the Creeper in real time matching their physical movements.

Final score

Whenever the Creeper began flashing and seemed ready to detonate, participants had to take a step back and take cover.
Players chained attacks together aiming for high scores!
Offering an experience that felt just like stepping directly into the world of Minecraft, visitors were visibly thrilled as they took on the interactive challenge.

Recreating Minecraft items

In the corner of an open bench area accessible to anyone, decorations recreating Minecraft's familiar Chests and Dirt Blocks were set up.

Right in the middle of the bench sat a Trapdoor alongside the message "Try opening it!"
What happens when you lift the lid...?




Four block variations appear

It was a delightful, playful gimmick where a different design appeared each time you opened it!
Some children were happily opening and closing it over and over.
It was hard to resist peeking inside again and again.
