Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity not only helps you craft, it’s essential to your survival! Four misfits – Garrison “Garbage Man”, Henry, Natalie and Dawn – find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they’re suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into “Otherworld”: a bizarre cubic wonderland where survival depends on imagination. To get home, they must master this world (and protect it from evil creatures like piglins and zombies) while embarking on a magical expedition with an unlikely crafting expert, Steve (Blake). Their adventure will challenge the five to get up close and personal with their own unique creative talents… a skill they’ll need to thrive in the real world.
