Now that A Minecraft Movie is streaming on Max, viewers can enjoy one of the most successful films of the year from the comfort of their own homes. During its dominant theatrical run, the video game adaptation managed to gross a total of $954 million at the worldwide box office (via Box Office Mojo). Now, A Minecraft Movie has quickly become a hit on Max, as well.

Even though reviews for A Minecraft Movie were quite mixed, with Screen Rant’s own Mae Abdulbaki giving it a score of 4 out of 10, it has been a hit with younger audiences. Since it has been so popular, there is no doubt that a sequel to A Minecraft Movie will be greenlit soon.

However, since it will take at least a couple of years to make the sequel, it’s amazing that A Minecraft Movie is now streaming on Max. Even better, there are actually two versions of the film on the streaming service. In addition to the original version, A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition is also available on Max.

A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition Is A Special Version Of The Film

The Block Party Edition Is An Interactive Version Of The Movie

A Minecraft Movie was one of the most unique theatrical experiences of the year. Not long after its release, videos of theater audiences reacting to scenes from the film went viral online. In these videos, audience members would cheer, throw popcorn in the air, and even rip their clothes off while watching the most viral moments from A Minecraft Movie.

In response to these unexpected reactions, Warner Bros. released a special version of the film in theaters called the Block Party Edition. This version hit theaters on May 2, 2025, about a month after the film’s initial release, and includes words on the screen so that audiences can quote the movie’s most popular lines and sing-along to its songs.

Compared to the original version of the film, A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition is meant to be a more interactive experience. This proved to be a smart strategy for Warner Bros., as this release encouraged people to rewatch the movie in theaters, driving more ticket sales.

How A Minecraft Movie Is Different With The Block Party Edition

This Version Highlights A Minecraft Movie’s Most Popular Moments

A Minecraft Movie’s viral theater reactions quickly proved to be controversial, since many believed the over-the-top celebrations were disrespectful to other audience members. Therefore, the Block Party Edition was specifically made to encourage audience reactions, meaning it completely changes the experience of watching the movie.

Obviously, streaming A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition at home will be much different from watching it in theaters. Instead of watching the version of the movie that the director initially intended to be seen, the Block Party Edition is meant to highlight the most popular quotes and all the song lyrics to make it a more entertaining experience.

Therefore, when streaming A Minecraft Movie: Block Party Edition, expect a lot of the lines and lyrics to pop up on screen. This is definitely not the same as watching the original version of the movie, but is undoubtedly a unique viewing experience.

Should You Watch Minecraft’s Block Party Edition Instead Of The Regular Version?

Both Versions Of A Minecraft Movie Are Fun To Watch

Since both versions are available on Max, viewers will have to decide what edition of the movie they want to watch. If you missed A Minecraft Movie in theaters and it is your first time watching it, I would suggest watching the original version of the film. This is mainly because specific lines and lyrics showing up on the screen might be distracting on a first watch.

However, if you have seen A Minecraft Movie already, the Block Party Edition is a fun, new way to experience the film. Additionally, if you are watching the movie with children, they will likely enjoy the interactive elements of the Block Party Edition. Overall, it’s a lot of fun that there are two versions of A Minecraft Movie now available to stream on Max.
