A new batch of LEGO Minecraft sets will expand the theme this summer, with the display focused 21595 The Ender Dragon and 21594 The Skeleton, plus the play focused 21596 Evoker Village Attack and 21592 Chicken Jockey Desert Attack.
LEGO Minecraft is offering four new sets that present buildable display models and minifigure scale play models, covering the Ender Dragon, Skeleton, Evoker Village and Chicken Jockey. All of the new sets feature in-game unlocks, adding a bit of extra value beyond the bricks.
All of the new sets launch on June 1.
21595 The Ender Dragon
Pieces: 710
Price: £54.99 / $59.99 / €69.99
Buy the set
Although it looks like it would be a lot of fun to swoosh around the room, 21595 The Ender Dragon is designed for display rather than play. It is built onto a display stand and is depicted flying over an exit portal. The set is reminiscent of Harry Potter 75979 Hedwig.
When you crank the handle on the base, the Ender Dragon’s wings flap, then there is articulation in its limbs for different dynamic poses. The set also provides a code to redeem an set of digital Ender Dragon wings that can be downloaded into the Minecraft game.
21594 The Skeleton
Pieces: 502
Price: £39.99 / $39.99 / €44.99
Buy the set
The latest brick-built character in LEGO Minecraft is 21594 The Skeleton, built with spindly legs, a ribcage and a blocky head. There’s a bow and arrow to place in the character’s hand and a base to keep the upscaled minifigure upright. The diamond helmet is designed so that the skeleton can be displayed with or without it.
As well as the bricks, the set includes a digital diamond skull cap for use in the Minecraft video game.

This figure packed set includes 11 characters and three locations, providing a good entry point into the LEGO Minecraft world. 21596 Evoker Village Attack provides a mason villager, librarian villager, evoker, iron golem, Raccoon Adventurer, Undying Protector, three vexes, a sheep and a cat.
The box builds a mason’s house with a stone cutter and block of clay, an animal pen with a hay bale attached to the side, a library with a bed, lectern and bookshelves, a garden with carrots, beetroot and wheat, and a meeting point with a bell.
As well as the model, the set includes a digital evoker hooded mantle and vex plumed wings to use in the Minecraft game.
21592 Chicken Jockey Desert Attack
Pieces: 428
Price: £19.99 / $24.99 / €24.99
Buy the set
The focus of 21592 Chicken Jockey Desert Attack is on the larger buildable iron golem, but it also includes five other figures to construct – a baby husk, chicken, rabbit, baby villager and baby wolf. The baby husk can sit on the back of the chicken to become a chicken jockey.
The set also includes a collar to tame the wild baby wolf and the golem has an arm-swinging attack function when you press the model’s head.
These four new models add to the collection that debuted earlier this year, which Design Manager Joe Kyde talked about at EGX London.
Many more new sets have been announced, for City, Bluey, Minecraft, Disney, Friends, Fortnite, Harry Potter, NINJAGO and Chinese Festivals.
