In Minecraft Legends, players take on the role of a champion tasked with saving the Overworld from an impending Piglin invasion. You’ll have to roam the land protecting villages and taking out Piglin strongholds in order to save the day. But you won’t be taking on this epic task alone, as you’ll have plenty of skills and friends to help you along the way.
While mining for resources is still part of the game, it’s done in a much more passive way. Players will essentially lay down collection boxes for various materials and have their little sprite friends collect them while they deal with more pressing matters. Building is also a much quicker affair and players essentially just pick what they want to build and where to build it and it takes care of itself from there. Players can build things like your standard gates and walls along with archer towers, and other buildings that can give you access to more structures and units or help reinforce your defenses. The mechanics give Minecraft Legends a bit of a tower defense vibe to it, but there’s so much more going on here. And if you’re good at building in regular Minecraft a lot of those skills should come in handy when strategizing in Legends.
