Plot[edit | edit source]
![](https://cdn.statically.io/img/minecraft.wiki/images/thumb/Minecraft_Legends_key_art.png/300px-Minecraft_Legends_key_art.png?94351)
Minecraft Legends is a story grounded as a legend lost to time that is now remembered only in a powerful tale passed down from villager to villager. The legend itself tells of a great hero who saved the Overworld by uniting every mob against an invasion by the ravenous piglins before their Nether corruption devours the Overworld and everything with it.[8]

Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Minecraft Legends is a strategy game with some action elements. In the game, the player takes on the third person perspective of a great hero who must defend settlements & villages, create outposts, make allies with mobs, and fight hordes of piglins to stop the spread of their Nether corruption within a procedurally generated world. The game allows the player character to direct and give directions to allies, as well as to gather resources to build structures. [8] The game includes random world generation that is different from Minecraft with mobs and biomes. The player character’s primary objective is to gather resources in the world to build defenses against the piglins. The game supports multiplayer gameplay with up to 8 players, 4 on each team, where they can either challenge other player characters for a battle or team up to defeat opponents.[9][10]
Minecraft Legends began first as an idea before Mojang Studios decided to collaborate with a Vancouver-based studio called Blackbird Interactive (who also developed Minecraft Earth) to develop the game as a Minecraft strategy game.[8]
Bosses[edit | edit source]
Minecraft Legends has a total of 4 bosses. 3 of them appear after you clear all of the bases of each horde, and one appears after you defeat the other three. They are:
- The Beast
The Beast is a boss enemy and the leader of the Horde of the Hunt. It can be fought after all of the Horde of the Hunt bases are destroyed. It is fast and highly destructive with it tearing through structures. Sometimes at night, it launches an attack on a random village.
- The Devourer
The Devourer is a boss enemy and the leader of the Horde of the Spore. It has lots of overgrowth and fungi growths coming off its body and resemble that of a zombie-like life form. It can be fought after all of the Horde of the Spore bases are destroyed.
- The Unbreakable
The Unbreakable is a boss enemy and the leader of the Horde of the Bastion. It can be fought after all of the Horde of the Bastion bases are destroyed. The Unbreakable is a large Piglin with lots of gold trimming, including a golden Mohawk, shoulder guard, and gauntlet. It also carries a large pack on its back which acts as a flamethrower. It also has an iron jaw.
- The Great Hog
The Great Hog is the final boss enemy of Minecraft Legends and the leader of all three Piglin hordes. It can be fought after all of the hordes are defeated. This boss appears at The Well of Fate. It has red skin, a magic weapon in one hand, a spear in the other. Defeating it completes the game and results in all remaining piglins and their structures disappearing.
