The adventure sequence from Jared Hess’s film “A Minecraft Movie” features a cozy ride through the redstone mines. Fans of the game will recognize elements such as redstone, piglins, and creepers. In the scene, Steve (Jack Black) brings Garrett (Jason Momoa) and Henry (Sebastian Hansen) to access his diamond stash, but they’re chased by a piglin biological superweapon.
To escape, they plan an action-packed mine cart ride using redstone to power their way out. Director Jared Hess worked with production designer Grant Major to build the sets practically and extend them with visual effects. The actors had fun coming up with the mine cart design, which allowed for both Black and Momoa to fit in the same cart.
Despite some discomfort from circulation issues, the actors completed the scene with laughter on set. It’s a lighthearted moment amidst an action-packed adventure sequence.
