    25 Minecraft Birthday Party Ideas

    Published: Aug 13, 2013 · Modified: Nov 15, 2023 by burntapple · This post may contain affiliate links · 30 Comments

    An incredible Minecraft Birthday Party can be put together in minutes with these simple themed ideas! Over twenty five different resources to throw your best party yet!

    A collage of 25 Minecraft birthday party ideas. The ideas include decorations, food, and games.

    Minecraft Birthday Party

    Are your kids into Minecraft? I've really, REALLY tried to be. They call me every few minutes while they are playing to show me some two story house they built with a pool, or shout "come quick Mom! It's a creeper!!!" and then some pixelated supposed zombie thing crosses the screen.

    Maybe that's my problem with Minecraft. My generation had Atari, Mario in it's infancy and that worm game.

    Since that time it's been a never ending quest for my generation to fight for our posterity by offering better graphics, more realistic looking games and games with increasingly more difficult skill level.

    So why go back in time?

    I just don't get it. But maybe that's the great thing about having kids--I'm not meant to "get it" anymore.

    But I can throw one great Minecraft Party for them. With my son turning eight, I knew we were going to have a Minecraft Party. Have you looked at the stores? There aren't any Minecraft decorations to fall back on as a quick and easy solution for a party. So it was time to fall back on option #2--the DIY version.

    We searched and scoured the internet for great ideas and while we borrowed some ideas from other sites, we did come up with a few of our own new ones too. Okay, 25 different resources to be exact!

    CREEPER BALLOON GARLAND

    minecraft party ideas
    Balloon Garland by Burnt Apple

    Creeper balloons: We blew up balloons in blue, green and black and strung them on a garland. We then cut out Minecraft figure faces and glued or taped them to them.

    MINECRAFT BANNER

    minecraft party ideas
    Minecraft Garland by Burnt Apple

    A simple and easy banner, we cut out scraps of construction paper into even sized squares. We then hot glued the tops of the banner to a ribbon and made a garland. Afterwards, we took lettering and spelled out "Minecraft Party."

    CREEPER JUICE

    Creeper Juice by Burnt Apple

    Covering a pitcher with a ribbon of scrapbook paper was simple and easy to do. Write "creeper juice" and stick whatever you want in it. We made lemonade and cut up fresh fruit.

    HEROBRINE CAKE

    Okay, so this is NOT my proudest of cakes. (See picture in collage above). But when I posted it on Instagram I got a few nods of sympathy. THANK YOU! We made a 9x13 inch chocolate cake (we followed the Hersheys recipe) and frosted it with the Hershey's Perfectly Chocolate Frosting, saving ½ cup for later use. I then made a separate Hershey's cake but halved the recipe and put that into squared brownie pans and baked them. When I pulled them out I let them cool then cut them into small cubes. I made this buttercream recipe for one and kept a teaspoon of it white and dyed the remaining green with my Nature's Flavors natural food dyes.  I then dipped the tops of the cubes into chocolate, white, or green frosting and pressed the cubes into the top of the chocolate cake until I assembled a Herobrine cake.

    MINECRAFT OUTDOOR PARTY IDEAS

    AMAZON MINECRAFT DECORATIONS

    Lo and behold, there actually are some decorations available to purchase for a Minecraft party. While some of the prices are alittle over my budget, there are some fun items you might want for your party from Amazon. Although I don't quite know what to think about the above creeper heads. But it could work for Halloween.

    MINECRAFT COAL

     What to use this for? The possibilities seem endless! While the author originally used it as Christmas coal, you could also make "Minecraft Coal" and use it as a snack, a thank you for coming to the party, or attached to a birthday invitation.

    MINECRAFT TNT GAME

    Coke and Mentos is a popular game with kids, so why not make it resemble TNT? We loved this fun and inexpensive game idea that any kid would love to experiment with. She also came up with a great Digging for Diamonds game too!

    MINECRAFT INSPIRED WEDDING PROPS?

    minecraft wedding
    This Minecraft Wedding Also Has Some Great Ideas for Birthday's Too!

    Okay, I'm trying to come up with Minecraft birthday props, not wedding props. However, when I saw these life sized boxes wrapped in paper to resemble pigs, sheeps and other Minecraft inspired animals on Yahoo I thought it would be so fun to include in a photo prop booth or as a decoration for your own party. See, I haven't lost my mind...yet.

    MINECRAFT PAPER CRAFT

    These printable Minecraft papers crafts would be a perfect craft for your party or great for your child who loves to assemble things. (I'm bookmarking it for a rainy day craft). You can also use them for table decorations or even an inexpensive cake topper.

      Hello and thank you for this round-up! I can't believe, almost a year after you initially posted this, that things really haven't progressed in terms of the stores catching on to the Minecraft craze. Here in the UK I found one party company that offers Minecraft parties and they quoted me £600 (almost $1000) - and that excludes venue hire, food and cake! That's just a BIT over my budget, so I'm going the DIY route. One thing I've found, that you don't have on here, is a YouTube playlist of Minecraft 'parody' music videos based on current hits. I'm planning to project that onto a wall and do a Minecraft 'disco' of sorts. Fingers crossed! I may blog about it when I'm done and, if I do, will link back to your post. Cheers!

      Great ideas! The crafting side of things is perfect as it gets the kids involved, gives them a break from the game 🙂

    • A mason jar filled with a Sonic-style Dirty Dr Pepper sits on a rustic white wooden surface. The drink is dark brown, filled with ice, and has visible carbonation bubbles on top. A fresh lime wedge is perched on the rim of the jar, while two additional limes, one whole and one sliced in half, rest nearby on the table. The background features a weathered wood texture, adding to the casual, homemade aesthetic.

    • Top-down view of a white plate with a folded scrambled egg and avocado with salsa. The omelet is topped with slices of bright green avocado and a spoonful of chunky red salsa. A silver fork lies across the omelet. To the left of the plate is a folded white cloth napkin. In the upper right corner, a wooden cutting board holds half of a sliced avocado, a small pile of orange powder (possibly paprika), and a small pile of black peppercorns. A white bowl of red salsa is also on the cutting board. The scene is set on a light-colored marble countertop.
