Throughout A Minecraft Movie, several easter eggs are hidden, including cameos, details, and references.
Several auction attendees attended Daryl's auction in Chuglass of a storage unit, containing Steve's belongings from his former home on Earth. They were portrayed by Oliver Brotherhood, Daniel Middleton, Elizabeth Batty, and Jessica Bravura, notable for being popular content creators on YouTube, among several uncredited actors. The items up for sale included a water bed, pickaxes, a large can, mixed nuts, several "unisex turquoise blouses," and a 1978 Atari Cosmos. The auction began at $500, and Garrett won one item for $900. However, upon discovering that the Atari Cosmos box is empty, he trashes the entire storage unit, infuriating Daryl and the auction attendees.
Valkyrae was also scheduled to make a cameo, however her cameo was cut.[1]
During the scenes at the restaurant, Jens Bergensten makes a brief cameo appearance as a waiter. He appears for less than five seconds, without any dialogue. In the behind the scenes video, Marlene + Nitwit, it’s revealed his gold-plated nametag shows the name Jeb, referencing Bergensten's nickname.
During the resolution of the story, it is revealed that Natalie went on to establish Survival Mode Self-Defense, named after the game mode Survival. Among the inductees is the film's producer, Torfi Frans Ólafsson.
Although they do not appear in the film, there are two references to trader llamas. In one scene, a visual gag of a wandering trader interacting with an ordinary llama can be seen. More subtly, an engraving of the mob can be seen on the trader's belt.[2]
Within the marketplace area of Midport Village, a decoration which is in the shape of a ruby from Minecraft Earth can be seen.
During Henry’s fight against the enderman, it creates hallucinations of his friends to torment him. They all possess the same purple eyes as endermen, except for the Steve hallucination, who has white eyes. This makes him look extremely similar to Herobrine. In a tweet on April 6th, Torfi Frans Olafsson, the producer of the film, stated that "it's super strange" that the eyes of one character "kept coming out white," jokingly adding that this was due to a VFX error which was left in because of time constraints.[3] The tweet was later quoted by the main Minecraft account with a curious emoji.[4]
During the scene where Steve shows the misfits around Midport Village, Henry sees a pig wearing a crown and asks Steve if it's a king, to which Steve replies that it is "a legend". This is a reference to the YouTuber Technoblade, who died in 2022 of stage-4 sarcoma cancer and is considered a legend by the community because of his actions.
At two separate points within the film, characters use a water bucket to survive a towering fall. Initially, Steve uses one to survive a crash from a firework rocket. Later, Garrett claims to have survived an explosion using this technique. Both instances are a reference to the water bucket clutch, a popular technique in Minecraft where a water bucket is used to break a fall. However, in the film it is presented more like a cushion, fired from a distance instead of moments before impact.
During her date with the Nitwit, Marlene is asked by Matty The Waitress if she's finished eating. Hearing "Finnish," she remarks "no, I think he's Swedish." This is a reference to the franchise originating in Sweden.
During the lead-up to the climax, Steve boasts "first, we mine, then we craft. Let's Minecraft!" Dawn also proceeds to say "Minecraft!" This is a title drop of the franchise name.
