The LEGO Minecraft team is planning on releasing some details of the next Minecraft set. In the video below, they show something that wants to burst out of a brick and wants people to guess what it is. We do know that the designers have been working on a Co-Build set and have been giving updates on it. Or could it be the revealing of the Microworld: The End (21107) set? Back in January, it was revealed that this set would be joining the current Minecraft sets. The End features bricks called End Stone and mobs called Enderman. This dimension also has a boss mob called the Ender Dragon. We’ll see soon enough what this mysterious trailer is all about in the very near future.
