'''''Minecraft Legends''''' is an action strategy video game released on April 18, 2023, developed by [[Mojang Studios]] and [[Blackbird Interactive]], and published by {{w|Xbox Game Studios}} on Windows and Xbox, and Mojang Studios on other platforms.

== Plot ==
[[File:Minecraft Legends key art.png|thumb|left|Key art by [[Mojang Studios]]]]
''Minecraft Legends'' is a story that is grounded as a legend lost to time that is now only remembered in a powerful tale passed down from [[Minecraft Legends:Villager|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 [[Minecraft Legends:Piglins|piglins]] before their [[Nether]] corruption devours the Overworld and everything with it.<ref name="mcl" />

{{Q|'''MINECRAFT LEGENDS''' – Stories are powerful. Legends teach us about what has passed and what might have been. They create a bridge between us and generations long past as well as the ones to come. Starting today, we want to tell you another story – about peaceful coexistence, where adventurers did not get chills when hearing hissing, groans, or the clatter of bones. And the moment when a terrifying force threatened to corrupt this idyllic world forever. This is a story about the Overworld of Minecraft Legends. |Cristina Anderca<ref name="mcl">{{Mcnet|minecraft-legends|Minecraft Legends Announcement Article|June 12, 2022}}</ref>}}

== Gameplay ==
The gameplay of ''Minecraft Legends'' is that of a real-time strategy game. While strategy is the core of the game, some of its mechanics were inspired by action games. 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 [[Minecraft Legends:Piglins|piglins]] to stop the spread of their Nether corruption. The game allows the player character to direct and give directions to allies. <ref name="mcl" /> 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.<ref name="mcl-steam">[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1928870 Minecraft Legends on Steam]</ref><ref name="mcl-eshop">[https://nintendo.com/store/products/minecraft-legends-switch Minecraft Legends for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official Site]</ref>

''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.<ref name="mcl" /> In Minecraft Legends, maps are made procedurally. Land and resources must be used to beat the opposing team.

=== Bosses ===
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
[[Minecraft Legends:The Beast|The Beast]] is a boss enemy and the leader of [[Minecraft Legends:Horde of the Hunt|the Horde of the Hunt]]. It can be fought after all of the Horde of the Hunt bases are destroyed. It is very fast and highly destructive with it tearing through structures. Sometimes at night, it will launch an attack on a random village.

; The Devourer
[[Minecraft Legends:The Devourer|The Devourer]] is a boss enemy and the leader of the [[Minecraft Legends:Horde of the Spore|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
[[Minecraft Legends:The Unbreakable|The Unbreakable]] is a boss enemy and the leader of the [[Minecraft Legends:Horde of the Bastion|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
[[Minecraft Legends: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 will appear at The Well of Fate. It has red skin, a magic weapon in one hand, a spear in the other. Defeating it will complete the game and will result in all remaining piglins and their structures disappearing.
