Nintendo published a special presentation from Masahiro Sakurai going over the Minecraft DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
In the video, Sakurai unveiled the “Minecraft World” stage representing the series in astonishing detail. Not only does it cycle between six of the game’s major biomes, it also features destructible blocks in the environment as well as many of the beloved mobs from the series.
Minecraft World
The stage is set in Minecraft’s Overworld and has a largely standard design, being a flat platform with edges that extend to the lower blast zone. Different materials for mining can be found along the main stage.
It features a day/night cycle, and different mobs may be seen wandering the stage during different times of day; they do not affect gameplay.
The stage randomly loads in different biomes, and the biome affects which obstacles will appear. Any obstacles can be destroyed through attacks, including mining, and will not respawn. However, the materials found through mining on the main stage will always be the same regardless of biome.
Other details
- The plains biome is standard, and features a town of Villagers who perform farmwork. At night, the Villagers retire to their homes and monsters come out, which catch fire and burn up in the morning, repeating the cycle.
- The birch forest features sheep and cows. There are two platforms on different levels hidden within birch trees.
- The savanna features acacia trees, and one platform hidden with a tree.
- The taiga includes Villagers, mossy stone, and a conifer tree.
- The snowy tundra includes Villagers and an igloo in the center.
- The stone shore includes a single platform and an irregular stone formation in the center.
