5 easily missed things in the Minecraft movie trailer

1) The blue portal cube

At the very beginning of the trailer, we can see some of the cast members including Jason Mamoa and Sebastian Hansen entering the blocky world of Minecraft through a blue portal. Hansen can be seen holding a blue cube at the 23-second mark.

As we know the nether portal has a purple glow, this could mean that the new portal is an overworld portal that probably connects it to the real world. The blue cube that Sebastian Hansen is holding could be the key to opening this portal and perhaps hold some other importance in the movie as well.

2) Painting reference

Minecraft has a lot of paintings that are inspired by real-world ones. So it was natural for the makers of the movie to add some real paintings in the live-action movie. At around 31 seconds into the trailer, you can see the painting “Wanderer above the Sea of Fog” by the painter Caspar David Friedrich. This painting can also be seen in the game.

3) New item

At the trailer's 32-second mark, we can see Jason Mamoa using the crafting table and placing some items on the grid to make a completely new item that is not present in the game. This item looks like two buckets chained together. Moreover, if you pause the video right here, you can see many easter eggs in the background including rockets, Totems of Undying, and a lot of TNT blocks.

4) Villages

At 33 seconds into the trailer, we can see an aerial shot of a mountain. In this very shot we can see the villagers familiar to us from the game. The shot also shows houses, farming areas, pathways, and even some pigs in the distance.

Another interesting thing to note is at the beginning of the trailer, at around the 8-second mark, we got the first shot of the villages and this shows us a different village with windmills. Since Minecraft does not have windmills, this could mean that the movie will be adding a lot of new things to the blocky world. Also, if you look closely, you can see some villagers working on the farm.

5) An unknown mob

At around 39 seconds into the trailer, we get to see what appears to be a bastion remnant with all the piglins working on different things. The makers of the movie got the aesthetics of the bastion right with lava flowing around. The shot shows a new mob with purple eyes at the center. It could be an enderman as they also have purple eyes, although it does not appear to be one.
