How to organise a Minecraft party: from suitable decorations to Minecraft presents
Does your child love the world of Minecraft, building things, dodging creepers and collecting diamonds? Then your child will love the idea of a Minecraft birthday party with friends. With just a few simple steps, you can plan a fabulous Minecraft party. From creative costumes and tasty snacks to a Minecraft-style scavenger hunt, we'll show you how to plan an unforgettable Minecraft children's birthday party!
Minecraft birthday decorations: creative ideas for homemade decorations for your Minecraft party
Children’s imaginations are boundless and with a few simple tricks, you can bring the world of Minecraft into your very own living room. The entire aesthetic of the game is made up of cubes. This makes it particularly easy to create the perfect Minecraft birthday party decorations yourself. You can make the following ideas in no time at all:
Creeper balloons: blow up green balloons and carefully draw a typical creeper face on them with a black marker (two square eyes and a square mouth). You can either spread the balloons out across the room or hang them up as a garland.
Minecraft blocks: collect several small cardboard boxes and paint or stick different colours on them (e.g. green and brown grass blocks, grey stone blocks, blue water blocks and brown wooden blocks). Use them to build a Minecraft backdrop or place small boxes on the table as decoration.
Grass blocks for small gifts: take a box and paint the lid in green or cover it in green paper and do the same in brown for the rest of the box. You can fill the finished gift boxes with small gifts, snacks or sweets and place them on the table.
You can complement the Minecraft birthday party decorations with green and black streamers and balloons.
Minecraft birthday: tasty snacks for your Minecraft party
A Minecraft adventure will certainly work up an appetite. Make sure you have the right snacks and treats for your Minecraft children's birthday party to keep everyone satisfied. We have come up with some great ideas for a buffet that not only tastes good but also looks like it's straight out of the game:
Creeper birthday cake: bake your child's favourite cake and cut it into squares. Cover the cake with green fondant and cut the squares for the creeper face out of black fondant.
Grass block brownie: decorate brownies with green frosting or green-coloured shredded coconut to create delicious little blocks of grass.
Minecraft-style snack buffet: cut up fruit and vegetables and divide them into different bowls. Then make a sign for each bowl with a picture of the fruit in Minecraft style.
Creeper lemonade: offer green woodruff lemonade as a refreshment.
A great idea for dinner at your Minecraft party is to make square mini pizzas together and then enjoy them.

Minecraft party: outfits for your Minecraft birthday party
You don't necessarily have to buy expensive costumes if you want a cool Minecraft birthday costume. You can easily create authentic Minecraft looks with a few items of clothing from your wardrobe.
The easiest costume to simulate is that of one of the main characters, Steve or Alex. For Steve, pair some blue jeans, a turquoise T-shirt and brown shoes. Alex, on the other hand, wears a green shirt or T-shirt paired with brown trousers and boots. A braided pigtail and an orange hat will complete this outfit.
If you want to look like one of the villains, you can dress up as a creeper. All you need is a green hoodie or jumper and matching green trousers or leggings. You can even draw a typical creeper face on your shirt with black fabric markers.
Fun Minecraft games: from face painting to a treasure hunt
A Minecraft birthday isn't just about the decorations and matching outfits but also about fun birthday games! Here are three exciting Minecraft birthday games and activities that fit the theme perfectly and are plenty of fun.
1. Activities for a Minecraft party: face painting a creeper
One of the well-known characters from Minecraft is the creeper. With a bit of face paint, you can transform your little guests into creepers. You will need green children's make-up as a base and black make-up for the eyes and mouth. Use a sponge to help you apply the green colour evenly and a fine brush to paint black squares around the eyes and mouth.

2. Minecraft birthday games: a creeper piñata
A Minecraft party without Creeper? Unthinkable! This time around, this green villain doesn't explode by itself. The children have to smash it to get to the tasty reward hidden inside. A creeper-style piñata is easy to make from a square cardboard box painted green. It can be filled with sweets, confetti and even mini Minecraft goodies.
3. Minecraft party treasure hunt: an adventure full of blocks and riddles
You can transform your garden or home into a real Minecraft world with a treasure hunt. The little adventurers must solve different tasks in order to find a treasure chest full of ‘diamonds’ (e.g. sweets in blue foil) or Minecraft goodies at the end. The Minecraft treasure hunt tasks can be based on the game. For example, the children must find special ores (chocolate coins), ‘activate redstone’ (solve a puzzle) or ‘explore a cave’ (search a dark room with torches). Once all the tasks have been mastered, the legendary treasure chest can be opened.
Conclusion: an unforgettable Minecraft party for kids
A Minecraft birthday party will be an unforgettable party for your child with the right decorations, creative costumes and exciting games. With a little preparation, your child and their friends can immerse themselves in the world of Minecraft and have a great adventure. Don’t hesitate to get started!
