Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (2011)
|
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition is a version of the 2011 sandbox video game Minecraft developed by Mojang Studios[a] and SkyBox Labs.[d] It is a multi-platform counterpart to the original, PC-only Minecraft: Java Edition, which it has replaced as the primary edition of the game.[16] Named for the "Bedrock Engine" on which it is built,[16] the Bedrock Edition began life as Minecraft: Pocket Edition,[3] released exclusively for mobile devices, beginning with the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play on August 16, 2011.[8] It was later released to other platforms, with these ports bearing unique "...Edition" titles.[e] All Bedrock Engine-based Minecraft editions were unified through an update on September 20, 2017, which introduced full support for crossplay and rebranded them as a single version of the game.[14][16]
A Godzilla-based DLC pack developed by Team-KYO and Impress was released for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on January 30, 2024.[6] A Universal Studios-based DLC pack featuring the Skull Island: Reign of Kong attraction, developed by Everbloom Games, followed on February 13, 2024.[15]
Godzilla DLC
Movie theater
Players begin the DLC in the lobby of a four-screen movie theater; after obtaining tickets, they can enter each of the screens to play a different game. Coins awarded from these games can been redeemed in a giant capsule toy machine in the gift shop to unlock a total of 41 kaiju statues and images. They can be viewed in a five-floor gallery, with each floor representing an era in the Godzilla film series.
Players can also unlock statues of Godzilla that will appear in the lobby by undergoing certain tasks during completion of each Screen; these achievements are also commemorated by up to three silver Godzillas on each Screen's outside awning. Once all statues are unlocked, a large centerpiece statue of Godzilla's fourth form from Shin Godzilla will appear in the lobby.

Fury of the colossal beast: Godzilla makes landfall.
Dodge Godzilla's attacks and run to safety. Lend a hand to those in need and aim for the top result. |

— Ticket blurb |
Screen 1 is based on the original 1954 Godzilla film. The adventure primarily focuses on the player attempting to escape Tokyo as Godzilla attacks the city, though they are also able to help and rescue civilians in need for a better end score. Throughout the adventure, players will also need to avoid Godzilla's atomic breath, which is marked with a blue circle with a warning sign on the ground, and falling debris, marked with red circles and warning signs. Being hit by the atomic breath will result in the player having to restart the stage. Throughout each stage, cans of hardtack can be collected to replenish the health and hunger meters.
- Stage 1: Set in a train yard filled with many stationary train cars. The player must navigate around and inside the cars to reach the exit, which is a building entrance found in a right-hand corner of the map. The mission of this stage involves helping a man activate a communication device to call for rescue. In order to successfully activate the device, the player must press buttons in a particular order that will turn all of the lights green.
- Stage 2: The first half of this stage takes place on the rooftops of various buildings, where the player must occasionally carefully walk across thin platforms such as ropes or steel beams or jump across ledges to reach other rooftops. Falling down into the streets will result in the player being teleported back to the last surface they stood on before falling. The second half takes place on street level, where the player must dodge falling debris along with burning hot spots on the devastated streets to reach the end goal. The mission of this stage involves rescuing a member of a construction crew who is trapped behind a barrier with a tank blocking the way. To destroy the tank and rescue him, the player must navigate to the next building over and carefully traverse the steel beams to reach the chests resting on them, one of which contains a drill. Once the drill has been obtained, the player must return to the previous rooftop and use the drill on the tank, which will cause it to explode and free the trapped worker.
- Stage 3: Set in the burning National Diet Building. While escaping, the player must take care to not make contact with the flames or burning spots riddling the floor, as both will injure them. Throughout the stage, there are many chests containing fire extinguishers, which can put out the fires, or Golden Apples (depicted here as cans of food), which will quickly replenish the player's health on top of giving them temporary extra health. The mission of this stage involves saving a girl named Yoshiko from her burning house. Rescuing her requires extinguishing the flames engulfing the path to her room with at least two of the many fire extinguishers found in the chests and talking to her on the balcony of the home.
The full completion requirement of this adventure involves rescuing all three civilians throughout the stages, and meeting this requirement rewards a statue of the original Godzilla.

Screen 3 is based on Shin Godzilla. In this adventure, the player is tasked with constructing barricades and setting up TNT traps to halt an ever-evolving Godzilla's rampage. The adventure is split into three different phases, each based on Godzilla's major forms in the film:
- Defensive Phase 1: Players construct walls to damage Godzilla's second form as he rampages; after his health bar is drained, he returns to the water.
- Defensive Phase 2: Players first collect items and prepare their defenses against Godzilla's third form. They can interact with citizens to aid in building walls and trade hardtack for TNT during this planning phase. Godzilla will again return to the water after his health bar is depleted.
- Defensive Phase 3: During the planning phase against Godzilla's fourth form, an agent who emerges from a helicopter will provide blood coagulation potions. Godzilla will be frozen solid when the blood coagulation potion is fired into his mouth via crossbow, regardless of his health level.

Trivia
- Minecraft: Bedrock Edition previously crossed over with another tokusatsu franchise, Power Rangers, for a skin pack in 2017.[21]
- The Godzilla DLC marks the first appearance of the 2016 Godzilla's first form in a video game. Previous games that included him only incorporated his second, third, and/or fourth forms.
- Posters for a number of Godzilla films are absent from the movie theater and Collection: GODZILLA (1998), Godzilla (2014), GODZILLA: Planet of the Monsters, GODZILLA: City on the Edge of Battle, GODZILLA: The Planet Eater, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and Godzilla Minus One. With the exception of Godzilla Minus One, all of these are non-mainline films, being either American-produced or animated.
- The Collection plaques for King Ghidorah and the imago Mothra identify them as being from their debut Showa-era Godzilla films, despite their character models resembling their Heisei-era designs.
- While only Hedorah's Flying Stage appears during the DLC's story, a model of his Perfect Stage can be found displayed in the Collection.
- In creative mode, you can spawn a half-implemented Perfect Stage Hedorah with AI. It was possibly planned for the DLC, but cut due to time constraints.
- Scene 4 showcases Monarch utilizing the HEAVs. In Godzilla vs. Kong, they were created and used by Apex Cybernetics, though Monarch would develop their own HEAV in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
