The Nether Lava Battle (21266) is a small LEGO® Minecraft® set that provides a build-and-play version of the popular video game. This versatile Minecraft activity set features popular gaming figures, fun features and endless action, making it the perfect treat for kids aged 6 and up.

Kids join Minecraft action hero Alex on a mission to remove ancient debris from a section of the Nether fortress bridge in the crimson forest. When the debris is removed, lava elements automatically cascade down, and Minecraft figures – a stone-sword wielding wither skeleton and a rod-spinning blaze – block Alex’s escape. Kids use an iconic diamond sword to battle the mobs before fleeing on another Minecraft figure, a strider, which features posable legs and a saddle. Minecraft players know they must grab hold of some warped fungus to be able to steer the strider. For extra digital fun, the LEGO Builder app lets kids zoom in and rotate models in 3D using their device.
