Minecraft: Dungeons & Dragons is a story-driven DLC that brings the Forgotten Realms into Minecraft. Choose from four D&D classes, roll a d20 for skill checks, explore Candlekeep and Icewind Dale, and battle iconic monsters like beholders and mind flayers across a fully voice-acted RPG adventure.
Minecraft: Dungeons & Dragons is a story-driven DLC that brings the Forgotten Realms of Dungeons & Dragons into the world of Minecraft. Developed by Everbloom Games in partnership with Mojang Studios and Wizards of the Coast, it launched on September 26, 2023 for Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
The DLC delivers a fully voice-acted RPG adventure spanning roughly 10 hours of gameplay. It is available on the Minecraft Marketplace for 1,510 Minecoins across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS.
The adventure takes you into the Forgotten Realms, one of the most iconic settings in tabletop RPG history. You explore locations pulled directly from D&D lore, including Candlekeep, the greatest repository of knowledge in the Realms, and Icewind Dale, a frozen tundra where Ten-Towns stands as the last bastion of civilization.
Other locations include the prison fortress of Revel's End and a series of handcrafted dungeons filled with traps, puzzles, and boss encounters. Every NPC you meet is fully voiced, giving conversations and story beats a weight that most Minecraft DLC does not attempt.
You choose from four classic D&D classes at the start of your adventure: Barbarian, Paladin, Rogue, and Wizard. Each class plays differently, with unique abilities and combat styles that reflect their tabletop counterparts.
Barbarians hit hard in melee range. Paladins balance offense with support abilities. Rogues rely on stealth and precision. Wizards cast spells from a distance. As you progress, you unlock new spells and customize your stats to match your preferred playstyle.
Levelling your character happens naturally through quests and combat encounters. The progression system gives you meaningful choices about how your character develops without overwhelming complexity.
The standout feature is the integration of actual D&D mechanics into Minecraft gameplay. You receive a d20 die that you roll during dialogue and skill checks, just like a real tabletop session.
Your rolls determine outcomes. Succeed on a persuasion check and a guard might let you pass. Fail and you could get a lengthy lecture about why lying is a bad idea before they refuse to speak with you again. These moments add replay value and create memorable, unscripted-feeling interactions.
The dice rolling system applies to more than just conversation. Certain environmental puzzles and combat scenarios also incorporate d20 checks, keeping the tabletop feeling consistent throughout the entire adventure.
Combat encounters feature a roster of iconic D&D monsters reimagined in Minecraft's blocky art style. You will face goblins, dragons, mind flayers, mimics, displacer beasts, and beholders among other classic creatures.
Each enemy type has distinct behaviours and attack patterns. Beholders fire disintegration rays. Mimics disguise themselves as treasure chests. Mind flayers use psychic attacks. Learning how each creature fights is part of the challenge.
Boss encounters are set-piece moments that test your class abilities and gear. They serve as story milestones and often require you to use the environment creatively alongside your combat skills.
In February 2025, a second DLC chapter called Dungeons & Dragons: A New Quest was released, continuing the story with returning characters Katra and Vaer. The expansion follows Vaer's quest to reunite his stolen soul with his body.
A New Quest adds new locations, enemies, and story content built on the same d20 mechanics and voice-acted dialogue of the original. It is available as a separate purchase on the Minecraft Marketplace for 1,510 Minecoins.
Most Minecraft DLC focuses on building, skins, or mini-games. Dungeons & Dragons takes a completely different approach by delivering a linear, story-driven RPG with class-based progression, voice acting, and tabletop-inspired mechanics.
The collaboration between Mojang, Wizards of the Coast, and Everbloom Games results in something that feels authentic to both franchises. D&D fans will recognize the lore, locations, and creature designs. Minecraft players get a structured RPG experience inside a game engine they already know.
For players who enjoy both worlds, this DLC sits in a unique space that no other Minecraft content currently occupies.
