=== Photorealistic animation ===
Unlike other animation, Goodwin wanted to use photorealistic animation for ''Minecraft''. They kept the 3D dimension blocked shapes of the game to keep the feeling of the game theme. However, they weren't strict on what they can add and do within the universe.

=== Music ===
In order to keep the theme and music for the series as close to the video game, Goodwin approached C418, Lena Raine, Kumi Tanioka, and Aaron Cherof to make the score for the series.
