The Minecraft Universe (MIU) films are a series of American computer-animated films produced by Mob Studios, Mob Productions, and Mojang Studios, based on the Minecraft video game franchise. They share continuity with the MIU television series and are released in connected groups called "Chapters".

The six films of Chapter One grossed $6.5775 billion worldwide against combined production budgets of $1.12 billion. Minecraft: The Broken Seed is the highest-grossing installment with $1.684 billion.[1][2]

In June 2035, Mob Studios delayed every unreleased film of Chapter Two, restructured Agent Derp: Stronghold Protocol, retitled its Herobrine film Minecraft: The Man Who Wasn't There, and added three films to the chapter.[3]
