In 2020, Freddie Goodwin was in discussions to start development on a universe based in ''Minecraft'' due to the success that the first film had. Goodwin began planning ideas and looked into reimagining what his [[Minecraft (film)|2016 film]] had already done, by building a universe, without using the same main villain.
In April 2022, [[Discovery, Inc.]] and [[Warner Bros. Pictures]]' parent company [[WarnerMedia]] merged to become [[Warner Bros. Discovery]] (WBD), led by president and CEO [[David Zaslav]]. The new company was expected to restructure [[DC Entertainment]] so the film, television, and video game divisions of the company could be aligned. Even before the merger was complete, Zaslav began meeting with candidates to take over [[DC Films]]—including film executive Emma Watts—with the hope of finding an equivalent to [[Marvel Studios]] president [[Kevin Feige]]. Despite some recent successes with DC films and series, Zaslav and WBD felt DC lacked a "coherent creative and brand strategy" and were underusing key characters such as [[Superman]]. DC Films president [[Walter Hamada]] was still contracted until 2023, and his supporters felt Zaslav was not giving him enough credit for his DC plans and successes. In June, Zaslav announced that DC Films would be separated from Warner Bros. within the WBD structure but would be overseen by Warner Bros. film chairs [[Michael De Luca]] and Pamela Abdy until a new DC head was appointed.
 
Writer [[Jackson Miller]], who died prior to the start of development for ''Minecraft One'' (2035) began production on multiple films related to the video game of the same name ''Minecraft'', which would be "unique and original". He stated that the Minecraft Cinematic Universe (MCCU) would begin in 2016 and continue through decades if the films were successful.
 
In 2014, [[Mob Productions]] and [[SOI Studios]] were given rights to develop and produce films as long as Freddie Goodwin oversees them. By 2019, the deal changed to that anyone can make a film as long as the title "Minecraft" isn't in the title. In 2020, the producers had acquired rights to Entity 303, Null, and lots of other characters including the hostile boss — the Ender Dragon — which Goodwin planned to incorperate into the films.
 
In 2015, Mob Productions regained rights to the rights and began working on a franchise of films. By the end of the year, due to the deadline, the films turned into short films so they could begin releasing in 2016.

In 2020, Freddie Goodwin was in discussions to start development on a universe based in Minecraft due to the success that the first film had. Goodwin began planning ideas and looked into reimagining what his 2016 film had already done, by building a universe, without using the same main villain.

Writer Jackson Miller, who died prior to the start of development for Minecraft One (2035) began production on multiple films related to the video game of the same name Minecraft, which would be "unique and original". He stated that the Minecraft Cinematic Universe (MCCU) would begin in 2016 and continue through decades if the films were successful.

In 2014, Mob Productions and SOI Studios were given rights to develop and produce films as long as Freddie Goodwin oversees them.
