Production
Development
Multiple films were confirmed to be in development by July 2032 and a sequel to Minecraft One (2035). Development for a sequel to the fifth film began in 2034 shortly after the completion of filming Minecraft One. Freddie Goodwin planned to remake the film making process entirely to make it cheaper. After the success of the first film, the teams increased their efforts on the sequel to release it sooner. Goodwin worked with Grant Gustin to improve the story and after the criticism towards the human characters, Goodwin planned to remove them from the sequel, however Gustin requested to keep them in the film and just fix the issues the characters had. Gustin had joined as a producer by that stage. In June 2034, it was announced that the sequel would be titled Minecraft Two and would have a focus on Herobrine's backstory.
Goodwin and Gustin compared the film to Minecraft: Block Wars (2019) but with Herobrine in the film. Goodwin pubically confirmed that Derp would play a bigger role in the film. Even though his character wasn't planned to be in any film after Minecraft One (2035), Matt Doherty was still expected to appear in the film. In June 2035, Jenna Ortega and Owen Wilson were in meetings about reprising their roles in future films, with Ortega making a deal with them to return as a CGI character instead. The film was set to release in 2038, however was delayed until 2042 because of the negative response to the live-action portions of the first film which Goodwin restarted to make the film in animated format.
