Description

A village in the sky

Rather than a standard ground-level village, this set builds a variant where houses hang from balloons in mid-air while the Ghast, a flying, fireball-spitting creature from Minecraft, attacks below. That unusual mix of fantasy creature and blocky building style sets it apart from typical ground villages. Released in 2025 as part of the Minecraft range, the set picks one deliberately framed moment rather than attempting a full recreation. As with comparable sets, it's worth checking the exact set number to avoid confusion with similarly named models.

Pieces, colours and minifigures

555 pieces across 166 unique parts recreate the houses, balloons and Ghast creature, backed by 7 minifigures covering villagers and defenders. White and reddish brown define the houses and balloons, while medium nougat and light bluish grey add further blocky colours. The Ghast figure stands separately and looms large next to the villagers. That works out to each unique part appearing about 3.3 times on average, a useful indicator of how many distinct build steps the set actually contains. Anyone hunting for a specific part in a specific colour is better off checking the parts list directly than guessing from the box art.

A crowded defence scene

With 7 minifigures, the scene can be played out from several angles at once, with defending villagers stationed on different balloon houses simultaneously. That keeps the play experience varied, since no single figure has to carry the whole scene. As with most sets in this size range, it helps to set aside enough time and a tidy surface for the many small pieces. A tidy, sorted workspace makes a noticeable difference when working through the smaller, more detailed sections.

Who it suits

This set suits Minecraft fans looking for an unusual village variant rather than a standard scene, and anyone wanting to stage a defence scenario with a large cast of minifigures. The full parts list with colours is on this page. Anyone who already owns other sets from the same line will recognise the same build quality and attention to detail here. In the end, a quick glance at piece count, colours and minifigure numbers is usually enough to judge whether a set fits a collection.
