Mine Chest, the first official Minecraft subscription box, is a bundle of hand-picked, official, Minecraft goodies, delivered right to your doorstep every other month. Exactly what’s included is a closely-guarded secret, but expect an exclusive t-shirt, exclusive items, a premium collectible chest, a unique project, and a selection of official collectibles. It should be noted that Mine Chest has recently joined forces with Loot Crate and now ships bi-monthly instead of monthly. In addition, the price has increased from $36.99 to $39.99/box.

Mine Chest ships via FedEx Smart Post. This box was supposed to shop around the 15th of September (at least I think so anyway) but didn’t end up shipping until a few weeks after that. That’s actually not too bad for Mine Chest!
My boys are 5 and 9 and are absolutely obsessed with Minecraft. They always get so excited to open up these boxes. I pretty much have to sneak the box into the house, take the pictures and then box it all up again for them to go crazy with.
The September / October 2017 Mine Chest theme was “SECRET OF THE IGLOO” and included the following items:
~Villager T-Shirt: Like with all Mine Chest crates, I had to get my boys to explain this to me. It is, according to L (he’s 9), a Zombie Villager and Villager, with the Zombie Villager about to turn into a regular Villager. What that means I don’t know, but he put this shirt on about two minutes after opening the box, so I assume it’s good.
~Ocelot Scarf: Yaaasss! Not only was I excited about this, but so was my 5-year-old. He needed a new scarf (winter is coming!), and this is one he will actually wear. Both boys will end up sharing it, I am sure because it’s that cool.
~Block of Wood Stuffed Block: Mine Chest loves to include stuffed animals and objects, and my boys love it. W (my 5-year-old) has this on display in his room.
~Polar Bear Pin: Every Mine Chest (so far) has included a pin, and I think this polar bear has been our favorite. It’s larger than most of the other pins and so cute!
~Snowman Sticker Sheet (Mine Chest exclusive): I thought this was a Halloween Minecraft item, but the boys explained to me that’s how snowmen in Minecraft look. When you sheer off their pumpkin head, it will turn into a more traditional looking snowman head!
We loved this box! It was also noted (and appreciated) that this box did not include the stamp/ink pad that they have included in every Mine Chest since the beginning. I love that they are switching things up!
