A Minecraft Movie is already the fourth-biggest movie of 2025 after a record-breaking opening, and it's only set to build higher over the Easter holidays.
It's no surprise that there's already talk of a sequel and if all the hype – and talk of chicken jockeys – have got you wanting to see it this weekend, then you might be wondering whether there's anything to stick around for after the credits.
We can confirm that, yes, there are Minecraft credit scenes to enjoy – and one in particular is something that fans won't want to miss.
So if you're planning on seeing A Minecraft Movie, we're here with the definitive guide of how many credit scenes are in the new movie, and what happens in them if you missed out.
How many credit scenes does A Minecraft Movie have?
We can confirm that A Minecraft Movie has two credit scenes to enjoy once the main story is over.
One starts almost as soon as the credits start to roll and is a pay-off of the long-running gag in the movie. The other comes right after the credits have finished, so you'll have to stay through the entire credits to see it.

But if you couldn't wait around or just want to know what happens in both scenes, then we're here to help.
Major spoilers ahead.
A Minecraft Movie post-credit scene explained: Hi, Alex!
Before we get to the big post-credit scene, let's deal with the mid-credit scene which continues the love story between Marlene (Jennifer Coolidge) and the Villager she strikes with her car.
During the movie, we see their dinner date going swimmingly even though the Villager, called Nitwit, doesn't speak. But the credit scene shows that Nitwit has learned to speak and he has the unmistakeable delivery of Matt Berry.
Nitwit says that their love has "transcended the barriers of conventional speech", meaning he now speaks human and Marlene can speak Villager. Not bad, since they only met each other yesterday.
Marlene then gets her Pride & Prejudice moment as Nitwit proposes to her and she responds: "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes."
Bring on the spin-off movie, we say.
If the first scene is a pay-off to the movie's long-running gag, A Minecraft Movie's post-credit scene has one eye on the future.
After he decides to go back to the real world at the end of the movie, we see Steve go back to his old house. Somebody else lives there now, but luckily a chest that Steve left in the attic is still there.
The house's new occupant invites Steve in, and then introduces herself: "You wanna come in? I'm Alex, by the way."
For casual viewers, this won't mean much. But for Minecraft players, they'll know that Alex is a reference to one of the game's nine default player skins. Alex was the second to be introduced and has commonly been seen with Steve.
We don't see Alex's face here, but she's played by Alice May Connolly. It's unlikely that she'll play Alex in a potential Minecraft sequel, so the fact we don't see Alex's face is likely to make a recast easier if a sequel does happen.
There are unconfirmed reports that Kate McKinnon voiced Alex in the credit scene as she has an uncredited role in the movie. However, director Jared Hess will neither confirm nor deny such reports.
"It's a mystery," Hess told IGN. "That character, that's a whole other fun chapter we'd be excited about."
So, basically, start your fancasting now.
