About

The Minecraft Movie Unfinished CGI Pirated Version refers to a leaked, unfinished version of the 2025 Minecraft film A Minecraft Movie without polished CGI that was published on various pirating websites. A leaked scene called Welcome to Steve's World was one of the main snippets that spread, which showed actor Jack Black as Steve building his custom world with pandas and dogs (wolves). The scene, and many others, leaked on Twitter / X and other social media platforms in early April 2025.
