Minecraft is all about creating and crafting things, so it's no surprise Masahiro Sakurai wanted to incorporate this in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate when he was working on the Steve and Alex fighter DLC.
A fan-made mod recently demonstrated how it's possible to import skins from Minecraft into the game, and it seems Sakurai had something similar but different in mind. Instead of skins, he wanted players to be able to import Minecraft stages with a special level editor.
According to a translation of his latest Famitsu column (thanks, Robert Sephazon), he gave up on the idea, describing it as "impossible":
"Originally, Sakurai had an idea to create a level editor that would have allowed players to create a stage in Minecraft and import it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but gave up on the idea pretty early, simply because it was “impossible,” as Sakurai puts it."
In place of this is Minecraft World - which is made up of six different biomes. If you input a certain button combo, you can even select the specific biome to play in.
Is this feature something you would have liked added to Smash Bros. Ultimate? Have you tried out the new Minecraft DLC yet? Tell us down below.

I think the six biomes are fine as is. Smash Ultimate already has a built-in stage builder anyway.
I like the idea of changing Steve to custom skins.
Seeing Achievement Hunter Ryan's skin in Smash makes me sick.
@w00dm4n I didn't know where in the world those skins came from. I was hoping for a Husk, personally. Maybe if these aligations against this Ryan guy stand, Sakurai will change another thing about Steve that offends people. Frankly, that'd be fine with me.
ill take his word on it, everything else about the character is already pretty ambitious as it is
Maybe a Minecraft asset set added to the already in-game stage editor? Though it's been a long while since I dipped in there, so if you can make Minecraft levels already my bad.
Even if they could, it would be probably be best that they don't. You've seen the stage builder tits on twitter. You've seen the stage builder tits on smash world. You've seen the stage builder tits on youtube thumbnails again and again for years now. It's to the point where people don't think "stage builder" they think "tits machine". This is insanely bad not only for PR, but for players experience with the game and it's features, ruining what the devs wanted. This 3D block builder stuff...would be horrific
@PBandSmelly Wait what? I'm reading stage builder and tits but not the connection between them. I don't play Smash, do you mean people are making stages to look like tits or?
@StefanN
Stage builder and it's community has become just giant tits. Searching smash bros stage builder on youtube gives you tits, and going on the official smash online search for player made stages shows tits. Every single time.
I tip my hat of to you.
It sounded like have the minecraft xharacters in the game AT ALL was a hig, bug task anyway. So I am more than fine with this. Fair play for making all the efforts.
@PoorGeno They came from Skin Pack 1 in Legacy Console Edition
@PBandSmelly I downloaded an "Animal Crossing" stage someone made once and thought "This is strange, it's just two yellow hills" It was only when I moved my character to the edge so the camera zoomed out I saw the back of Isabelle's head above me and realised I was playing on her naked bent over butt. :-/
I think minecraft has enough in Smash as is. Like great job but dont kill yourself trying to make smash minecraft. It's great as in please move on to next character in the pass.
The good boi tried
@PBandSmelly why are you such a prude
The lengths this man is willing to go!
Truly incredible.
What a joke. If pc modders can do it...
@Objectionable Thanks for the insight!
@AmericanAf You do understand there is a massive difference between adding skins to a pre existent model and incorporating what Sakurai wanted right?
That would have been a crazy feature. Not one that I think we need, given the great design of the Minecraft stage they gave us. But the thought that he even considered something so ambitious gives me hope that we may still yet see some unique new additions to Ultimate beyond more fighters, stages, music, and mii costumes.
"Impossible" pffft!! Really!? 🤨
