From Pixel to Paradise: Discover the MINECRAFT Magic of New Zealand

Written by Jackie Ng

If you’ve ever wandered through your Minecraft world and thought, “I wish I could see this in real life”—well, you’re not alone. When the creators of Minecraft: The Movie chose filming locations, they knew exactly where to go: New Zealand.

From glowing caverns to starlit skies, peaceful islands to misty fjords, New Zealand brings the game’s most breath-taking biomes to life. So grab your enchanted gear and let’s explore five epic destinations where Minecraft’s magic meets the real world.

1. Waitomo Caves – Glowstone Caverns in Real Life

Step into the darkness... and look up.

Waitomo’s Glowworm Grotto is a surreal underground world where millions of glowworms illuminate the cave ceiling like floating glowstone blocks. Hop on a silent boat ride through this starry underworld—you’ll feel like you've unearthed a hidden stronghold.

Looking for adventure? Try the Lost World Half-Day Adventure. With abseiling, climbing, and exploring tunnels, it’s like navigating a treacherous mineshaft—minus the mobs.

2. Te Puia, Rotorua – Geothermal Furnace Biome

Just like wandering into a lava pit or bubbling cauldron in the Nether, Te Puia in Rotorua sizzles with geothermal activity. Geysers erupt sky-high, steaming mud pools bubble, and the earth itself seems to hum beneath your feet.

Then, step into the world of the Māori. Cultural performances, traditional meals, and incredible woodcarving and weaving bring the richness of a real-life village encounter—no trading required.

3. Lake Tekapo – Stargazer’s Stronghold

Want to craft your dream base under the stars? Start here.

By day, Lake Tekapo’s vibrant turquoise waters and snow-dusted peaks make it a visual masterpiece. But by night, it becomes a stargazer’s dream.

Situated in the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, Lake Tekapo offers one of the clearest night skies in the world. No potion of night vision needed—just look up and let the constellations transport you.

4. Abel Tasman National Park – Coastal Creative Mode

Golden beaches. Jungle-cloaked trails. Glassy turquoise seas. Sound familiar?

Abel Tasman National Park is where you’d build your ultimate dream base in Creative Mode. Hike along coastal paths, kayak through secluded coves, or just chill with your feet in the sand—it’s your adventure to shape.

This isn’t just a destination—it’s a canvas for your wildest travel dreams.

 5. Doubtful Sound – Mystical Fog Biome

Deep in Fiordland lies Doubtful Sound, the largest and most remote fjord in the region. This is the hidden realm for the true explorers.

Shrouded in mist and silence, it’s a world of towering cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and still-mirror-waters. Take a boat cruise and you might encounter dolphins, penguins, or even seals—like stumbling across rare mobs in an unexplored zone.

Bring your camera—it’s your enchanted pickaxe for mining moments that will stay with you forever.
