== Plot ==
In the Minecraft universe, the Wizard Keen fails to protect a superweapon called the "command block" from the evil hacker and brother of Minecraft's creator Notch, Herobrine. Defeated, Keen prophesies that a person called "The Special" will be blessed by the server's administrators, and become capable of stopping the command block's powers. Herobrine laughs and promptly kicks Wizard Keen off a cliff.
Eight years later, everyman Steve is a humble miner working in Stampy's Lovely World. Steve comes across Alex, a woman searching for something at Steve's mine. Steve falls into a pit, experiences visions, and passes out.
Steve awakens in the custody of Entity 606, Herobrine's lieutenant, and Steve finds himself now an administrator of the server. He inadvertently learns of Herobrine's plan to destroy the server, and is about to be killed by Entity 606 while he still doesn't know how to use his new powers. Conveniently Alex rescues Steve, believing him to be the Special. They escape and travel to "Squid's Sky Island" where they meet up with Wizard Keen. He and Alex are Creative Mode-ers, capable of building anything without the need for materials, who oppose Herobrine's attempts to suppress their creativity. Though disappointed Steve is not a Creative Mode-er, they are convinced of his potential when he recalls visions of "the Man Behind the Screen".
The three evade Enity 606's forces with Alex's boyfriend Stampy's help and escape to Bikini Bottom where all the Creative Mode-ers are in hiding. The Creative Mode-ers are unimpressed with Steve's cowardliness and refuse to help him fight Herobrine. Entity 606's forces attack and capture everyone except Steve, his new friends, and SpongeBob. The group goes into further hiding, and Steve devises a plan to infiltrate Herobrine's secret base and destroy the command block.. The plan almost succeeds until Steve and his friends are captured and imprisoned. Herobrine murders Wizard Keen, and sets his headquarters to self-destruct, leaving all present to die. Keen reveals he made up the prophecy as he dies, but his spirit returns to tell Steve it is his self-belief that makes him the Special. Strapped to the self-destruct mechanism's redstone, Steve flings himself off the edge in the tower and saves his friends and the Creative Mode-ers. Inspired by Steve's sacrifice, Alex rallies the Minecraft people across all realms to use whatever creativity they have to build machines and weapons to fight Herobrine's forces.
Steve finds himself in the human world where the events of his life are being played out in a basement by a young boy, Aidan, on his father's computer. The father — "The Man Behind the Screen" — chastises his son for creating hodgepodges of different blocks and begins to permanently put his perceived perfect creations back together. Realizing the danger, Steve wills himself to move and gains Aidan's attention. Aidan returns Steve to the game, where Steve finally possesses the powers of a Creative Mode-er and admin and confronts Herobrine. In the human world, Aidan's father looks at his son's creations and sees how he based the villainous Herobrine on him. Through a speech Steve gives Herobrine, Aidan tells his father that he is very special and has the power to change everything. Aidan's father reconciles with his son, which plays out as Herobrine having a change of heart. Steve and Alex begin dating and everyone has a dance party to celebrate.
