Minecraft: Story Mode (2015) VS Block by Block: The Amulet (2025) Comparison

#blockbyblock #minecraft #mcsm #animation

After almost nine anxious months of waiting, the day has finally arrived. In this series of videos, we will be drawing visual comparisons between the original Minecraft spin-off game known as Minecraft: Story Mode, and the music video animation for Wazzy's MCSM: The Animated Series rewrite of the original story!

We will then delve into visual comparisons between the original 2015 game and the upcoming 2025 remake for MCSM, now titled Block by Block: The Amulet, and finally, a three way comparison between all the stages in which the ultimate story, over the course of the last decade, of Minecraft: Story Mode has evolved to where it is today.

What is Block by Block: The Amulet?

When one story ends, another one begins.

Block By Block is a fanmade minecraft-animated series adaptation of Telltale's Minecraft Story Mode video game. It'll be taking the narrative of the point-and-click adventure game, and putting it into a new medium in the form of a coming-of-age, action-adventure, fantasy animation series! Characters, plotlines, and worlds will be reimagined into a new story that's aiming to be fresh, unique, and different to the original game in order to create a new experience for lifelong fans and newcomers alike to enjoy.

The series will be packed full of adventure, a new retro, pixelated visual art style, an incredible cast of voice-actors, fresh and colorful designs for each and every character, an original soundtrack produced by talented composers, enormous new set pieces constructed by brilliant builders, and a story that places a stronger focus on the central gang’s growth in their friendship, and the larger world for them to explore with various new characters that’ll accompany them on their journey to figure themselves out as individuals while working together to save the world!

Will be free on YouTube in 2025.

Wow….

250K THOUSAND VIEWS!? This soon!?

I… I can’t express how thankful I am for all of your support. And to think this entire phenomenon began with my video essay on Minecraft: Story Mode!

[DontWorryImNotImportant]

This whole thing is super cool. The visual upgrades are just *chef’s kiss.* I can’t wait.

[FormulaAnimates]

Then there will be “Block by Block: The Portals”

[mimilove]

Amazing that you took inspiration from an official trailer !
What impresses me the most is the fluid animation and the lighting effects which are even more beautiful than in the game !
Roll on 2025 ! 🤩

I'm so happy people are starting to talk about Minecraft Story Mode. It was an underrated masterpiece from my (and many other's) childhoods. I'm very excited to see Block by Block come out next year. I'm sure it'll get lots of people appreciating MCSM alot more than back then.

0:28 in this part, actually Jesse is trying steal the armor

[MostyDmn]

I just cant believe this fandom is coming back im just sad telltale games went bankrupt in 2018 and canceled season 3 of MCSM

[AQIL_Fnice]

0:35 maybe block by block story will be different from the original because they change the storyline of episode 2

[Kgpong]

0:45 realize armor trim was a thing long ago

[thisisliterallymydisplayname]

I love how the lighting is still pixelated heavily. That’s truly the cherry on top.

The Amulet: Season 1 - Wither Storm
The Atlas: Season 2 - Portal Journey
The Gauntlet: Season 3 (MCSM 2) - Admin Romeo

Lots of potential here

People hated on Story Mode for no reason. Now everyone is universally hating the WB movie, and rightfully so because it’s something everyone agrees is terrible and DOA! Why does Zaslav hate animation so much he ruined a potential banger of a 1 billion dollar success?! Why is he so hateful towards animation?! WTF is his problem?! And why has he not gotten fired for his incompetence as a CEO?! He’s worser than Kathleen Kennedy, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, Kevin Feige and Bob Iger in the film industry in general. He’s managed to be worser almost spectacularly and more quickly. At least the others have mentioned have been doing their incompetence longer. He’s only been in charge of mainstream entertainment for a year and a half.

I never really realized how outdated the animation was in MSM until now. You did an amazing job 🙏

[ZenithDasher]

I'm gonna pretend that this is the actual minecraft movie and not that garbo garbage WB released

[angelsantana]

That block by block the amulet is a movie, that song is best and cool

[siphon]

One thing I noticed is the Witherstorm has wings now!

[Astral_Lumine]

This has gotta be the beginning of something amazing, we can only hope that one day the game is remade, possibly even continued

[Thorninjag]

I am SO WATCHING THIS! I absolutely adored Story Mode and thought Season 2 was at least alright. So the fact someone is willing to remake it AND MAKE IT BETTER is so amazing.

[VRTA]

Is this going to follow the same plot of the original or is there going to be a new branching path leading to a new story?

[MessiOlly]

I’ve just bought the disc again for my PlayStation, I’m about to have the best nostalgia trip ever
