Minecraft is turning 15 | Come celebrate with us! is a promotional trailer, announcing the 15 Days of Minecraft event.

Summary

In a void of green, neon blocks, a 15 appears. As it does, a large assortment of mobs, from bees to Noor, as an announcer narrates that Minecraft is turning 15 in 2024. As an iron golem lights several fireworks for baby villagers and an allay, the announcer elaborates, saying that there are "presents" as a sheep cartwheels quite impressively. Describing it as a "blocktacular celebration," Minecraft is going to announce fifteen things across fifteen days to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the game Minecraft. As this is explained, many things happen, such as a goat leaping onto a button that releases a flock of parrots, revealing a crafting cap, and a warden does what appears to be a dance with a sniffer.

After a cat awkwardly violates a creeper's personal space, Alex dances around a Nether Portal, tossing around gold nuggets as a piglin emerges, its interest piqued. An iron golem invites the camera into a hallway protected by an iron door, where a spyglass is placed on the ground. Using it, it is revealed that, on the opposite end of the hallway, is a pillager also using a spyglass, who runs away in fear upon being spotted. As the camera recedes down another path, a statue resembling Steve is shown, and looks away. The announcer promises "weird stuff," seguing into a room of skeletons dancing, who get disturbed by the intrusion and almost shoot the camera. The announcer and camera then move on to a picture of Jens looking at a hanging sign in a boat with a chest, which the announcer clarifies we are not meant to see and blurs.

The scene transitions into a study area, where a hoglin is resting, surrounded by various redstone blocks crafting cakes. A chest opens up, briefly revealing the Experience Mod LLC logo, before the camera is quickly ejected from the room and cut off by a goat closing the door. That same goat proceeds to break many of the creeper-like blocks encasing everyone, creating a tunnel that leads to an enderman. An arrow is shot at a decorated pot, as a bat flies over to some villagers and an armored wolf around a campfire. The announcer promises that "it will be a blast," causing a frog to emerge and swallow the camera whole. Inside of the frog, it is revealed there is a kelp forest, with many tropical fish, glow squids, and a pufferfish.

The camera zooms out again, revealing Alex was reading a popup book of the previous scenes on a lectern. As she flips through various pages, a creeper emerges from inside the book, causing her to close the book and throw it away in a panic, right before it explodes. As the announcer announces "the ultimate Minecraft party and you're invited," many other mobs appear, including Steve, Efe, and Sunny. Zuri swoops in with elytra, as the camera tunnels through another set of blocks as more and more mobs appear, before revealing the logo of the anniversary.

A pillager can be seen with its in-game texture, as opposed to the minimalist style featured in the rest of the video.
- Similarly, when Zuri is gliding using elytra, the elytra use the item sprite instead of the model.
