The Minecraft movie was primarily filmed in New Zealand, mainly around the Auckland region including Auckland Film Studios, Helensville, Waimauku, Otahuhu College, and Huntly in the Waikato region. These locations were used to create both the real-world settings and the Minecraft universe scenes. The production also utilized Vancouver, Calgary, and Montréal in Canada for some parts of the filming.
