Choose From 4 D&D Classes
This Minecraft DLC is a fully-voiced D&D adventure, but before you can jump in, you'll need a character. You'll choose from among four classes—barbarian, paladin, rogue, and wizard—each with their own unique strengths.
- Barbarian: Hit hard and take hits with ease as the barbarian!
- Paladin: Smite your enemies in the name of your deity and heal yourself when times get tough.
- Rogue: Run in, attack with poisons, and watch as your enemies succumb to their injuries.
- Wizard: Hurl fireballs to destroy your enemies and use protective magic when they manage to strike back.
Once you've selected your class, you'll allocate stat points to either round out your character or further specialize them. In classic D&D fashion, you'll level up and collect loot on your adventures so you can take on greater challenges (and scarier monsters!) in the Forgotten Realms.
Visit Candlekeep, Icewind Dale, and More
Your adventures in the Minecraft x Dungeons & Dragons DLC will take you throughout Faerûn, a beloved setting in D&D lore. You'll visit such locations as:
- Candlekeep is the greatest repository of knowledge in the Forgotten Realms. The keep is a vast library of books and scrolls and was built along a coastline.
- Icewind Dale: The Frozen North is a nigh-inhospitable tundra, with the only bastion of civilization being Ten-Towns, a series of small towns home to an enduring people.
Face Off Against Classic D&D Monsters
Beholders, mind flayers, and dragons, oh my! This DLC pits you against beloved creatures from D&D lore. Not familiar with the tabletop roleplaying game? Not to worry, just get your enemies' health down to zero, and you should be fine.
Begin Your Adventure Today!
The Minecraft x Dungeons & Dragons DLC offers D&D and Minecraft fans a unique way to explore the Forgotten Realms. Blending the best of both games, it provides an opportunity to customize your hero, visit renowned D&D locations, and face classic monsters in a blocky universe.

I’d forgotten about this. Huh
Does this cost money?
IM SO EXCITED!!!!!
Amazing guys!! Just keep going!!! :)
Yep, it does. I don't remember the exact pricing but 10+ USD probably.
I get a blank white page when trying to get this. Anyone else having this problem?
Same
not able to find it.....uhm.......ANYWHERE in the marketplace on ps4.............
guess it doesn't exist on playstation after all this b.s. waiting they made people looking forward to this go through.......
Am I missing something? This is a D&D adventure I cannot play without the Minecraft Monsters supplement (costs money) but the adventure was given as a free bonus for subscribing to DND Beyond. Wow, what a generous git - I get something of absolutley no value that I cannot use without spending money. Hardly free.
Yes
Lightning Keep is the free adventure and can be played with Monstrous Compendium Volume 3: Minecraft Creatures (which is also free). Minecraft x Dungeons & Dragons DLC is a paid, D&D-themed expansion for Minecraft.
Hold on your telling me that its not coming to ps4 despite it being on bedrock? wth
they gotta be kidding right? I dont see it in the market place, are they really not bringing it to ps4?
Cant wait to try this out!
So the classes chosen are Barbarian, Paladin, Rogue, and Wizard? Should have been Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, and Wizard.
This has inspired me to try and log into Minecraft again, realize I have the wrong version, the wrong launcher, the wrong login type due to system migration, have the new launcher crash immediatly, realize why I stopped playing Minecraft.
Sadly yes
According to the release article on minecraft.net:
"We aim for a great DLC experience on all platforms. With this in mind, we are unable to deliver the Dungeons & Dragons DLC on the Nintendo Switch system and Sony PlayStation at this time."
Worth noting that Mojang was bought out by Microsoft some years ago, so it's no surprise that some content is going to be Xbox/PC exclusive for "reasons", even though the PS4 and PS5 are more powerful systems than their Xbox counterparts.
im annoyed that both playstation version and switch aren't getting it we should at least be given something to compensate of it like a texture pack or a skin pack of it at least
