Gameband for Minecraft

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Price: $29.99

Buy it: Amazon

This nifty wristband isn't just a fashion statement -- it allows you to save your Minecraft Worlds and carry them around with you wherever you go. It's only compatible with the PC version, but it means that you can play your Minecraft Worlds on any PC, even if it doesn't have Minecraft installed.

Whenever you save your Worlds, the Gameband automatically backs up your save to the cloud. So if you lose or break it, all is not lost, as you can get a new one sent out to you fully loaded with all your data.

You can also fully customize the LED display using some clever built-in software. You can set it to just tell the time or display an elaborate animation that you have created. It's totally up to you.


Minecraft Diamond Backpack

Rating: 4.5 out of 5

Price: $19.99

Buy it: Amazon

This fully licensed Minecraft Diamond Backpack by JINX is the perfect school backpack for any young Minecraft fan. The subtle yet stylish design is inspired by Diamond Ore from the game, which is a very highly coveted and rare material.

This high-quality backpack features a ton of compartments and pockets to keep your things nice and organized, and most consider it to be very comfortable to wear and sturdy when stuffed full of heavy items.


Minecraft Wall Torch

Rating: 4.2 out of 5

Price: $24.99

Buy it: Amazon

This is an awesome, functional torch inspired by the torches in Minecraft that players heavily rely upon to light up dark areas and keep the monsters away.

This officially licensed torch can hang up on your wall or stand up on a table, just like in Minecraft. Wherever you decide to put it, it's sure to add a touch of style to the space.

You'll also feel safer at night knowing that no monsters will spawn in your bedroom.


Minecraft Exploding Creeper

Rating: 3.7 out of 5

Price: $24.95

Buy it: Amazon

This Exploding Creeper toy is so simple yet so satisfying to use. Just one press of the button on the Creeper's head and it springs up, breaking into pieces. It's super easy to reassemble, making it great to keep on a shelf for a quick smile whenever you walk past or for a younger fan to continuously play with over and over again. 

This is the closest you'll get to a real exploding Creeper without losing everything in your inventory. 


Minecraft Enchanted Bow & Arrow 

Rating: 4.3 out of 5

Price: $27.67

Buy it: Amazon

Take aim with this pixelated bow & arrow based on the Enchanted Bow from Minecraft. This isn't just a cool collectible to display -- the arrow can actually be loaded and fired up to about 20 feet.

You only get one arrow, though, so it might be best if you save it for a tough enemy or an annoying friend.


Minecraft Creeper Mug

Buy it: Amazon

Enjoy getting the ultimate revenge against the relentless Creepers -- by drinking a nice, hot drink from one of their heads. This creepy, green ceramic mug is officially licensed and created by JINX.
