Minecraft: Story Mode is the first episode of a five-part adventure series based on the sandbox building and exploration game Minecraft . Typical for Telltale games, it is a cinematic adventure where the story is driven through the player's choices. Decisions are carried over and influence characters and events. The game uses the original title's block design and introduces a story for the game world as there was none for the original title. At the start of the game the player can choose between six characters, three male and three female, with different appearances.

The introduction explains the legend of The Order of the Stone , a group of four heroes who once defeated the Ender Dragon. The game then returns to the present where the protagonist Jesse is introduced. His friends Olivia and Axel are introduced along with Jesse's pet pig Reuben. Axel brings news of the Endercon, a building competition with a chance for the winner to meet Gabriel, one of the heroes of The Order of the Stone . They build a giant Creeper, but a rival team known as The Ocelots tries to sabotage it, accidentally setting Reuben on fire. The pig flees into the woods and the friends venture there to find him back.

The game's story unfolds with different moments where the characters are offered choices for actions or conversations. These are time limited and if none is chosen, the 'silence' option is selected automatically. Choices are remembered by characters, with a notice for the player, and influence how they will react in the future. Unlike other Telltale titles, the tone is lighter and less mature, and many choices do not have the strong emotional impact other games by the developer are known for.

The gameplay combines cut-scene-like scenes with free exploration, allowing Jesse to freely explore the environment, collect items in an inventory and solve small puzzles. There are quick time events and action sections where he fights mobs in the woods and on a bridge using his sword. He can move between lanes, strike with the sword and has a limited amount of health.

This game entry only covers the platforms where the first episode of the game is available separately, unlike the PC version. Additional episodes could be purchased as a season pass or as additional single DLC items or in-app purchases for this first episode as the base entry, depending on the platform.
