In announcement news today, the big news is that Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment has just set Jared Hess’ A Minecraft Movie (2024) for Digital release on 5/13, with the physical Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD release set to follow on 6/24. A Limited Edition 4K Steelbook package will also be available.

The 4K disc will include Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio.

Extras will include 5 featurettes (among them Building the World of Minecraft: Block Party, Creepers, Zombies, and Endermen Oh My!, A Minecraft Movie: Block Beats, A Minecraft Movie: Pixel Pals, and Marlene + Nitwit). You can see the cover artwork at left and also below the break.
