Minecraft: Story Mode is the product of Mojang partnering with Telltale Games in order to craft a narrative for the worldwide block-building phenomenon. The series follows Jesse, his friends, and his pet pig as they are thrust into adventure after an evil force is unleashed. It’s up to them to reunite The Order of the Stone, four legendary heroes who slayed the Ender Dragon and possibly the only ones powerful enough to save the world.
