LEGO Minecraft The Animal Sanctuary (21253) depicts a plains biome refuge, introducing the LEGO Minecraft Efe figure. This 206-piece model features six Minecraft mobs: a Minecraft cat, magenta sheep, wolf, rabbit, cow, and a Baby Zombie. The sanctuary has three areas. A fenced play-space includes a hinged gate and a room with a chest containing animal food like a bone, carrot, and wheat. A picnic spot offers a brick-built table under a tree. A carpet provides a resting place. The set’s modular design allows varied arrangement of these zones.
