''Minecraft Zone'' forces players to build their loadout from nothing. Each match, players are required to collect "Acquisitions" and "Schematics". Acquisitions are one-time use items that can be activated in subsequent games, but are forfeited if the player is eliminated mid-match. Schematics offer a more permanent benefit, allowing players to craft specific items, like a Diamond Sword, on a cooldown basis. The game features traditional ''Minecraft'' hostile mobs such as Zombies, Skeletons, and Endermen.
