Minecraft Design System

Minecraft.net is what a gaming brand looks like when it refuses to borrow cinema's typographic vocabulary. Where PlayStation runs editorial light-weight display sans, where Xbox commits to angular geometric type, Minecraft picks a literal pixel font — MinecraftTenv2, a chunky bitmap face whose letterforms echo the game's voxel blocks. The display sets at 85px with lineHeight 0.85 and negative letter-spacing, so the blocks interlock rather than separate. Combined with sharp 0px corners on every surface, the chrome reads as continuous with the game world, not as marketing above it.

The system also carries an unusual feature for a gaming brand: per-product color territory. Minecraft Vanilla owns the iconic grass-green ramp (`#6cc349` → `#3c8527` in six steps under `--mc-vanilla-green-*`), Minecraft Dungeons owns an orange/red ramp (`#ffc42b` headlines, deep reds for CTAs), Minecraft Marketplace owns a gold ramp (`#fff27a`), and Legends + Education each have their own. Every sub-brand inherits the structural chrome but paints its own voltage. This DESIGN.md packages all six product palettes — 25 color tokens, 13 typography levels split across three custom typefaces (MinecraftTenv2, MinecraftSeven-v2, Noto Sans), the 4-step radius scale that's mostly just 0px, an 8-step spacing rhythm, and 22 component definitions covering buttons, game tiles, navigation, and the dark-canvas-with-bright-tile composition that paces every page.

Feed the file to Claude, Cursor, or Copilot and the agent reproduces the blocky-chrome voice — pixel-font headlines, sharp green CTAs, dark canvas, white game tiles — rather than a generic gaming theme. Or use it as a reference for any product where the chrome should feel continuous with the game world rather than positioned above it.
