Summary
AMinecraftplayer has made in-game models of real-life Nerf guns like the Chicken and Ender Dragon. TheMinecraftNerf guns were first released in 2021, and the lineup included various mobs from the game, but things have gone full circle with this replica concept.
Minecraftwas released in 2011, and it was immediately met with impressive player numbers. AsMojang continued to updateMinecraft, more players were introduced to the IP, and it remains popular today. With its maintained success,Minecraftand Nerf collaborated to create various Nerf guns inspired byMinecraft. With several mobs having been released since the launch ofMinecraft, these focus on a mix of new and old creatures. Inspired by these real-life Nerf guns, one player has modeled most of them as in-game renders.

Reddit user MushirMickeyJoe recently shared an image of eightMinecraftNerf guns that resemble in-game models. The image includestheMinecraftChicken, Cave Spider, Elder Guardian, Ender Dragon, Ghast, Guardian, and Snow Golem Microshots. Alongside these Nerf Microshot replicas, MushirMickeyJoe added the Nerf Dragon design which is an alternate build to the Ender Dragon Microshot. Because they’re based on existing Nerf guns, theseMinecraftweapons are scaled down to be small enough to fit in the player characters' hands. Standing out from the others, the Snow Golem Microshot offers custom reload animations that change how it looks.
SomeMinecraftNerf weapons not included in MushirMickeyJoe’s models are the Stormlander Hammer, Heartstealer Sword, Pillager’s Crossbow, and Sabrewing Bow. Beyond these Nerf guns, there are also Super Soakers based ontheMinecraftGlow Squidand Axolotl. While it doesn’t feature all the real-life Nerf weapons,Minecrafthas collaborated with Nerf on a Nerf world that includes many of them. TheMinecraftNerf world is available to players for free in the Marketplace. While the Nerf world gives players an idea of how the guns would function in the game, MushirMickeyJoe’s design nearly highlights the whole lineup.
Although manyMinecraftNerf weaponsare part of the official collaboration, some players may be waiting to see the different ones featured in MushirMickeyJoe’s image. BecauseMinecraftand Nerf just recently worked on the in-game world together, more Nerf guns based on the game may be released in the future. Given that the mainMinecraftexperience isn’t designed with guns in mind, it’s unlikely that any of the Nerf lineups will be added to the Bedrock Edition.
Minecraftis available now for mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy platforms.
