Every good waterfall needs a hidden base behind it. Just ask Batman.

The LEGO Minecraft Waterfall Base is the ultimate shelter for Steve and Alex with an interior packed full of chests, crafting tables and item frames; while the exterior features trees, sugar canes and, yes, a grandious waterfall. The set is now retired, so locating it for a reasonable price is difficult.

The iconic Minecraft Creeper is immortalised in to the side of this LEGO mine in this next set in our list. The Creeper acts as a hopper to store gold which then can be dropped in to a minecart at the pull of a lever.

As well as a working minecart this set includes many other nods to the Minecraft video game, and is available for purchase now.

The Modern Treehouse is the most recent addition to our largest Minecraft LEGO sets list sitting at number 6. Build 4 very different rooms within your Minecraft treehouse – kitchen, library, study and bedroom – then add a variety of authentic Minecraft accessories – from furniture and bedding to tools and TNT.

The set measures over 29cm (11 inches) high, 20cm (7 inches) wide and 17cm (6 inches) deep.

Enter The Mine at your own risk! You’ll need to don your iron armor for this dangerous expedition. Grab your iron pickaxe and venture into the darkness, keeping an eye out for hostile mobs that lurk deep in the mine. Plant the TNT and activate the explosion function to blast away the rock face. Then load up the precious ores, jump aboard the minecart and hurtle past the Creeper, zombie and skeleton, using the iron sword to keep them at bay until you’re safely above ground. All in a days work for a LEGO Minecraft hero!

A potential candidate for our list of best LEGO castles, the LEGO Minecraft Fortress is a place to keep your livestock safe from the approaching skeleton army. Features include large pressure-plate doors, lookout towers, decorative Creeper banners, barred windows, water and farm areas and a prison with door-opening function.

It measures over 16cm (6 inches) high, 33cm (13 inches) wide, and 34cm (13 inches) deep and has sadly been retired.

Head for the depths of the sea to discover the Minecraft Ocean Monument. Just like the game, the elder guardian will guard the entrance to the monument - but once defeated players can open up the inside of the monument to reveal it's interior.

The Ocean Monument measures over 15cm (5 inches) high, 24cm (9 inches) wide and 24cm (9 inches) deep.

The second largest LEGO Minecraft set is the LEGO Minecraft Village. The set consists of several staples of a typical Minecraft village including a library, farm, marketplace and blacksmith. The set sits on top of several different Minecraft biomes to provide additional variety. As well as 2 villagers, the set includes an Iron Golem to help keep the peace against the invading zombies and creepers. Sadly this set has now been retired and fetches a significantly higher price when sold as new.

The crown for the biggest LEGO Minecraft set goes to The Mountain Cave.

The now retired set features an amazing minecart track with an integrated redstone‑powered minecart elevator that can take your minifigures on a tour of the cave and down the hilly exterior.

There's a heap of detail for Minecraft fans within this set from the first-night shelter to the spider spawner to the glowing redstone and diamond ore elements.

And at 2,863 pieces - over 1,000 more than it's closest rival - The Mountain Cave concludes our list of biggest Minecraft sets.
