5 best Minecraft costume ideas for Halloween

1) Zombie

A Zombie is a cool idea for a Halloween costume. It is among the most common mobs in-game and has a host of variants that can be created and worn for spooktober. Redditor u/Zauberer13 posted their cousin's zombie costume, and the adorable duck adds to the flair of the mob, in our opinion.

Zombie costumes can be easily constructed with some green paper or paint wrapped around a cardboard box. Details like the eyes and mouth can be sketched on top of the block and a green hoodie or set of clothes can be worn to complete the look. The chunky look and green shade add to the spookiness, making it one of the best Minecraft costume ideas for Halloween.

The Wither is hands-down one of the scariest hostile mobs in Minecraft. Its three heads and eerie movement have cemented its place as a nefarious opponent in-game. This is the perfect look to pull off if you want to surprise others and leave an impression when you go hunting for candy. Redditor u/CasualHooligan7 showed off the tastefully crafted Wither head they made for Halloween.

The costume can be crafted using three cardboard boxes painted black and joined together. Additionally, lights can be added for an eerie glowing effect and enhance the spookiness of this costume. The look can be completed by wearing a black hoodie or a pair of black clothes to make it one of the best Minecraft costume ideas for Halloween.


3) Wither Storm

If you think the Wither was good, then you can step up the game and dress yourself as the Wither Storm — the insanely destructive variant of the Wither mob popularized by Minecraft's story mode. The giant monster with tentacles and glowing purple eyes is sure to turn heads when you ring doorbells this year. Redditor u/KaiyahWolf showed off the unique build that they had made for their daughter.

Similar to the Wither, this costume can be constructed quite easily using three cardboard boxes and sticking them to a heart-shaped base. You can also add some spray-painted pool noodles for the tentacles and some LED lights to enhance the look and turn it into one of the best Minecraft costume ideas for Halloween.

The enderman is known to be one of the creepiest mobs in Minecraft with its signature expressionless face and purple eyes. This neutral mob turns hostile when looked at and can be a perfect part of the Halloween look with its deadpan expression and overarching figure. It is also known to occasionally carry random blocks of dirt which adds to its unnerving appeal.

You can easily craft this costume using a black cardboard box by painting purple eyes on it or using LEDs to enhance the look. Additionally, you can make a treat bag themed around a dirt block to add more depth and authenticity to the look, just like Redditor u/vjjft did for their son. This is not only a cool attention to detail but will also gain you some brownie points from fellow Minecraft lovers.


5) Steve

No list of Minecraft mobs is truly complete without featuring the fan-favorite Steve. This character has become the unofficial mascot of Minecraft and represents the millions of players worldwide who turn on their gaming devices and jump into this world of endless possibilities. Steve is a nod to the legacy of the game and is a cool and fun look to flaunt this Halloween.

The Steve costume is rather easy to make. Simply take a cardboard box and use coloring pens to add the brown hair and the beard. You can complete the look by wearing a blue shirt and flaunting a cool diamond sword just like Redditor u/amsamiam made for their son. The ease of crafting and the unique look easily make this one of the best Minecraft costume ideas for Halloween.
