The Halo Mash-Up Pack was released for download on [[Xbox Live]] on May 28, [[2014]] for $3.99 USD.<ref name="wire"/> A limited trial version of the mash-up pack is available for download for free. Due to ''Halo'''s partnership with Microsoft, the mash-up pack is not available for PlayStation editions of ''Minecraft''.<ref name="polygon"/>

All items, blocks and mobs in the ''Minecraft'' world have been retextured to match a ''Halo'' theme. ''Minecraft'' swords are now [[energy sword]]s, with a different blade color for each type of sword. Maps are now UNSC [[data pad]]s. Axes have been reskinned and are now [[gravity hammer]]s, with different colors based on axe-type. The ''Minecraft'' bow is now a [[needler]], with the arrows being retextured to look like the needler's [[blamite|ammunition]], and flint and steel is a [[frag grenade]]. Beds are ''[[Halo 4]]'''s [[Mark VIII Cryogenic Suspension Chamber|rendition]] of the [[cryo chamber]] with ''Minecraft'' "Steve?" inside of it. Zombies are made to look like ''Halo 4'' [[Flood combat form]]s and creepers are [[Flood infection form]]s. Ingots look like ''Halo'' [[armor abilities]] and dyes look like different colors of [[fusion coil]]s. Some food items are retextured to look like military ration packs. Leather armor is [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/K variant|Commando armor]], chainmail armor is [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Raider|Raider armor]], iron armor is [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant|Scout armor]], gold armor is [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s [[:File:Thel 2558.png|kaidon armor]], and diamond armor is [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Venator|Venator armor]]. Equipping a pumpkin as a helmet will give a player a mask pattern that resembles the [[Heads-up display]] from the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]].

All six remade maps appear in the same ''Minecraft'' world. On the world in the mash-up, the player spawns near the [[Bumblebee]] escape pod surrounded by hallways that lead to the recreated ''Halo'' maps. A [[Spirit]] dropship appears hovering above the spawning location. [[Guardian]] is located in the only jungle biome in the world. Next to the Guardian is [[Sandtrap]]. The [[Forerunner]] structures on Sandtrap are constructed out of retextured sandstone. Although the crashed [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] and [[D96-TCE Albatross|Albatross]] are included on Sandtrap, the [[M313 Elephant|Elephant]]s are not. On [[The Silent Cartographer]], the player is given boats to travel to the map. The map features [[M12 Warthog]]s and [[Pelican]]s. [[Valhalla]] also features Warthogs and the downed Pelican, but the surface is not as elevated as it is in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' map. To get to [[Blackout]], the player must traverse across a icy tundra, occasionally using boats. The Blackout map features all the rooms that ''Halo 3'''s Blackout does. [[Blood Gulch]] has Warthogs and [[Banshee]]s, along with the recreation of the map's caves and cliffs. Some of the maps feature chests containing items for the player.

In addition to the six maps, several isolated objects from the ''Halo'' series appear scattered for the player to find throughout the world. The Nether has the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s [[Cryptum]] surrounded by a Nether fortress. Near [[Blood Gulch]], a [[Scarab]] is engaged in combat with a [[Mammoth]], with several [[Ghost]]s and Warthogs in between the two. A [[Halo Array|Halo installation]] appears in the world's skybox.
