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 (map)|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 [[Kez'katu-pattern 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 an 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 {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s and Warthogs in between the two. Near [[Valhalla]], one of the Covenant Bases from [[Snowbound]] can be found. Several vehicles like Warthogs and Pelicans and Forerunner-style buildings are scattered around the map. The [[Halo Array|Halo installation]] appears as the world's skybox and the planet [[Threshold]] is the re-textured sun.

On the [[2015#October|23 October 2015]], a free update to the mash-up pack was released that introduced new characters to the pack based on [[Halo 5: Guardians]].{{Ref/Site|Id=MCH5G|URL=https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2015/10/19/halo-5-guardians-lands-this-week-on-minecraft-for-xbox/|Site=Xbox Wire|Page=Halo 5: Guardians Lands This Week on Minecraft for Xbox|D=5|M=3|Y=2021}}
