Overview of the Hello Kitty and Friends Furniture Add-On
The add-on was released on July 28, 2026, and is exclusive to Minecraft Bedrock Edition. Unlike the original Hello Kitty and Friends DLC, which was released on January 21, 2025, for 1,510 Minecoins, this new add-on focuses on a variety of interactive environments.
The main advantage is functionality. While in the previous release, furniture was decorative, now cabinets and refrigerators function as full-fledged storage units. To access the content, you’ll need the latest version of the game and access to the Minecraft Marketplace on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or mobile devices.
Sanrio Characters Featured in the Expansion
The developers didn’t limit themselves to just the main character. The set includes themed items inspired by several key figures from the franchise:
-
Hello Kitty — classic pink and red tones, kitchen sets, and cozy items.
-
Kuromi — a gothic style in dark purple tones.
-
Cinnamoroll — pastel sky-blue bedroom furniture.
-
USAHA*NA — bright interior elements with contrasting details.
-
Little Twin Stars — soft lighting and astral decor.
Each character defines the style of a separate line of items, allowing you to combine rooms to suit your personal preferences.
How to Farm Heart Gems and Use the Vending Machine?
The expansion’s main mechanic is built around resource gathering. Players will venture into mines in search of rare ore, which yields heart gems. The more valuable the vein found, the higher the chance of receiving the coveted crystals.
After collecting resources, players must craft a vending machine. By inserting the resulting gems, players will randomly receive furniture decor or themed blocks. This system turns home improvement into a full-fledged gameplay with elements of collecting.
Guide to Earning Rewards for All 15 Achievements
The DLC includes 15 unique achievements directly tied to the world of Sanrio. Each completed challenge represents a specific character.
Completing achievements rewards players not only with profile achievements, but also with special gifts in the vending machine. For example, collecting the full line of Kuromi items rewards a unique decorative element that cannot be obtained through regular crafting.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide for Bedrock Edition
The add-on installation process is straightforward:
-
Launch Minecraft Bedrock Edition on any target platform.
-
Go to the Marketplace section in the main menu.
-
Search for “Hello Kitty and Friends Furniture.”
-
Confirm receipt and activate the add-on in your world settings before downloading.
Additional Details, Free Skins, and Platform Support
The store is currently offering a nice bonus—a free Keroppi skin. You can claim it until August 28, 2026, after which the skin will become a paid item.
The add-on itself is fully compatible with other add-ons for Bedrock Edition and works correctly in multiplayer if the world host has the appropriate resources enabled.
