Minecraft is three on console, and it’s giving presents out to all its Xbox One and Xbox 360 players.
The open-world block-building phenomenon first appeared on Xbox 360 three years ago this Saturday. It was Minecraft’s console debut, and developer Mojang is celebrating by giving away three skin packs on Xbox One and Xbox 360 that let you change the appearance of your in-game character. Microsoft bought Mojang for $2.5 billion last September, and Minecraft will now be integral to Microsoft’s in-development HoloLens technology, which projects virtual holograms into the your view of the real world.

The third pack is new, and it contains skins of some of the original Minecraft creators from Mojang.
The skin packs are available to download from the Xbox store, but they’ll only be available until May 17.
