Minecraft

Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by Moang Studios. The game


was created by Markus "Notch" Person in the Java programming
language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first
made public in May 2009 before being fully released in November
2011, with Notch stepping down and Jens "Jeb" Bergsten taking over
development. Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, with
over 238 million copies sold and nearly 140 million monthly active
players as of 2021, and has been ported to several platforms.
In Minecraft, players explore a blocky, procedurally generated 3D world
with virtually infinite terrain and may discover and extract raw
materials, craft tools and items, and build structures, earthworks, and simple machines.
Depending on their chosen game mode, players can fight hostile mobs, as well as cooperate
with or compete against other players in the same world. Game modes include a survival
mode (in which players must acquire resources to build in the world and maintain health) and
a creative mode (where players have unlimited resources and access to flight). There is also a
wide variety of user-generated content, such as modifications, servers, skins, texture packs,
and custom maps, which add new game mechanics and possibilities.
Minecraft received critical acclaim, winning several awards and later being cited as one of
the greatest video games of all time. Social media, parodies,
adaptations, merchandise, and the
annual Minecon conventions played prominent roles in
popularizing the game. The game has also been used in
educational environments to teach chemistry, computer-aided
design, and computer science. In 2014, Mojang and
the Minecraft intellectual property were purchased
by Microsoft for US$2.5 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft

Minecraft Dungeons, Minecraft Earth, and the upcoming Minecraft Legends.
