''Minecraft'' began development around May 10, 2009<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20090615065538/http://www.minecraft.net/about.jsp</ref>, when independent game developer {{iw|wikipedia|Markus "Notch" Persson}} started expanding on one of his personal projects, a base-building demo named ''RubyDung''. He took heavy inspiration from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Infiniminer}}'', an open-world, block-themed mining game released earlier that year, lifting its blocky aesthetics, mining gameplay, and first-person perspective, and developed a tech demo named ''Cave Game'', of which he uploaded a short gameplay video to [[YouTube]]. He soon renamed it ''Minecraft: Order of the Stone'' (a reference to the webcomic ''{{iw|wikipedia|The Order of the Stick}}''), then simply ''Minecraft''.

Coded in the {{iw|wikipedia|Java|programming language}} programming language, a pre-alpha version of ''Minecraft'' was publicly released on May 17, 2009. The game's great popularity allowed Notch to work on it full-time, updating it based on feedback. To facilitate this, he founded a video game company, [[Mojang Studios|Mojang Specifications]] (eventually renamed to "Mojang AB" and later "Mojang Studios"). After different phases of development cycles, ''Minecraft'' entered alpha testing on June 30, 2010, then beta testing on December 20, 2010, and was officially released on November 18, 2011. Later, on December 1, Notch stepped down from his position as lead designer, leaving programmer and designer {{iw|wikipedia|Jens Bergensten}} to take his place. In 2014, [[Microsoft]] purchased Mojang for US$2.5 billion, thus acquiring the ''Minecraft'' intellectual property; Notch soon left Mojang, and the company eventually cut all ties from him due to becoming a controversial figure in recent years. As of March 2021, gameplay developer [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Agnes_Larsson Agnes Larsson] is the game's director and she occasionally appears with Jens for videos related to the franchise, such as Minecraft Live; a yearly event that gives news to an upcoming major update for the base game, new titles or updates for the spin-off branch, and miscellaneous information.

Minecraft Live is a yearly event that gives news to an upcoming major update for the base game, new titles or updates for the spin-off branch, and miscellaneous information, in which [[Masahiro Sakurai]] appeared briefly in one of them through a video for announcing ''Minecraft'' crossing over with ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.


''Minecraft'' is an open-world sandbox game about survival and creativity, with a block-based world and blocky characters. Worlds are generated pseudo-randomly based on seeds (integer sequences), allowing players to have a different experience for each playthrough, while specific worlds can be recreated and revisited by saving their seeds. Worlds may come with different biomes, affecting the types of scenery and mobs the player may see, and also come with different dimensions to explore (three by default: the Overworld, the Nether, and the End). The player takes on the default appearance of a generic character named [[Steve]] or [[Alex]], but can be customized to the player's liking using custom-made textures, known as "skins." On August 2022, Steve and Alex had their model updated to fit with the modern design of ''Minecraft'' made by Dutch artist [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Jasper_Boerstra Jasper Boerstra], also known as JAPPA, compared to the Programmer Art prior to the Village & Pillage update. During Minecraft Live 2022, seven more characters were added to the game alongside Steve and Alex; Zuri, Sunny, Noor, Makena, Kai, Efe, and Ari. As the name implies, the primary gameplay mechanics of ''Minecraft'' are mining (digging up blocks to obtain materials) and crafting (using said materials to create new objects, such as weapons or armor). The game also allows players to play online with other people through custom servers, or on ''Minecraft Realms'' (a subscription-based private server service). Online play is a notable and popular part of ''Minecraft'', and because of this, the game is continually updated and re-released with new features.

There have been numerous editions of ''Minecraft'', available on various platforms. The ''Java Edition'', the original edition of ''Minecraft'', is available on home computer platforms such as Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X (now macOS) and Linux; the ''Bedrock Edition'', rewritten in the {{iw|wikipedia|C++}} programming language, was originally available on iOS and Android and has since been ported to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, [[Nintendo Switch]], and Windows 10; the discontinued ''Legacy Console Edition'' is the only available edition on older consoles such as the [[Wii U]], PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Xbox 360; and special editions of ''Minecraft'' have been made available on platforms like the [[New Nintendo 3DS]] and the Raspberry Pi, but have since been discontinued.

* Creative mode focuses on building creations with a wide array of different blocks and materials. In this mode, survival is no issue, as the player is invincible to all standard forms of damage, and has the ability to freely fly. Furthermore, all mobs become passive and all blocks can be mined instantly. In the ''Bedrock Edition'', starting a Creative world permanently disables achievements, trophies, and leaderboard updates for that world, but has no other effects on gameplay.

This allows creators to produce narrative worlds, in the vein of a traditional adventure game, without interference from other players.

The player is also free to see another player's or mobs's perspective in the game by clicking towards them while in this mode, including a few mobs who have a screen filter in their point of view.

''Minecraft'' has grown to be the single best selling video game of all time, with over 238 million copies sold as of 2021. This beats the previous best selling single video game, {{iw|wikipedia|Rockstar Games}}' ''{{iw|wikipedia|Grand Theft Auto V}}'' at 160 million copies, as well as all paid versions of {{uvm3|Tetris}} at roughly 200 million copies. ''Minecraft'' is also a juggernaut in terms of merchandise, with popular items being apparel, toys, plushes, and other novelty items.

''Minecraft'' is also a juggernaut in terms of merchandise, with popular items being apparel, toys, plush figures, and other novelty items.


The game is also recognized for its calming music and deriving from the {{iw|wikipedia|chiptune}} theme commonly used for indie games, which was originally composed by German musician {{iw|wikipedia|Daniel Rosenfeld}}, also known as C418. The game's soundtrack was released into two albums; ''{{iw|wikipedia|Minecraft – Volume Alpha}}'' in 2011, and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Minecraft – Volume Beta}}'' in 2013.

''Minecraft'' has also spawned spin-off titles: adventure game ''{{iw|wikipedia|Minecraft: Story Mode}}'' in 2015 (co-developed by the now-defunct Telltale Games), augmented-reality mobile game ''{{iw|wikipedia|Minecraft Earth}}'' in 2019 (which ended its services on June 30th, 2021 due to restrictions on outdoor activities as a result of the [[COVID-19]] pandemic<ref>{{cite web |url=https://twitter.com/Minecraft/status/1346502225720467457 |title=Minecraft on Twitter |quote=After many great adventures, we’ve made the difficult decision to close down Minecraft Earth in June 2021.

The popularity of ''Minecraft'' has led to many third-party companies basing their own games upon it, or crossing over with the ''Minecraft'' franchise in some way. For example, [[Square Enix]]'s ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest Builders}}'' series is a mix between ''Minecraft''{{'}}s blocky design and survival genre and {{uv|Dragon Quest}}'s characters and role-playing genre. The Nintendo console versions of ''Minecraft'' include the {{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Mash-Up Pack}}, which comes with custom graphics and worlds based upon the {{uv|Mario}} series.
