In the game, players explore a pixelated, procedurally generated 3D world with an infinite number of possible terrains, collect raw materials, craft tools, and construct buildings or machines.

Game modes include Survival, Creative, Spectator, Adventure, and Hardcore, each offering a unique challenge and experience. The game’s large community contributes user-generated content such as modifications, servers, skins, texture packs, and custom maps, expanding the gameplay options.

Minecraft’s reputation extends to the education sector, teaching subjects such as chemistry, computer-aided design, and computer science. In 2014, Microsoft acquired Minecraft for $2.5 billion and has launched a series of spin-offs, including Minecraft: Story Mode, Minecraft Earth, Minecraft Dungeons, and Minecraft Legends, with a live-action movie scheduled to be released in theaters in 2025.

My World Gameplay

Minecraft is an open-world 3D sandbox game that offers players extensive freedom without set mandatory goals. It has an achievement system, called “Progress” in Java Edition, “Trophies” in PlayStation Edition, and “Achievements” in Bedrock Edition.

The default first-person perspective can be switched to a third-person perspective. The game world is made up of 3D objects or “blocks” representing materials such as dirt, stone, and water. The core gameplay is to collect these blocks and place them in a 3D grid. The material in the game, redstone, can be used to create mechanical devices and complex systems.

This nearly infinite, procedurally generated game world includes diverse biomes, terrains, and day-night cycles, and due to technical limitations, there is a barrier preventing players from going beyond 30 million blocks.

Players choose a game mode and difficulty, affecting monster interactions and other specific effects. In 2010, custom skin creation became an option, and monsters (both passive and hostile) populate the world.

Elements unique to Minecraft include exploding creepers, teleporting endermen, and variants such as husks and drowned. The game offers an ever-expanding world of creativity, exploration, and survival.

Minecraft Development

Before conceiving Minecraft, Markus “Notch” Persson worked as a game developer at King until March 2009, focusing on browser games and being proficient in various programming languages. In his spare time, he gets inspired by other games, creates game prototypes, and actively participates in independent developer forums such as TIGSource.

One of these projects, “RubyDung”, drew inspiration from Dwarf Fortress, but took an isometric 3D approach similar to RollerCoaster Tycoon. In March 2009, Persson left King for jAlbum, but continued to develop his prototype.

The game-changer was Infiniminer, an open-world mining game released in April 2009. It influenced Persson’s vision for RubyDung, reintroducing the first-person perspective, a unique blocky visual style, and block-building mechanics.

However, Persson’s goal was to incorporate RPG elements into Minecraft. The initial version of Minecraft (now the Java Edition) was completed in May 2009. Persson shared an early version on YouTube and completed the basic program in one weekend.

On May 16, 2009, a beta version was released on TigIRC, and on May 17, 2009, the public was given access to a development version on the TIGSource forums, which became known as Classic. Subsequent phases, Survival Beta, Indev, and Infdev, were released in 2009 and 2010, respectively, and were tweaked based on community feedback.
