Craft Your Own Adventure

Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed and published by Mojang Studios. Players can explore a blocky, procedurally-generated 3D world, and can build structures with the resources they gather. Minecraft has both survival and creative modes, and can be played either alone or with others.

Minecraft's popularity can be attributed to several factors, including its open-world gameplay, endless possibilities for creativity, and its ability to be customized with mods and plugins. Its multiplayer component also allows players to connect and collaborate with others from around the world.

Minecraft was created by Markus Persson, also known as 'Notch', and was first released in 2011. In 2014, Mojang Studios was acquired by Microsoft, and Persson left the company.
