Minecraft is a sandbox gaming originally created by Swedish game artist Markus "Notch" Persson, and later developed and released by Mojang. The creative and building areas of Minecraft allow players to create constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally produced world. Alternative activities in the game include exploration, tool gathering, crafting, and combat. Multiple gameplay methods are available, including survival mode where in fact the player must acquire resources to build the global world and maintain health, a creative setting where players have unlimited resources to construct with and the ability to fly, an trip setting where players can play custom maps created by other players, and a spectator function where players can take a flight around and clip through blocks, but cannot place or ruin any. The Computer version of the game is noted for its modding scene, in which a dedicated community creates new gameplay technicians, items, and property for the game.Minecraft received compliment from critics after release, and acquired numerous honours and accolades. As of June 2016, over 106 million copies have been sold across all platforms, with an increase of than 40 million unique players each full month, making it the best-selling PC game thus far and the second best-selling video game of most right time, only behind the various releases of Tetris. In September 2014, Microsoft released a offer to buy Mojang and the Minecraft intellectual property for US$2.5 billion, with the acquisition being completed 8 weeks later.

Players can gather these materials place and blocks them elsewhere, thus allowing for various constructions.In the beginning of the game, the gamer is put on the surface of the procedurally produced and virtually infinite game world. The global world is split into biomes ranging from deserts to jungles to snowfield. Players can walk across the terrain consisting of plains, mountains, forests, caves, and various water bodies. The in-game time system uses a day and night pattern, with one full pattern lasting 20 real-time minutes.

Non-hostile animals--such as cows, pigs, and chickens--can be hunted for crafting and food materials, and spawn in the daytime. By contrast, hostile mobs--such as large spiders, skeletons, and zombies--spawn during nighttime or in dark places, such as caves. Some Minecraft-unique creatures have been mentioned by reviewers, such as the Creeper, an exploding creature that sneaks up on the ball player; and the Enderman, a creature with the ability to teleport and grab blocks.
