200+ Unbelievable Facts About Minecraft You Don't Know!

Facts About Minecraft: Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by Swedish video game developer “Mojang Studios”. The game was created by Marcus "Notch" Persson in the Java programming language. After several initial private trial versions, it was first made public in May 2009, before being fully released in November 2011, with Jens Bergensten taking over development. Minecraft has since been ported to several other platforms and is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 200 million copies sold and 126 million monthly active users as of 2020.

In Minecraft, players explore a blocky, procedurally generated 3D world with nearly infinite terrain, and can search and extract raw materials, craft tools and objects, and build structures or earthquakes. Depending on the game mode, players can fight computer-controlled hordes, as well as co-operate or compete with other players in the same world. Game modes include a survival mode, in which players must acquire resources to build worlds and maintain health, and a creative mode, where players have unlimited resources and access to flight. Players can modify the game to create new gameplay mechanics, items, and assets.
