Minecraft is a popular sandbox video game that was created by Markus "Notch" Persson and developed by Mojang Studios. It was first released in 2009 and has since become one of the best-selling and most played video games of all time. In Minecraft, players are placed in a procedurally generated 3D world made up of different types of blocks, such as dirt, stone, wood, and ores. The main objective of the game is to explore, gather resources, build structures, and survive against various hostile mobs (monsters) that appear at night or in dark places. The game features several different gameplay modes: Survival: Players must collect resources, craft tools and weapons, and defend against hostile mobs to survive. Creative: Players have unlimited access to all blocks and items and can freely build and create without the need to gather resources. Adventure: Players can explore and interact with the world, but are limited by the rules and objectives set by the map creator. Spectator: Players can fly around the world and observe without interacting with it. Minecraft also has a multiplayer mode, allowing players to interact with each other, build collaborative projects, or engage in competitive gameplay.
