Minecrafts

Minecrafts is not an official product name. The correct term is Minecraft, a sandbox video game developed by Mojang Studios and first released in 2011. The plural form is sometimes used informally to refer to multiple game worlds, servers, or fan-made projects based on the Minecraft franchise.

Minecraft is set in a blocky, procedurally generated world where players explore, mine resources, craft items, and build structures. In Survival mode, players manage health and hunger and contend with hostile mobs; Creative mode provides unlimited resources and freedom to build. The game emphasizes exploration, crafting, redstone machinery, and community-created content, including custom maps and skins.

Minecraft is available in Java Edition for PC and Bedrock Edition for Windows 10 and other devices, with cross-platform play between Bedrock-enabled platforms. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and consoles such as PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Education Edition is designed for classroom use, while Legacy Console Editions were released for older consoles and are no longer updated.

The game has a large and active community, with modders, map makers, and content creators contributing to ongoing development. It has influenced education, game design, and digital culture, and spawned spin-offs, adaptations, and a broad range of official and fan-made content under the Minecraft brand.
