This blocky world is occupied by AI-controlled monsters, friendly villagers, and, in multiplayer mode, other players. Players are free to explore a large, procedurally generated world made of blocks, each of which can be interacted with, moved, or transformed into resources for crafting. Most Minecraft players would agree that the secrete to the game’s success lies in its creativity-inspiring design. Its creator, Markus “Notch” Persson, first released it in 2009, and it has since then become the bestselling video game of all time. Minecraft is one of those video games that even people who don’t game at all can instantly recognize.
