A game without instructions
Minecraft has no story or mandatory goals. You mine resources, build, survive the night with monsters or create freely in creative mode. The world is generated by an algorithm and is practically endless.
Computers made of blocks
The material redstone works like an electric circuit. Players have built logic gates, calculators and even simple processors out of it. For many it was their first look at how chips work.
Numbers
Minecraft has sold more than 300 million copies. It is also used in schools (Education Edition), and in 2025 it had a successful feature film in cinemas.
