href="/wiki/Sandbox_game" title="Sandbox game">sandbox game</a> developed and published by Swedish video game developer <a href="/wiki/Mojang_Studios" title="Mojang Studios">Mojang Studios</a>. Originally created by <a href="/wiki/Markus_%22Notch%22_Persson" class="mw-redirect" title="Markus &quot;Notch&quot; Persson">Markus "Notch" Persson</a> using the <a href="/wiki/Java_(programming_language)" title="Java (programming language)">Java</a> <a href="/wiki/Programming_language" title="Programming language">programming language</a>, the first <a href="/wiki/Public_beta" class="mw-redirect" title="Public beta">public beta</a> build was released on 17 May 2009. The game would be continuously developed from then on, receiving a full release on 18 November 2011. Afterwards, Persson left Mojang and gave <a href="/wiki/Jens_%22Jeb%22_Bergensten" class="mw-redirect" title="Jens &quot;Jeb&quot; Bergensten">Jens "Jeb" Bergensten</a> control over the game's development. In the years since its release, it has been <a href="/wiki/Video_game_port" class="mw-redirect" title="Video game port">ported</a> to several platforms, including smartphones, tablets, and various <a href="/wiki/Video_game_console" title="Video game console">video game consoles</a>. In 2014, Mojang and the <i>Minecraft</i> intellectual property were purchased by <a href="/wiki/Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> for <span style="white-space: nowrap">US$2.5</span> billion. <i>Minecraft</i> has since become the <a href="/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games" title="List of best-selling video games">best-selling video game of all-time</a>, with over 300 million copies sold and nearly 170 million monthly <a href="/wiki/Active_players" class="mw-redirect" title="Active players">active players</a> as of 2024. </p><p>In <i>Minecraft</i>, players explore a <a href="/wiki/Procedurally_generated" class="mw-redirect" title="Procedurally generated">procedurally generated</a>, <a href="/wiki/Three-dimensional" class="mw-redirect" title="Three-dimensional">three-dimensional</a> world with virtually infinite terrain made up of <a href="/wiki/Voxel" title="Voxel">voxels</a>.

The game has two main modes; one being <a href="/wiki/Survival_game" title="Survival game">survival mode</a>, where players must acquire resources to survive, and a creative mode where players have unlimited resources and the ability to fly. Several other game modes exist besides the two main ones, such as one that allows players to spectate others, one that plays identically to survival mode, but features <a href="/wiki/Permadeath" title="Permadeath">permadeath</a>, and one that prevents modification to the world, useful for mapmakers.

Mojang spokesperson Owen Hill provided examples of what it would and would not allow, saying company would allow for pay-to-play servers in which a player is required to pay a fee to access the server, or for cosmetic enhancements (such as in-game costumes or pets), but that Mojang would be cracking down on paying to obtain powerful swords or potions (providing a competitive advantage to the player versus other players). The new crackdowns were supported by Persson, citing him receiving multiple emails from parents of children who had spent hundreds of dollars on servers. The <i>Minecraft</i> community and server owners, however, heavily despised the new change in enforcement and protested en masse, which included comparing Mojang to monolithic video game publishers like <a href="/wiki/Electronic_Arts" title="Electronic Arts">Electronic Arts</a> and <a href="/wiki/Activision" title="Activision">Activision</a>, gaming companies often criticized online for their highly restrictive digital rights management and user license agreements.
