Minecraft is a creative sandbox game that allows players to explore the procedurally generated colorful world, gather together and build various objects and structures using different 3D blocks. Because of its focus on simplicity, discovery, randomized environments, freedom of choice, and ability to host incredibly large creations imagined by its players, after its release on PC in 2011 the game very quickly became not only one of the landmark titles that influenced development of many future games, but also the commercially of all time. As of late 2019, Minecraft Java Edition has managed on PC and other platforms to collectively be sold in over 176 million copies, surpassing even the legendary Tetris.
Be aware that Minecraft is released on PC in two versions – the original Java version that is offered here which is still actively developed, and a separate Xbox version that is available from the Windows 10 Store. The major advantage of the Windows Store version is that it can establish a crossplay online connection to players who enjoy Minecraft Java Version on other non-PC platforms.
