About Minecraft


Minecraft is a sandbox video game that Mojang Studios develop. It was created by a Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson, using the programming language Java. Markus was an indie game developer with no funding and worked daily to create a large-randomized-open-world game with different biomes. When Minecraft gained popularity, the game was sold to Microsoft for $2.5 billion. The hype for the game became so big that it later had spin-offs such as Minecraft: Story Mode, Minecraft: Dungeons, and Minecraft: World.
