Minecraft: a sandbox indie video game inspired by Infiniminer, written in Java, created by Markus "Notch" Persson, and is being developed by Mojang AB. From its creation, Minecraft was developed almost exclusively by Notch until Jens "Jeb" Bergensten started working with him, and now is head of its development. It features music by Daniel "C418" Rosenfeld and paintings by Kristoffer Zetterstrand. Initially released as what is now known as Minecraft Classic on May 17, 2009, the computer game was released as Minecraft 1.0 on November 18th, 2011. In addition to computers, Minecraft has also expanded to mobile devices and a version for Xbox 360 is under development.
Minecraft focuses on allowing the player to explore, interact with, and modify a dynamically-generated map made of one-cubic-meter-sized blocks. In addition to blocks, the environment features plants, mobs, and items. Some activities in the game include mining for ore, fighting hostile mobs, and crafting new blocks and tools by gathering various resources found in the game. The game's open-ended model allows players to create structures, creations and artwork on various multiplayer servers or their own single player maps. Other features include redstone circuits for logic computations and remote actions, minecarts and tracks, and a mysterious underworld called the "Nether". The ultimate goal of the game is to travel to an alternate dimension called the End, and defeat the Enderdragon.
