About the game
Minecraft is a 3D sandbox adventure game developed by Mojang Studios where players can interact with a fully customizable three-dimensional world made of blocks and entities. Its diverse gameplay options allow players to choose the way they play, creating countless possibilities.
There are three actively maintained editions of Minecraft: Java Edition (Windows, macOS, Linux); Bedrock Edition (Windows, mobile, and consoles); and Minecraft Education (for educational settings). There is also a localized release of the game for mainland China, referred to as China Edition.
