WHAT IS MINECRAFT?
Minecraft is an open world sandbox video game originally made by Markus "Notch" Persson. It was run by a
company called Mojang before being sold to Microsoft in 2014 for 2.5 billion American dollars. It is the
best-selling video game of all time, and over 200 million copies of the game have been sold.
GAMEPLAY
At the start of the game, players are put in a random location in the game world. They can begin breaking
blocks to collect resources, such as wood and dirt, which can be used later in the game. Players can use
resources to make new tools, such as pickaxes, which let the player gather stone. Different resources
require different tools to collect them. For example, diamonds can only be collected with an iron pickaxe,
or one of a better quality. The game world is mostly infinite. As players explore it, the game makes new
sections of the world using procedural generation. The game generates different kinds of terrain in biomes.

GOAL OF MINECRAFT
Minecraft has very few goals. Players can choose how they want to play. They can choose to fight bosses,
such as the Wither and the Ender Dragon, or choose to explore the world and build. If the player defeats the
Ender Dragon, they can see the credits of the game.[24] Minecraft also has lots of Achievements called
"advancements". These can range from simple things like sleeping in a bed for the first time, to complex
things like discovering every biome in the game. Both boss fights and advancements are optional. In addition
to the default dimension the player starts in (called the "Overworld"), there are also two other dimensions
in Minecraft - the Nether and the End. Both of these can be accessed with special portals. The player can
make Nether portals using obsidian and flint and steel, but End portals have to be found in strongholds.
While it is not necessary to go to these dimensions, they have lots of different items and enemies which can
not be found in the Overworld. The Ender Dragon can only be fought in the End. After that, the player has a
choice of going back to the overworld or to go to the end islands to find an end city and get an Elytra.
