Minecraft is a sandbox building video game which allows players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. It is currently in development. The game is divided into two main modes, Alpha and Classic, where Classic is focused entirely on construction while Alpha additionally contains enemies, a health meter, and additional features and items. Alpha is the currently updated version of the game.
Minecraft was developed for about a week before its public release on May 17, 2009 on the TIGSource forums, where it gained a considerable level of popularity. It has been continually updated and patched since then, and while still an alpha release, it has garnered hundreds of thousands of sales and critical notice and acclaim from many reviewers.
Minecraft has two variants, Alpha and Classic, both with single-player and multiplayer options. Classic is free and includes creative (only the building aspects of the game with unlimited blocks) and survival (containing monsters and a much greater variety of blocks and items available, as well as requiring players to mine their own blocks) modes, while Alpha only features survival mode, albeit with a large number of features unavailable in Classic. Alpha is currently the latest release of Minecraft. It includes music by Daniel "C418" Rosenfeld. For multiplayer games, servers are hosted by individual players or groups; there are no "official" servers.
