Minecraft video games

Supported games

Minecraft is a sandbox construction video game developed by Mojang Studios where players interact with a fully modifiable three-dimensional environment made of blocks and entities. Its diverse gameplay lets players choose the way they play, allowing for countless possibilities.
There are three actively maintained editions of Minecraft: Java Edition, Bedrock Edition, and Education Edition.

Minecraft Dungeons is an action-adventure role-playing video game where up to four players can travel through procedurally generated levels, fight monsters, and face off against the main antagonist of the story, the Arch-Illager.

Minecraft Dungeons Arcade is arcade variant of Minecraft Dungeons, which requires four players to play through levels and defeat large groups of mobs. Players can get equipment, skins, and pets by scanning collectible cards.

Discontinued games

Minecraft Earth was a free-to-play augmented reality spin-off mobile game where players travel to real-life locations to build structures and collect resources. It featured many unique gameplay aspects and interactions similar to the main game. The game became discontinued on June 30, 2021.

Minecraft: Story Mode was an episodic point-and-click narrative-driven graphic adventure video game based on Minecraft, made by Telltale Games where players had to complete chapters in order to progress, and their choices and actions had effects on the story.

Minecraft: Story Mode - Season Two was the sequel to Minecraft: Story Mode and had a new story continuing the adventures of the original game, with elements from newer versions of Minecraft.
