Minecraft is a sandbox construction video game developed by Mojang Studios. Gameplay involves players interacting with the game world by placing and breaking various types of blocks in a three-dimensional environment. In this environment, players can build creative structures, creations, and artwork on multiplayer servers and singleplayer worlds across multiple game modes. As of May 2020, Minecraft has sold 200 million copies across all platforms, making it the best-selling video game of all time, and the ninth best-selling video game franchise of all time.
Minecraft Dungeons is an action-adventure role-playing video game where up to four players travel through procedurally generated levels, fight monsters and face off against the main antagonist, the Arch-Illager.
Minecraft Earth is an augmented reality mobile game where players travel to real-life locations to build structures and collect resources. It features many unique gameplay aspects and interactions similar to the main game.
Minecraft: Story Mode was a series of episodic point-and-click narrative-driven graphic adventure video games based on the sandbox video game Minecraft, where player choices and actions had significant effects on later story elements.
