It was publicly released for the PC on May 17, 2009 in his alpha version, and after several changes the full version was released on November 18, 2011.

One month before the release of the full version, on October 18, 2011, was released an Android version, and on November 17, 2011, was released the iOS version. On May 9, 2012, the game was released for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade. All the Minecraft versions receive regular updates since the release.

In Minecraft the players can build constructions with cubes with three-dimensional textures, equally they can explore the environment, collect resources and create objects with different utilities, fight monsters or other players, etc. The game has two main modes: Survival, where the players need to collect resources to keep health and hunger; and Creative, where the players have unlimited access to the resources of the game, the ability of flying, and don't require health and hunger.
