A guy with the name Markus Persson, programmed a game called "RubyDung", in 2008 "Cave Game" and later in 2009 "Minecraft". In Cave Game, there was no gamemode, only grass and cobblesetone.
In 2009, Markus Persson now with nickname "Notch" created a company named Mojang Studios. Minecraft was then officially released 18. November 2011 during Minecon.
And so, Minecraft turned out to be an amazing success!
During the time it was sold, it sold over 176 milions copies of game on all platforms and in the year 2019 it became the 2nd highest selling video game of all time, right behind Tetris.
In 2014, Microsoft bought the game for 2,3 billion dollars.
Minecraft is still updating, and the game modes for them too. There are also logic gates, electrical circuits, 3 gamemodes (survival, hardcore, and creative), advancements and more things to do.
