in 2009, persson began working on a clone of "infiniminer", a game developed by zachtronics and released earlier that year. persson used assets and parts of the engine code he had created for an earlier project, "rubydung", and presented first prototypes of the game through videos uploaded to youtube, starting in may that year. the first alpha version of the game, now titled "minecraft", was released on 17 may 2009, followed by pre-orders for the full release being accepted from 13 june 2009, with persson reusing the "mojang specifications" name for the game's release. all sales ran directly through "minecraft" website, wherefore persson did not have to split income with third parties. in less than a month, "minecraft" had generated enough revenue for persson to take time off his day job to dedicate more of his schedule to developing "minecraft", and by may 2010, he was able to quit his day job entirely.

multiplayer in "minecraft" is available through direct game-to-game multiplayer, lan play, local split screen, and servers (player-hosted and business-hosted). it enables multiple players to interact and communicate with each other on a single world. players can run their own servers, use a hosting provider, or connect directly to another player's game via xbox live. single-player worlds have local area network support, allowing players to join a world on locally interconnected computers without a server setup. "minecraft" multiplayer servers are guided by server operators ("op" for short), who have access to server commands such as setting the time of day and teleporting players. operators can also set up restrictions concerning which usernames or ip addresses are allowed or disallowed to enter the server. multiplayer servers have a wide range of activities, with some servers having their own unique rules and customs. one of the largest and most popular servers is hypixel, which is visited by over 14 million players. player versus player combat (pvp) can be enabled to allow fighting between players. many servers have custom plugins that allow actions that are not normally possible. in 2013, mojang announced "minecraft realms", a server hosting service intended to enable players to run server multiplayer games easily and safely without having to set up their own. unlike a standard server, only invited players can join realms servers, and these servers do not use ip addresses. "minecraft: java edition" realms server owners can invite up to twenty people to play on their server, with up to ten players online at a time. "minecraft" realms server owners can invite up to 3000 people to play on their server, with up to ten players online at one time. the "minecraft: java edition" realms servers do not support user-made plugins, but players can play custom "minecraft" maps. "minecraft" realms servers support user-made add-ons, resource packs, behavior packs, and custom "minecraft" maps. at electronic entertainment expo 2016, it was announced that realms would enable "minecraft" to support cross-platform play between windows 10, ios, and android platforms starting in june 2016, with xbox one and nintendo switch support to come later in 2017, and support for virtual reality devices. on 31 july 2017, mojang released the beta version of the update allowing cross-platform play. nintendo switch support for realms was released in july 2018.
