Minecraft Minecraft Minecraft is a 2011 sandbox video game created by Swedish game developer Markus Persson and later developed by Mojang. The game allows players to build with a variety of different blocks in a 3D procedurally generated world, requiring creativity from players. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource gathering, crafting, and combat. Multiple gameplay modes are available, including survival mode in which the player must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, creative mode where players have unlimited resources to build with and the ability to fly, adventure mode where players can play custom maps created
Minecraft updates for this version in 2016. Early on, Persson planned to support the Oculus Rift with a port of Minecraft, however after Facebook acquired Oculus in 2013 he abruptly canceled plans noting "Facebook creeps me out." A community-made modification known as "Minecraft VR" was developed in 2016 to provide virtual reality support to "Minecraft: Java Edition" oriented towards Oculus Rift hardware. A fork of the "Minecraft VR" modification known as "Vivecraft" ported the mod to OpenVR, and is oriented towards supporting HTC Vive hardware. On 15 August 2016, Microsoft launched official Oculus Rift support for "Minecraft" on Windows 10. Upon
