The game was further developed under Persson’s guidance by the company Mojang and in 2014 Mojang was acquired by Microsoft. Minecraft is a sandbox style game created by Swedish programmer and gamer Markus “Notch” Persson. It looks like a blocky 8-bit adventure from yesteryear, but it certainly doesn’t seem to play like the linear adventures many of us grew up with. Let’s start with the most basic question (but that isn’t really all that basic): what exactly is Minecraft? Many parents look at Minecraft and are puzzled by the game. Between our introductory series and subsequent articles we’ve practically written an 80,000-plus word book on the topic and reading through our collection will take you from a total novice to Minecraft mastery. If you want more in depth look at the game (either as a potential player or a parent really committed to learning the ins and out) we’d strongly suggest you start with our 15-part introduction to Minecraft and then follow up by browsing our general Minecraft articles. This article is intended to take someone from knowing nothing about Minecraft to having a basic understanding of what the game is with an emphasis on delivering the content for parents, guardians, and other adults in the life of a child interested in the game. We want to emphasize the crash course bit before we proceed.
