A Minecraft server is a player-owned or business-owned multiplayer game server for the 2011 Mojang Studios video game Minecraft. In this context, the term "server" often refers to a network of connected servers, rather than a single machine.[1] Players can start their own server either by setting one up on a computer using software provided by Mojang, or by using a hosting provider so they can have their server run on dedicated machines with guaranteed uptime.[2] The largest server is widely accepted to be the minigame server Hypixel, and previously, Mineplex.[3][4]

Minecraft multiplayer servers are controlled by server operators, who have access to server commands such as setting the time of day, teleporting players, setting the world spawn, and changing players' gamemode. The server owner (or users that have access to the live server files) can also set up and install plugins to change the mechanics of the server, and can also set up restrictions concerning which usernames or IP addresses are allowed or disallowed to enter the game server.[2]

Multiplayer servers have a wide range of activities: with some servers having unique premises, rules, and customs. Player versus player (PvP) combat can be enabled to allow fighting between players. Custom mods and plugins (server side mods) can be used with modified servers to allow actions that are not normally possible in the vanilla form of the game.[5] There also exists a modification of the server software that can allow crossplay between the Java and Bedrock editions of the game.[6]

History

[edit]

Pre-Release

[edit]

Multiplayer was first added to Minecraft on May 31, 2009, In update 0.15 during the Classic phase of the game.[7] The first server mods quickly began to arise around this time.[8]

On September 3, 2010, work began on hMod, a notable mod which implemented an API for plugins which ensured they would remain compatible with each other provided they were using hMod. Several notable projects were created around this time for hMod, such as WorldEdit, some of which remains maintained for more modern platforms to this day.[9]

Multiplayer for Minecraft's survival mode was released on August 4, 2010.[9] The oldest server map is called "Freedonia", on the Minecraft server MinecraftOnline. The server and map were created within the first hour of Minecraft survival-mode multiplayer being released.[10]

Following stagnation in the development of hMod, a spiritual successor called Bukkit would be created by a group of hMod developers: Nathan 'Dinnerbone' Adams, Erik 'Grum' Broes, Warren 'EvilSeph' Loo, Nathan 'Tahg' Gilbert, and sk89q. The project would begin work on December 21, 2010, and officially release in 2011. The project consisted of Bukkit, licensed under GPL, and CraftBukkit, licensed under LGPL. Notably, the licensing was not legally permissible due to the inclusion of proprietary code from Mojang.[8][9]

On January 9, 2011, the first Minecraft server proxy, CraftProxy, would be created. It was a very basic proxy which primarily served to allow multiple servers to be run on the same computer with different ports.[9]

Post-Release

[edit]

In December 2011, Mojang and the founding Bukkit team would meet at Mojang's headquarters to discuss the potential of an official Minecraft modding API. On February 28, 2012, Mojang and Bukkit jointly announced that all founding members of the Bukkit project would be joining Mojang as employees to work on an official modding API (except for sk89q, who had left the project in early 2011). This would never be released, though the hired developers did make significant technical contributions in other ways.[8][9][11][12]

In May 2012, a server implementation called CraftBukkit—would be created by a team including developer md_5. The name was a parody of its upstream project, the recently defunct fork of CraftBukkit called CraftBukkit++. The implementation would be rebranded to Spigot on January 15, 2013, as the project grew in size.[9]

In August 2012, work began on a series of Minecraft server proxies by md_5 and Codename_B which were capable of facilitating the transfer of players between different servers connected to the proxy. This eventually culminated in a layer-7 proxy known as BungeeCord, which began development on October 4, 2012.[9]

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.[13][14] Unlike a standard server, only invited players can join Realms servers, and these servers do not use IP addresses. Since 2016, Realms have enabled Minecraft to support cross-platform play between Windows 10, iOS, and Android platforms.[15] It is a subscription-based service,[16] allowing for either three or eleven players in the realm at once depending on the subscription tier.[17] While Realms can also be purchased on the Java edition of the game, it does not enable cross platform play with Bedrock players.[18]

On the 14th of June 2014, Mojang began enforcing the EULA of Minecraft: Java Edition to prevent servers from selling pay-to-win items in microtransactions, which many players thought unfairly affected gameplay.[19][20] After this change, servers were only allowed to sell cosmetic items.[21] Many servers closed shortly afterwards.[22]

On June 23, 2014, the Paper project (originally PaperSpigot) would be launched by Z750 and gsand as a fork of Spigot following increased reluctance of Spigot to accept community contributions. The project would see many improvements in performance compared to Spigot.[9] As of June 2025, the community-ran metrics platform bStats tracks an all-time record of over 130,000 Paper servers running concurrently, taking up over 60% of all server implementations stemming from the Bukkit ecosystem.[23][24]

On August 24, 2014, EvilSeph would announce the discontinuation of the Bukkit project citing the legal grey area of the project as well as Mojang's new enforcement of the EULA.[25] This would then be rebutted by Mojang employees over Twitter, who stated that the Bukkit Team had transferred their rights to the project to Mojang as part of their employment for the company. Developers Dinnerbone and Grum stated they would update Bukkit to the next version of Minecraft themselves, clarifying that Bukkit still was not going to be an official modding API.[9] On September 5, 2014, a prominent Bukkit contributor identified as Wolvereness sent a DMCA takedown notice to GitHub to remove all of their contributions to Bukkit and its forks (including Spigot) due to copyright infringement caused by the inclusion of proprietary Mojang code in Bukkit.[26] The project never received another update, effectively shutting it down.[8][9]

Spigot would return with an updated version on November 28, 2014, following migration of code from GitHub to a self-hosted Stash server, the introduction of a Contributor License Agreement, and the development of build tooling designed to evade the DMCA takedown by providing build tools which added patches to a copy of Bukkit before the takedown instead of distributing pre-compiled binaries. This led to Spigot becoming the de facto successor to Bukkit.[9][27]

On September 20, 2017, the "Better Together Update" was released for Bedrock codebase-derived editions of the game, which added cross platform multiplayer support, along with four featured servers: Lifeboat, Mineplex, InPVP and CubeCraft.[28]

On July 27, 2022, player chat reporting was added as a part of "The Wild Update", 1.19.1. This allowed players to report abusive chat messages sent by other players directly to Mojang, and players could be banned from playing on multiplayer servers, including realms, as a whole for violating Microsoft's community standards.[29]

On November 7, 2023, Mojang Studios, in collaboration with GamerSafer, opened the official server list of Minecraft.[30]

Management

[edit]

Managing a Minecraft server can be a full-time job for many server owners. Several large servers employ a staff of developers, managers, and artists.[22] Running a large server can be expensive for its operators,[31] particularly those that have more than a thousand players. Expenses may include salaries, hardware, bandwidth, and DDoS protection.[32] Dunbar stated that MCGamer, which has had over 50,000 daily players, has expenses that can be "well into the five-figure marks" per month. As of 2015, expenses of Hypixel, the largest server, are nearly $100,000 per month.[32] Many servers sell in-game ranks, cosmetics and passes to certain minigames or gamemodes to cover expenses.[22][19]

Technical aspects

[edit]

For the Java edition, Mojang release an official jar for server operators to run their servers. Third party server jars also exist; typically utilizing resources more efficiently than the official server software and allowing the use of plugins.[33] However, Minecraft servers have traditionally been restricted to running most operations on a single core (main thread) with a limited amount of other operations being able to be run asynchronously, making them inefficient for large player counts.[34]

Minecraft Java uses the default port 25565 to listen and accept new connections.[35]

Notable servers

[edit]

The most popular Java Edition server is Hypixel, which, released in April 2013, has had over 20 million unique players.[3][4] In 2021, CubeCraft Games, released in December 2012 on Java Edition and in 2018 on Bedrock Edition,[36] had over 30 million unique server connections, and a peak player count of more than 57,000 concurrent players.[37] Other popular servers include MCGamer, released in April 2012, which has over 3.5 million unique players;[32][when?] Wynncraft, released in April 2013, which has over 1 million unique players;[38] and Emenbee, released in 2011, which also has over 1 million unique players.[39][40] As of 2014, servers such as Mineplex, Hypixel, Shotbow and The Hive receive "well over a million unique users every month", according to Polygon.[20]

I am more of a Wikipedia reader than I am an editor. I randomly browse through Wikipedia simply reading articles for fun, and I edit when I come across something that needs to be edited. Almost every edit I make will be minor.

More recently, after graduating college (FINALLY), I have begun more frequent patrols for vandalism (almost exclusively by IPs). Therefore, I have applied for Reviewer and Rollbacker status. I have earned both. I will not abuse those powers. EVER. (╬ ಠ益ಠ) I almost always use an edit summary. You should, too! :D :D

WHY IS UNDOING VANDALISM SO ADDICTIVE?!?!? I usually thank the people that beat me to reverting (rV) vandalism, btw.

When considering WP:NOT3RR, I will only continue reverting if the edits are clearly vandalism. As I do not follow who is socking and such, I will stop at 3 reverts if there is any chance that the edits are not vandalism. I will also usually justify my passing of 3 reverts on any page where it isn't absolutely blatant.

If you see an account called gatemansgc or gatemansg1 anywhere, it is usually me. Except on Gaia, the site that I frequent the most. Those accounts exist there, but are barely used anymore.


Every fancy thing on this userpage and my talk page were nabbed from other people's pages. Feel free to use them on your own~

The Dream SMP (sometimes referred to as DSMP[1][2] and formerly known as the Dream Team SMP[3][4]) was an invite-only survival multiplayer[a] (SMP) Minecraft server. YouTubers Dream and GeorgeNotFound created a roleplay with Minecraft content creators. They played fictionalized versions of themselves in a loose storyline. Participants livestreamed on Twitch and YouTube, and it became a popular Minecraft web series.[5][6] The server officially shut down as of April 10, 2023.[7]

History and plot

[edit]

The Dream SMP was created by Dream and GeorgeNotFound (although hosted by badboyhalo) in April or May 2020[b] as a small server for a few friends. It quickly gained popularity, in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic and collaborations across various Twitch and YouTube channels.[11] It starred fellow Minecraft YouTubers such as Sapnap and TommyInnit,[11][12] who roleplayed as characters loosely based on themselves. They engaged in lengthy conflicts over political power and rare artifacts.[13]

Most content was improvised, apart from major plot points which were loosely scripted in advance.[6][13] Wilbur Soot, who planned many of the early story arcs, said in an interview for Insider, "I write up a series of plot hooks and points that should tie together, however we improv[ise] dialogue and comedy throughout to take us from point to point."[9][14] The server had over 20 "eras" in its plotline and over 30 characters as of August 2021.[15] The server's early storyline was inspired by Hamilton, and the musical was referenced many times by the server members.[14][12]

Within the plot, characters could die up to three times before being permanently dead. Some members played multiple characters, including ghost versions of themselves. Dream used a separate Minecraft account to play as DreamXD, the god of the Dream SMP and who has canon access to creative mode.[9][6]

The Disc Saga, the server's longest-running story arc, was a series of events centered around two rare music discs belonging to TommyInnit. Throughout the saga, Dream and other characters fought over ownership of the discs,[11][16] and used them as leverage against each other. The Disc Saga concluded in January 2021, with Dream being imprisoned.[9][17] TommyInnit's Twitch broadcast of the events peaked at over 650,000 viewers, making it the third-highest all-time concurrent viewer livestream on the platform.[17][18]

The flag of L'Manburg

Another conflict broke out when Wilbur Soot founded L'Manburg, an in-game breakaway state for non-American players. It seceded from the Greater Dream SMP nation and won a war for independence.[9][19] L'Manburg would later hold a presidential election, which involved heated roleplay debates between the fictional political parties SWAG2020 and POG2020.[14][10] When SWAG2020 running mate GeorgeNotFound failed to show up, Quackity, the presidential candidate for the party, formed an impromptu coalition party with jschlatt, SchWAG2020. This coalition party went on to win the election with 46 percent of the vote.[12] In January 2021, L'Manburg would go on to be invaded, destroyed, and permanently disbanded.[9][19]

The heavy emphasis on the roleplaying aspect of the server and their overarching plots attracted significant attention. According to Rich Stanton of PC Gamer, "L'Manburg was taken very seriously by its players, to the extent the nation has not only a flag but a national anthem."[19] The plot was likened to live theater by Cecilia D'Anastasio of Wired, describing it as a "Machiavellian political drama".[12] Ryan Broderick of Polygon described the server's plot as being played out like "a silly Game of Thrones with anime pacing", and described the story's characters as being "not unlike how the wrestler John Cena plays the wrestler John Cena inside the narrative of WWE".[15] The Disc Saga was described by Julia Alexander of The Verge as a "dramatic tale of good versus evil" as Dream and TommyInnit fought over dominance in the server.[13]

In a 2022 interview with Variety, Dream said that the Dream SMP was just Minecraft being used as a storytelling medium as opposed to being an actual game, with GeorgeNotFound adding they do not actually "really" play Minecraft when doing Dream SMP streams.[20]

In November 2022, TommyInnit and Tubbo did four consecutive live streams on Twitch, starting on November 10 and ending on November 13, describing them as the Dream SMP season 1 finale. These four streams concluded with the server being blown up by Tubbo and Jack Manifold. The last part of the stream featured Dream, TommyInnit, and Tubbo appearing on a new world with no memories of what had happened earlier in the stream. Tubbo later announced that all subsequent finale streams will end in the server blowing up, calling it "The Event." In the same stream, he hinted that season 2 may have references to season 1.

In March 2023, Dream announced that there would likely be no season 2; in response, CaptainPuffy uploaded over 300 images taken of locations on the server at various stages on her website.[21]

Several members streamed on the SMP together on April 10, 2023, to defeat the Ender Dragon (a boss in Minecraft), which was inaccessible until that day due to Dream's rules.[7]

Cultural impact

[edit]

The Dream SMP garnered a large following and a popular fandom,[13][22] with hundreds of thousands of viewers turning up for live events.[5] Its storylines are analyzed in documentary-style videos, such as those of MatPat, who describes the series as "narrative storytelling through the lens of gaming".[23] Broderick also attributes the Dream SMP's unprecedented success to how its story is showcased, describing it as being "a profound idea [that] essentially turns viewers into their own directors, hopping through streams to see which version of the story they want to focus on".[15] In September 2021, Benjamin Herold of The Hechinger Report said that the Dream SMP "helped millions of kids stay connected to the social world" during the COVID-19 pandemic.[14]

The server's storylines have inspired fan art, fan fiction, animations, and online musicals.[6][13] Although unusual for an online creator, Dream encouraged fan fiction to be written about him, stating that it ultimately helps his career.[24] One notable fan creator is Sad-ist, an animator from the Philippines who illustrates events from the server's story set to music and dialogue clips.[14]

An offhand joke post on Tumblr made at the expense of the Dream SMP fandom led to the creation of a fan-made server with its own plot and lore, known as "Penis SMP".[15]

On July 24, 2021, the flag of L'Manburg was spotted at an anti-vaccine protest in London, next to a Donald Trump flag.[19][25]

In pop culture

[edit]

The Verge described the Dream SMP as a "worldwide phenomenon", with Dream SMP fans creating mass amounts of fan fiction, fan art (WolfytheWitch, SAD-ist, and etc) and fan songs (I.e. works from Derivakat, Precious Jewel Amor, kroh, Knight of Endale, Amanda Fagan and etc). A notable fan work, Heat Waves, which is a Dream SMP-related fan fiction series hosted on Archive of Our Own, reached the top three in kudos on the website. It is named after the song "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals, and is suggested to be one of the reasons the song topped the 2020 Triple J Hottest 100 countdown in Australia.[13][26]

"Dream SMP" was listed as a genre in Spotify Wrapped in late 2021. The genre encompasses fan-created music about the events of the server, music made by Dream SMP members, and music used in Dream SMP streams, but largely was used as a catchall for music by YouTubers with similar fanbases. The artists that are part of the genre include Glass Animals, Wilbur Soot, Toby Fox, Derivakat, and Alec Benjamin.[27][28][29]

The server was visited by several notable guest stars, including KSI,[15] Vikkstar123, LazarBeam,[30] Ninja, Lil Nas X, Pokimane, Corpse Husband, and MrBeast.[6] MrBeast staged a game on the server by hiding gift cards worth $100,000 for Dream SMP members to find, which streamer Tubbo won.[31]

Minecraft is a media franchise developed from and centered around the video game of the same name. Developed by Mojang Studios (formerly known as Mojang AB) and Xbox Game Studios, which are owned by Microsoft Corporation, the franchise consists of five video games, along with various books, merchandise, events, board games, and a theatrical film. Microsoft acquired Mojang AB in 2014, alongside the Minecraft game and its editions.

Minecraft

Main article: Minecraft

Minecraft is a 3D survival sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios and owned by Microsoft, spanning multiple platforms. It was first released by the independent video game designer Markus Persson in 2009, before giving the development to Jens Bergensten in 2011 after the game's full 1.0 update. The game has no specific goals to accomplish, allowing players a large amount of freedom in choosing how to play the game.[1] Gameplay is in the first-person perspective,[2] with the core gameplay modes being survival, in which players must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health (optionally with a "hardcore" limit, which deletes the world after the player dies); and creative, in which players have unlimited resources, no hunger and are able to fly. The game world is composed of voxels—cubes, commonly called "blocks"—representing various materials, such as dirt, stone, ores, tree trunks, water, and lava, which are arranged in a 3-dimensional grid. Gameplay revolves around picking up and placing these objects as the player pleases, while being able to move freely around the world.[3]

Minecraft: Story Mode

[edit]
Main article: Minecraft: Story Mode

Minecraft: Story Mode, an episodic spin-off game developed by Telltale Games in collaboration with Mojang, was announced in December 2014.[4][5][6] Consisting of five episodes plus three additional downloadable episodes, the standalone game is a narrative and player choice-driven, and it was released on Windows, OS X, iOS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One via download on 13 October 2015. A physical disc that grants access to all episodes was released for the aforementioned four consoles on 27 October.[6] Wii U[7] and Nintendo Switch versions were available in 2017.[8][9] From late 2018 to 5 December 2022, it was available on Netflix, where only the first five episodes were available.[10][11] The first trailer for the game was shown at Minecon on 4 July 2015, revealing some of the game's features. In Minecraft: Story Mode, players control Jesse (voiced by Patton Oswalt and Catherine Taber),[6] who sets out on a journey with his or her friends to find The Order of the Stone—four adventurers who slayed an Ender Dragon—in order to save their world. Brian Posehn, Ashley Johnson, Scott Porter, Martha Plimpton, Dave Fennoy, Corey Feldman, Billy West and Paul Reubens portray the rest of the cast.[12]

Minecraft: Story Mode - Season 2

[edit]

The second season was released from July to December 2017. It continued the story from the first season, with the player's choices affecting elements within Season Two. Patton Oswalt, Catherine Taber, Ashley Johnson, and Scott Porter were confirmed to continue voicework for the new season. The game supports the new Crowd Play feature that Telltale introduced in Batman: The Telltale Series, allowing up to 2,000 audience members to vote on decisions for the player using Twitch or other streaming services.[13] It was shut down along with the original Minecraft: Story Mode, on 25 June 2019.[10]

Minecraft Earth

[edit]
Main article: Minecraft Earth

Minecraft Earth was an augmented reality sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios and published by Xbox Game Studios. A spin-off of the video game Minecraft, it was first announced in May 2019, and was available on Android, iOS, and iPadOS. The game allowed players to interact with the world and build Minecraft-style structures and objects that will persist and can be modified by other players. The game implemented the resource-gathering and many of the other features of the original game in an augmented-reality setting. The game had a beta release in July 2019.[14] The game was free-to-play, and was released in early access in October 2019. The game was shut down on 30 June 2021, and players who made in-game purchases on the app received a free copy of the Bedrock Edition.[15][16]

Minecraft Dungeons

[edit]
Main article: Minecraft Dungeons

Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon crawler video game developed by Mojang Studios and Double Eleven. It was published by Xbox Game Studios. It is a spin-off of Minecraft and was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 26 May 2020. The game received mixed reviews; many deemed the game fun and charming, with praise for its visuals and music. However, its simple gameplay and use of procedural generation received a more mixed reception, with its short story and lack of depth criticized. It is a hack and slash-styled[17][18] dungeon crawler, rendered from an isometric perspective.[19] Players explore procedurally generated and hand crafted dungeons filled with new variants of existing Minecraft monsters and also deal with traps, puzzles, bosses and finding treasure.[20][21]

Minecraft Dungeons Arcade

[edit]

In early 2021, Mojang announced an arcade adaptation version of Minecraft Dungeons associated with collectible cards.[22][23]

Minecraft Legends

[edit]
Main article: Minecraft Legends

Minecraft Legends is an action-strategy game developed by Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive, announced on 12 June 2022 and released on 18 April 2023.[24][25] It stopped receiving updates on January 10, 2024.[26]

Films

[edit]

A Minecraft Movie (2025)

[edit]
Main article: A Minecraft Movie

In 2012, Mojang received offers from Hollywood producers who wanted to produce Minecraft-related TV shows; however, Mojang stated they would only engage in such projects when "the right idea comes along".[27] In February 2014, Persson revealed that Mojang was in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to develop an official Minecraft film to be produced by Roy Lee and Jill Messick.[28][29] In October 2014, Mojang COO Vu Bui stated that the movie was "in its early days of development", saying that it was a "large-budget" production, and also said that it might not be released until 2018.[30][31] That same month, Warner Bros. hired Shawn Levy to direct the film,[32] while in December, it was confirmed that Levy and writers Kieran and Michele Mulroney, who were developing the film together had left the project.[33]

In July 2015, it was announced that Warner Bros. had hired Rob McElhenney to direct the film. According to McElhenney, he had been drawn to the film based on the open-world nature of the game, an idea Warner Bros. had initially agreed with and for which they had provided him with a preliminary US$150 million budget.[34][35] In 2016, early production started on the film, including in June assigning a release date of 24 May 2019,[36] in October setting Jason Fuchs to write the script,[37] and in November contracting Steve Carell to star as the voice of an unknown character.[38] McElhenney's Minecraft film "slowly died on the vine," and due to scheduling conflicts, he left the film in August 2018,[39] Aaron and Adam Nee were tapped to rewrite the script, and the film was delayed as a result. No new director was announced at that time.[40]

In January 2019, Peter Sollett was announced to write and direct the film, featuring an entirely different story from McElhenney's version. Messick, who died in 2018, will be posthumously credited as producer.[41] In April 2019, Warner Bros. scheduled the new film to be released in theaters on 4 March 2022.[42][43] In June 2019, Allison Schroeder was hired to write the script and co-write the film with Sollett.[44] In October 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Warner Bros. to adjust its release schedule, including removing the Minecraft film from its planned release date.[45]

Sollett instead directed Metal Lords, which was released exclusively on Netflix in April 2022. That same month, production on the Minecraft film was announced to be moving forward without Sollett and Schroeder, now with Jared Hess set to direct and Jason Momoa in early talks to star. The film was also confirmed to be live action.[46] Some sources also said that Chris Bowman and Hubbel Palmer would rewrite the script.[47][48] In early April 2023, it was reported that the film would release on 4 April 2025.[49][50] In May, Matt Berry entered negotiations to join the cast.[51] On 19 June 2023, it was reported that principal photography on the film would start on 7 August in New Zealand,[52] before filming was delayed in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[53] Following the conclusion of the strike in early November 2023, filming was reported to be aiming for an early 2024 start.[54] Later that month, Danielle Brooks and Sebastian Eugene Hansen joined the cast as Dawn and Henry, respectively, and filming was scheduled to begin in late December 2023.[55] In early December, Emma Myers also joined the cast.[56] In early January 2024, Jack Black was cast as Steve, teasing his casting in the film via his official Instagram account.[57] The film's first teaser trailer was released on September 4, 2024 to a mixed response from audiences.[58] A sequel is scheduled to be released on July 23, 2027.[59]

Animated series

[edit]

In May 2024, during the fifteenth anniversary of the first Minecraft version, it was announced that an animated series based on the video game franchise was being produced by WildBrain as well as Mojang. The series is being described as "[featuring] an original story with new characters, showing the world of Minecraft in a new light." The series is set to be released on Netflix on an unknown date.[60]

[edit]

Three tabletop games have been produced as official tie-in games for Minecraft. The first two are both card games, namely Minecraft Card Game?, produced by Mattel in 2015,[70] and Uno Minecraft, produced by Mattel in 2016.[71]

Towards the end of 2019, Minecraft: Builders & Biomes, a board game version of Minecraft, was announced.[72] The game was geared towards the family market, catered for 2–4 players, and was published by Ravensburger. Players explore the Overworld, build structures, and mine resources in a quest to score the most points.[73] At the end of 2020, an expansion for the tabletop game was released, titled Minecraft: Farmer's Market Expansion, which introduced a new farm biome that enabled players to produce vegetables.[74]

[edit]
Main article: Lego Minecraft

The first Lego set based on Minecraft was released on 6 June 2012.[75] The set, called "Micro World", centres around a microscale representation of a forest from the game and includes Lego versions of the game's default player character and a creeper.[76] Mojang submitted the concept of Minecraft merchandise to Lego in December 2011 for the Lego Cuusoo program, from which it quickly received 10,000 votes by users, prompting Lego to review the concept.[77] Lego Cuusoo approved the concept in January 2012 and began developing sets based on Minecraft.[77] Two more sets based on the Nether and village areas of the game were released on 1 September 2013. A fourth Micro World set, the End, was released in June 2014. Six more, larger Lego minifigure scale, sets became available November 2014,[78] with more released every year since.

Other merchandise

[edit]

Mojang often collaborates with Jinx, an online game merchandise store, to sell Minecraft merchandise, such as clothing, foam pickaxes, and toys of creatures in the game.[79] By May 2012, over 1 million dollars were made from Minecraft merchandise sales. T-shirts and socks were the most popular products.[27] In March 2013, Mojang signed a deal with the Egmont Group, a children's book publisher, to create Minecraft handbooks, annuals, poster books, and magazines.[80][81][82] Amiibo figurines of the characters Steve and Alex were released in September 2022, and are compatible with the video game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.[83][84] In 2021 the Australia Post created a Minecraft-themed postage stamp pack.[85] In late 2024, Australian dairy company Norco released a range of flavoured milks as part of a shared goal of "building a better world".[86] Minecraft content is scheduled to be released for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds as part of its DLC season pass.[87]

Events

[edit]

Minecon

[edit]

Minecon (stylized as "MineCon" or "MINECON") is an official convention dedicated to Minecraft. The first one was held in November 2011 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. All 4,500 tickets for MineCon 2011 were sold out by 31 October.[88] The event included the official launch of Minecraft; keynote speeches, including one by Persson; building and costume contests; Minecraft-themed breakout classes; exhibits by leading gaming and Minecraft-related companies; commemorative merchandise; and autograph and picture times with Mojang employees and well-known contributors from the Minecraft community.[89] After MineCon, there was an Into The Nether after-party with deadmau5.[90] Free codes were given to every attendee of MineCon that unlocked alpha versions of Mojang's Scrolls, as well as an additional non-Mojang game, Cobalt, developed by Oxeye Game Studios.[91] Similar events occurred in MineCon 2012, which took place in Disneyland Paris in November.[92] The tickets for the 2012 event sold out in less than two hours.[93] MineCon 2013 was held in Orlando in November.[94][95] MineCon 2015 was held in London in July.[96] MineCon 2016 was held in Anaheim in September.[97] MineCon 2017 was held as a livestream instead of being held at a show floor. Titled "MINECON Earth", it was streamed live in November.[98]

MineCon Earth 2018 followed the same format as the 2017 event, but was renamed in 2019 to "MINECON Live" to avoid confusion with Mojang's augmented-reality game, Minecraft Earth.

Minecraft Festival

[edit]
Main article: Minecraft Festival

In MineCon Live 2019, Mojang announced Minecraft Festival, an in-person event to be held 25–27 September 2020, in Orlando, Florida. The event has since been delayed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[99][100][101][102]

Minecraft Live

[edit]
Main article: Minecraft Live

On 3 September 2020, it was announced by Mojang that a new livestreamed event would be taking place to replace the postponed Minecraft Festival.[101] It took place on 3 October 2020,[103] showing the features of Minecraft's "Caves and Cliffs" update.[104] The second Minecraft Live took place on 16 October 2021 and showcased more of the Caves and Cliffs part 2 update, along with announcing and showing of features for the Wild Update.[105] The third Minecraft Live took place on 15 October 2022 and announced more of the features in the Wild Update and the (at the time) unnamed next update.[106][107]

Notable achievements

[edit]

The Minecraft franchise covers a wide range of content. In late 2021, videos of Minecraft hit 1 trillion views on YouTube.[108] The video game Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, surpassing Tetris and Grand Theft Auto V with over 300,000,000 copies sold.[109]
