Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks.

At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition is a version of Minecraft that runs on multiple platforms, such as Windows, mobile devices, consoles, and VR. It is based on the Bedrock codebase, which is written in C++ and has a different UI and rendering system than the Java Edition. Minecraft Bedrock Edition allows cross-play between players on different devices, and has its own content store called Minecraft Marketplace. It also has some features that are not available in the Java Edition, such as commands, add-ons, and achievements. However, it is harder to mod and does not have weekly snapshots of new features like the Java Edition does.
