Hopefully you're familiar with the game of Minecraft, but incase you're not let me fill you in. In a nutshell the game started out as a small (very small) indie game created by only one person. The game hit the Alpha version in 2010 the Beta in 2011, and the Official Release in Late 2011. Ever since the Alpha version the game was being brought by millions across the globe. At the moment about 30 million people have brought the PC version of the game.

Minecraft History
In 2009 'Markus 'Notch' Person' was working for a small game designer company until he quit in June. Even though unemployed, Markus was enthusiastic about his own new company. In August Markus came across the game '''Infiniminer. '''The game was about placing blocks in a randomly generated world. Seems alot like Minecraft, right! In 2009 Markus began work on his new project name Cave Game, but late on it was named Minecraft. In 2010 the game it's first version called Alpha, it was the first development version where basic things and blocks where added, that were guarenteed to be changed in the future. Throughout the Alpha version many Minecraft super-fans were creating custom plug-in's and mods, to hopefully give the developers ideas to what to add into the major version of the game.

Amd sure enough the game did hit another major version which was titled Beta. Many important things where added like Beds and Cake. You could also explore a more gigantic inviroment with many more things to do.

Since at the stage Minecraft was so popular, fans were wanting other games to be created, and because Notch had to take a break from Minecraft, to work on other projects, he left Jeb or Jens Bergensten in charge, at least untill Notch came back to working on it. Jeb added and changed many stuff in Minecraft, he added a new snapshot's feature which are basically mini versions of the game, as well as a whole host of new blocks to play around with. After Beta, when November 2012 came Minecraft was officially released as 1.0.0.
