Have you ever wondered how the biggest video game in history got
its start? Grab your diamond pickaxe and join Mira and Finn on an
epic journey to discover how Minecraft was made! Back in 2009, a
single programmer named Markus Persson (known online as Notch!)
started building a little block-stacking project called "Cave Game"
in his spare time. It was glitchy and didn't even have crafting
yet, but players absolutely loved it! Listen in to learn how this
simple idea turned into a global phenomenon where players build
massive castles, floating cities, and even working computers out of
redstone! You won't believe how this one-man project grew so huge
that Microsoft bought it for a mind-blowing 2.5 billion dollars!
Plus, discover the hilarious secret behind the game's scariest
monster—the exploding Creeper! Did you know it was actually created
by a totally accidental coding mistake when Notch was trying to
program a pig? With over 300 million copies sold, Minecraft is a
world-changing adventure! Tune in to hear the block-tastic true
story and test your knowledge in our fun trivia quiz at the end!
