Minecraft
Minecraft is a sandbox game created by Swedish game designer Markus Persson, later developed and produce by the company 'Mojang' which he also founded. The creative and building aspects of Minecraft allow players to build with a variety of different cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, resource crafting, crafting, and combat.
Multiple gameplay modes are available, including a survival mode where the player must acquire resources to build the world and maintain health, a creatibve mode where players have unlimited resources to build with and the ability to fly, and adventure mode where players can play custom maps created by other players, a spectator mode where players can freely move throughout a world without being affected by gravity or collisions, and a hardcore mode where the player is only given one life. The PC version of the game is noted for its modding scene where users create new gameplay mechanics, items and assets for the game.
Minecraft received praise from critics and has won numerous awards and accolades. Social media, parodies, adaptations, merchandise and the MineCon convention played large roles in popularizing the game. It has also been used in educational environments, especially in the realm of computing systems, as virtual computers and hardware devices have been built in it. By early 2018, over 144 million copies had been sold across all platforms, making it the second best-selling video game of all time. In September 2014, Microsoft announced a deal to buy Mojang and the minecraft intellectual property for US$2.5 billion, with the acquisition completed two months later. Other games in the franchise have also bee released such as Minecraft: Story Mode.

My experiences with minecraft is not as high as proper gamers but I do have quite a bit of experience with it. I started playing with my brother and sister two years ago who are obsessed with the game. They have all the books, clothes, models, lego etc and used to play it daily. We like to play on creative mode so we can build what we want and just play together freely. I definitely play the most sensible of us three as I love to build amazing things using youtube tutorials online while my siblings build whatever and then blow it up afterwards. I have never played the PC version but I am intrigued by it, if the game was still as big as it used to be I probably would have started that by now. I also know the youtube community very well and so know of many famous youtubers like DanTDM, Stampy, Captain Sparkles, Jacksepticeye just to name a few who play the game. Even my favourite youtubers, Dan and Phil, have played minecraft!
