Minecraft is an exploration game for the PC made by Marcus Persson as a one-man indie game. It became widely popular due to the simplistic approach and open world. The game focuses mainly on the exploration of the player's world and the creation of different objects.
The player starts with no items at all, with absolutely no instruction. They are left to their own devices and to discover the game for themselves. The player is meant to build a base where they can rest and recuperate for the night, as during the night, enemies are spawned. When a player reaches the point in the game where they are protected from attack by enemies, they have the ability to go into a mine. When a player mines, they might stumble upon a vein of coal, iron, gold, redstone (which can make simple I/O circuits), or diamond.
The game has been confirmed to be inspired by a game called Infiniminer, which involved an infinitely deep mineshaft filled with lava, minerals, and metals. Similarly, Minecraft has an infinitely expanding world filled with many different materials and NPCs.
Minecraft also has a crafting interface where players place items they have collected through farming and mining. The objects that are crafted then become used by the player for things like excavation and decoration.
The ultimate goal of the game is left to the player, whether it be a massive monument, or complete excavation of a specific area, or even just cutting down one tree.
