On the 17th of may 2009 Notch decided it’s Coding time and he started the legend known as minecraft a developmental release was created on that day using the JAVA engine. Later after some tinkering Online mode was released on August 4th and after that 1.0 was released on november 18 2011 and BOY it was a HIT Probably the most popular game at the time!
After awhile in 2014 1.8 Was released,Adding sponges,guardians,elder guardians,and prismarine blocks! And for the best are for last *drumroll* 1.12! 1.12 was an update that made the game much more saturated and colorful! Most of the other colors before that were very gross and dark.And 1.14! 1.14 is the biggest update yet! It has added hundreds of blocks,A new texture for everything,updated villages,and more mobs! And that is the history of minecraft!
The reason why it’s mostly focusing on updates is because there is almost no information about notch making it I hope you understand and goodbye!
