Minecraft is one of the top legendary games of the past decade. Below is a selection of facts about her, which should be known not only to the fan, but also to the newcomer.
Minecraft is one of the most important gamesreleased recently. And there are a number of good reasons for this. Since its release, the game has grown to gigantic proportions, leaving its mark everywhere. Steve's appearance as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a prime example of this. The original project also has not lost its relevance. Thanks to pandemics Minecraft has become even more popular and won a lot of new fans Worldwide. However, she continues to keep certain secrets that not everyone knows about.
The development of Minecraft was known from the very beginning
Most developers anyway hides the process of developing your new game. This approach allows you to add intrigue to the waiting process, which is occasionally diluted with fragments of polished content: trailers, concept art or interviews with developers.
However, things were different with Minecraft. The development of a global sandbox was not hidden from gamers even in the early stages. In an article on Gamasutra in 2011, the Mojang team was extremely openhoping to get any feedback from the gaming community.
“When talking about the development of Minecraft, I have always been honest. I wrote about it on the forums, mainly on TIGSource, and told people about what I have been working on lately and what I planned to add to the game in the future, ”says the developer in an interview.
Release Luck
Later in an article on Gamasutra, Markus Persson admitted that he thought Minecraft's success was due to normal luck.
"If the game is not a sequel, and you do not have years of experience, like most major publishers, then it is impossible to even predict how successful the project will be," he said.
After such statements, it becomes clear how much risky the idea was.
Existence of multiple versions
Since the official release for Minecraft has been released many other versions. The original game created by the Mojangs team was developed in Java. However, there is another, newer version. It is familiar to players under the name Bedrock Edition. Over time, several more versions of Minecraft appeared, which formed the basis of console ports and an educational model used in some schools for education.
4 separate spin-offs
Minecraft is a landmark project for the industry, so the emergence of independent branches was only a matter of time. One of the most famous games of this type was Minecraft: Story Mode from Telltales Games, a company ceased to exist back in 2018. The last one on this list is Minecraft Dungeons - a unique dungeon crawler with a co-op for 4 people. Released in May 2020, the game was a real surprise for fans of the cubic sandbox.
Minecraft took 6 days to make
The news that the development of a working build took total 6 days, deserves a special place in the list of the most unusual features of the game. Despite this, it became possible to consider it fully completed only in two years. Subsequently, many updates were released that brought the game back to its usual form.
The appearance of creepers became possible due to a bug in the code
Sometimes great things are created by accident. Creepers are a prime example of this, as their appearance was not planned in advance and became possible due to inaccuracies in the game code. It all started with the fact that Notch was trying to create a pig model, but something went wrong. As a result, the randomly generated mob has gone down in history as one of the oldest and most recognizable elements of Minecraft.
Minecraft world is not endless
Despite the fact that Minecraft is famous for its infinite dimensions, her world is limited. And this is logical, since any game has certain limits. However, Persson has repeatedly stated that they are presented in Minecraft in a different way. The bottom line is this: the further the player moves around the world, changing one biome after another, the stronger the "to brake" the reality surrounding it. This approach perfectly demonstrates how serious the developer's approach was.
The sounds made by the gast belonged to a cat
The vast majority of sound effects in games are created using things that are within walking distance. A similar situation happened with Minecraft. creepy sounds, which have become a unique feature of Gast, were recorded with a cat music producer Daniel "C418" Rosenfeld. Quite a non-standard and impressive solution.
Minecraft has been inspired by many PC games
Like many other legendary video games, Minecraft was not a complete idea developer. The best of the best always have one or more ideological inspirers who directly influence the fate of the final product. Minecraft is no exception and has come to its present appearance thanks to a large number of games. Dungeon keeper и RollerCoaster Tycoon left a mark in the development of the "sandbox".
However, the most important role was played Infiniminer. Persson noted that she had a special charm that the team needed. Infiniminer was a mining game with similar block-geometric building gameplay. It was in it that the foundations were laid, which in the future became a distinctive feature of Minecraft and led it to a form recognizable by millions of players.
