MineCraft is a sandbox-building video game originally by created by Swedish creator Markus "Notch" Persson and now by his company, Mojang. The game was originally released on May 17th 2009 on Microsoft Windows as a development alpha version but has since been ported to iOS, Android and Xbox 360.
The creative and building aspects of Minecraft allow players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, gathering resources, crafting, and combat. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: survival, which requires players to acquire resources and maintain their health and hunger; and creative, where players have an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no health or hunger.

Recipes
Crafting is the method by which many blocks, tools and materials are made in Minecraft. In order to craft something, players must move items from their inventory to a crafting grid. A 2×2 crafting grid can be accessed from the player's inventory. A 3×3 grid can be accessed by right-clicking a Crafting Table.
Trading
The trading system is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to trade emeralds for items (and vice-versa) with NPC villagers.
Enemies
Mobs are the only other form of life in this game other then you, in this game each mob belongs you to a group which decides how they interact with the player. There are passive, hostile, neutral, utility, tameable, boss and unused mobs each of them act as their name implies towards the player.
Servers
Minecraft servers allow players to play online with other people. They may either be run on a hosted Minecraft server service, a dedicated server, a Virtual Private Server or a home machine.
Mods
Modifications (or Mods for short) are add-ons that change Minecraft's game content from what it originally was. Mods are becoming increasingly popular and in-depth, adding whole new experiences and goals to the game.
Texture Packs
A texture pack is a collection of files that is used to change the in-game textures of blocks, items, mobs and the GUI. They are zip files that have various PNG images in them and a pack.txt. The native resolution of Minecraft's textures are 16×16 (measured pixels in block height and width). 32×32, 64×64, 128×128, 256×256 and 512×512 textures are referred to as ‘HD’. Any texture can be animated in Minecraft 1.5 or later.
Resource Packs
The resource pack system is an API replacement for texture packs and a way for players to further customize their Minecraft experience.
Maps
Minecraft maps are custom created worlds that are saved within the Minecraft game. They can be anything from an amazing role playing adventure that immerses you in an epic story, to a challenging puzzle map that tests your problem solving abilities. Unlike Minecraft Seeds, custom map saves have been edited to provide a more focused experience for the player.
