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 OSX, iOS, Android, Xbox 360, Xbox One, the PlayStation 3, and the PlayStation 4.
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 three 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.

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.
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.
