Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by Mojang Studios and initially published by Mojang Studios. When Microsoft and Xbox acquired Mojang, the publisher then changed to Xbox Game Studios. There’s a Windows 10 version, AKA the Bedrock Version that can be played across most devices and the Java version, that can be played on PC and Mobile.
In Survival Mode, gather resources, manage your hunger, and fend off dangerous mobs like zombies, skeletons, and creepers as you explore vast landscapes and deep caverns.
Creative Mode gives you unlimited resources and flight capabilities, allowing you to build magnificent structures and intricate redstone contraptions without any restrictions.

Minecraft also features Multiplayer Mode, enabling you to join friends or players worldwide in collaborative building projects or competitive mini-games. With a vibrant community, countless mods, and regular updates adding new content, biomes, and mobs, Minecraft continually evolves, offering new challenges and experiences.
Personally I find the survival mode to be the more fun one. Yes unlimited resources is great and is a great way to get out a lot of creativity, but there’s something fun about having to survive, gather resources, and try not to fall to your death.
