Minecraft is the popular sandbox construction game designed by Markus “Notch” Persson, the founder of Mojang AB, and inspired by Notch’s previous games, including Legend of the Chambered and RubyDung, as well as by other installments such as Dungeon Keeper, Dwarf Fortress, and others. Minecraft remains one of the most played games ever, summing up millions of players around the world. Today, Minecraft just got better, and bigger, thanks to the Minecraft 1.14 update which brought tons of new content and improvements, including the sought-after Village & Pillage pack.
Minecraft is available on all the possible platforms, including consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. It comes in different editions, mainly designed for each console in part, to some extent, but not limited to that criterium. However, Minecraft is equally popular regardless of platforms, so its devs still owe a moral duty to players.
Accordingly, Mojang is frequently releasing new updates with new features, content, bug fixes, and improvements. The last patch, Minecraft 1.14, just rolled out today, and it brings the many novelties, including the so-called Village & Pillage pack which extends the Minecraft universe.
