Known as one of the best-selling games of all time, Minecraft has certainly had a storied history, cultivating dedicated fanbases both on PC and on consoles.

Players in Minecraft are given a multitude of different tools to survive against enemies and to exercise their creativity, allowing for ingenious creations like an impressive Minecraft map room with a glass floor. While the game was initially coded in Java, it has since been redesigned with the general-purpose programming language C++, making it playable on different platforms.
