The tale of Minecraft starts in Sweden, with Markus Persson, better known as Notch. In an interview, he credited games like Dwarf Fortress, Dungeon Keeper, and Infiniminer as his inspirations. His goal was to craft a game where players could freely build and explore vast worlds.

On May 17, 2009, Notch released the alpha version of Minecraft during a break from his job at King.com. This initial release was a simple pixelated sandbox, launched via the official game launcher. The ability to build and explore instantly drew attention from the gaming community, and players began to immerse themselves in Persson's creative universe.

The game's unique concept and endless creative possibilities attracted players who built everything from personal homes to iconic landmarks and entire cities. This was a groundbreaking moment in gaming. A significant update introduced Redstone, enabling players to construct intricate mechanisms.
