You will see the history of Minecraft down below
Minecraft 2009
Originally called Cave Game, Notch took focus on placing blocks. By May 17, 2009, Cave Game was publicly released on the TigSource forum. In June, the game held new rapid updates, including multiplayer and the ability to create custom skins. Not that long afterwards did the survival test began introducing health, hunger, and dangerous new Mobs.
Minecraft 2010
It first started off as an Indev but by June 30th, 2010, the game went from Indev to Alpha, featuring frequent/ daily updates. It held big updates like: Redstone, Biomes and Nether, and better Multiplayer and farming. Notch also quit his job to work with colleagues to work full time on the game founding Mojang. Close to the end of 2010, the game launched into the Beta phase. The game in my opinion was going to have a bright future.
Minecraft 2011-2020
In 2011 MineCon on Nov. 18, the Ender Dragon was added along with enchanting and potion brewing. The game expanded to Xbox 360 (in 2012) and PlayStation 3 (in 2013). Major updates added the Wither boss, anvils, and redstone mechanics to the game. By 2014, Microsoft bought Minecraft IP along with Mojang for 2.5 billion dollars with more expansion in the game. In 2015-2016, Minecraft not only sold 100 million copies, but became a permanant fixture in gaming culture, holding its largest convention, Minecon 2015. A new update began unifying the console, mobile, and Windows 10 versions into the cross-paltform Bedrock Engine. 2018-2020 had some amazing new massive updates such as: revamped ocean biomes, transformed villager trading along with raids, and a completely overhauled the Nether dimension, making it a viable, dangerous environment.
Minecraft 2021-2026
2021-2022 introduced new cave biomes such as the Lush Cave and Dripstone Caves. In 1.19 the Deep Dark biome, Mangrove Swamps while designing and putting the Warden mob in the game. In the years 2023-2024, both the Camel and Sniffer mobs along with the pink Cherry Blossoms biomes with different armor trims. They will later add Wolf Armor and Wolf variants with the shy Armadillos. In late 2024 and early 2025, Minecraft introduced Trial Chambers, the Breeze mob, and autocrafting. Minecraft in 2026 added new better and cuter versions of baby mobs (and to be honest that was one of my top 5 favorite updates). Later in the year the new Chaos Cube update will come out and it will have Sulfur Caves and Sulfur Cube mobs with new industrial blocks.
This was the history of Minecraft from 2009 to now which is 2026. (I wanted to throw this out for anyone who wants to know.)
