Minecraft Beginnings
It all starts on May 17, 2009when user Notch launches a prototype of his new video game, Cave Game. It is nothing more and nothing less than Markus Persson, the Swedish developer and Founder of Mojang Studios. This would be the basis for what would become Minecraft.
But… what was the very first version of this free world like? It could be described as the dream of every flat earther. Cave Game was no more than a flat square world. There were only the blocks of rock and earth with grass, which did not give much room for maneuver except for the creation of figures. In addition, the map was finite and you could fall off the cliff if you got too close to the edge.
From its first release until the end of 2009, the game went through a period of splendor and development. This version, now called classical, content is added weeklyand the players themselves create mods that end up assimilating into the base game. A digital Genesis, wow.
Little by little, some basics are developed, such as slopes, stone and wooden blocks and tree cuttings (which have not yet been scheduled to grow). There they decide to change the name of the gameand is finally called Minecraft.
It is a bizarre period in which all the blocks of water and lava are infinite, so it was very easy to flood the map unintentionally (or on purpose). The good thing is that you couldn’t die, because there was only Creative Mode. It’s not until October 2009 what Survival Mode is introduced. This new condition of mortality is accompanied by creepers, skeletons, zombies, and spiders. On the other hand, pigs also appeared. And it is that now it was necessary to make a sandwich to recover from the enemy attacks.
The version minecraft classic it still exists and can be played. It is available for free on the Internet, even in browser versions.
