Minecraft has long captured the imaginations of players from all walks of life, achieving status as the best-selling game of all time thanks to its appeal to both young gamers and adults. With humble beginnings as a simple block-building indie game back in 2009, years of major updates have added countless new features, items, and gameplay elements that have turned Minecraft into a very different game. Most recently, the Caves and Cliffs update in 2021 added new biomes, revamped the terrain generation for more dramatic environments, and increased the game's maximum height and depth.
