The Game Developers Choice Awards

Minecraft is an open-world video game that was initially developed by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later, it was developed and published by Mojang. Minecraft's innovative and building features let players create structures using textured cubes inside the 3D world that is generated procedurally. Exploration, resource gathering, crafting, combat, and other activities are all part of the game. Multiple gameplay modes are available, including survival mode where the player must acquire resources to build a world and maintain health and a creative mode in which players have unlimited resources to construct with and fly in an adventure mode, where players can play maps that are created by other players and spectator mode in which players can fly around and cut through blocks, but they are unable to place blocks.
