Minecraft officially released

Mojang launched Minecraft's official release Friday at Minecon in Las Vegas.

It has been over two years since Markus "Notch" Persson created Minecraft and released the Alpha version. The game started out with a small list of mobiles and blocks. Now Minecraft has hundreds of blocks, thousands of craftable objects and three different dimensions within the game world.

New creatures in the game include the Enderman and the Ender Dragon. New objects include potions tables, eyes of ender and melon slices.

The 4+ million people who bought the game while in beta or alpha versions will receive the official version of the game at no additional cost.

Notch said in his blog that Mojang will continue updating the game for some time, and they plan to add even more elements to the game.

Minecraft has gone through a drastic transformation since it was first started, and many players can be heard saying the phrase, "It's like a whole new game!"
