'''''Minecraft''''' merupakan sebuah permainan video kotak pasir yang dikembangkan oleh [[Mojang Studios]]. Dicipta oleh [[Markus Persson|Markus "Notch" Persson]] dalam [[Java|bahasa pengaturcaraan Java]] dan dikeluarkan sebagai [[Kitar hayat keluaran perisian|alfa umum]] untuk komputer peribadi pada tahun 2009, permainan ini secara rasminya diterbitkan pada bulan November 2011 dengan [[Jens Bergensten]] mengambil alih kerja pembangunan sekitar tempoh masa itu. ''Minecraft'' sejak itu telah dibawa ke pelbagai platform dan menjadi permainan video terlaris sepanjang masa dengan sejumlah 200 juta salinan terjual di semua platform dan 126 juta pengguna aktif bulanan {{Setakat|2020|lc=y}}. 

Di ''Minecraft'', pemain meneroka dunia [[Grafik komputer 3D|3D]] yang dihasilkan secara bertatacara dengan kawasan yang tidak terhingga dan mungkin menemui dan mengekstrak bahan mentah, mencipta alat dan barang, dan membina struktur atau kerja tanah. Bergantung pada [[Mekanik permainan|ragam permainan]], pemain dapat melawan "[[Mob (permainan video dan komputer)|mob]]" yang dikawal oleh komputer, serta bekerjasama bersama atau bersaing dengan pemain lain di dunia yang sama. Permainan ini mengandungi beberapa mod seperti mod kemandirian yang mana pemain mesti memperoleh sumber bahan untuk membina di dunia dan mengekalkan nyawa, dan mod kreatif, di mana pemain mempunyai sumber bahan yang tidak habis. Pemain dapat mengubah suai permainan tersebut untuk membuat mekanik permainan, item, dan aset yang baharu. 

''Minecraft'' telah dipuji secara kritis, memenangi pelbagai anugerah dan dirujuk sebagai salah satu daripada permainan video terhebat dan paling berpengaruh sepanjang masa, dimasukkan ke dalam ''World Video Game Hall of Fame'' pada bulan Jun 2020. Media sosial, parodi, penyesuaian, barang jualan komersial, dan konvensyen [[Minecon|MineCon]] tahunan memainkan peranan besar dalam menghebahkan permainan. Permainan ini juga telah digunakan dalam bidang pendidikan, terutama dalam bidang sistem pengkomputeran kerana komputer maya dan peranti perkakasan telah dicipta di dalamnya. Pada tahun 2014, [[harta intelek]] Mojang dan ''Minecraft'' dibeli oleh [[Microsoft]] dengan harga {{US$|2.5 billion}}. Sejumlah permainan terbitan juga telah dihasilkan, seperti ''[[Minecraft: Story Mode]]'', ''[[Minecraft Dungeons]]'' dan ''[[Minecraft Earth]]''(Dihentikan).

Oleh kerana masalah teknikal ketika lokasi yang sangat jauh tersampai, ada penyekat yang menghalang pemain daripada melintasi lokasi yang melebihi 30,000,000 blok dari pusat dunia.{{Efn|Dalam sebuah hantaran blog,<ref name="NotchExplain1" /> Persson menjelaskan:

::... izinkan saya menjelaskan beberapa perkara mengenai peta "tak terbatas": Peta itu tidak terbatas, tetapi tidak ada batasan yang sukar. Ini hanya akan menjadikan semakin [[pepijat perisian|rosak]] selama anda berada dalam permainan. Rupa peta dihasilkan, disimpan dan dimuat, dan (jenis) diberikan dalam sekeping blok <math>16 * 16 * 128</math>. Potongan ini mempunyai nilai [[ofset (sains komputer)|ofset]] yang merupakan [[32-bit|32 bit]] [[integer]] kira-kira dalam julat negatif dua bilion hingga positif dua bilion. Sekiranya anda berada di luar jarak tersebut (kira-kira 25% jarak dari tempat anda sekarang ke matahari), memuatkan dan menyimpan potongan akan mula menimpa potongan lama. Pada 1/16 jarak itu, perkara yang menggunakan integer untuk kedudukan blok, seperti menggunakan item dan mencari jalan, akan bermula [[limpah atas aritmetik|limpahan]] dan bertindak pelik.

::Itulah dua had "keras".}} Permainan ini membuat mekanik ini dengan memisahkan data dunia menjadi bahagian yang lebih kecil yang dipanggil "cebisan" yang hanya dicipta atau dimuat ketika pemain berada berdekatan.

Sistem masa dalam permainan mengikuti sebuah kitaran siang dan malam dan satu kitaran penuh berlangsung selama 20 minit masa sebenar.

Sekitar tahun 2011 semasa pelepasan penuh ''Minecraft'', telah ada kerjasama antara Mojang dan [[The Lego Group]] untuk membuat permainan [[Lego]] berasaskan bata ''Minecraft'' yang dipanggil ''Brickcraft''. Ini akan mengubah permainan dasar ''Minecraft'' untuk menggunakan bata Lego, di mana menyesuaikan blok 1x1 asas untuk memperhitungkan potongan yang lebih besar yang biasanya digunakan dalam set Lego. Persson telah mengerjakan versi awal permainan ini dan telah menamakannya sebagai "Project Rex Kwon Do" berdasarkan jenaka dari ''[[Napoleon Dynamite]]''. Lego telah menyalakan projek itu untuk maju, dan sementara Mojang meletakkan dua pembangun dalam permainan selama enam bulan, mereka kemudian memilih untuk membatalkan projek itu, kerana Mojang merasakan bahawa Lego Group terlalu menuntut apa yang dapat mereka lakukan, menurut Mojang Daniel Kaplan. Kumpulan Lego telah mempertimbangkan untuk membeli Mojang untuk menyelesaikan permainan, tetapi pada ketika ini Microsoft membuat tawaran untuk membeli syarikat itu melebihi {{USD|2 bilion}}. Menurut Ronny Scherer dari Lego Group, syarikat itu belum yakin akan potensi kejayaan ''Minecraft'' pada ketika ini dan mundur dari pemerolehannya setelah Microsoft membawa tawaran ini ke Mojang.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.pcgamer.com/the-lego-minecraft-videogame-brickcraft-that-was-greenlit-and-why-it-never-happened/ | title = A Lego Minecraft game called 'Brickcraft' was prototyped and greenlit – here's why it never happened | first= Rich |last =Stanton | date = 9 Disember 2020 | access-date = 9 Disember 2020 | work = [[PC Gamer]] }}</ref>

Kepelbagaian gunaan ''Minecraft'' telah dibincangkan secara meluas, terutama dalam bidang [[Reka bentuk berbantu komputer|reka bentuk]] dan [[pendidikan]] [[Reka bentuk berbantu komputer|berbantukan komputer]]. Dalam panel di MineCon 2011, seorang pengembang Sweden membincangkan kemungkinan menggunakan permainan untuk mereka bentuk semula bangunan dan taman awam, dengan menyatakan bahawa rendering menggunakan ''Minecraft'' jauh lebih mesra pengguna untuk komuniti, menjadikannya lebih mudah untuk membayangkan fungsi bangunan dan taman baru.<ref name="salon">{{Cite web|url=http://www.salon.com/2011/12/06/inside_the_geeky_revolutionary_world_of_minecraft/singleton/|title=Inside the geeky, revolutionary world of "Minecraft"|last=Spillman|first=Rob|date=6 Disember 2011|website=[[Salon (website)|Salon]]|publisher=Salon Media Group|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117145332/http://www.salon.com/2011/12/06/inside_the_geeky_revolutionary_world_of_minecraft/singleton/|archive-date=17 Januari 2013|access-date=23 November 2013}}</ref> Pada tahun 2012, seorang anggota kumpulan Dinamika Manusia di [[MIT Media Lab]], Cody Sumter, berkata: "Notch bukan sahaja mencipta sebuah permainan.

Pada bulan September 2012, Mojang memulakan projek ''Block By Block'' bekerjasama dengan [[Program Penempatan Manusia Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu|UN Habitat]] untuk mewujudkan persekitaran dunia nyata di ''Minecraft''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://readwrite.com/2012/09/06/minecraft-partners-with-united-nations-for-urban-planning|title=Minecraft Partners With United Nations For Urban Planning|last=Eördögh|first=Fruzsina|date=6 September 2012|website=[[ReadWrite]]|publisher=[[SAY Media]]|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121124095401/http://readwrite.com/2012/09/06/minecraft-partners-with-united-nations-for-urban-planning|archive-date=24 November 2012|access-date=21 November 2012}}</ref> Projek ini membolehkan golongan muda yang tinggal di persekitaran tersebut untuk turut meyertai dalam merancang perubahan yang ingin mereka lihat. Dengan menggunakan ''Minecraft'', masyarakat telah membantu menyusun semula kawasan yang diambil berat, dan masyarakat dijemput untuk memasuki pelayan ''Minecraft'' dan mengubah kawasan sekitar mereka sendiri. Carl Manneh, pengarah pengurusan Mojang, menamakan permainan itu sebagai "alat yang sempurna untuk mempermudahkan proses ini", tambahan pula mengatakan "Kerjasama tiga tahun ini akan menyokong Jaringan Pembangunan Bandar Lestari UN-Habitat untuk meningkatkan 300 ruang awam menjelang tahun 2016." Mojang menandatangani komuniti pembina ''Minecraft'', ''FyreUK'', untuk membantu untuk render persekitaran dalam ''Minecraft''. Projek perintis pertama dimulakan di Kibera, salah satu penempatan tidak rasmi [[Nairobi]], dan sedang dalam fasa perancangan. Projek ''Block By Block'' didasarkan pada inisiatif sebelumnya yang dimulai pada Oktober 2011, ''Mina Kvarter'' (Blok Saya), yang memberi orang muda dalam masyarakat Sweden sebuah alat untuk menggambarkan bagaimana mereka ingin mengubah bahagian bandar mereka. Menurut Manneh, projek itu merupakan kaedah yang berguna untuk menggambarkan idea perancangan bandar tanpa semestinya mempunyai latihan dalam seni bina.

Walaupun sifatnya tidak dapat diramalkan, '' Minecraft '' juga telah menjadi permainan yang popular untuk ''[[speedrun]]'' (lari laju), di mana pemain meluangkan masa mereka sendiri untuk masuk ke dunia baru yang dihasilkan oleh ''seed'' rawak untuk mencapai "The End".
