Block by Block: Minecraft Builds a Legacy

Video games have evolved from simple pixelated experiences to immersive, cinematic masterpieces. But in 2009, a small Swedish game called Minecraft changed everything. Created by Markus a.k.a. Notch Persson, Minecraft introduced a sandbox-style world where players could build, explore, and create anything they imagined. With its blocky graphics and open-ended gameplay, it became a global phenomenon, influencing both gaming and education. Today, Minecraft is the best-selling video game of all time, proving that Swedish creativity can reshape the entertainment industry.
