Minecraftis a game loved by most gamers. It’s a very straightforward title that gives fans the opportunity to have unlimited fun. They can build stuff, go on adventures, can make complicated designs that others would marvel at, or can just dig as much as they want and let those pixels fly.
It’s a game that has kept a world of people together. They play it, stream it, and also watch its streams. Thanks to its unique world and dynamic gameplay mechanics, it never went out of fashion. When a game gets so successful, one might think they know enough about it, but there are a bunch of things aboutMinecraftthat not even its most hardcore fans might know. Here are a few such facts:
Minecraftwas not even its original name
When its creators started working onMinecraft, they initially named it Cave Game. This was an early version of this game and consisted of only cobblestone and grass.

It did not even have most of the features that the final game had. This barebones version only allowed the players to explore, and was never released to the public.
Minecraftwas created in just six days
Designer Markus Persson is a masterful game designer; there’s no doubt about this, but who could have known that he was so good that he designed this highly complicated title in a mere six days? Of course, its first version, Cave Game, was not feature-complete, but from coming up with an idea to laying the initial bricks of this massive structure in just six days, was just massive.
This goes to prove that Markus Persson deserves all the appreciation he gets.
One of its creepiest characters was not even part of the plan
Everyone knows how scary a creeper can be. Numerous videos and memes about it are evidence of the popularity a creeper enjoys. But it was not even in the game intentionally; it was a legitimate coding error.

The developer was instead working on a pig. But some miscalculations with its height and length led to what fans now know as the creeper.
Ghasts has a very unusual voice actor
Massive AAA games have voice actions, motion capture suits, and foley artists. The job of a Foley artist is pretty unique and very important; they give everything in the game a proper sound. Those tapping boots, the running train, and the rain falling on a sheet of metal most sound is given by the Foley artist.
ButMinecraftis a relatively low-budget game; that’s why they had to come up with unconventional ways to make their stuff sound. That’s why, when music producer Daniel Rosenfeld’s cat was awakened from sleep all of a sudden, he recorded it and used it as the sound that Ghasts make. Yes, those dangerous fire-breathing monsters are voiced by a cat!
A very unique character
The creator ofMinecraftis no doubt very special. The guy made one of the most successful sandbox games ever in six days; of course, he is unique and special. And he knows it too, and that’s whythis billionaire gavehis in-game avatar a special ability.

When his character dies in the game, it drops an apple. It’s a very small detail, but a very interesting one indeed.
