The Minecraft universe (マインクラフト, Minecraft) refers to the Smash Bros. series' collection of characters, stages and properties that hail from the video game franchise developed by Microsoft subsidiary Mojang Studios. Since its development versions in 2009 and official release in 2011, Minecraft has become a worldwide cultural phenomenon and is the single best-selling video game of all time[1], spawning a litany of spinoffs.
Franchise description
Minecraft is an open-world sandbox game about survival and creativity, with a block based world and blocky characters. Worlds always generate randomly based on set seeds, allowing players to have a different experience in each world while different worlds can be generated by all players through the seeds. In Survival Mode, the focus is to gather resources and get stronger while building a home base. Steve is effectively the main character, as the default appearance of the player's avatar. At night, players may encounter mobs like Zombies, Creepers, Spiders, Endermen, and more. While never told by the game itself during gameplay, the goal is to kill the Ender Dragon, who lives in the End dimension. Creative Mode focuses on building creations with the wide array of different blocks and materials. The game allows players to play with other people with servers, or on Realms. There are also some spinoff titles of Minecraft, namely AR mobile game Minecraft Earth, the action RPG Minecraft Dungeons and the adventure game Minecraft Story Mode, along with Minecraft Education Edition existing as a learning tool.
The popularity of Minecraft has led to many third party companies basing new games on it or having crossovers with the Minecraft IP. For example, Square Enix's Dragon Quest Builders series is a mix between Minecraft's blocky design and survival genre and Dragon Quest's characters and role-playing genre.
