Minecraft is a sandbox video game with a first-person perspective that allows players of all ages to explore a procedurally-generated 3D world, fight opponents, mine materials, craft items, and use their imaginations to build new structures (from small objects to large and intricate cities) both alone and with help of friends in online servers. So, Minecraft Beta does not signify some early or incomplete version of the game, but it instead represents a new front-end for a proven megahit Minecraft: Java Edition that all of its players know and love. This new version of the game was built to facilitate the future expansion of Minecraft-related content on Desktop, with a new launcher having the capability to streamline player access to base Minecraft game and future games in the Minecraft universe such as the celebrated singleplayer adventures Minecraft: Dungeons and Minecraft: Story Mode.
