Minecraft started as a small indie game about building, crafting, and surviving, but it’s now a huge deal. It’s gone way past just gamers—pretty much everyone knows about it. Since 2009, loads of players have enjoyed the core game without any extras.
For those wanting new content or a different way to play, the Minecraft Marketplace has plenty to offer. This in-game store has official and fan-made stuff, some free, some paid. It’s perfect for console players or anyone who doesn’t use mods to mix things up. Paid content from the Minecraft marketplace tend to have higher quality than free mods.
