Why Minecraft Never Dies: A Closer Look from TwitchCon Europe 2026
Minecraft was officially released in 2011. I was almost a teenager when I first heard about it, back when it was still in beta and looked like someone had taken a perfectly normal world and run it through an extremely aggressive pixel filter. It didn't look impressive. It didn't have a story to speak of. There was no clear win condition, no final boss waiting at the end, no credits rolling to tell you that you had done something meaningful.
