Minecraft blocks and characters

📖 Part 1: Reading Comprehension

Read the text below about Minecraft, then answer the questions that follow:

Minecraft is a sandbox video game created by Swedish developer Markus Persson and later developed by Mojang Studios. The game allows players to build with a variety of different blocks in a 3D procedurally generated world. Players can explore vast landscapes, mine resources, craft tools, and construct elaborate buildings or machines. The game has two main modes: Creative mode, where players have unlimited resources and can fly, and Survival mode, where players must gather resources and maintain their health and hunger levels. Since its release in 2011, Minecraft has become one of the best-selling video games of all time, with over 200 million copies sold worldwide. Its popularity stems from its endless possibilities for creativity and the fact that no two worlds are exactly the same. The game appeals to players of all ages and has been used in educational settings to teach subjects ranging from history to computer programming.
