'''''[[minecraftwiki:Minecraft|Minecraft]]''''' is a [[List of games|game]] developed by [[minecraftwiki:Mojang Studios|Mojang Studios]]. It is a 3D sandbox game with a blocky aesthetic centered around gathering resources to survive from environmental hazards or hostile [[minecraftwiki:Mob|mobs]], exploring the randomly generated [[minecraftwiki:Terrain features|terrain]], and creating worlds and sculptures using a variety of blocks and tools, though the objective is largely determined by the player. It was originally released as an indie game for the PC and handheld devices on November 18, 2011.

All releases of ''Minecraft'' on [[Nintendo]] consoles include the exclusive [[#Super Mario Mash-up|Super Mario Mash-up]] pack, which includes ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-themed texture changes for all of the game's objects and several skins for the player. It was originally released as downloadable content for the [[Wii U]] version in 2016 and was later included with its physical release. Said version, titled '''''[[minecraftwiki:Wii U Edition|Minecraft: Wii U Edition]]''''', originally released for the [[Nintendo eShop#Wii U|Nintendo eShop]] on December 17, 2015,<ref>{{cite|author=Hill, Owen|date=December 7, 2015|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160906122758/https://mojang.com/2015/12/minecraft-wii-u-edition-now-available-on-the-eshop|title=''Minecraft: Wii U Edition'' now available to download|publisher=Mojang Studios|accessdate=November 16, 2016|deadlink=y}}</ref> and later received a physical release on June 17, 2016.<ref name="Mario Announcement">{{cite|author=Hill, Owen|date=May 9, 2016|archive=web.archive.org/web/20161027222531/http://mojang.com/2016/05/mario-mash-up-coming-to-wii-u-edition-may-17th|deadlink=y|title=Mario Mash Up coming to Wii U Edition May 17!|publisher=Mojang Studios|accessdate=November 16, 2016}}</ref> ''Minecraft: Wii U Edition'' was discontinued after its final update in 2018 along with other legacy console platforms except for {{wp|Xbox One}} and {{wp|PlayStation 4}}.<ref>[[minecraftwiki:Wii U Edition]]</ref> A [[Nintendo Switch]] port, known as '''''[[minecraftwiki:Nintendo Switch Edition|Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition]]''''', was released for the [[Nintendo eShop#Nintendo Switch|Nintendo eShop]] on May 11, 2017.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|date=April 12, 2017|archive=web.archive.org/web/20170412232700/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDedvre19es|title=Nintendo Direct 4.12.2017|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 2, 2023}}</ref> Aside from the different controls and an increased map size, it is near-identical to the Wii U game. ''Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition'' was discontinued on June 21, 2018, and was replaced with another version of the game, which was released both digitally and physically on the same day, named simply ''Minecraft'' (also officially known as ''[[minecraftwiki:Bedrock Edition|Minecraft: Bedrock Edition]]'' since June 7, 2022), with players who purchased the original ''Nintendo Switch Edition'' having an option to upgrade to the new version for free. This version allows cross-play with other platforms, namely {{wp|Microsoft Windows|Windows}}, {{wp|ChromeOS}}, {{wp|Android (operating system)|Android}}, {{wp|iOS}}, {{wp|iPadOS}}, {{wp|Amazon Fire|Fire}}, Xbox One, {{wp|Xbox Series X and Series S|Xbox Series X{{!}}S}}, PlayStation 4, and {{wp|PlayStation VR|PlayStation VR}}, as these all share the same codebase known as "[[minecraftwiki:Bedrock Edition#Bedrock codebase|Bedrock]]" (originated from ''[[minecraftwiki:Pocket Edition|Minecraft: Pocket Edition]]''). A version of ''Minecraft'' for the [[nwiki:New Nintendo 3DS|New Nintendo 3DS]], titled '''''[[minecraftwiki:New Nintendo 3DS Edition|Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition]]''''', was launched on September 13, 2017, and was discontinued on January 15, 2019.<ref>[[minecraftwiki:New Nintendo 3DS Edition]]</ref>

The original PC game includes references to the ''Super Mario'' franchise, such as a painting featuring [[100m]] from ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' (which was based on a [https://zetterstrand.com/eventz/wp-content/uploads/kong.jpg painting] by [[minecraftwiki:Kristoffer Zetterstrand|Kristoffer Zetterstrand]]), and the Wii U, New Nintendo 3DS, and Nintendo Switch versions keep these references.<ref>[[minecraftwiki:Painting#Canvases]]</ref>

''Minecraft'' also crosses over with ''Super Mario'' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', in which [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Steve|Steve]] from ''Minecraft'' appears as a playable DLC fighter, along with a [[stage]] based on ''Minecraft'', [[List of stages debuting in Super Smash Bros.
