Minecraft was first released to the public on May 17, 2009, as a developmental "alpha" release. Although Persson maintained a day job with Jalbum.net at first, he later moved to working part-time and has since quit in order to work on Minecraft full-time as sales of the beta version of the game have expanded. Persson continues to update the game with releases distributed to users automatically. Persson plans to continue these updates after the release of the full game as long as there is still an active user-base. These updates have included features such as new items, new blocks, an alternate "Hell" dimension (accessible through construction of a portal) that Persson terms "The Nether", tamable [[wolves]] that assist the player, and changes to the game's behavior (e.g., how water flows).  

Minecraft was named Cave Came during its creation phase and first released to the public as Minecraft on May 17, 2009 as a developmental "alpha" release. Markus Persson founded Mojang in May 2009 to develop Minecraft. Persson quit his day job with Jalbum.net to work on Minecraft full-time in May 2010, and the beta version of the game came out in December 2010. Minecraft fully released on 18 November 2011. Persson sold Mojang and Minecraft to [[Microsoft]] on 15 September 2014 for $2.5 billion USD and he got $1.8 billion of it. It still gets updates today such as new items, new blocks, "The Nether" dimension (accessible through construction of a portal) which was inspired by concepts of [[hell]], "The End" dimention where you fight the game's final boss, tamable [[wolves]] that assist the player, and changes to the game's behavior (e.g., how water flows).
