Search for 'Minecraft' on Google and you'll be able to explore, collect materials, and defeat creepers on the search page.



Minecraft , which allows players to build buildings, go on adventures, and play in a variety of ways in a block-like world, was released in alpha in 2009, and sold over 100 million copies worldwide in 2016. In 2019, total sales exceeded 176 million copies, surpassing Tetris to become the world's best-selling game . Minecraft will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2024, and can now be enjoyed not only on game consoles, PCs, and smartphones, but also through Google search.

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Minecraft will be running various campaigns, including discounts on the game, from May 16, 2024. On its official 15th anniversary page, it states, 'Time flies when you're stacking blocks. For 15 years, we've built wondrous creations, dodged creepers that explode quickly, put beds for the Ender Dragon, and ventured far and wide in search of new blocks. Every year, we've spent time mining and crafting, and our community has grown bigger and more diverse. We've accumulated at least a lot of memories so far. So let's take a look at how far we've come!'




As part of the 15th anniversary event, a feature has been added that allows you to enjoy the world of Minecraft through Google Search. You can see how you can actually play by watching the movie below.

Playing Minecraft on Google Search and exploring until a creeper destroys everything - YouTube


Type 'Minecraft' into Google search.



At the bottom of the search results, a block that looks familiar from Minecraft was displayed. Click on the block.



Then, the search results screen displayed the arm of Minecraft's initial character called 'Steve.' This screen with the arm reflected in the field of view is familiar in Minecraft.



At this time, the mouse cursor will change to a cross icon. In this state, click anywhere on the screen.



The area around where you click will change as you repeat the digging motion.



The part of the search results that used to show the official Minecraft website has been replaced with a forest-like scene from within the Minecraft game.



Anywhere you click on the search results page will change to a Minecraft landscape, and you can also click on blocks in the foreground on the Minecraft screen to destroy them, just like in the game.



Depending on the place you destroy, you may find gold and other important ores for crafting or collection, as well as explosive gunpowder called '

TNT .' Although you cannot craft by combining materials like in the game, you can upgrade your equipment by 'finding a tree and destroying it to turn it into a pickaxe from your arm,' or 'obtaining a diamond to turn it into a diamond pickaxe,' so you can enjoy exploring in search of hidden materials and terrain.



To exit Minecraft mode in Google Search, click the X at the bottom of the screen.



Creepers appear from the bottom of the screen and explode when you get close.



The whole screen exploded and became beautiful.
