The Minecraft spin-off is an action-adventure RPG developed by Mojang. It was first released in May of 2020 for Windows, Xbox One, Switch, and PlayStation 4, and was then released for Xbox Series X|S in November of 2020.

The game of course strongly resembles the original Minecraft game and features similar weapons and mobs. However, this is still a completely new game that allows up to four players to explore various locations, complete difficult quests, and defeat hostile mobs.
