As Minecraft gears up to celebrate its 15th anniversary, Google has prepared a special surprise for players. Minecraft, which first launched on May 17, 2009, originally under the name “Cave Game,” has captivated a massive fan base over the years. Now, Google is joining the celebration with a fun interactive feature.
When you search for “Minecraft” on Google, you’ll notice a grass block at the bottom of the search page. Clicking on this block will transform your screen into a Minecraft-themed experience. You’ll see Steve’s arm and the iconic in-game cursor appear. As you interact with the search results, the page will start to break apart, revealing the Minecraft world underneath.
By clicking around, you can dig downwards, just like in the game, uncovering various ores, TNT, the Nether, and more. You’ll start by breaking wood with your hand and progress to crafting tools, such as a wooden pickaxe, to dig deeper and faster. Each type of material breaks at a different speed, adding to the authentic Minecraft feel.
As you dig further down the page, you can discover caves and explore the Minecraft world in more detail. In the bottom left corner, a counter keeps track of the total number of blocks you’ve broken. This engaging feature offers a fun way to celebrate Minecraft’s milestone anniversary.
