On May 17, 2009, Minecraft was first released under the name “Cave Game,” and now it’s preparing to celebrate its 15th anniversary. As Minecraft players gear up for the fifteenth year, Google has also decided to join in on the celebration with a surprise event. Now, if you search for Minecraft on Google, you may encounter a surprise. Here’s Google’s special surprise for Minecraft’s 15th anniversary:
If you search for Minecraft on Google, you may become Steve
Minecraft, which has been played at least once by almost all gamers for the past 15 years, has a huge fan base. Google seems to have decided to have a little fun with users by taking advantage of this opportunity. If you search for Minecraft on Google, you’ll see a grass block at the bottom of the page. Here’s what happens when you click on this block.
Right now, if you type and search for Minecraft in the Google search tab, you’ll see a grass block at the bottom of the page. When you click on the block shown in the photo below, Google will switch to a new mode where you become Steve.
Next, you’ll see Steve’s arm on the screen along with the cursor icon from the game. Now, as you click on the areas at the bottom of the search results page, the Minecraft world will start to break and appear. Just like in the game, as you dig downwards, you can access the mine. If you start by chopping down trees, you can progress from a wooden pickaxe and then upgrade the pickaxe accordingly. Additionally, just like in the game, the digging time here also varies depending on the material you’re digging.
As you dig down the page, you’ll see different ores, TNT, Nether, and more. You can also dig up the stones and dirt that form on the screen. As you mine, new cave systems open up, allowing you to see the Minecraft world more clearly. At the bottom left of the screen, you can see how many blocks you’ve mined in total.
There aren’t many more details about this fun feature prepared by Google. So, did you like Google’s surprise for Minecraft’s 15th anniversary? You can share your thoughts in the comments.
