[24] For those who are not familiar with Minecraft, it is a videogame about building things, in which creativity is central. Since it first emerged in May 2009, when it was called Cave Game. The gamer can place block and build three-dimensional structures -their perfect alignment recalling Lego- but with infinite pieces. “Since then, the game has developed in many ways. Builders have formed an industry of professional space-makers who earn a living out of creating worlds”. Wiltshire, A., (2018).
