Build a Better World

Minecraft is more than just a game. It's a way for us to create a better future for everyone.

We work with extraordinary organizations around the world to raise awareness of important causes and inspire actions through play. The power of Minecraft makes it easy for members of our community (and beyond) to create real change.

Our Build a Better World initiatives come in all shapes and sizes, and each one achieves something unique and valuable in its own way. Over time, we've learned that Minecraft and our amazing community achieves great things in three focus areas that are especially important to us: Education, Equity, and Sustainability.

You Are Our Inspiration

It's not just us making amazing things happen. Build a Better World initiatives - both big and small - are happening around the world. Our community is amazing.

Equity

The freedom that Minecraft provides to players means that there's something for everyone, no matter your playstyle or background. We use this universal reach to empower underrepresented groups and to champion a culture of equality.
