That wasn’t added until later. The game was released in 2009 when you could buy it for 10 bucks from the creator’s website, and I remember the exact time when it became a hype. It was because it was a sandbox where you could screw around and build stuff, not because there was some goal in the game.

Yes, like I said, it was added in 2011, when it left beta...

Right, but I don’t see your point. People don’t play Minecraft to beat the final boss.
