Minecraft was initially launched in 2011 and has been popular with gamers ever since. There were 126 million active players in 2020.

The latest games that were released were Minecraft Dungeons in 2020, and Minecraft Earth in 2019. There are two versions in the game; Survival mode and Creative mode. In Creative mode, players have all resources available for them to build their ideal digital world.

Kate Fromings from Whatshed.co.uk, said: “Minecraft is more popular than ever, and with the new Claves & Cliffs game scheduled to be released in 2021, we expect its popularity will continue to grow. Whilst we have a roadmap from the government, many of us are still going to be at home for the next few months, and virtual games have the power of allowing players to stay connected even with the ongoing restrictions.

“Here at WhatShed we love everything gardens and wanted to share our passions with the gamers of the world! Our reason behind setting up this service was to extend our passions into virtual dimensions, especially whilst most of us aren’t outside as much as we’d like at the moment.

“We’re looking forward to recruiting some talented virtual gardeners for the service, and helping players create the universe of their dreams.”
