The Comprehensive History of Minecraft (Work in progress)

CreeperScope's comprehensive history of Minecraft! The structure & nomenclature of the timeline is based off of the International Geologic Time Scale (GTS) & is divided into four tiers: Long eras (placeholder name): 2 Eras: 5 Periods: 11 Stages: To Be Determined (TBD) Names of the eras: Anaptyxian = Development, Chrysosian = Gold, Skourian(Placeholder) = Rust, Orimasic = Maturity. This timeline is supposed to encompass all editions (ie. Java, Bedrock, Console...) Though I am interested in making separate timelines for each. The timeline also takes into account community events & trends, but this could have a larger margin of error than in other areas. I am open to suggestions & help with research for the project! CURRENT STATUS I'm probably going to start by focusing on the first three years of Minecraft since this era is actually pretty well documented, & has a dedicated community. After the Axial period, things are going to get much more complicated. May 2025 Update: I'm currently taking a break from Minecraft. Expect less progress for the next few months. Don't worry, I still have my mind on the timeline, it'll just take a while.
