Minecraft: Story Mode is an episodic point-and-click adventure game based on the sandbox survival game Minecraft. It was developed by Telltale Games in association with Mojang, the original developer of Minecraft. Similar to TellTale's previous games, the player's choices and actions have significant effects on later story elements.

Minecraft: Story Mode was announced in December 2014, by Mojang as a mini adventure game "Info Quest II",[1] and by Telltale in a blog post.[2] The first trailer for the game was released during MineCon 2015 in July.[3] A playable demo was available at PAX Prime 2015 in August.[4] At PAX, both Aureylian[5] and Guude[6] conducted interviews with Telltale's Head of Communications, Job J. Stauffer, about the upcoming release of the game.

On 5 November, VintageBeef announced his Minecraft: Story Mode-themed build competition within Minecraft.[7]

Mindcrack Marathon[edit]

Minecraft: Story Mode had its own dedicated two hour segment during the 2015 Mindcrack Marathon, on 7 November from 1:00pm - 3:00pm PST (UTC-08:00). SethBling played through episode 1, dictating his gameplay decisions to whomever had the controller at the time. He was joined by a changing group of Mindcrackers, largely Guude and Docm77, along with Telltale employees Nathan Ortega (Community and Video Manager) and Laura Perusco (Creative Communications Manager) as guests.

$7420.39 was raised for Extra Life during the segment, accounting for 3.7% of the $200,000 marathon goal. Near the end of the segment, five minutes before UHC #ForTheKidsTwo was expected to start, Guude mentioned that there was 11,000 concurrent viewers.[12]
