Uh...Not really 'completed' since they still do updates...Released is the only milestone you can really do thats sort of like 'completed'. To be honest you could always just search google instead of making a forum post. If you don't find search results, that should be a clear signal that you're looking for the wrong thing.

Mining and crafting since 1.2.5, baby. I'm such a pro that---Okay who put my noob test results in my signature?!

Why are you so fascinated with my description?

As Elita said, MC is still in development, although technically you could say that MC as a game was completed at the 1.0 update because the End and the end credits were introduced.

As a side note, I recommend NOT writing a paper on this.

What I mean Is when version 1.0.0 was complete because that is a major developement milestone

I'm in agreement with rodabon. The game's completion was when 1.0 was released.

But I have to discourage Mineraft as a topic for a paper. This sounds like a history assignment. Why not the Han Dynasty? Plenty of material there.

It's still not complete. Everything feels incomplete. Examples:

• There are biome exclusive mob variants, but there are so few it barely adds anything.
• There are more than a dozen potion effects without craftable potions
• Loot enchantments were made, a whopping two of them! (Same for curses)
• Cool dungeons such as mineshafts, strongholds, monuments and mansions exist but it seems like there should be more of these and their loot is still garbage.
• The Nether is lack luster besides Nether forts.
• There are two water mobs, one is monument exclusive.
• Most biomes feel lifeless because there are no wild animals
• The player can become super powerful but there is nothing worth fighting against with such power except other players
• Caves spiders still don't spawn in caves

Praise be to Spode.
