What is "Lunarcraft"?
In 2007, a lunar orbiting satellite was launched from Tanegashima Space Center, Japan. The main objective was to explore the moonʼs origin and evolution. The orbiterʼs name is "KAGUYA(SELENE)".
JAXA has reproduced the lunar world in the Minecraft world based on a great amount of data obtained by "KAGUYA".
Now, letʼs start an adventure into the lunar world that is so different from Earth!
