I september 2010 blokkerte [[PayPal]] [[Markus Persson]]s konto. Transaksjonene på kontoen var usannsynlig store og ble derfor betraktet som suspekte. Pressen fikk kjennskap til saken og deretter tok salget av enda mer.<ref>{{Webbref|etternavn=Chalk|fornavn=Andy|titel=PayPal Freezes $750K in MineCraft Dev's Account|url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/103385-PayPal-Freezes-750K-in-MineCraft-Devs-Account|verk=The Escapist|hentedato=2010-10-29|dato=2010-09-10|hämtdatum=2010-10-28|arkivurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100913045730/http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/103385-PayPal-Freezes-750K-in-MineCraft-Devs-Account|arkivdatum=2010-09-13}}</ref>

Etter et [[server]]problem ble spillet lagt ut gratis i en periode, og straks etter ble det i løpet av 24 timer solgt over 25 000 spill.

Spillet blir verdsatt for friheten det gir spillerne, og for dets dynamiske spillopplevelse. En anmeldelse av alfaversjonen, skrevet av Scott Munro på Daily Record, beskrev spillet som «allerede noe enestående» og oppmuntret leserne til å kjøpe det.<ref>{{Webbref|etternavn=Munro|fornavn=Scott|titel=Minecraft (Alpha Review)|url=http://blogs.dailyrecord.co.uk/gaming/2010/07/minecraft-alpha-review.html|verk=Daily Record|hentedato=2010-10-17|dato=2010-07-27|url-status=død|arkivurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206150152/http://blogs.dailyrecord.co.uk/gaming/2010/07/minecraft-alpha-review.html|arkivdato=2010-12-06 }}</ref> Jim Rossignol fra ''[[Rock, Paper, Shotgun]]'' anbefalte også spillet.<ref name="RPSreview"/> Den 17. september 2010 begynte ''[[Penny Arcade]]'' en serie komiske nyhetsposter om hvor avhengighetsfremkallende spillet er.<ref>{{Webbref|etternavn=Holkins|fornavn=Jerry|titel=Mine All Mine, Part One|url=http://www.penny-arcade.com/2010/9/17/|hentedato=2010-10-17|6=|dato=2010-09-17|hämtdatum=2010-10-28|arkivurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100918055932/http://www.penny-arcade.com/2010/9/17/|arkivdatum=2010-09-18}}</ref>
