The full release, version 1.0, was released on November 18, 2011. OS X, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi, XBox, and PlayStation versions are also available. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft)

Minecraft is dependent on the sun-java6-jre package from the Partner repositories in order to operate on Ubuntu, as the game was built using the Sun Java environment, published by Oracle.
