Minecraft was first called 'Cave Game'. It was then changed to 'Minecraft: Order of the Stone' but to avoid it being confused with 'Order of the Stick' it was simplified to Minecraft.
When Notch first announced the game, he had not yet thought of a name, and simply referred to it as 'cave game'. Not long after the first public previews, he named it Minecraft: Order of the Stone. This was shortly after, shortened to just Minecraft.
The first EVER version of Minecraft was called "The Cave Game" Pre. The first official version of Minecraft was Creative. The first official version of Survival Minecraft was InDev, which is an abbreviation of In Development.
Cave sounds were added back in the Alpha stages of the game
Minecraft started out as Cave Game, back then it was just an idea, minecraft just expanded not really copying any other games.
Minecraft is called Minecraft because what you basically do on Minecraft is Mine (ores, wood, et cetera), and craft (decorations, weapons, food, et cetera). Mining and crafting is how you start off your Minecraft life.Minecraft also had some strange names earlier. It used to be called many different things, like "Cave Game" and "Minecraft: Order of the Stone".
Minecraft WAS going to be on the 3DS but they didn't but they made an app called Minecraft Pocket Edition for phones.
