Behind the scenes at Minecraft HQ

Ricky is at the home of Minecraft in Stockholm, Sweden, to find out what goes into making one of the most popular computer games of all time!
Minecraft was first created in 2009 and later released by the Swedish games company Mojang. Since then, it's sold more than a massive 120 million copies around the world.
Even though American tech giants Microsoft bought Mojang in 2014, Sweden's capital city of Stockholm is still the home of Minecraft. It's where the teams who make the game work.
But it's not all fun and games - many of you have told us about the problems you have with bullying in Minecraft, or 'griefing'. What are the people who make the game doing to keep you safe?
Ricky got an exclusive look around the game's HQ.

So who better to answer YOUR questions about Minecraft?
