A '''world''' or '''level''' is an individual ''Minecraft'' "universe" which encompasses an instance each of the [[Overworld]], [[the Nether]] and [[the End]]. Worlds can be accessed through the [[world selection menu]] from the [[main menu]] and can be created with the "[[Create New World]]" button.

Worlds are split into three [[dimension]]s, which are in turn composed of [[block]]s of various sizes, usually either cubic or composed of one or more cuboids, or of flat plane images, all of which are arranged in [[wikipedia:Cubic honeycomb|a Euclidean grid]]. [[Fluid]]s, [[entities]] and [[particles]] also exist within these worlds, and certain locations of the world can possess [[biome]]s and different levels of [[light]]. Blocks and entities can possess other attributes such as [[item]]s, [[effect]]s and, by extension, [[enchantment]]s. Various [[structure]]s can also generate inside worlds (provided that the 'Generate structures' world option is turned on), sometimes containing [[chest]]s with [[chest loot|loot]] inside.
