Copies sold is not the same as players

A copy is a purchase. Monthly active players counts the accounts that played in a given month, a different measurement that can rise and fall from one month to the next. The most recent monthly figures with a clear public source are 112 million in September 2019, 126 million in May 2020 and 140 million in April 2021.

The version of Minecraft in mainland China is published by NetEase, not by Mojang.

Total copies sold and the player count history go through the milestones, monthly active players covers the player side, and Java vs Bedrock and players by platform look at how the audience splits.
