65 / 87 ABSTRACT: Title: SDG – One Move Matters In a world on the brink of environmental collapse, “SDG: One Move Matters” is an educational Minecraft-based game designed to raise awareness of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through immersive storytelling and gameplay. The main problem addressed is the lack of engaging, student-friendly resources that teach sustainability and global responsibility in a memorable way. This game turns that challenge into an interactive learning experience. The game targets students aged 10 – 17 and integrates three key SDGs: Climate Action (SDG 13), Life on Land (SDG 15), and Clean Energy (SDG 7). Players explore a corrupted world and must answer quizzes based on SDG-related knowledge found in in-game books. Correct answers reward players with equipment; wrong answers teleport them back to restart, encouraging critical reading and memory retention. Core features include: SDG-themed NPC quizzes with in-game educational texts. Progressive gameplay leading to a final boss battle representing pollution and environmental destruction. Custom reward system with enchanted weapons and armor. Adventure mode for immersive challenge and exploration. Clear game progression from learning to application through combat and decision- making. This game serves not just as entertainment but as a digital classroom, encouraging players to think critically about environmental issues and the power of individual action. “One Move Matters” shows that every correct answer, every responsible choice, and every player move can shape a better world.
