Minecraft
Definition
[Minecraft] - the word has it origins traced back to the english language, result of combining two words: [Mine] and [Craft], and those two words defines the foundation of this wonderful game, that is, mining and crafting.
What is it
Minecraft is a sandbox game where you can create your own worlds and
experiences using building blocks and resources. It is available on multiple
platforms such as computers, smartphones, tablets and consoles.
But actually, that definition is a little lame, so let's try again.
Minecraft is a game that combines elements of multiple types of games as
construction, exploration, survival and adventure. The thing is that it does
in a fully modifiable three-dimensional procedurally generated world, that
is it's a random world every time you create a new one, so the gameplay is
never the same. And the world is infinite! Ok, maybe not infinite but it is.
Definitely one of the funniest games to play with friends.
Want to know more about it
Check the Minecraft Wiki, it has pretty much everything you would ever want to know about the game
That looks awesome, what more can you do in it
It has a lot of features that make it so fun like:
Those blocks are one-cubic-meter-sized and there are hundreds of different blocks. In addition to blocks, the environment features plants, mobs and items.
-
In survival mode you can die by many ways like starved, drowned,
burned, killed by monsters, and more, so you have to collect
items, and survive. The game has achievements so even though the
game does not tell you the objective is accomplish those achievements
and in the process kill the bosses like the EnderDragon or the
Wither. You can die as many times as you want but you could lose
your items in the process.
-
In creative mode you are immortal and it allow you to build
anything you want because you have all the items and, you can fly
and more, so the only thing holding you back in that mode is your
creativity.
-
In adventure mode you can die but your interaction with the world
is limited, that is to experience a story that someone made for example.
-
In spectator mode you can fly and pass through blocks, that is
to watch whatever there are to be watched.
- In hardcore mode you can die only once, and the world is erased if you die and you lose all the progress, that is for the sigmas.
The game already has a bunch of options to make whatever you desire but as it is easy modifiable the community creates thousands of smart new features to the game, way more than Mojang could even implement, that you can easily try out.
The game's open-ended model allows players to create structures, creations and artwork on various competitive or collaborative multiplayer servers, including a lot of very well implemented stuff to build minigames and features, allowing for many different experiences, the community is very creative. Besides if you want to play the normal game with your friends you can enter their single-player maps and play together.
The god that created it
Minecraft was created by Markus Persson, a Swedish person named Markus... And he
is a video game programmer, designer, genius, billionaire, playboy and a
philanthropist. Who is also known as Notch.
He and his team worked on the game at Mojang Studios until 2014, when the game was sold
to Microsoft for U$ 2.5 billion.
Notch has since left Mojang and is no longer working in the game.
