Minecraft is a sandbox game developed by Mojang Studios. The game was created by Markus “Notch” Persson in the Java programming language. You can play in a survival world where you survive days and attempt to defeat the Ender Dragon. In the world, you can also play creative, which is a sandbox mode where you can use anything you want. Minecraft is the best-selling game of all time and people of all ages enjoy the game. The game was first made public in 2009, and then fully released in 2011.
In Minecraft, there are no goals that you must reach at the end. Although there are bosses such as the Enderdragon and the Wither, you can really just do whatever you want in the game. Gameplay is in the first-person perspective by default, but players have the option for a third-person perspective. The game world is composed of rough 3D objects—mainly cubes and fluids and commonly called “blocks”—representing various materials, such as dirt, stone, ores, tree trunks, water, and lava. The core gameplay revolves around picking up and placing these objects. These blocks are arranged in a 3D grid, while players can move freely around the world. Players can “mine” blocks and then place them elsewhere, enabling them to build things.
In survival mode, players have to gather natural resources such as wood and stone found in the environment in order to craft certain blocks and items. Depending on the difficulty, monsters spawn in darker areas outside a certain radius of the character, requiring players to build a shelter at night. The mode also has a health bar which is depleted by attacks from mobs, falls, drowning, falling into lava, suffocation, starvation, and other events. Players also have a hunger bar, which must be periodically refilled by eating food in-game, except in peaceful difficulty. Health replenishes when players have a nearly full hunger bar or continuously on peaceful difficulty.
Multiplayer in Minecraft enables multiple players to interact and communicate with each other in a single world. It is available through direct game-to-game multiplayer, LAN play, local split-screen (console-only), and servers (player-hosted and business-hosted). Players can run their own servers, use a hosting provider, or connect directly to another player’s game via Xbox Live. Single-player worlds have local area network support, allowing players to join a world on locally interconnected computers without a server setup. Minecraft multiplayer servers are guided by server operators, who have access to server commands such as setting the time of day and teleporting players. Operators can also set up restrictions concerning which usernames or IP addresses are allowed or disallowed to enter the server. Multiplayer servers have a wide range of activities, with some servers having their own unique rules and customs. The largest and most popular server is Hypixel, which has been visited by over 14 million unique players. Player versus player combat (PvP) can be enabled to allow fighting between players. Many servers have custom plugins that allow actions that are not normally possible.
