You’ll also need food, as your character will get hungry. To survive in the world of Minecraft you’ll need more than just your home with a bed, your sword, and a few tools. And it’s then that you’ll make good use of your sword or bow and arrows. It’s then that you have to face off against giant spiders, skeletons, endermen, or the terrifying creepers. The other part happens at nightfall when monsters come out of their caves and the game becomes a proper survival horror title. Your only limit is your imagination, and as soon as you start creating you’ll realize that the options at your disposal are practically infinite.īut obviously, building things is only part of Minecraft. You can do everything from chipping off big chunks of stone to build a house, to chopping down trees to build furniture to put in your house, or even putting together more complex projects like wells, statues, buildings, etc. And when we say ‘however you like’, we really mean it, as you can collect blocks of any sort of material to use later for whatever you see fit. Minecraft is a game chock-full of adventure, exploring, and creativity where you survive in a world composed of blocks – similar to Legos – that you can move around, however, you like from your first-person perspective.
