Minecraft Review Minecraft is about IMAGINATION you can build what you're heart desires. It consists of blocks so it is not like real life that has millions of 3D shapes all around you in Minecraft the only 3D shape is a Cube. There is different modes in Minecraft Adventure Mode, Creative Mode and Survival Mode. In Adventure Mode you can't destroy cubes without the appropriate tool like "Dirt" needs a shovel or spade. Shovel and Spade are the same just that different people call it differently. In Creative Mode you have unlimited resources, you break Cubes instantly, you can fly and there is only one way you can die. Survival Mode you find food, make a house, craft tools and defend yourself from monsters called by experienced players and the Minecraft coding "Mobs " one of these Mobs is called a creeper he's the minecraft logo alongside Cubes. If you get too close he will explode and most likely kill you. There is also Multiplayer. In Multiplayer you survive but with real people. Some servers have special add-ons called plugins they make the server more interesting. In Minecraft there is no such thing as The End or Well done you're finished now buy the next game when the other games do this Minecraft doesn't you just generate a new World and you play again. You can do this when you get bored of you're world because you cannot finish the game you can get the credits which are questions asked and answered and at the end it will show the proper credits but you can't win the game it just goes on forever because it is you that decides when the World is finished Page 13 the game doesn't it goes on forever until you want to be done this is enough about the end of the game which is impossible. Minecraft also has three separate worlds in the world you made they are called "OverWorld, Nether, The End" some people call them "Realms". OverWorld is just a normal life with trees and animals and Mobs, ores and caves, mountains and valleys, swamps and plains, snow covered forests and desserts. Nether is a world called by most players "Hell’’. The End world is an island in the middle of no where because when you look around you can see a black space all around the island on top of it on the bottom around the edges. If you jump off you will die. Minecraft is ending game but what fun would you get if there was no mods? You know add-ons you don't pay for you just download them and install them. You don’t have to worry about that there is millions of mods for Minecraft on the Internet. Most mods add items into the game or they add more cubes. So you can't ever play all of it. Minecraft is really cheap it is just nineteen euro ninety five cent for the computer version. Minecraft is also on Xbox360 and iOS and Android devices. Minecraft has its own site it is https://minecraft.net/ if you want more information on how to get it go to that website. Minecraft has a lot of merchandise which means it has thousands upon thousands of toys, clothes, pillows and posters. Of course what would be a survival game without changing your character you have when you buy minecraft is "Steve". But you can change it by downloading a skin you found on the internet and then you just have to upload it on the Minecraft site. Minecraft is a game for everyone to play but you have to be careful on what server you go on or you might stumble upon someone that might cyber bully you or use bad language. Don’t worry if you are on Multiplayer and you can’t read what they are saying, Minecraft players use a lot of slang that means to cut words to make them smaller. "What" is how we would write it at school or if you were writing a letter but in Minecraft people write "Wat or Wut" they mean the same thing but they are just shortened so don’t worry if you don't understand it at first you will get it while getting used to the game.
