Minecraft Experience 

Minecraft is a sandbox 3D survival game. Here, players are granted with lots of freedom in choosing how to play, as the game does not have a specific goal. By default, Minecraft is played from the first-perspective, but users can switch to the third-perspective in the settings. The game five main modes are: 

• Survival. Here, players will be limited in resources and have to collect them while defending yourself from the enemies. Also, you can craft various buildings or castles, attack the buildings of other players and stole their properties and gained resources.
• Hardcore. It is the hardest mode in Minecraft. From first glance, it is very similar to Survival but it has stricter rules and features permadeath.
• Creative. In Creative mode, players are not limited in resources and do not have enemies. They can build whatever they want and explore the entire world without limits;
• Adventure. Here, you can try to play the maps and small games developed by other players. It is very similar to Survival mode but with various additions that were applied by the game’s creator.
• Spectator. In this mode, you can not actually play but you can watch how other gamers are playing and explore their strategies. 

Minecraft Requirements

Minecraft features the endless game world that is procedurally generated when users start to explore it. A distinctive feature of the game is the use of pixel and block graphics. That is why all objects in Minecraft look very rough and do not have rounded corners. The game’s world is divided into the special parts named “biomes” that feature various natural conditions, such as jungles, forests, snowfields, and so on. There are a set of special music and sounds effects created especially for Minecraft by Daniel Rosenfeld, the German musician. Overall, the game has ambient music on the background.
