Minecraft

Hey peoples. Today is another videogame blog. Here it goes.



This blog is on, probably my favorite videogame, Minecraft. Minecraft is game with a large world made out of blocks that the player can remove and place. There are 3 modes of gameplay, survival, hardcore, and creative. In creative mode monsters cannot hurt you, you can fly, and you have an unlimited amount of every block. The goal here is just to build whatever you want from futuristic space stations in the sky to towering citadels. In survival mode you start out with nothing in your inventory and a health bar. In this mode you need to craft tools to mine, farm plants, build a house to protect yourself at night when the monsters come out, and finally travel to 2 other dimensions to defeat 2 bosses. If you die you lose everything you had in your inventory and respawn where you last slept in a bed. You have five minutes to find where you died to get your stuff back which will be lying on the ground. After five minutes your things will disappear. After you beat both bosses you have beat the game but you can still continue playing on the same world. Hardcore mode is just like survival mode but once you die you can no longer interact with anything else in the world.



Minecraft is available for PC, smartphone, and Xbox. On the phone there are not any caves underground, the world is much smaller, there is not as many blocks, and you cannot travel to either dimension or fight either boss. On Xbox it has caves under ground, large but not infinite worlds, all the blocks in the PC version and you can travel to both dimensions and fight both bosses. The PC version has large caves, infinite worlds, all the blocks, and both bosses and dimensions.



Another reason I like Minecraft is that it can be heavily modded. Minecraft has many story possibilities but perhaps the most prominent is a medieval fantasy world. And free mods add many new things like more monsters, new dimensions, bosses, blocks, tools and weapons. The possibilities are endless.
