Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition
Minecraft for PC is the best-selling video game of all time. That
alone should be enough to sell you on it, but here’s a bit more
information about why you should start playing right now. It is a
sandbox game in which players must mine, build, and craft to create
their own ideal world.
About the Game
The
premise of the game is laughably simple: you arrive in the game with
nothing more than your hands and a limited inventory. You mine to gather
materials which you then use to make tools and build houses and other
buildings.
Resources range from the very common to the super
rare, and often the rarest and most valuable commodities are the hardest
to reach, requiring deep mining and even the building of reinforced
tunnels to keep flood water or rock falls from setting you back.
There
is no story arc, as such: it is entirely up to you as to what you want
to achieve. You can build cities, or a rural mansion, you can farm sheep
or go fishing. The game is exactly what you and your imagination want
it to be.
Some Famous Minecraft Feats
If you want to see some examples of what the game can do the following are easily findable with a quick Google:
The
Eiffel Tower has been recreated in exquisite and accurate detail in the
game. The careful and dedicated player even recreated the beautiful
parklands nearby, so you can go and have a look-see around a part of
Paris that will make you feel as though you have actually been there
Kings
Landing from Game of Thrones. It took 175 players two and half years to
build the iconic city from the even more iconic television blockbuster.
There are also a host of other fictional towns and cities from games
(Sonic, Bioshock), popular culture (Star Wars), and books, such as the
Lord of the Ring trilogy
The medieval town of Chester in the United
Kingdom has been painstakingly recreated by a man who lived nearby. He
wanted a project to work on with his daughters and the picturesque old
town was their favourite place to visit. Hours of careful research and
crafting has seen them recreate the city in exquisite detail
Working
computers and iPhone. A couple of genius players have recreated a
working computer – complete with programs that can be run by curious
visitors – and an early edition iPhone, complete with touchscreen and
apps
Some Hints for Fun Play
There are no
instructions about how to craft within the game, but there are a huge
number of wikis and how-tos online. Find a couple of sites that seem to
have all the info you need and keep the tabs open while you’re playing
so that you don’t waste too much time should you forget how to craft a
specific item or need a bit of info on what to do next.
Watch out
for Creepers! These sneaky fellows will creep up on you (hence the
name) utter a short hiss (just long enough to scare the pants off you
but not long enough that you can run away) and then explode, killing you
and damaging anything in the immediate vicinity.
If you do
manage to kill a Creeper before they get you, they can drop experience
pearls which are valuable and should be gathered without delay.
Other
monsters include spiders, skeletons, zombies, witches, slimes, Endermen
and endermites, and more. Each can be defeated in its own way, and
learning how to do this can be a steep and thrilling learning curve!
Animals
and monsters are called ‘mobs’. Not because they throng around you
(although they can) but because it is short for ‘mobile’ meaning that
they can move around – and even wander away altogether if you are not
quick at setting out after them!
Ways to Play
Survival
Mode: plenty of enemies, this is an exciting and engrossing level to
play if you’re looking for some excitement to while away a bit of time.
Creative
Mode: perfect for those who want to build and see how far they can push
their imagination. The world is yours to shape your way!
Minecraft
for PC is available for purchase on Instant Gaming for a fraction of its
retail price. You will receive an official key and be able to play the
game in seconds. Play smart. Pay less.
