    With Minecraft the hugely popular game that is a sandbox with a lo-fi theme you can explore maps, fight (or avoid) mobs, construct automated devices, and create structures, by yourself or with friends.

    Pros

    You can play as you please You can’t beat Minecraft — there aren’t any princesses to save, no armies to defeat and no obstacle courses to conquer — so you can play however you want. Find raw materials, plant food, and create items. Explore to find mansions and fortresses, villages, and explore different dimensions. You can also fight mobs including zombies, skeletons, and dragons — and even other players.

    Single or Multiplayer You can build a multiplayer world for yourself or join a network of hundreds of other players to create your own world.

    You can customize the gameto suit your needs: And you can change the characteristics of your game through community-created mods: Add a map to track your journey, for instance, or introduce new crafting recipes and items.

    You can build useful devices using redstone. Redstone lets you build automated devices from lighting, passcode doors and automated farms to Rube Goldberg machines. Redstone acts as an electrical circuit, letting you switch off and on electrical devices to create amazingly sophisticated devices.

    Engaged community The game is supported by a massive and passionate community, running forums, wikis, YouTube channels and Twitch streams. Everything you need to know about making redstone devices, as well streaming live streams of players dismantling mobs, is available here.

    Cons

    Some unruly communities of servers: Joining a server group is an excellent way to gain more about the game and take part in projects and events that you won’t be able do on your own. Many servers are well managed with attentive mods and administrators who are helpful. However certain servers are more chaotic and are not suitable for everyone.

    Modding not for the fearful: Minecraft doesn’t have an easy way to add mods, and the process can be a bit difficult. Modifying the game could require you to browse shady-looking websites, synchronize mods and game versions, install software that your computer might warn you about, and dig through folders you probably shouldn’t know about.

    Bottom Line

    The open-ended nature of Minecraft is a major reason the reason it’s so enjoyable to play. While selecting the most appropriate server community or altering the game can take some time, Minecraft is big enough to cover a wide range of play styles.
