Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, players built simple structures to protect themselves from nocturnal monsters. But as the game grew, players began working together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sunrise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible creatures in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. Or, if you’d prefer something calmer, you can visit a land of giant mushrooms – if that’s more your cup of tea.
