[KM] What is Minecraft?

Posted by koldmonster1 on March 21, 2011, 12:33 p.m.

It's been a long time we post a blog on 64Digits.com. We'll talk about the on-line spelunker and builder called MineCraft. I haven't learned anything about this game, yet, but we' ll talk about this game.

Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens. It also has music by C418! Minecraft features a classic version, which lets you enjoy some simple features of the game (might be outdated but playable). And there's a Beta version, which lets you enjoy new actions and features that are not in the Classic version. In order to play Minecraft, newcomers need to sign up for this game. Registration is simple. Then the existing users may log in.

Minecraft features 3-D pixel-lated graphics, sound effects & music, crafting, world making and more. This game is imaginative. You can punch trees, mine gold and/or silver, scoop out dirt and sand, and making new crafts. Minecraft was developed by Markus Persson. It's been under development since about May 10, 2009. We talk about the modes we have in this game. Here's what he said:

Quote: Markus Persson
I strongly believe that all good stories have a conflict, and that all good games tell a good story regardless of if it's pre-written or emergent. Free building mode is fine and dandy, but for many people it will ultimately become boring once you've got it figured out. It's like playing a first person shooter in god mode, or giving yourself infinite funds in a strategy game.. a lack of challenge kills the fun.

For survival mode, I'd rather make the game too difficult than too easy. That also means I'm going to have to include some way of winning the game (or some other climax) to prevent it becoming too exhausting.

My recommended goal when I might play Minecraft is to try to build a shelter or the hilltops before night time. The tutorials should get you started on Minecraft. For tutorials on Minecraft, visit http://www.minecraft.net and click on Help.

Minecraft should be suitable for players who are building and making new crafts. The game might be a bit boring, but building is much of the challenge!

Minecraft is available now on Beta release for download at http://www.minecraft.net. Players who should be interested in building should sign up [:)]. I hope you enjoyed the preview of Minecraft for PC. See you next time!

You really should have noticed there's a "Join our Minecraft server" message underneath the 64digits logo before posting this blog.

*facepalm*

You're many months late to the minecraft party. We've had a 64D server up since what, November? Its right at the top of the screen under the logo, even.

Edit: Cesque beat me to it.

This guy is always late on his news.

But he's one of the only reviewers the site has, and does a good job otherwise.

Minecraft huh? Sounds rather pointless to punch trees if you ask me. I mean, who would even enjoy that!

Btw, the graphics sux. It's 2011 God damnit!
