Minecraft is played by millions of people around the world. Let's discuss the merits of the game and it will help to understand why many people love it so much.
You have already heard about Minecraft, is not it? While it was only officially released, it was already played by millions. This game has become an international phenomenon. In fact, talking about the official release means dissembling, given the solvency of users. They enjoyed it in alpha and beta test releases of Minecraft. Now we can calmly discuss the merits of the game and understand why so many people love it so much.
Minecraft is a game about creation. A game about survival, discovery, society, loneliness, creativity and desperation. First you enter the desert. No, this is not that familiar desert, it expands after each step until you reach the peak and enter the world, three times the size of your native Earth. But this, of course, will not happen.
Your destination may be a forest, a desert island, or the top of a snow-capped mountain. At first everything is always peaceful. Most players do not immediately realize that monsters can appear from any unlit area. Caves and tunnels are by no means safe during the day. However, after 15 minutes of play, the sun begins to set...
Your destination may be a forest, a desert island, or the top of a snow-capped mountain.
Everyone who played Minecraft says that they remember their “first night” in all colors. Some spend it on grassy plains, escaping skeletons and zombies. Others panic and dig holes in the ground with their bare hands, then sit in it all night, watching the stars glow overhead and praying for the soon coming of the day. Still others hide in a cave, previously sealed with dirt blocks, and consider their protection safe until a poisonous spider materializes from the darkness and begins to bite.
But soon you will learn that things should be different. The next day, you zealously collect firewood, create tools for yourself, find coal in the mines, and voila - you have a hut built by you with torches. Torches, as a constant source of light, keep monsters at bay. With the advent of a new day, it becomes necessary to collect even more materials. The hut turns into a real home. Building another floor. Trying to build a fireplace, but a failed attempt convinces you to move from wood to stone. Then there is a desire to build a ladder to the roof to sit there at night and watch the hostile world, expressed in monsters roaming the earth.
Everyone who played Minecraft says that they remember their “first night” in all colors
One night, you catch yourself staring at the moon. Suddenly, the game's soundtrack debuts minimal and sad at the same time. It is impossible to understand why right now you feel terribly lonely and sad. At this point, it dawns on you that Minecraft has hooked you.
There is something strange and primal about it. In terms of gameplay, there is little reason to venture outside of your hut. But the desire to experiment, create, and tame the surrounding wilderness constantly drives the player to new challenges and new experiences. See that huge cave near your house? Horror is simple. But if you have a lot of resources, you can explore the cave, clear it of monsters, hang torches on the walls, illuminating and securing it. As an added bonus, there is a wonderful opportunity to find rare materials in it, and there are more chances to get ore in caves, you can hide your treasures there. The grim inevitability of your next cave exploration is that it brings a sense of relief to Minecraft.
Minecraft provides the opportunity for cooperation, you can create a city together with other players.
But let's say you're not the biggest fan of terror, isolation, or impromptu introspection. This is where team play opportunities arise.
The mere fact of having other people around to talk and collaborate drastically changes the fundamentals of Minecraft, but the experience is still valuable and compelling.
The game servers are unique and varied. In some worlds, the sun always shines, allowing users to collect the necessary things and create whatever they want. These are servers where you can definitely find football stadiums, giant statues or even cathedrals. Many, however, prefer to keep the survival aspects, although obviously the danger is greatly reduced if you have a group of players working together. And, instead of having your own little shelter for protection, you surround yourself with a whole city.
The sense of community inspired by a game about hostile worlds is a fascinating thing. Without any real leaders, gamers instinctively draw close to each other, forming settlements, sharing resources collected for the common good. After the foundation, the construction of the perimeter, the town hall, gardens, farms appear. Or candy stores that look like a giant Victorian Biscuit with candles. This really happens!
See that huge cave near your house? A great opportunity to explore the cave, clear it of monsters, hang torches on the walls, light and secure.
Exploring caves is also more fun when you have a shared team goal. Players fight side by side to claim new territory when the cave is nearly exhausted. With friends, it is easier to survive the attack of monsters lurking in the dark, it is easier to find a way out of a difficult situation.
The friendly game also has another very obvious bonus - you can show your creations to other gamers. And if you have not been on the server for several days, then when you log in, you will be delighted with the sight of a settlement that has grown and developed without your help.
Minecraft is far from the first game of its kind, and it won't be the last. However, there is something special about her. Yes, the visual aspects are good, but creativity and independence are her main qualities. Will most users be able to model a house in 3D Studio Max? Well, definitely not! But they can build a house in Minecraft. Its simplicity allows people to interact with its capabilities.
Minecraft is by far one of the most addictive and progressive games ever made. Minecraft gives you the freedom to let your imagination run wild.
In addition, materials differ not only visually - each type has its own unique properties, and using them and manipulating them for your own purposes, you even bring joy to yourself. From lining the fireplace with stone to keep the rest of the building from burning, to building complex logic circuits with magical red dust, there is a wide variety of games to choose from.
Yes, Minecraft is by far one of the most exciting and progressive games ever made, both in terms of its bent towards procedural generation and emergent gameplay, and in terms of open development. In an era when the creation of most games is a closely guarded secret, millions of people were invited to buy Minecraft and try it out before they finished writing the final code. This approach has led to an unprecedented amount of useful feedback for developers and enriched their wallets at the same time.
If you haven't started playing yet, then start now. Most importantly, please don't forget to build the hut before sunset.
It seems to me that now there is not a single person who has not heard about the Minecraft universe. Even an ordinary layman who is not interested in games indirectly knows about Minecraft. What can we say about gamers and those who are fans of the game?
But even if we've been playing a particular favorite game for a long time, few of us wonder how it all started?
And that is why we decided to write about the history of creation.
The creator of Minecraft is Markus Persson, better known by the nickname Notch, and the game at the very beginning had a completely different name - CaveGame, which quickly changed to the familiar to users and the ear - Minecraft.
The first "build" was developed by Markus in his free time on New Year's Eve, and the launch into production and subsequent development took place in May 2009 at a specialized forum. At that time, there were only two blocks in the game: earth and cobblestone. The map was generated in a completely strange and ugly way, the logic was not visible in the world and all that could be done was to move and jump.
In Minecraft version 0.0.9a, released literally three days later (May 13), mobs have already appeared (which just ran around waving their arms), the ability to put and remove blocks, as well as blocks of dirt, stone and wood.
The development was very active - new blocks appeared every five days, and the possibilities of the world generator were improved and finalized. In version 0.0.12a there was an ocean surrounding the map around the perimeter and lava.
In version 0.0.14a experiments with the existing world began (although almost immediately ended) - blocks of earth, stone and grass ceased to be square and received a unique shape depending on the surrounding world. Unfortunately, I couldn't find good screenshots.
Already in June 2009, the first multiplayer for the game appeared - the blocks became square again, and people playing on the same server had the same animation of the mob running and waving their arms. Beginning with 0.0.15a Notch has to choose between areas of work on Minecraft - either this is an improvement in the multiplayer component of the game, or the development of the world.
Of course, the development did not go as smoothly and beautifully as I describe to you here - the game was filled with numerous bugs and errors, which, however, were fixed quite quickly - it was clear and obvious that the game development process itself gives the author incredible pleasure even after several patches with fixes and functionality for multiplayer went patches for new blocks and features.
The first more or less stable release was the version 0.24 - the world in it was generated beautifully and more like the modern version - many bugs were fixed. It became possible to collect broken blocks and place them in the inventory from below, but health, hunger and crafting itself have not yet been delivered, it will appear a little later, but also in version 0.24, just in later builds. 0.24 became a kind of milestone in the development of Minecraft and separated the previous "creative" part from the new, "surviving" part.
In fact, from version 0.24 to 0.30 version was in active testing, this branch was called Classic and was developed from May to December 2009.
In 2014, Microsoft bought Mojang. And although this fact did not affect the game or the gameplay of Minecraft in any way, the event itself remains significant.
Minecraft is like a living mechanism that has tried on many features and blocks in eight years. What will change in the Minecraft universe in the future? Will it be something drastic? There are no answers to the questions, and we can only wait for the update.
minecraft- is a legendary sandbox that has been winning the hearts of gamers around the world for several years. A computer indie game created in a linear genre with elements of a simulator. The name of the game appeared by combining two English words: "mine" (mine, mine) and "craft" (craft). We can say that Minecraft is a mining craft.
The game was developed in Sweden by programmer Markus Persson, who later founded Mojang. Initially, the idea was to create an imitation of the Infinminer simulator, although the Minecraft gameplay is more reminiscent of Dwarf Fortress. The first release of the PC version took place in 2009. In 2011, Mojang released an enhanced version of the game.
In 2014, the rights to Minecraft were transferred to the American corporation Microsoft. Prototyping and support for all versions of the game is carried out by the British team 4J Studios. Today Minecraft is available for all popular game consoles, operating systems and mobile devices. For touch tablets and phones, the game is called Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
Minecraft is written entirely in Java. Here, each player has the opportunity to build the world of their dreams, because any block, wall or object can be destroyed and rebuilt in a new way. You can build both the wonders of the industrial age and recreate ancient treasures - this fascinates Minecraft users. At the disposal of the gamer is a three-dimensional generated world, which consists entirely of cubes. By the principle of construction, the game resembles the world-famous LEGO constructor. There are no clearly defined goals for the player, you can independently explore the world, make decisions, create various structures and fight opponents. The course of the game is completely controlled by the gamer himself.
Minecraft has become one of the most popular PC games in history as of January 2018. In terms of the number of users, the game is second only to Tetris. Cumulative sales across all platforms exceeded 144 million copies today, with 74 million active players. Minecraft has received first place several times at the annual ceremonies: Golden Joystick Award and Spike Video Game Awards.
At the moment, Minecraft is presented in four versions: free Creative and paid modes Adventure, Survival and Hardcore. Let's talk about the features and capabilities of each mode.
To play the creative version, you do not need to purchase a paid license, access the game online in a browser or in a game client for premium users. The browser game is presented in an older version. In creative mode, the player is given great freedom for creativity and access to the extraction of various materials (crafting): stone, wood, metal, wool and others. You can build and enjoy your creations without limits. In this mode, the game has no end and it is impossible to die. Here you do not have to collect resources to survive or fight enemies, unlike the Survival version. In this mode, the player is almost omnipotent: he can fly, break almost any block with one blow, and all resources are available in unlimited quantities.
The "survival" mode accordingly implies certain difficulties that the player will have to learn to cope with in order to successfully expand their borders. In this version, as in creative mode, the main goal is to build. However, now the player is not only building, but also trying to survive. The day lasts only 10 minutes, and with the onset of night, enemies appear. In survival, the player can perform various manipulations and earn points on it, in addition, now you will need to collect certain materials and fight off hostile mobs. In this mode, falls from great heights and deep jumps into the water are prohibited, otherwise “game over” and everything will have to start from the starting point - the bed where the player last woke up. In addition, there will be scales of health and hunger. To place a block and start building, you first need to mine it. With updates 1.2, zombies appeared in the game, which behave differently depending on the selected game mode.
This version is slightly different from "Survival". The key feature is that the player has only one life pool. If the character dies, the world is completely erased. There will no longer be an opportunity to change the difficulty level. With the 1.2 and 1.4 update, zombies in this level can break down wooden doors and pick up player items. You can set the mode to Hardcore Creative or Hardcore Adventure.
This mode appeared in the updated version of Minecraft 1.3.1. The key difference is that you can break blocks only with the help of certain tools, and some blocks are in principle not available to the player.
Both a pumped gamer and a beginner can enjoy playing Minecraft. By its principle, the game is similar to PRG-entertainment. The player has a health and armor indicator. If enemies deal damage to you, this will instantly be reflected on the life bar. If you die or fall from a great height, you will respawn in the place where you first appeared, but you will lose all the resources collected during this time. If you died within walking distance of the spawn, you can try to quickly get to the place of death and collect materials again. Resources will remain untouched for 5 minutes, like any unattended material, then they will disappear.
In the game, you can create things and items that affect the standard of living. For example, build a dwelling, make high-quality tools, create farms, mine minerals and automate many processes.
From the point of view of the gameplay, the main character has no particular reason to go beyond his home, but human curiosity and a thirst for experiments and new discoveries play into the hands here. The wild environment constantly drives the user to solve new difficulties and gain valuable experience. For example, next to your dwelling there is a terrible cave, which is probably fraught with many dangers and evil spirits. However, it is worth showing a little courage and voila: the cave will be transformed into an underground passage lit by torches, at the end of which you can store your wealth. As additional bonuses, when destroying the enemy and clearing the cave, the gamer will receive rare materials and treasures. In addition, it is much easier to mine ore in caves.
Minecraft also has a multiplayer mode in which you can play with friends, all game servers are private, there are simply no official ones. Friendly play has a number of distinct advantages. Firstly, you can explore hard-to-reach regions and areas together, so you will defeat enemies faster. Secondly, you can show off your creations and successes to other gamers. Thirdly, if you have not been in the game for several days, when you return, you will be able to enjoy the still prosperous settlement.
Almost immediately after the release of Minecraft, in 2009, a fresh variation of the game called "Indev" appeared. The initial development of the game began to evolve rapidly, the boundaries of the map expanded significantly. Following "Infdev", an improved version with a full-fledged multiplayer "Alpha" soon appeared.
The surrounding world strikes the imagination of the gamer from the very first minutes with its size and diversity. Before you opens a huge scope for exploration and adventure. All Minecraft maps are lined up using a random number generator and have significant differences: from tiny to incredibly large, this makes the game completely unpredictable. But the main feature of the gaming reality is that the whole world is divided into cubic blocks. Each cube can be destroyed, materials can be taken away and used to create your own work of art. During the game you will meet different rocks, coal, sand and several types of wood.
"Pseudo-random algorithms" generate terrain: fields, mountains, plants, stones and soil. Each Minecraft map is unique and has no prerequisites. During the generation of the future world, a seed is used that determines the key parameters of the map: size, landscape, soil structure. If you enter the same seed value on different computers, the map generation will be identical on both PCs. If the seed field is left blank, it will automatically use the current time value.
To date, there are a huge number of programs for building levels, for example: JPiolho, Omen, ZOMG, etc. Thanks to the editors, you can create maps with a very realistic landscape. A maximum of one map can have up to 25 million blocks, which means that it will take you several years to complete it in its entirety.
At the same time, the gaming reality of Minecraft cannot be called disorderly at all. The generated world is divided into the so-called biomes, in which the blocks are combined into 16 * 16 * 28, respectively, the biomes are 32 * 32 blocks. These associations are considered regions and are stored in a separate game file. Each biome is unique in its own way and represents a new climate and an abundance of new breeds. On the way you will meet deserts, mountains, coniferous forests and steppes. In addition, the weather also changes, then you travel under the scorching sun, then it rains or snows like a wall. The time of day also changes.
At night, by the way, it is quite dangerous to move in the "survival" mode. At night, there is practically no lighting, but various creatures are selected for a walk, eager to eat you. It is also dangerous to explore poorly lit caves, remember that the most dangerous monsters lurk under cover of darkness.
Everyone who has ever played Minecraft remembers their "first night". Some spend it in the plains, fighting off skeletons and zombies, others dig a hole in the ground with their bare hands, where they sit out the night, others think that a cave will save them until a poisonous spider appears. However, the very next day, absolutely every player begins to diligently extract resources in order to build himself at least a small hut.
The game's servers are incredibly unique and varied. In some worlds it is always sunny and you can easily collect resources and create any buildings. In such maps, you will definitely find large-scale stadiums, statues and cathedrals. In others, there will be much more difficulties on your way, and the surrounding landscape can please you only with gloomy weather and constant rain. How to develop in Minecraft is the choice of absolutely everyone. You can live peacefully in a small hut, or you can rebuild a palace or surround yourself with a whole city.
Minecraft fell in love with users for the fact that it provides a boundless flight of fancy and a field for independence. To date, the game is recognized as one of the most progressive and exciting in the world. Of course, Minecraft is far from the first and not the last sandbox game of its kind. However, it is considered absolutely special, and stands out from the background of many game simulations. Of course, there is thoughtful visualization and high-quality sound accompaniment, but they love the game for the opportunity to create and be individual. Yes, the modern world provides the user with a wide scope for art. But after all, most people will not be able to model their own house in 3D Max, and in Minecraft they can build entire palaces and settlements. The simplicity of the game captivates many gamers, because here you do not need to have any specific knowledge or skills, the game is available for everyone.
All game resources differ not only visually, but also have unique properties and characteristics. Using materials, you discover new completely unexpected knowledge that improves the player from level to level. For example, in order to protect a building from a fire, it is necessary to overlay a fireplace with stone, and complex logic circuits can only be built with the help of red magic dust. The rich variety and scope of the game allow everyone to make their own choice.
Minecraft is considered one of the best games in terms of gameplay and procedural generation. Millions of people have experienced the gaming reality of Minecraft even before the code was cleaned up and brought to full completion.
If you are not familiar with Minecraft yet, start right now and unexplored horizons will certainly open before you. But most importantly, do not forget to take care of your own home before nightfall.
Minecraft is an excellent sandbox building game that provides a variety of options for existence in an 8-bit virtual world. It gives you the opportunity to use your ingenuity and create in a completely destructible world.
I wonder why Lego doesn't look beyond the Lego Batman game and create something in the style of Minecraft that allows players to create a virtual world out of blocks? Some other companies have taken up this idea and released Minecraft-style games on personal computers that are no less impressive than the original.
Today we will talk about free analogues, so paid analogues, like Terraria, known to many, will not be included in this review. All links to download games lead to their official websites.
Terasology is a beautiful creation inspired by Minecraft. It uses a number of borrowings from his gameplay, including crafting and user interface elements, but the graphics are too good to be called just a clone of Terasology.
Terasology is incredibly similar to Minecraft!
The developers have created a virtual masterpiece, a dazzling 3D blocky world. The game has a full-fledged change of day and night, the night environment looks very impressive, especially under the light of the pixel moon.
The game runs on Java, which may not appeal to users who think about the security of their computers. Terasology can be played in a browser, but it will take some time to load, so make sure you have a fast internet connection.
It looks like a house built in the game.
In StarMade, gamers explore many worlds in an endless universe. There are hundreds of completely different planets to explore in a vast procedurally generated universe, with space stations to command and enemies to fight. The game allows you to build your own ship from texture blocks and prepare your base for exploring the vast space.
The interior of your space base might look like this.
The game is similar to Homeworld, but takes place in a blocky endless 3D universe similar to Minecraft.
Outwardly, it may look like this. The flight of fancy is unlimited.
The building ideas in StarMade are just as endless, with a myriad of options for building and expanding your base in the open universe. Actions are carried out in the same way as in other space games, it is possible to form alliances with other gamers and fight epic battles in space.
Of considerable interest is the construction mode. You can create many giant stations in space and ships, but you must make sure that the ships are functioning. StarMade is based on physics, so the building mechanics, while simple, can be quite demanding when building huge space stations. You can learn the basics of the game in the manual built into the game, or on the Russian-language sites of StarMade fans.
One of the many spaceships. Similar ships are almost never found.
Basically, this game is for those who want to build spaceships and love space games in general.
You can download the StarMade game from the development site here: starmade.org/download . At the time of writing this article, Russian-speaking fans of space Minecraft have almost completed its translation into Russian. Their official VKontakte group is here: vk.com/starmade. There you can download the finished translation and help in its completion.
Block Miner is a 2D game with gameplay elements similar to Terraria. There are many randomly generated worlds to explore, collect and craft.

Infiniminer is designed to encourage team competition. The team that finds and mines the most virtual gold and gems wins.
This game was the first to introduce a procedurally generated pixel world. After that, it was eclipsed by more interesting competitors.
Alas, the development of the game stalled a month after its release. Despite this, it is still free to play by searching for "Infiniminer" and downloading the game. There are simply no download links on the official website of the project.
Epic Inventor at first glance is a clone of Terraria. This game offers RPG and real-time strategy elements and is a great way to show off your building skills.
You can build cities, robots, turrets and other objects and weapons from scratch, extracting resources.
Like Terraria, Epic Inventor focuses on your character's adventures. You will need to travel through forests and plains, collecting resources and items based on them. Then you can build a city, buildings and protection for them from various enemies.
Epic Inventor can be attributed to the RTS genre with elements of resource extraction, construction and destruction of objects.
As we move forward, the game becomes less and less like Terraria and more like a true real-time strategy game like Age of Empires. For example, you have to build sawmills to get wood.
the game is available for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Now the authors are developing version 2.0, and the current version is offered for download: download.epicinventor.com/download.php
Manic Digger is another block building game that used to be a third party to the classic version of Minecraft.

As you can see, if you do not want to buy Minecraft, or you are already tired of it, there are interesting free analogues that make it possible to get inaccessible features and unique gameplay, all in the same familiar cubic world.
Minecraft- a game written in java by Markus Persson is a world consisting of square blocks of various types, which can be destroyed and installed in arbitrary places, creating structures according to the principle of a designer.
Minecraft game, from the very beginning was created as a clone of the game, Infiniminer
This is a game with almost unlimited possibilities. You can only be limited by your imagination.
Minecraft is the kind of game that you can get into with your head, where you can mine resources, build incredible buildings, have fun on servers with friends.
Not one game can boast such a large number of mods as Minecraft.
There are mods for almost everything, if it seems to you that the game is ugly and dull - install the mod on shaders and you will immediately see the result.
If you are a fan of RPG games, then there are mods for you that allow you to upgrade your character.
Minecraft is still evolving. The game doesn't stand still. In almost every version of the game, developers introduce innovations.
Minecraft mobs:
To open the controls in Minecraft, you need to go to Settings / Controls. Here are the actions and buttons corresponding to them. Default button settings:
Additional control
Minecraft servers are an online world for a large number of players.
These servers are of different types:
Vanilla and Bukkit. Vanilla ones differ in that you cannot put plugins on them. And Bukkit is already an additional server core that allows you to improve the server with plugins.
There are also varieties of server cores, but going so deep into the structure of servers does not make sense for a simple player.
There are also PVP and PVE servers.
PVP servers are servers where you are allowed to fight with other players.
And PVE servers are such servers where you can only fight against mobs (Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders)
Also, the main division of servers is their version. Servers are divided into versions related to minecraft versions.
