Minecraft


 * Minecraft is a 3D sandbox game that has no specific goals to accomplish, allowing players a large amount of freedom in choosing how to play the game.
 * However, there is an achievement system.
 * In survival mode, players have to gather natural resources such as wood and stone found in the environment in order to craft certain blocks and items.
 * Depending on the difficulty, monsters spawn in darker areas outside a certain radius of the character, requiring players to build a shelter at night.
 * The mode also has a health bar which is depleted by attacks from monsters, falls, drowning, falling into lava, suffocation, starvation, and other events.
 * Players also have a hunger bar, which must be periodically refilled by eating food in-game, except in peaceful difficulty. If the hunger bar is depleted, automatic healing will stop and eventually health will deplete.
 * In creative mode, players have access to all resources and items in the game through the inventory menu, and can place or remove them instantly.
 * The game mode helps players focus on building and creating projects of any size without disturbance.
 * Adventure mode was designed specifically so that players could experience user-crafted custom maps and adventures.
 * Gameplay is similar to survival mode but with various restrictions, which can be applied to the game world by the creator of the map. This forces players to obtain the required items and experience adventures in the way that the map maker intended.
 * Spectator mode allows players to fly through blocks and watch gameplay without directly interacting. Players do not have an inventory, but can teleport to other players and view from the perspective of another player or creature.
 * This game mode can only be accessed within the Java or PC edition.
 * Multiplayer in Minecraft is available through direct game-to-game multiplayer, LAN play, local split screen, and servers (player-hosted and business-hosted). It enables multiple players to interact and communicate with each other on a single world.
 * Minecraft's music and sound effects were produced by German musician Daniel Rosenfeld, better known as C418.
 * Minecraft: Story Mode, an episodic spin-off game developed by Telltale Games in collaboration with Mojang, was announced in December 2014.
 * Minecraft Dungeons is an upcoming dungeon crawler game that was announced as in development at MineCon 2018. Set in the Minecraft universe, the game can be played alone or in a party of up to 4 people.
 * Minecraft Earth is an upcoming augmented reality game that was announced by Microsoft in May 2019. The game will allow players to interact with the world and build Minecraft-style structures and objects that will persist and can be modified by other players.
 * A Lego set based on Minecraft called Lego Minecraft was released on 6 June 2012.
