It was created as an indie title and released publicly in 2009, Minecraft has grown into a massive phenomenon. Markus 'Notch" Persson, the creator of Minecraft, published it through Mojang. He certainly wasn't prepared for the rapid success it has achieved. This sandbox game and construction game with large pixels has sold thousands of copies around the world. Just another blog Microsoft paid more than 2 billion dollars for the rights to it.
With the backing of a huge company and a huge corporation, the game is performing at its peak (although who knows if it might die of its own success, that wouldn't be the first case) and has been bolstered in different aspects. It's available on Windows, Xbox, Windows, PS4, Xbox and iPhone in APK format (the mobile version is called Pocket Edition or PE) and on Mac with the version we're going to discuss today.
Although the truth is that there aren't many differences between this Minecraft for Mac and the PC version. You can create worlds randomly and build any type of structure from a rusty building to a palace that could make you millionaire. It is enough to aware of some things: if one learns how to combine and design your tools and resources, your world will open up to endless possibilities.
Two game modes and an unlimited game play
You have two game modes that you can maximize the use of the game's features. In which you can choose the difficulty of the game you'll be playing in, from the most peaceful to the most violent.
Creative mode: play with unlimited resources in which you can explore everything that surrounds you and building amazing structures. Survival mode: you'll be facing with creatures and dangers that will make you build shelters, armors, and weapons. Extreme mode: This mode is identical to survival mode, but it's more difficult as the world will disappear when the player dies. Spectator mode: you can fly around and observe the game, but not interact with it, either from your own perspective or from the perspective of a different player or other creature. Adventure mode: For players who create maps for users that want to play solo or online.
Both modes let you place and destroy blocks. You can also play in third person. The blocks are various elements of nature, such as stones, minerals, wood or earth. They are still in their original form, which is why players can create them. This allows you to mix them together to create other tools that can help you create more complex structures and tools.
As we mentioned, the game is generated randomly by an algorithm. This allows it to be endless and no two worlds will be identical. This means that you can experience jungles, deserts, tundra plains, oceans, plains mountains... and yes, there are nights and life cycles. Twenty minutes of gameplay is the equivalent of a day.
Create a virtual environment without limitations. Different game modes. Combine different game modes: action, construction, adventures... - Explore the world created by the game with total freedom. Create your own world with the editor. - Play in the online multiplayer mode in real-time. You can customize the game with mods and skins.
The game's versatility is what makes it so well-liked. It allows you to customize different aspects using skins and mods that define your character or modify the environment.
