Minecraft is not just a video game, it’s an institution these days, and after setting the gaming world on fire on the PC, an Xbox 360 edition was released. Now, or rather soon, a PS3 release isn’t far off.
Minecraft, a sandbox indie game originally created by Swedish programmer Markus “Notch” Persson and later developed and published by Mojang, sees the creative and building aspects of Minecraft allowing players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, gathering resources, crafting, and combat.
Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: survival, which requires players to acquire resources and maintain their health and hunger; and creative, where players have an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no health or hunger. A third gameplay mode named hardcore is the same as survival, differing only in difficulty; it is set to the most difficult setting and respawning is disabled, forcing players to delete their worlds upon death.
