Minecraft is a prοcedurally generated vοxel game with a huge emphasis on building, and crafting things. You can brave the endless nights in a quest to fight the Ender Dragοn, or you can chill out in Creative Mοde and build whatever u want.
I've been playing Minecraft ever since it was in Alpha. I used to play οnline but cucks happened.
Anyway:
The gοοd:
- Hundreds of blοcks, items and devices to chοοse from and build with
- Redstοne, which is a conductive mineral, allows you to make fully functional powered devices, from simple traps that protect your base to even fully-operational 8-bit computers (I'm serious.)
- Lots of ways to build and it never stops with things like Villagers, who add life to your Minecraft world.
- People make mods for the game that add new stuff, including things like more blocks, weapons and items, more creatures and villagers, one mob turns villagers into people that actually do things like work and defend the village, and you can hire them to do things for you.
- Each new save file generates a new world never seen before, or you can go into the seed editor and enter a selection of numbers or words to generate a world based on them; try different phrases!
- Downloadable skins let you customize the way your character looks, and you can make your own using Paint
- The fun doesn't stop with online multiplayer; find the IP address to someone's server and battle it out or build together
The BAD:
- It's easy to run out of ideas if you play for too long
- Creepers sometimes sneak up on you and blow you up, destroy parts of your base, etc.
- The game's engine is a little unstable, and with too many mods or a slow computer, can crash a lot, if not lag to infinity.
- There is a small chance that generating a random world causes the algorithm to bug out and go crazy, and put you in a world that changes every millisecond of real time.
- There is another small chance that even on good computers, you get the Infinite Lag Spike of Death, which is when Minecraft's priority doesn't know what to do, so it plays for a minute, stops, then plays, and stops and so on, making your game unplayable.
- If playing in multiplayer, some people will find their way to you and ruin the fun by trolling you with lava buckets, destroying your builds, killing you, or etc. and the server mods are not always agreeable to help you out, a lot of them are powermongers who only want to be powerful. Woe betide you if you happen upon a godmodder.
- Installing two mods that conflict with each other is the equivalent of microwaving kerosene covered in tinfoil
- Installing some mods can be tricky; most of them just require an add-on called Forge, but others need their own engine, and some require modifying some game files.
The UGLY:
- Don't bother with "freedom" servers. These are servers that have absolutely zero rules; I'm not joking. There are server moderators and admins that monitor the place, but they're only there to keep the server up. If a griefer or a troll finds you, run, kill or die. In these servers, it's every man for himself. Either dig a cavern somewhere or cover yourself in bedrock.
- Griefers can ruin your day with vanilla Minecraft alone, but 9 times out of 10 they'll use a hacked client that grants them unfair abilities like high jumping, spider climbing, flying, access to any item, including splash potions that infinitely give you Nausea (the screen swirls around), Wither (poison but faster) or just kill you outright. They tend to cloak themselves using invisibility potions.
- Make the wrong edit to one of the game's files and you can render the whole game unusable, prompting a re-download.
- The #1 rule of Minecraft: Never dig straight down or up. There's always a chance that there's lava below you or gravel/sand above you.
Besides the bad and ugly, it's a great game. It almost seems like it was made for incels
