Minecraft

I got a moment to myself, so I decided to go ahead and upload something.







Minecraft became an instant hit when it was released to the masses in 2009, and since then has sold over 6 million copies. Although not officially released until 2011, Mojang allowed people to pay a reduced price to help test the game in Alpha and Beta. The gameplay is simple and addicting, putting players into a block shaped world, and arming them with no knowledge, and no tools, you must make, and learn everything for yourself (or look it up online). There are 3 different modes to the game, Creative, Survival, and Hardcore.

Yes, I built that. I actually liked the aesthetic of the aqueduct under the bridge.

Creative lets you use anything in the game without actually finding it, to let you create anything you can imagine. Survival is the normal game mode where you must make, and find everything that you are going to use. Hardcore is a lot like survival but it is locked onto the hardest difficulty, and you if you die it's all over.

This is probably the most impressive thing I have built.

I have spent probably around 200 hours playing in both my own single player worlds, and on a server with friends. We have made some pretty impressive stuff and had hours and hours of fun creating a blocky world of our own.
