Minecraft beats Fortnite? You got to be kidding! Why don’t you crank the battle bus and get goated on the sticks and turtling!

genuinely one of the most important games ever made.

Probably the best idea anyone has ever had for a game. What characterizes Minecraft and allowed it to gain success was not that it was a limitless sandbox, but the fact it gamified already existing sandbox elements into something with legitimate structure.

Sandboxes had existed for years by the time of the devious little block game's inception, but Minecraft did it differently. Truth is, what makes Minecraft really work is the fact it's not just a sandbox. You don't start off as a god here, you become a god. Your own ability to work defines what you get out of it, and the game is actively prepared to throw hurdles at you while trying to get there. It's not just survival mechanics; Minecraft has a very cohesive vision of what construction is "for." Other entities in the world can interact with the world in similar manners to you, and your way of dealing with them could be swinging a sword, but it could also be machinery designed to trap and farm them. You could simply build a tower, and that's your job done, but it's the push to starting that effort that makes it feel like something more than other sandbox games. Everything here reinforces that, most prominently the melancholy yet encouraging music, which could have had absolutely any kind of style to fit any sort of element of the games amalgamation of genres and concepts; but instead of being action-packed adventure music, or anything fitting to the semi-fantasy setting, we got beautiful, relaxing and thought-provoking piano/ambient pieces which contend for the best music of any video game ever made to me.

There's a very classical computer game mentality to all this. Tons of freedom, tons of mechanical resistance, and everything coming together to form a sort-of-simulation sort-of-roguelike sort-of-tower-defense sort-of-sandbox hybrid that twists tongues to describe in concept but is just so elegant and comprehensible to see in motion. It may have nabbed a thing or two from Infiniminer's presentation, but Minecraft's sheer understanding of the potential of blocks elevates it to greater heights than recognizable. The game deserved its success, and the ultimate encapsulation of its best quality to me is that the most iconic element of the game about building, is an enemy that is willing to throw away all your hard work and blow it all up. Unique, and not once will we see it be truly replicated in a way that succeeds it.

I did acid one time with a friend and I got bored and hopped on this world that my friend hosted and my friend Christian told me to hop on vc and then I had the craziest urge to just burn stuff with flint and steel and I planted my own little island filled with trees and burned it all down and i went back to my place and my friend was checking it out and I wanted to troll a bit by setting my house on fire and quickly putting it out but the fire spread IMMEDIATELY and my friend was in absolute disbelief that i burned my house down and i was laughing hysterically about it and as soon as it was completely gone I went on a burning things rampage and my friend still mouth agape in call
I give it a yeah out of ten

Anybody else remember Mineplex? That was my second home as a kid.

I'd give anything to play One in the Quiver again. Or to suck ass at Survival Games.


One of my favourite games of all time. you can spend hours and hours just being completely creative making what ever you want whenever you want, you can play and interact with your friends and make memories unlike any other game.

Caving into my yearly Minecraft urge

really bloated after a certain point and the progression is really not that good but thankfully pretty much every old version is accessible in the launcher and just as fun as they were years ago. 1.7.3 might be a little overhyped though, the adventure update isn't that bad

It's incredible what the original Minecraft accomplished, and continues to accomplish now. This brought my friends and I much closer in high school, and I'll be forever grateful for that.

O que dizer de um dos jogos mais importantes já criados?

Eu jogo Minecraft praticamente a minha vida inteira, foi um dos jogos mais importantes pra mim durante a infância, e mesmo hoje em dia eu consigo me divertir como se eu fosse aquela criança do passado, que independente do problemas que eu passei a ter ao longo da minha vida só se importa em fazer uma casinha bonita, ou que sente aquela felicidade única ao encontrar o primeiro diamante.

Retornar para Minecraft depois de tanto tempo com certeza fui uma das melhoras experiências que tive com jogos até agora em 2024, eu finalmente estou começando a aprender sobre todo o imenso conteúdo novo que tem jogo, e além disso eu enfim terminei o jogo em um mundo completamente Survival pela primeira vez.

Sobre o jogo, eu acho que não é mistério para ninguém como ele funciona né? A minha parte favorita sem dúvidas é a liberdade que o jogo te oferece para explorar a sua criatividade da maneira que você bem entender, algo que para mim é importantíssimo nesse mundo dos jogos.

Apesar de ser uma pessoa que sempre vai preferir Terraria, é impossível não reconhecer a importância de Minecraft não só na minha vida, como para a indústria de jogos no geral, e eu tenho certeza que vai ser um jogo que eu vou estar jogando pelo resto da minha vida possivelmente inteira.

I HATE REDDIT I HATE REDDIT I HATE REDDIT I HATE REDDIT I HATE REDDIT I HATE REDDIT

i keep getting blown up by these green cocks and its pissing me off. hope they remove this bug.

Endless hours of fun doing whatever the imagination allows.

I've spent years going back and forth into Minecraft, and every time I come back it's as if I'm playing the game for the first time. Of course, nothing beats the REAL first time you're plopped in a randomly-generated world and you have to punch a tree, to make a shovel, to build a hole, to build your first shelter. Nothing compares.

And yet, the feeling of wonder remains no matter how long it's been. I've built entire kingdoms with friends; transportation networks leading to different "countries;" even the occasional boobytrap hidden behind a chair that blows everything up.

Even after all this time, this game is a 5/5 for me. And, I expect it always will be.

When they add the sex update I’ll give 5 stars.
I know judging people based on one thing isn’t cool, but if you haven’t played minecraft I no longer associate with you.
Minecraft with the boys was where it was at.
Says a lot this game has such a high score considering it has no story, but this is the ultimate sandbox game to play with friends. Server games are also peak.

it's not as if this game needs any kind of explanation. minecraft has been a part of so many moments in my life that i simply can't imagine what i would be without it. all the lan parties on wednesdays when i'd get out of school early, all the thrilling hunger games matches using skype, all the hamachi servers, and all the worlds that lasted two weeks but were incredibly funny. although i get tired of it easily these days, i still have a lot of fun playing it with my girlfriend.

Music highlight. Estimated read time: 3-4 minutes.

Video games aren't fun anymore.

Minecraft was at its best in whichever version came after the first one I played, because that was my First Update and was new and exciting to me.

I will talk about the game peaking in its beta while also expressing pure insipidity as soon as the ender dragon is found and/or killed, despite the fact that this did not exist during the supposed Golden Age of Minecraft.

Microsoft ruined Minecraft by making it accessible across 8 distinct platforms and keeping the simpler combat that I insist is better than

Mojang, who ruined Minecraft with the Beta 1.3 with the Beta 1.4 with the Beta 1.8 with the Release 1.0 with the Release 1.3 with the Release 1.5 with the Release 1.6 with the Release 1.9 update. Oh, the train stopped? Just kidding, with the Release 1.13 with the Release 1.14 with the Release 1.16 with the Release 1.17 with the Release 1.18 with the Release 1.19 with the Release 1.20 update. Yes, every single one of these updates spread across the last literal decade individually ruined Minecraft. Oh sorry, I forgot to start the timeline at Infdev

Yes, I can list at least one reason for every update charted out above. I will use however much or however little knowledge I have of Minecraft to relentlessly batter these algorithm-oriented talking points inside my head as I play, so I can reinforce the growing status quo to garner clicks and views all built around a narrative of disinterest, creative bankruptcy and an inability to keep the intrinsic flame alight.

A sandbox, that contains things I am not forced to engage with, but will make it my problem despite the game letting me choose my version to play on. They made the game too easy, they made the game too hard. They made the game too directed, they made the game too wide. They changed too much, they changed too little. Vanilla is boring, modders can do better. Mods are too different, I prefer Vanilla.

Minecraft 45 Bugs Compilation is ruining minecraft, how haven't Mojang fixed this yet? Minecraft 45 Bugs Compilation (2012) is funny, can't wait to try this on my creative world. Minecraft was better when it was simpler and we'd make 8-bit calculators out of only redstone and torches.

Minecraft grew up, I did not. I grew up, Minecraft did not.

...

How do I live like this? I don't. Imagine being this miserable. I love Minecraft just as much today as I did over a decade ago. Dipped my feet into mods, played dozens of adventure maps, was there at the twin-birth of Battle Royale (Survival Games in MC + the mod for Arma II) and here to see the entirety of Shrek at 720p encoded as block placements in-game.

"Video games aren't fun anymore." get real. Love the gang that plays Minecraft with me who still have a sense of humor, imagination and intrinsic motivation to simply build together.

Good night.

Hands down I think I might have 1000 hours in this game. Covid-19 was just a minecraft blur.

Uma obra prima! , jogo desde 2016 e mesmo assim ainda me divirto muito com esse jogo ! É incrível ver como um jogo consegue durar tanto tempo e ter infinitas possibilidades.

Minecraft é um jogo que marcou minha vida de uma forma tão imensurável que eu fui capaz de fazer amizades fortíssimas que mantenho contato até hoje. Além disso, foi um grande salvador na época de pandemia que eu e amigos passamos centenas de horas em um mundo que criamos. Chegamos até conseguir fazer um beacon de netherite na época.

Simplesmente é tão genial que quebrou barreiras do que é um game de sobrevivência. Na verdade, Minecraft é muito mais que apenas um jogo. Ele é uma forma de entretenimento em massa, um verdadeiro sandbox! Tantas vidas de pessoas mudaram e chegaram até ganhar um emprego por causa desse jogo. Consigo recordar de vários momentos de risadas e divertimento genuíno que tive enquanto jogava.

Por mais que não goste muito da forma que a Mojang o trate e a direção que está tomando recentemente com suas polemicas, Minecraft merece o total respeito por ser uma das masterpieces contemporâneas e ter marcado minha infância. Realmente é uma experiência que nenhuma outra mídia será capaz de transmitir.

Can I even rate this any lower? I've seen people complain about the new additions, but honestly that's just the course of nature. People hate change.
Minecraft is an unavoidable addition to any game collection. It's the most popular game. Of course it's enjoyable.
I've spent hours and hours playing, vanilla, modded, shaders on, shaders off, servers, and alone. All that. I tend to prefer to play modded but even then I can always return to vanilla and it never feels stale.
I remember my first time playing Minecraft even. On my mother's iPad of all things. Tilling the ground for seeds, building my house against the world border, building pixel art ufs I found on Google images over and over. Dirt huts galore. Truly a great game. There's not really anything to say.

Minecraft: has a novel lil fantasy world, will have a better and better fantasy world as they refine and add to it, but doesnt have a satisfying combat component and probably wont ever have one. To me a game cant have building alone, I need to be using it for something and the "adventure" part just isnt coming into its own fast enough.

I'm never getting this $30 back

This game is 95% carried by the community but thank god it is. I don't think there's a game that has given me more fun over the past 10 years of my life than Minecraft.

So, the main problem with Minecraft's singleplayer is a general lack of things to do. Once you've played it enough you either start minmaxxing in your survival world or start building aimlessly (and you can get to this part really damn fast if you're experienced enough). The 'exploration' part of Minecraft has been quite underutilized as a result because the Overworld does just feel like a bunch of empty land with not much to do, at least without mods and whatnot.

I wish we got more content in each update, with more reasons to explore. Honestly, the Nether and Cave changes have been really fun and add to the replayability of the game. It does feel a bit more exploration-based, and I think the building is already top-notch as it is in Minecraft. I just wished they could do more.

However, with such an open and creative game, you get some really damn creative people who play it. There are SO MANY THINGS TO DO in Minecraft when taking into account the community. Whether it's mods, or servers, or community events, there's just so many things to enjoy with other people. The survival multiplayer loop also becomes amazing if you have a group of people, culminating in what is pretty much the perfect multiplayer game.

Honestly, if this game didn't get as big as it did, it wouldn't be half as good. However, I'm thankful for the past 10 years this game has granted to me and it's been a wonderful time.

Very fun and replayable survival simulator but updates that have come out in recent years feel pointless and over complicated while features that people have been asking for for years are left ignored.

There is a reason this is the greatest selling game of all time. This is an experience that no one knew they wanted until it arrived and then everyone realized it was what they had been wanting all along. Also a huge accomplishment for such a simple looking game to grow into what it is - gameplay is king, not graphics.

Come on, it's Minecraft. The only limit is your imagination. I grew up with this game and there is so much to it. I like to play the single player mode in a grindy sort of way where I farm to produce resources to build very large structures, which is probably a 3.5 experience. But, playing this game on a server with friends is the pinnacle of multiplayer gaming.


I still occasionally dip into a saved survival mode for a quick nostalgia fest, but after 15 minutes I'm pretty over it. I still love the 2 Player Productions "Minecraft: The Story of Mojang" documentary, if only to shake my head in disbelief at the humble beginnings vs. where the game (and everyone) is now.

This is the quintessential 'I understand why it's important but I don't like it' type of game.

This game thrives on intrinsic motivation, and in terms of goals in the game itself, there are almost none.

To a lot of people, that is a positive.

But it just isn't for me.

I've been playing this game for so many years, it never gets old. This game was my life as a kid. I played almost every version of it, Minecraft PE and the lite version, PS3, PS4, PC and so many mods and modpacks.

"num mundo de blocos faço qualquer criação
onde o unico limite é a imaginação"
