Minecraft

Do you want to learn about one of the most well known sandbox games?  A sandbox game is a game where you can do almost anything you want to without any rules.  In this sandbox game, you can build anything you want like tree houses, temples, and hotels.  In fact, I have built a hotel myself.  This game is called Minecraft, and I will share facts about the game with  you.

Every day about 998,000 people play Minecraft!  People play from all over the world.  Minecraft is a game for all ages and all types of people.  This game is so fun because you can do and build anything you want.  You do not have to listen to rules or follow instructions.  This game provides a lot of freedom to the player.  

There are two versions of Minecraft.  The first is “creative” and the second is “survival.”  When playing the creative mode players have unlimited blocks and can build anything they want.  Players can also fly in the creative mode.  Conversely, playing in survival mode the player does not have unlimited blocks, you have to chop down trees, break grass to find seeds and dirt, and create tools like a pickaxe to mine iron and stone.  In survival mode there are zombies, creepers, skeletons, and spiders.  These are the monsters that the player has to slay so they can survive. Players can also kill animals to get meat to eat.  When playing in creative mode players use their creativity and imagination to make huge creations.  When playing in survival mode players need to make strategic choices so that they can survive.

Markus Persson made Minecraft.  Markus Persson created Minecraft when he was 30 years old.   Markus was born June 1, 1979 and is 37 years old as of today.  Markus is Swedish and began programing when he was 18.  Markus Persson made Minecraft which is the category with the Kindle Fire, Minecraft PC which is the category with the computer, and the Minecraft gaming console which is the category with the X-Box.  Minecraft PC is the oldest version of Minecraft.  The newest update is update 9.1 on PC.  In 9.1 there are shields, beetroot soup, a potion called dragon’s breath, shulker which turns into chorus fruit, and elitha so you can fly.  Markus Persson also made Metagun, Minigun, and Minecraft.

I hope you learned something about Minecraft.  Hopefully you will be excited and play this sandbox game today!
