Minecraft

Minecraft is a game that teaches you about wildlife survival, but it is very addictive, to warn you. The game has many items that can help you beat the game. Minecraft is a game made by notch. Some blocks are naturally spawned and some not. Here is how to download the game: First, you go to the website and log in using your email address and your password. I'm sorry if you do not have one. After you finish logging in, click the download button and check your downloads on your computer. And then click open and bingo! You have the game. When you go to the game menu, there are two modes of playing. One is single player, which means you play by yourself. And multiplayer, which means you can play with others. If you access singleplayer, you'll see you have no worlds yet. Anyway, when you spawn in a new world, you should start gathering wood, which then can make wooden planks. This is the crafting recipe:
 You will get 4 planks which is enough to make a crafting table. This block's purpose is to make all sorts of items like tools and its only difference is that it has 9 crafting slots and your own crafting area in your inventory has only 4 slots for crafting. Now, get some wood and put 2 wood planks on top of each other to make 4 sticks. Sticks are mainly used for making tools and weapons. Your first set of tools are wooden tools. With the pickaxe, mine 3 blocks of stone to get cobblestone to make stone tools with higher durability. Strange how regular stone can't make stone tools! Anyway, a trick to make tools repair again is crafting 2 of a same tool together. Be warned that this method can remove enchantments on it, so if your tool is enchanted and almost broken, DO NOT USE CRAFTING REPAIRS! Instead, use the anvil. The total objects used to make tools or armor are: Iron, wood, stone, diamond, gold, thats all. There also is chain mail, the one armor that cannot be crafted. You know, its pretty ugly. And also there is emerald, used only for blocks and trading with villagers. What the difference of these tools are that they have different durability numbers, with diamond being the highest. And the tools can  mine certain ore and other stuff. And with a block called obsidian being very hard to break, so hard that it can only be mined with a diamond pickaxe. And even that takes long to break. But obsidian can be useful for crafting the ender chest and enchantment table. And can make the nether portal, a ticket to hell. Interesting fact: obsidian is very common in the end because it is sort of black and purple. Same thing to bedrock, the most indestructible block that is at the end of the world.  Now multiplayer mode is a place where you have to type in a server address and bingo! You are in a multiplayer world. Unlike singleplayer mode, multiplayer has rules! Like you can't break blocks, there are minigames, no cheating  and if you pause, the characters still are moving! And a last thing about minecraft are skins. My skin right now is a Halo, and  minecraft skins can be in skindex, nova skin editor, skin craft, many places! In minecraft pocket edition, (A version of minecraft played on iPhone or iPad). You are just stuck with boring 'ol' Steve, the name of your default skin. But in Xbox, you can have 8 default skins or get some at the minecraft store! Maps and mods are also another important part of minecraft. Maps are games that can be games like parkour mostly. And mods, they install new mobs, new blocks, and even new weapons stronger than a diamond sword!!!!!!! Yes, minecraft is a very awesome game and is so different from every single other one you have played!
