Everything from enormous fortresses and winding underground labyrinths to life-scale models of the starship Enterprise and even fully-functioning theme parks have been created in Minecraft. We’ve seen exactly what people can do when there are no reins or arbitrary bounds to hold players backs. A pickaxe and a hatchet will help you collect resources faster, a shovel will let you explore the mysterious network of underground caverns below. Collect materials from the world around you then put them together to craft raw goods into useful tools. Minecraft’s winning formula is quite simple, really: drop players at the center of a massive open world with nothing but the shirt on their back and let them do whatever they want, however they want. Minecraft is more than just a game, it’s a cultural phenomenon that has taken the world by storm.
