Minecraft is a wonderful sandbox world made up of nothing but cubes. It is a world of dirt cubes, rock cubes, even trees made of cubes. The player has only one objective… Mine. Whatever the player decides to do, build, destroy, or explore, the player must mine and collect the cubes to craft their world and get ready for nightfall. Because during the night, the monsters come out, the wonderful world of Minecraft becomes not so wonderful. Zombies, Skeletons, and the dreaded Creeper wait to ruin the fun you have had.
The mechanics of crafting are truly innovative. Crafting an object requires prior knowledge of what you can craft. There are nine slots in the crafting table in which you can place items in a certain order. For example, in order to create an iron sword, you need 1 stick and 2 iron bars in a vertical pattern. However, reverse the order and put in 2 sticks and 1 iron bar, and it will produce an iron shovel. The crafting items are created in a manner one would think to create them. It requires some thought to create something, and when you figure it out, it is gratifying.
Today I played minecraft for 3 hours. I spent an hour digging a mineshaft for which to mine diamonds, a most precious resource. I had gotten very good at mining diamonds, you just have to know where to look. Most diamonds lie in levels 11 through 16. Using a certain digging pattern, I was able to find around 15 diamonds within an hour. However I had forgotten to follow the two rules of a diamond mine, bring a bucket of water, and do not dig on level 10. Misplacing what level was what, I dug over level 10 and plunged into a fiery abyss. By the time I got out of the lava pool, it was too late, for I was on fire. And with no bucket of water to put out the flames, I burned to death. Let this be a cautionary tale, today I wasted three hours playing Minecraft. And that was exactly what it was, a waste.
