What is MineCraft?

"Minecraft is a sandbox construction game created by Markus Persson and is currently in pre release alpha. Minecraft development started around the 10th of May 2009, pre-orders for the full game started being accepted on the 13th of June.

Poll won't let you vote 'No, I do not know what MineCraft is' without choosing options in the other two questions that do not apply to someone who hasn't heard of it.

More info would be fantastic

If anyone enjoys exploring this is THE game, no other comes close to this one, in my experience this is the best sandbox game I've played.

It may look outdated, but its blockiness really helps to understand it faster and better and start experiencing the wonders of digging, discovering new caves, new lava stream, subterraneal rivers, draining bits of sea to discover it depths.

There's also a full-fledged crafting system and monsters that make the experience quite tough in the dark, but they aren't as important to me as the plain digging, at least to me.

Mind you, this game is not for everybody, and many people don't like it, because it doesn't have explicit objectives and think it's simple and outdated. It's biggest drawback is its blackbox-type crafting system, I used a guide to overcome it and make it more enjoyable.

Can't finish the poll.. yes I know what it is, but no I haven't tried it. So yeah, the poll is incomplete.

[Spookie]

Heard about it? Aye over at GAF. Played it? Nope, doesn't interest me. Bat **** nuts idea though credit to the maker.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

I have to wonder why 4 people play the game and don't enjoy it, Why play at all then?

[Pupik]

Bought the alpha after watching some let's play minecraft videos on youtube (by this and this guy) and after a few, got really bored of the game. Had more fun watching it being played, than play it myself.

Never heard of it yet I can't vote no. Silly poll

[ramsy66]

very awesome game, highly addictive! i'm looking forward to the full version and very glad i spent the money now and got a discount. :)

definitely does need more items, i'd say that's the only problem but i'm sure plenty of stuff will be added.

[Spookie]

Scratch what I said. Mate convinced me to buy it. :(

Edit: This game is ****ing awesome. :(

I've had it about two days.

I'm still uploading more videos, but this shows you the intro parts of my progress.

[Spookie]

Call that a house? :D

That's tiny by most standards too. :(

My biggest issue at the moment is spawns though. Creepers poping inside my house (those exploding pricks **** me up each time) and I've got more animals inside my house than a zoo. :/

Is that sheep always respawns there? Would be nice to find some wool every morning by that twoer, knowing the sheep is stupid enough to jump from it.

Poll does not allow me to say that I haven't heard of it and don't play it.

I've seen a couple of things spawn there. It appears the game engine, at the moment, doesn't check elevation before spawning.

I've uploaded part 2, and Part 3 of my minecraft adventure is uploading right now...

Part 4, 5 and 6, the final part, are where it starts to get good though.

I've seen this game before.. but have never messed with it, maybe I will give it a shot.
