    Genre: Sandbox

    Minecraft is a sandbox game where players explore a world made of blocks, gather resources, craft tools and equipment, and build almost anything they can imagine. Rather than following a fixed progression path or a single objective, players decide what they want to do and how they want to play. In Survival mode, that can mean gathering resources, crafting equipment, building a base, managing food and health, and exploring while dealing with hostile mobs. Creative mode takes a different approach, giving players unlimited resources and the freedom to focus on building and experimentation. The game also goes beyond basic building and survival. With Redstone, players can create switches, doors, automated farms, machines, and other mechanisms. Building, exploration, mining, crafting, survival, and automation can all become the focus of a playthrough, depending on what the player wants to pursue.
