So what is minecraft anyway?

Hi.

I hear stuff about minecraft quite a lot now, so what is it?
Is it a bit like roblox, except the character textures look blurry and awful?
Is it about mining?
Is it about both of the above?

Re: So what is minecraft anyway?

It's a 3D block building game played in 1st or 3rd person (press F5 to change views). In the paid version, you have health, and can craft tools to harvest stuff. Multiplayer survival (paid version) is out, but still in testing (enemies don't work well yet). Enemies include harmless zombies, exploding pigs, giant spiders, skeletons, skeletons riding spiders and slimes. Also there are friendly animals such as cows (kill for leather for weak armor), pigs (kill for meat for health), sheep (punch for wool, kill to not be annoyed by the "baaa") and chickens (kill for feathers for arrows. Tools have tiers, I'll leave you to figure out the recipes. Biomes are currently being made (floating islands, winter, desert, forest etc.).
NOTE: press I to open inventory.
The community can be weird at times, nice at others. The forums are now filled with spam as newbies do not use the search feature before posting. Or post suggestions in the right places.
If you're playing the free version (which is currently down ATM), try theone's servers (google it). They're modded from the original, and include zombie tag, and TNT wars (cannons, airstrikes, rocket launchers and more!).
Try not to use scratcher's servers (made for scratch, just because one of us is there doesn't mean it's bad), they generally go down a lot and the host will quit (RHY, if you are reading this could you help me with collision issues and also post the countries map).
TL;DR: You fight exploding fungi pigs.

Roblox has nothing on MC
Roblox is garbage compared to MC

Re: So what is minecraft anyway?

Naa, sounds worse than roblox anyway.
And looking at screenshots, the character textures look bad.
