Here you are free to wander around the Minecraft world to your heart’s content – you won’t get too hungry and even though there are hostile creatures, they can not harm you. If you’d rather get on with building your kingdom, you can play the game in the Creative mode. You also have a hunger bar, so you have to find food to eat to keep this at a good level. A bad encounter with any of these will deplete your health bar. There are dangers lurking in Survival, such as monsters, lava and exploding cacti. The game can be played in two different modes – Survival and Creative. The blocks don’t just appear to you though, you have to invest a little time in gathering them and digging them up. You begin the game on a desert island, then use the blocks to build a shed, a house, a palace – anything you can imagine. Minecraft is a game in which you use building blocks to construct the world around you.
