Later, you combine your game-given goods into even more complicated, personal creations like electrical systems, railroads, and working calculators. When enough material goods and resources are stockpiled, human aspiration kicks in, and you begin to envision and build a vast palace or city to live in-- either or alone or with your pals if you’re playing multiplayer. Given enough time, talent and dedication, anything can be created in Minecraft, from full-size replicas of Star Trek ships to working computers. Minecraft really rewards creativity. While many gamers might want to create a medieval style houses, Minecraft’s tools proved sufficient for me to build a mid-century, Eames style home to live in instead.
Now that you understand how to get by in the world, you can join a multiplayer server and hang out with other people. Live in a strictly role-playing world, help on a massive building project, build traps to murder the unsuspecting, and basically join a gaming community. While the multiplayer servers aren’t a game per se, players have taken it upon themselves to create puzzle rooms, challenges, and other game-like delights. How much you like multiplayer ultimately depends on your tolerance for other people.
A brief note about game documentation and game community: Minecraft contains no in-game tutorials or help at all. While the huge and loyal fan community has built extensive wikis and guides that cover everything in the game, (and anything its creator, Notch says), in-game, there’s nothing. It’s all but unplayable without online help, but it can be very hard to look for help online without seeing spoilers, and discovering things is the point of the whole thing. A little gentle, in-game guidance could help.
