Però, què és MINECRAFT?

 Minecraft is a sandbox indie game, an open world game that has no specific goals for the player to accomplish, allowing players a large amount of freedom in choosing how to play the game.

SANDBOX / OPEN WORLD / VOXELS / PROCEDURALLY GENERATION

Minecraft’s universe is procedurally generated, meaning that an algorithm places each asset—every hill, mountain, cave, river, sheep, and so on—in a unique arrangement every time a new game is loaded, so that no two players’ worlds are exactly alike. Markus Persson, the game’s creator, planned for these worlds to be infinitely large: if a player kept walking in a single direction, the game would create more of the world in front of him, like an engineer forever laying track for an advancing train.

NO SPECIFIC GOALS

no given direction to move in, no obstacles to climb over nor enemies to defeat. The player receives no instructions whatsoever.

No goals?

There are no set goals in the basic game (often called vanilla Minecraft). Players can become explorers, miners, farmers, builders or, most likely, a combination of all of these. There are no rules, guidelines or even directions, not even a simple tutorial – it truly is open to the player’s imagination.

BUT I NEED A SPECIFIC GOAL!

UNA PETITA REFLEXIó ABANS DE JUGAR

Last weekend, my sister saw Luca on his computer with what appeared to be Minecraft on the screen. “Luca, I told you, you can’t play Minecraft anymore,” she said.

“I’m not playing Minecraft, mama,” he replied. “I’m watching videos on YouTube of other people playing Minecraft.”
