Minecraft – Not Just For Kids
Inspired by my son and daughter, I thought this post would be appropriate. They’re the biggest Minecraft fans that I know and inspired me to not only write about the game but start playing too. I am not as good as they are, but it’s great learning for children and adults alike.
Minecraft
Minecraft is a popular game that allows players to build structures using textured cubes in a 3D-generated world. In addition to building, players can also explore, gather resources, craft items, and engage in combat. In Survival mode, players must gather resources to create the world and maintain their health. In Creative mode, players have unlimited resources and the ability to fly. There’s also an Adventure mode where players can play custom maps created by others, and a Spectator mode where players can fly and move through blocks, but cannot place or destroy them.
Survival Mode
They have both tried to get me to play in this mode, but I just haven’t got the hang of it yet. In this mode, players gather natural resources (such as wood and stone) found in the environment to craft certain blocks and items.
Creative Mode
In creative mode, players have access to all of the resources and items in the game through the inventory menu and can place or remove them instantly—players, who can fly freely around the game world.
Besides the main version, Minecraft Classic and Minecraft 4k for the PC are also available.
Minecraft: Education Edition
The Education Edition gives teachers the tools they need to use every day.
There are a few differences between Minecraft and MinecraftEDU. The main concept is the same, an open sandbox world. and MinecraftEDU will be able to retain characteristics. Finally, the last large difference is that students can take in-game photos. These online notebooks will be sharable with other students.
My favorite mode is creative so stay tuned as I am sure there will be more great construction coming soon.
