21 Amazing Minecraft Creations

Note: Linerider was also the alpha version of an indie game. Look what came from that. This game is amazing, no doubt.

Minecraft magnets!

The creativity of Minecraft is undeniable. Mixed with game survival elements, it’s a nice concoction for a great game.

What’s the point of this game besides being virtual Lego? Someone enlighten me… but then again, I didn’t like Spore either…

There should be a separate list showing just really well made Minecraft videos such as:

I think you’re forgetting one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMFhLM1Ek2Y

Tried it all you had to do is place blocks to make stuff so as to brag to your friends.
No thanks. I know 3D animation I can easily make 10x better looking and higher quality architecture and objects within minutes. Why waste hours simply trying to place a block? Some people it seems like to do things hard way and apparently like to pay for it. Now I know why America. and Europe are on decline….

whoa! shit.

I think it’s funny how opposed you are to the game but yet take time to leave such a closed minded comment. You= fail. Minecraft= win.

For many reasons. For example, many of us have grown up with Lego and enjoy a game with a rich ruleset with some rules bordering on the chaotic and the randomness found in the real world.
You should be more humble and accept that there is a flora of people interested in all kinds of stuff. If you don’t like it, take your ass over to the Blender forums and watch their “fine-culture” :)

Maybe consider these also – both from alpha – no blockspawning.

This is super extremely fucking pathetic of how little of a life u people have. I mean how the fuck can u people take so much time to sit and do nothing but play this game for so god damn fucking long. It hurts to think of how fucking pathetically retarded and lonely you people are get a fucking life or at least take a break from this game. (good job on these there fucking awesome)

How is that close minded?
In my opinion people who act like drones to the hype are close minded.
I am all for creativity and building but why not use a 3d animation tool to create much awesomer stuff and gain an useful skill which can be used on job applications rather than wasting hour to dig a yellow block?
Sorry if I sound rude but reality is cruel and wasting dozens of hours of life to dig a pixellated block in the name of fun and paying for that is absurd.

Get a Life Noobs play some real games like C.O.D or WOW

Lol wow cant beat minecraft nub. have you played it? i used to play wow, same old questing killing, following the rules, in minecraft, you can do what ever you want to… i stopped playing wow to play minecraft… there is nothing more satisfying then creating a huge castle and knowing you had to mine out half a continent to make it… has a sence of accomplishment that getting a new peice of gear on wow cant match… and cod? different type of game entirely, if fps is your interest then play cod, you cant compare it to minecraft

Your comment wasn’t “rude” as such, but you seem to have a very limited understanding of the game. You’ve obviously only tried the free “creative mode”, which isn’t what Minecraft’s about.

“Survival mode” is where people get attached to the game. You see, at night monsters come out, forcing you to take shelter. You start off with nothing but your hands and whatever hole you manage to dig out.

After a while, you create tools and eventually transport to make things easier. And whatever you create should be a result of thriving in your environment, based on what you can find. Think of it as a caveman simulator, except there’s only one caveman and half of your resources are underground.

It’s hard to explain, but it gives a sense of achievement that simply “using Lego to make stuff” doesn’t.

You can probably pirate a fairly updated version by now. ;)

You’ve gotta be a troll, dear Sir. I mean CoD and WoW? (Pfft Warcraft!)

Real men play 3.5-year-old war simulators involving hats and ignore the included shop and trading systems. That’s TF2, in case you’re serious and have been living in Sony’s cave for the last decade.

It’s also a survival game, you can make farmville out of it if you want to… this game is what you want it to be, in the long run.

So from what your saying because the game is pixallated doesnt make it a good game? 3D by definition is the act of putting depth to a graphic the quality of the 3D or the animation is based on the engine used, textures, and amount of pixels. All animation is made up of pixels its just the amount of pixels that define the smoothness. And in your comment “I am all for creativity and building but why not use a 3d animation tool to create much awesomer stuff and gain an useful skill which can be used on job applications rather than wasting hour to dig a yellow block” tell that to the creators of this game who are now multi millionaires all because of a 3D pixellated world that users can make their own. Its not the look of the game that defines it but the content. Some of the richest people in the gaming world started with pixels and crappy animation , you have to start somewhere.

There is much better, almost photo realistic sprite art that ive seen, as opposed to these crap 8-bit easy make sprites.

Same, I stopped wow to play Minecraft here’s some reasons
1. much more cost effective. Minecraft currently is only £13.13p as wow cost about £40-50 just to start playing, and you need to pay monthly subscription.
2.This game is crazily good and its still got a long way to go and more items and ideas yet to finish it. Wow gets boring sitting in Orgrammar or Stormwind all day waiting on a raid.
3.Minecraft is different every time you start a new world, it has a random seed.
4.This game requires the graphics to be like this or else it would look idiotic.
5.Getting gear in Wow only gives a small sense of work as imagine how you would feel when you finished these?
6.In Minecraft you can get mods and texture packs which will change the graphics if you aren’t impressed
Being honest both these games are fantastic but Minecraft wins as it should never get boring.

No ‘Pixellation’ isn’t my main point. Difficulty in creating things in this ‘game’ is what I was trying to highlight. But wouldn’t it be good if your work looked better?
Problem is most people are afraid of animation thinking of it as something very hard but believe me it is way easier and fun than minecraft. Most of the models given above can be created in a good 3d editor in few hours instead of days/months. And you can use that skill to create 3d models/mods for other games too!
I love low res games. I recently finished Gemini Rue which was a 2d game in 640×480 res. Minecraft is one of the more hyped games in market like halo 3. People justify it since they hear it is cool and sank hours and $ in it.
Also, if the creator of the game wasn’t thinking like me and learning something he wouldn’t have made millions. I am amused how people dislike a good and benefiting advice simply because it is different from usual ‘OMG minecraft’ drone posts and tries to inspire you to go ahead and create something tangible.
Do what you want. its your life afterall :)

dude it does take some time out of your life but in no way shall you comapre it to halo. It’s much more intricate, it isn’t overhyped (there’s only one million players compared to halos many million) it’s fun in a different way than most games, it’s not difficult to create things in the game, it’s almost unlimited with possibilites, and you only pay 20$ for years of use. 3d animation does sound cool but this game is easier, funner, costs way less, and many other things

The whole reason I believe Minecraft is such a success is because it’s more of a toolset than a linear, progression based game. There’s a massive world, with simple basic rules that are easily understood. That’s about it, you’re free to use it as you wish. You can go and start working on a project you planned, you can go out and explore the wonders of the uniquely generated world. Most people combine these things and expand on their knowledge while they play, building things as the thoughts come to them.
Now as your whole “why not sculpt something in a 3D program” argument… There’s no investment there. You didn’t have to gather all your polygons by hand, or protect them from exploding enemies. You didn’t have to solve issues that come from unexpected situations, like hitting a dungeon, or a lava stream. Simply the fact that you -achieved- something, something arduously worked on, can give a very great rush, even if you don’t go bragging about it to other people.
And in the end, it’s just a game. It’s designed and intended for people to enjoy. Which plenty of people genuinely seem to, and if you can’t understand that, well, that’s your loss.

first of all, get a life noobs? how many hours of gameplay do you play every day? Are you aware that most people who play “C.O.D.” and “W.O.W.” are extremely addicted to those games? Do you believe that in comparison to someone of your “obvious amazing abilities” as a “C.O.D.” and “W.O.W.” player, to some “lowly minecraft player”, that your better than them at GAMES??? Some games, like first person shooters, and some third person shooters, are pointless, they do nothing, NOTHING, now, with something like minecraft, people can create things, which I’m sure you already know, now, heres something you probably didn’t know, is that in comparison, I would compare those people who create things on Minecraft to many artists today, because some of it is amazing, and some of it is very ingenius ideas, and for yourself, and most of those fanboy types that think that all first person shooters are the “shit” of gaming, (I mean the shit in the good way) I would compare you to a household dog. You have your toy, you play with it, and when your finished, your still happy and satisfied, and you can go back to the same toy again and again and again, and still have the best time in your life. But for other more evolved people, we like to play something that evokes a certain qaulity of human nature every time we play it, whether is be fear, happiness, love, hate etc. The thing that makes minecraft so amazing is that you can make yourself feel, and easily feel all these emotions in the game. I fear the destruction of my home, that I worked to build, I am happy in contructing a tunnel that allows me to travel faster through the map, I love my tamed wolf, and I hate fucking creepers. Yah, I think the main emotion you feel in ALL first-person shooters is well, nothing, unless of course you feel hate, in which case I would seek counseling. SO MANY PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS, that games aren’t just about the game, and how it plays, or how good it looks, (Though those things can be important, but not as important) it’s about the story, and how it makes you feel, and at the end of the day, are you contemplating what it has taught you? I think those are the very best games, at least they are some of the best every created.

p.s. from this whole blurb it would seem from anyones point of view that I have a specific area of gaming that I like, that is not true. I LOVE first-person shooters, I think they’re really great, I have an Xbox 360, I have all the halo games, Call of duty black ops, and modern warfare, and modern warfare two, and I have w.o.w. on my computer (Level 73 Warrior, currently in the northern tip of Kalimdor) and I also have a ps3, a gamecube, a ps2, an xbox, and an N64. But again like I was saying, I usually play those games for just some mindless fun, I don’t really have to think to play them, but I don’t like that a whole lot, because it’s like I’m switching off my brain, and that usually makes me sleepy.

p.s.s. a good example of a first person shooter that takes it a step further is portal. and no, I’m not one of those fanboys whose like, “ooh portal, its soooooooo amazing, gahhhhh” no, I like because again, evoking emotion, human nature, and there are parts that are funny too :)

Should being the operative word :P I just played for half a day, think i’ll go watch some anime now XD

god rely you guys are absesd with games minecraft is smart and all but go out side and lpay some footbal geez

I have had minecraft for 3 days now and i’m fully hooked on it minecraft rocks!

Every where I see same comparison telling people how Minecraft is Cheaper than WOW. Nobody cares about stuff except developer. Minecraft developers post in various threads impostring as other users to tell how great it is and one should buy it. They are worst liars in world.

 I left wow at the end of last winter( i play wow when i cant work my seasonal job). My cousin whom i used to play legos with happened into this game and bought me a copy for my birthday. I started playing it and fell in love. 

he spent $20 on a game i can play for forever, without ever “beating” it. 

i only wish we had found it sooner so i did not spend $16 a month for  4 years on wow, oh and $50 on burning crusade and $50 on lich king oh and $50 on cata. im not poor i make decent money but i asked myself why am i throwing it away on a game? i have spent almost $600 on wow, and nothing to show for it.

Have you considered the possibility that people like to do this because it is a challenge to create such amazing things by “placing blocks,” instead of just having a computer program do it for you? Some people actually enjoy a challenge. As for people who act like drones, it takes creativity and thought to create these things, while all you do is just automatically reject the game concept unthinkingly?

Like I said; some people actually like a challenge.  Using a program to do it for you is lazy and more drone-like than using time and energy to create an amazing world. Plus, nevets wasn’t talking about the graphics quality in his comment.  He was trying to tell you about how the game is fun, not just unthinkingly saying that you’re wrong. using time and energy to create an amazing world.

Ok.  There are several things about this comment of yours. First, go back to the second grade, and learn to spell and create coherent sentences.  Secondly, you used the word “fuck” six times in a four sentence post. It doesn’t make you seem cool, it makes you seem like an idiot.  Thirdly, you said that these people need a life, yet you’re the one who sits at your computer and insults people without any idea of what they do with the rest of their time.  Most of the things on this site only took weeks because the creators only spent a small portion of their time on them. Fourthly, you insult people for making these things, and then you complement them on a job well done? Does it not occur to you that this does not make sense? Plus, while I know I already commented on your grammar, it should have been “Good job on these; they’re f***ing awesome.”

 you can make it whatever you want to. or you can be a hater.

 I do 3d animation too. Truespace and Blender are NOT games. have some fun.

Just saying that my chess board is better
and my character spriting is better

 Hahahaha i find it absolutely hilarious how educated and intelligent minecraft players sound when they talk as opposed to dumb fucks like that kid above :P

 Also wanted to add that this game isnt about graphics or anything of the sort. it goes by pure insane imagination and creativity. The more artistic inspired and creative you are the more fun you’ll be able to squeeze out of minecraft

 Wow you guys are pros at building….. i might have to take some ideas from you 

<3 thecooljbird

 vipshopper.us

 So because you can’t give a better reason besides “versatility” for liking the game people must be haters? Lots of games are versatile and creative. Hater? Really? Is this 2002?

 You’re right. Developing a skill set that you can use to make mods for other games or even your own lo-res games is a waste of time. I’d rather pay to play minecraft and have my creations limited by someone else’s rules rather than my own limits. It is far more challenging to use something with a narrow scope like minecraft instead of other software that can be utilized in more intricate and elegant ways. You sir, are a genius! I wish you were head of minecraft PR.

 There is too much wrong with what you said for me to spend the time correcting it all without you paying me. I will however, offer several points: “your” is possessive, “you’re” is the contraction of you and are, and periods are used to end sentences, not commas! You really should consider changing your handle to “run on sentence”.

wooooooooow. Can we all just agree that everyone gets something different out of every game, be it a FPS, or WoW, or Minecraft. Play what you want to. So don’t waste your life making trolling comments about who is better, and just MOVE ON.

lol hipster troll =]

I love how people here are comparing Minecraft to games that aren’t anything like it.  I mean really, CoD and WoW involve a completely different type of game play.  At least compare it to a similar game.

However, I can only imagine those that are against the game haven’t really taken the time to get into it.  They downloaded, broke a few blocks, built a single story, one room house, and and judged it from that.  Rather than taking the time to gather resources, craft tools to make the job easier, and spend some real time on creating.  They probably didn’t take the time to explore more than 1km in any direction.  If they would have, they would have discovered the seemingly endless world they entered.  You can literally walk in one direction for weeks and never see the same thing or come to the end of the Minecraft world.

But, that would actually take some incentive.  The lazy want everything already built for them so that all they need to do is go in and shoot something.

CoD and WoW are fantastic games.  But so is Minecraft.  You just have to be willing to take more than a few hours chance on a completely different style of game play.

So many haters!
For the record, I do play both WoW -and- Minecraft, and suprise-suprise, I even have plenty of time left over to focus on my family and job, and even other past time activities! Some of us don’t play games to sit there for hours on end, day after day, rotting away in front of the computer (although I doubt most people aim for that regardless), but are capable to log on for an hour here and there a couple of times per week. Even if I’ll happily admit that Minecraft have a tendency to have me linger for longer than intended. So did Lego, back in the day ;)

you are full of shit!

All I have to say is I spent about $100 AUD to play wow for 4′months then I got mine-craft for $20 AUD and never have to pay again. And I love how after spending a 2 months building a 200×200 square city named “New Pillock” and still working on it I’ve had more fun than I ever have playing WOW.

And to all intellectually challenged 7-20 year olds, I’m 16 and understand the difference between a multi-million dollar FPS gaming corporation and a small 3D games indie developer… Seriously there is a difference between Call of Duty and Mine-craft I you can’t see it then god have mercy on your pitiful soul.

-Matthew

And I am not being one sided in this pathetic fight but I also lost my WOW account to hackers and Blizzard actually messages me saying they wanted me to pay for the next month although it was hacked, I’m mean what the fuck… What kind of company does that? And to sum this up, no they wouldn’t refund me and NO they wouldn’t re-activate my account although I had a month of time left and it took 2 months for them to get my account back.

And I don’t hate COD I actually love it but guys stop trolling and comparing an exploration game with swords and bows with an FPS it just makes you look like a dumbass.

I played World of Warcraft for about a week and became addicted, yet I somehow played Minecraft for 10 minutes and was addicted immediately…..the game is not what it looks like it to be, there are endless of possibilities. I am a hardcore gamer, and like to be one continually, but college leaves no room for that, yet in the minecraft world, you can be as hardcore as you want, “On your time, not a stupid guilds” :D. I got minecraft a 4/5 rating, because I couldnt find my 3D glasses…when I do, its a 5 on my scale.

Seriously? You insult, swear at players, and troll, and at the end of it you say, ‘good job on these there fucking awesome’??!! Some people like to play games where intelligence, instead of mindless killing is required. Which is more fun, killing the same, glitchy enemies over and over, or playing on a game where, for $14, you get infinite fun from survival, crafting, mining, farming, caving, and building? Have you even tried Minecraft?!

Sorry man. But theres only a total of 8 developers of Minecraft. Notch starting it all. The other7only started recently (kinda) and i honestly dont think they care about all that too much. Minecraft is passed around by wordof mout enough anyway.

p.s. Sorry for spellin and grammar, my keyboard and computer are acting up.

Amen

Well it was just about 8 in the morning and I hadn’t had any sleep for about 20 hours. I wasn’t really worried about commas and grammar at the time. It is also the internet so I guess I’m mainly saying that you should be glad it was actually legible instead of the usual interweb speak people usually write in. But yes, I am sorry that the grammar is bad. I have never actually visited this site, other than last time to write the comment and to write a reply now. But once again, being extremely tired and pissed at someone makes you write fast and hard and post it without hesitation. I would still ask that you read over it. Exempting the grammatical errors I do believe I had some good points, and I would hate for someone of your intelect to simply look those over because of grammar. (I’m not being sarcastic, I know it looks like that but I’m being searious)

While clearly, you have spent your time away from Minecraft honing your own intelligence, particularly in regard to your mastery of English grammar and spelling. 

tinyurl.com/24n4nqb

did you try the real version? or the browser version, (which is what most of the above posts are from) in the real version you have to survive against a lot of different mosters and it’s actually kind of hard,there are skeletons that shoot arrows, (so you have to use glass or fill up openings with something else), creepers that will run at you (or your house/wall) and explode, giant spiders that will climb up stone walls, (in which case you either need a roof, a lip on your wall, or a sandstone wall (which will barely survive against creepers))it’s actually pretty challenging unless you have ut on easy or peaceful, even easy isn’t that easy, and you can still die on peaceful… and trust me,it isn’t that hard to.

plus, you have to mine for things, and that can be very challenging to do without loose stones falling on you or sand (sometimes) coming down and suffocating you, or accidentally opening a bunch of lava into your mine

oh, and each generated world is 7 times the size of earth (each block being 1 meter)

tinyurl.com/24n4nqb

People do create a lot of insane stuff in minecraft, you get blown away everyday, just look at the  humongous cathedral, thats pretty sick, and requires top skills, but there is many out there, and more is coming everyday, on http://www.minecraftpics.com you can view more creations, some top insane ones, and just other random ones.

Any people who havent played minecraft yet should really try it out, its super addictive, and the game is ofc not all about building super creative stuff.

And that’s why HD texture packs exist. There is one called LB Photo Realism that bumps the game up from 16×16 textures to 256×256 textures! Now, GTFO and STFU

http://torrentfreak.com/

very amazing example :)

how old are you? god learn how to type. although i partly agree with you, most people who play minecraft do have lives. they understand that its just a game. its called entertainment, and most people like it.

Wow. Just. Amazing. You are what? 6? No wait, Oh, you’re 2.

Does baby want a rattle?

Hello, Lady. Look at your games. Now at minecraft. Now back at your games. NOW BACK AT MINECRAFT.
Sadly, you don’t have it.
But if you stopped playing stupid RPG and FPS games, you could buy it.
Look down. Back up.
Where are we? We are in minecraft.
What’s in your hand? I have it. It’s a crafting table. Look again. THE CRAFTING TABLE IS NOW 64 DIAMONDS.
Anything is possible when you play minecraft.
I’m on a pig.

You’re one of those people. Why are you on that side? There’s more over here.

I enjoyed minecraft from the second i punched a tree. The cost of the game was a no brainer when compared to the cost of ANY other game mentioned. Even if you, yourself, arent the creative type, and cant figure out what to build, you can do a quick and easy search for savegames that other people have uploaded and go from there. Or just browse through videos to get ideas. And unlike most other gameplay videos out there, Minecraft videos are quite unique. It can range from ‘typical day’ stuff to ‘here’s what i’ve built’ to ‘how to’ to ‘survival’. Wheres any of that in CoD or WoW? And I am a HUGE fan of both of those games. And look at the actual gamers…..yes, there are griefing dicks on minecraft, but honestly theres nothing that cant be undone or just plain redone. The players of minecraft dont play to ‘be the best’….they play because they get satisfaction out of what they do. Sometimes it feels great to just ‘be’ opposed to being ‘something’.

My main point here is : Hate the haters, dont hate the game. Thank you, Notch!

 Reading through these comments, there are a lot of people criticizing the players saying that they “have no life” or something along those lines. But why should someone criticize someone for playing videogames in their leisure time. To the gamer, that’s what they enjoy, and the person that is insulting them is probably just some jerk-off that revolves his life around tagging photos on facebook and getting drunk at the same pub or club every week. I play WoW, minecraft and occasionally CoD and I’m at university and so are many others that play these games. These are the people that will be making millions and running countries in the future, not the douchebags that go onto these forums to insult them for having no life.

 and sorry I didn’t intend to directly reply to Po Jonez

MINECRAFT SUCKS ALL OF YOU ARE NOOBS PLAY SOME COD OR HALO THERE BETTER THEY HAVE BETAR GRAFICS THEN MINECRAFT YOU JUST PLAY WITH BLOCKS THERES NO POINT TO IT IN COD YOU CAN SHOOT PEOPLE AND HAVE FUN THIS GAME SUCKS I HATE IT ALL OF YOU HAVE NO LIFES

MINECRAFT SUCKS ALL OF YOU ARE NOOBS PLAY SOME COD OR HALO THERE BETTER THEY HAVE BETAR GRAFICS THEN MINECRAFT YOU JUST PLAY WITH BLOCKS THERES NO POINT TO IT IN COD YOU CAN SHOOT PEOPLE AND HAVE FUN THIS GAME SUCKS I HATE IT ALL OF YOU HAVE NO LIFES

But I’ve not been given a convincing reason to go over there!

I’m also not exactly clear on what Farmville is or why so many people like it. All I see are pictures of vegetables shaped into patterns. Umm…okay?!

Okay little kid. I may be thirteen but I think I have better grammar that you do. Its an opinion on what game is better. Stop trolling endlessly. I can guarantee that you have never played minecraft. Also, i don’t see the point of COD and Halo. Yes, I have them. Yes, I play them. No I don’t see why having a better virtual rank when you compare it to your friends makes people so happy. Why are you comparing games that are completely different. In minecraft there is a point. Its to survive monsters and upgrade you place, like a first person Age of Empires.
In Halo and COD, there is no point to either because  having a higher virtual rank and being better at aiming a virtual gun doesn’t make a difference, and you just camp for kills.

You sir, have just been told.

Yawn…

Yawn…

check out my minecraft Death Run map. http://www.planetminecraft.com/project/minecraft-death-run/

Dude Rlly u call C.O.D a real game it’s just hey let’s run and shoot eachother ad don’t tell me it’s anything else because I have played it (I kinda like the gambling type matches on black ops) but it is over publicized and over hyped and does not condone any real thought,skill and most important creativity because painting my gun in red tiger camo is not creative

K Rlly I have a pet peeve with people who say go out side and play sports because sports are just a different form of gaming involving more physical movement. It’s like telling someone to stop playing flower and start playing mortal kombat

Lol dude ur not any cooler for looking at the last 10 posts and contridicting them

serious ;) *

I agree with all of what you said. I feel completely numb after such a long period of playing CoD MW2, when I finish playing, I find it’s a good time to hit the hay (or consume a couple of cans/bottles of V) :)

I am very intrigued by this MineCraft, I look forward to playing it. It’s hard to find a game that let’s you be the “creator” as such. Spore was pretty good in levels of creativity, but became very boring very quick.

I <3 the fact that my son plays minecraft. It's very creative and keeps him off the street. My son has explained a number of things u can do other than just creating stuff and destroying it. I have seen some amazing works of art on several servers as well. Which I am sure took time and skill to create. He plays with a lot of different people and they all work together to create some major crazy stuff. U should check it out before passing on it. U will be amazed by the mass of different people u will interact with. Think of it as a social site with a few extra quirks.
Farmville is not as entertaining u don't get to talk live with people nor create together. Just sayin……………..

I’ve got a few problems with this and your last post, and i’m never going to be back on this page so I really don’t care much if I offend you, granted that’s not my goal…anyway, You are being kind of close minded, you just said that you think it’s a waste to spend time digging to get blocks, well it takes a lot of time to learn how to work in 3d animation programs..if you even attempt to try and argue that point, you’ve got to be mental. and as for people paying for it, I’ve used 3d animation programs, and they’re pretty expensive, this game is like $20 I think, I’m not sure, I’ve had it for a while; but you see what i’m getting at. My last point I’d like to make is why don’t you instead of coming onto threads, bashing a game you probably played for 5 minutes before quitting, bragging about how you can make “awesomer” things in 3d animation, and just making yourself look like a toddler by using words like awesomer and go actually create something. learn a real skill, paint something, draw something, It really doesn’t matter just do something with your life besides troll and brag.

“Sinking money into it”   you’re a moron. it’s $20

Guise omg minecraft is so0o0o0o0o0o0o much fun! I play it all day until my fingers bleed! my mommy tells me that if I play too much I’ll go blind but i dont even care! I love to play minecraft so much! I have so many dogs in my castle!

Haha, so true man!  I for one love this game because as you said I grew up with Lego and enjoy building as muc as the next guy!  I got my love for architecture and got my degree in it.  I now use minecraft to plan out houses that I make!

God some people do not get this amazing game, half of the people on this game are either teens or kids, making them not having to go to work or whatnot, letting them have that much time to sit and create.  I use this great game for my Houses that I create as I am In an architectural branch of work.  Play the real version and you’ll see what I mean!

lol CoD and WoW are not real games :P

Bite me, there is a texture pack that converts the 16x16x16 texture into a 256x256x256 texture!

Ha ha, your only fight against Cod and mine craft is that in Cod you can shoot people and have fun.  Where as in Mine Craft you can build, explore, mine, fight, “SHOOT DA MOBS and have fun”, and show your creations off to your friends, make new friends, and lastly create with your friends!  Better than shooting people and having fun, huh?  Now you also say we have no life, when you are sitting here, trolling on a game that many millions of users like, and trying to change people’s creative minds to a horrificly violence filled game that I bet you have invested around 50 – 100 hours into.  And now I will address your grammatical Errors: You spelled “Graphics” wrong, you forgot about about 5 commas, and you have a tremendous nag to create a run-on sentence!

“I <3 the fact that my son plays minecraft. It's very creative and keeps him off the street"

he is gunna get fat if you keep letting him play minecraft all day, you over-protective mother

i use a 3d anmation tool to make blue prints and then buil up layer by layer it make my stuff alot cleaner looking and give me a guide so im not just trying to freehand a HUGE build

 lol how the fuck did i get to this page. ive read the first 20 posts and already im like srsly wtf get a life if i offend u 1 cry a river 2 build a bridge 3 get over it maybe u cud EXPLORE the outside 4 once. do u even know what a window is. fucking hell.

I am thinking that some of the people who are dissing Minecraft are just doing it for the reaction of all of the other people. If we just ignore them, the ammount of people “hateing” will probably decrease.

MINECRAFT FOREVER!!

you r amazing XD

3 words.
U MAD, BRO?

stop you bicth by the way im 10 and its a fack email

hahaha you suck balls

dfex c423you suck balls

haha i literally lolled at your comment, ‘Get a Life Noobs’?? using the word ‘noob’ implies that you don’t have one yourself, furthermore C.O.D or WOW? Again with the no life thing… Please think before you post :D

Your Mothe is kaka

I actually AM an architect & find this game to be a wonderful tool for inspiring creative thought through the younger (and not so young) generations. Stop mentioning your ability to use high end 3D modeling software, this GAME never once hinted it was going to be anything other than light hearted fun. You woukd never find Peter Zumthor rendering his buildings using Minecraft so as many others have stated, shut it. You mentioned in your post about europe & USAs economic decline, I’d take being broke over 3rd world living conditions (as I imagine this is the sort of area that you live concidering your obviously bitter attitude towards westernised civilations) any day of the week. I cant even be bothered to go back through this post to amended my spelling

So because he doesn’t like minecraft it “wins” LOL I still am trying to figure out what people like about it but when ever someone asks they get flamed.

No. Minecraft= EPIC WIN.

Why on Earth does there have to be a purpose to playing Minecraft? I play it just for the fun of building a crazy castle and screaming when I’m blown up by a creeper. Why can’t that be enough?

I love this <3 

 I have played both those games. WoW gets insanely boring (And you need to pay what? 10 bucks a month, every month to play?) And the COD series is very quick to defeat.

Minecraft has revolutionised games. Instead of focusing on blood, special effects, and futuristic or realistic gameplay, its focused on making something simple and enjoyable, for very little cost. Honestly, go buy Minecraft. I guarantee that you will either love it to bits, or hate it. And honestly, how long does it take to beat a Cod game? 4 hours? Minecraft randomly generates parts of the map WHILE you play, leaving you with unpredictability (within reason). Look at your COD and WoW, and tell me that you get a different game every time you start anew. Tell me.

then shut the fuck up cunt.

This person may be related to Herobrine. Don’t let the hate bother you. The deal with Minecraft is that it has amazing simplicity blended with a familiar world style setting wherein you have the ability to play an entirely creative game, or set out to survive in the world, or a combination of both. It allows for fantasy themed gaming in a multiplayer setting if desired, or allows a player to remain on single player for their own unique experience. In addition, players can use their understanding of the game and its mechanics to come up with some very creative ideas… from using “redstone wiring” (similar to electricity) to make a host of “automated processes” or explosive devices. The whole thing basically has no limits, save for the creativity of the player and the developer’s (that is to say Notch’s) time. The other part that players really enjoy is that they actually see the most-used mods and most requested additions actually make it into the game due to the fact that Notch listens to his player base. 

Oh my god, I’m so sorry for you having that condition, not many people are afflicted in such a bad way, you at least appear to have a serious case of ‘being a cynical asshole’. A game with so much freedom is confusing to people at times but really a game like Minecraft is what you make of it, if you don’t like it then fuck off and bother someone that is interested, if you don’t understand it and are so confused by such a simple game then why are you even looking through articles like this?

The point in minecraft is mainly to survive the zombies/creepers/spiders etc at the same time trying to build somewhere to hide if you don’t want to fight them, the digging is simply a “realistic” way of getting materials for better weapons and things like that. Building a model in a model editor is simple and easier than building block by block in minecraft, yes but that’s something people who want a GAME wont want to do, the survival (and now adventure) aspect of the game is what a lot of people buy it for, you can make a game like this what you want to, if you are closed minded (closed minded is if you aren’t willing to try it before saying it sucks, not following a trend, especially when there had to of been people who liked it to begin with before it could become a trend) enough that you think its that simple then get the fuck out and go back to your shitty modelling program.

Oh and minecraft does have some skills you can learn if you include the many many mods which are made for minecraft which people have to learn to use java if they want to make mods for it. Say what you want about minecraft, wont change the fact that Notch is worth millions now because of how many people like it.

That is likely because most people who ask what the point is ask it in a way that to many would sound like they are saying its a bad game, if instead of asking “what is the point in minecraft?” you would be better asking “What am I supposed to do in minecraft? Can someone tell me what the aim of the game is?”.

Ask the latter and you would probably get a lot better response. You have two things you can do mainly, which is use your imagination and build whatever you want with blocks OR you can go on survival and last as long as you can against a bunch of crazy ass enemies, ether way there’s something for majority of people to do :)

If you cant find something to fit your wants then try looking into some of the many many mods for minecraft, I have like 20 installed now and I find it enhances the experience by that many times. For instance I have a mod which can allow me to build my own colony which people move into and do jobs like building and farming, this in turn allows you to build houses for your people and farm wheat to be made into bread for the villagers to live on. That covers a town management system for people like me who like that.

Minecraft is what you make of it, if you go into it expecting the basics of it to be stupid and terrible you will likely come out with the same impression. Go into it with an open mind and a willingness to improve the game in areas you don’t like and you could find yourself addicted to it.

You sir are a wonderful person.

Can’t tell if troll or just stupid…o.O

On a side note, I do not like fishing games with 6 year olds, nor do I like paying to play a basic and horrible looking multiplayer game with a small minded community…

Umm…how about 16×16 and 256×256 (highest Ive seen is now 1024×1024) since sprites are only 2D not 3D…

“…Orgrammar…”

Well, that’s ironic.

He is not going to get Fat if he plays a computer game in his free time, i play it when i get down time. In between work and school, it helps me relax and keeps my brain going. So before you comment on something think about it first, what if he lives in an area that going outside is actually dangerous?

Point of fact is that this game is awesome and a fun SANDBOX type game. If your into first person shooter games play them but dont comment on a game that you dont like the style of just for the fact that you dont like it. And if you dont like taking the time to build block by block there is a mod for that. Magic wand can help you make buildings faster than any other mod, but flying is needed to build them fast. So if you havent tried it yet please do before commenting on it. If you have tried it and dont like it, Why the hell are you looking at a page tittled vvv ?
EYE-CANDY21 Amazing Minecraft Creations

You, sir, seem to be afflicted with “overly-aggressive fanboy” syndrome. Look, I must have seen this article posted somewhere, and, given the popularity of Minecraft, decided to come here and take the look. While these creations are impressive, I posted an innocent question asking people to tell me why exactly Minecraft is so great, not having the time to try it out myself. So far I’ve received only one decent answer. I *was* intrigued by this game and merely wanted to know what made it so popular.

I’m definitely not anymore.

OK, thank you for giving a more detailed explanation re: the mechanics of the game. See, people, “if you don’t like it then leave/fuck off” is NOT the way to persuade people to like your game.

Were not trying to persuade you to like our game, when we say get the fuck out, it means we want you to get the fuck out…..damn, i hear down syndrome is a bitch.

So you have a son yet you spell like a dyslexic fourth grader? Poor kid.

This game Minecraft is very cool! Well sad face because of enderman. . . But i wanna tell that HEROBRINE IS FAKE

and that my dear friends in a duche without a life or a girl friend. reasons i play minecraft:
1. no ranking system, so i can hang with my mates, girlfriend, family ect and not worry about loosing my place
2. then is no limit to what you can acutally do….. so many resources so much space
3. it pisses dicks of like YOU, (cod is better, guy)
4. cod means chocking on dick and halo mean hello anal love orifice 
5. and with that you got trolled

There are two game mods – survival and creative:
 In creative mod you can create what ever you want for example the things that posted here.
 In survival mod you have to digg for sources,have to hunt pigscowschickens and you fight aginst zombies at night.

In a single phrase, the point is “to use your imagination”. It appeals to personalities that like to build things from their imaginations, to explorers, and anyone that likes exercising creativity in a sandbox. In fact, it’s in the realm of “sandbox games” where you are given the tools to create whatever world you want. That *is* the point. If you are not in touch with your own imagination, then this game is probably not for you.

While other games sometimes allow you to manipulate the world, usually they merely force-feed their designer’s story to you, and you’re just a pawn in the story. Being “that kind” of consumer is not wrong, but it does not make you think much more than watching TV. Studies have shown that children who “play” using their imaginations grow up more creative than children who merely “watch” or use single-purpose toys that feed them excessive stimulus.

People who read these comments are probably not getting the best impression of minecraft players. Everyone is cussing each other out or insulting a mother because she doesn’t want her son to get into trouble. Really what’s wrong with you people?

Thanks for this explanation!

I get the feeling that you are the type of person that plays nothing but CoD and the like

Cool.  So anyway, I built a 3×3 dirt house today..Pr

“does not condone any real thought”
…yeah, it does. You need to think about your strategy, work with your team, and flank/ambush the enemy to win. How the FUCK does Minecraft condone any real thought? OHHHHH YAHHH YAHH DIRT FLOATS. ANNND WEE CAN BENDD AND CRAFFFFFFFFTTTTTT DIAMONDS (OH MY GOD DIAMONDS MY LIFE IS COMPLETE)   WITHHHH OURRRR HANDSDASDFASDFS.

Uncalled for, that’s just not cool and low.

your gay

Your mum is wonderful in bed

I seriously doubt you could make a good even close to as good as this. You Obviously have no imagination.

The best way for you to experience what minecraft actually is, is in my
opinion to checkout the Yogscast on youtube, they really give a good
secondhand experience of the game.

Start with the beginning and watch your way through and you will see not only what it is but also how it has evolved.

This will also give you the possibility to understand why people say “it is what you want it to be”.

why would you even be lurking here? Why aren’t you outside playing football??
At least do a spell check..

Thanks! I actually already am more interested in this game thanks to some of the more helpful comments I’ve received here. I will checkout the channel you mentioned.

We don’t want to persuade you, we don’t give a shit if you play or not. Everything doesn’t revovle around you.

What a clever comment!

i mean its cool but DEFINITLY NOT worth the money i can play Roblox all day and it not cost a cent!

Another absolute favourite of mine is Waterfall City by FYREUK.

minecraft is epic

minecraft is an awesome game that you can do anything in it i did it is awesome but i didn’t buy it just for free

i liked the pork plant thing. just where did you get the gears?

i also liked the kanto pokemon region. can you make one based on pokemon black version 3DS?

 at the fanmade trailer, it said “mine” then “craft”(at some point…) mine craft. MINECRAFT!
