Why Is Minecraft So Trendy?

By Jason Key


Minecraft is a sandbox video game which has sold millions of copies for the PC, Android and iOS mobile systems and the Xbox 360. The game involves a player having to travel around large virtual environments to develop different items with blocks. While you are navigating the environment and building items, it's essential to constantly be on the look out for hostile enemies that attack you on sight. There are many reasons why Minecraft is as trendy as it is and will remain popular as more people begin to see what the game is all about.

A Creative Experience

Minecraft allows anyone to be as creative as one wants. While the normal Survival and Adventure modes allow players to embark upon all sorts of missions and complete many objectives while trying to survive, Minecraft's Creative mode allows people to make all types of different things with any tool they want and without taking any damage. Players can use this mode to construct large buildings and design other environments that may be shared with other players from across the world.

A Variety of Things

Minecraft provides players with a large number of surroundings and different tools which makes it easy to navigate. The various landscapes in the game is especially impressive. The game has dozens of blocks to play with. Each block has specific unique properties which enables it to be utilized in several ways. There's also a huge variety of trees, monsters, weapons, building tools and special potions to make use of throughout the game.

Fun Enemies

People can play against a variety of enemies in the game. While it's fun to play with each other, it can also be fun to take on different Mobs within the game. Some of the enemies in the game include Blazes, Cave Spiders, Spiders, Zombies, Wither Skeletons, the Endermen, and many others.

Easy to Operate

Minecraft's unique block-style interface makes this game very easy to run on many devices. The Android and iOS mobile systems can easily run Minecraft. With the PC version, it is able to run on any of the major operating systems. A player only needs 90 MB of space and 2 GB of RAM to run the game too. These system requirements are much lower than what many other games require these days.

Easy to Share

It's also easy to share things within the Minecraft game with other players. People can create many things to be used in Minecraft and share them in several forms. Texture packs that adjust the appearance of the game can be created and sent to other people. Maps for Survival and Adventure modes can be created and sent to other players as well. People can even download various custom skins to provide their custom characters unique appearances. The number of places that people can download these from makes it all the more appealing.

New Features Always Come Up

Minecraft never gets boring because it is consistently being updated with new things. Some of these updates include bug fixes along with new features, tools, and also new maps. The expansion of the game is continuous and it will continue to evolve as it becomes more popular.
