hi, yes, there are parts of the game that are simplistic. but that's
ok. it doesn't have to be complex. and not being funny here, but candy
crush is way more popular? ...
games don't have to be amazingly complex, or advanced, to be fun. and
yeah. the modding community for ti is huge. and that's what a lot of
people do, is mod it. and it's easy to do.
all we need now, is a mod, that lets us play it. lol. but that's a
little more advanced then i think the modding could handle.

 The game itself is actually not terribly complicated. In its simplest
 form, build a world, fight monsters, and collect resources so you can
 build more and fight more.

 My personal bias in this case is actually pretty strong, but the one

 that nobody ever thought would get in there.
 It's kind of become a giant message board, in a way, for funny gaming

 Minecraft,
 created by Markus Persson, the founder of Mojang AB.
 Minecraft development started around May 10, 2009,
 The game involves players placing and breaking various types of blocks
 in
 a three-dimensional environment. The player takes on an avatar that can
 break and place blocks, forming fantastic structures, creations, and
 artwork, on multiplayer servers and singleplayer worlds across multiple
 game modes.
 Blocks  From Minecraft
 This article is about the various blocks found in Minecraft.

 All blocks are the basic units of structure in Minecraft, and are
 essential to the gameplay. Together, they build up the in-game
 environment, and can be mined and utilized in various fashions. There
 are
 one hundred and fifty three different blocks.

 The face of a block is 16×16 pixels by default, but a player can make
 the
 game more detailed, with faces becoming up to 1024x1024 pixels. Each
 block
 is proportionately one cubic meter.[1] Most blocks are static, although
 water, lava, portal, and fire blocks have a shifting pattern for each
 face.

 Naturally generated includes blocks that are created through the world
 seed.

Mobs are living, moving game entities. Generally, mobs are affected by the 
environment in the same ways as the player: they are subject to physics, and 
they can be hurt by almost all the same things that harm the player: 
Catching on fire, falling, drowning or suffocating, and of course being 
attacked with weapons. However, some types have individual resistances or 
immunities: For example, Nether mobs are immune to fire, several mobs do not 
take fall damage, and some have a natural armor rating that protects them 
against attacks. Mobs can even ride mine carts, which is a passable way to 
move them around for special purposes. When mobs are killed, they
