At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things.

It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea.***[media=youtube]MmB9b5njVbA[/media]***Following concepts were removed with some versions:
* healing items (1.8 - re-added with 1.9)
* uncolored lighting (1.8)

Pros:
-Great atmosphere and music.
-Amazing sense of wonder.
-Challenging events and biomes.
-Variety of NPCs and enemies.
-Subtle cross-referenced easter eggs that actually improve the game and don't seem forced.
-Big depths with many cave systems.
-2D side scroll eases exploration, making it less confusing.
-Incredibly well done crafting tree and progress system.
-Bosses.
-Player and map are interdependent (you can play as much worlds as you wish with the same character)

Cons:
-Addictive as hello without o.
