Work Introdution
Minecraft is a game where blocks are allocated and destroyed to create “objects” based on players' free conceptions.
Players can freely explore the world randomly generated and build various things from a simple house through a gorgeous castle.
If players want to focus on creating something, they should play the creative mode to infinitely use materials. If they want to focus on battles and challenges, they can create weapons and protection gears and play the survival mode.
You can silently play alone without being disturbed and you can enjoy multiplay with the company. Minecraft platforms are Windows, Windows 10, Mac, Windows Phone, iOS, Android, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Wii U.
