Obviously, building things is only one part of Minecraft. Your only limit is your imagination, and as soon as you start, you'll realize that the options at your disposal are practically endless. In this infinite realm, you can do everything from chipping off big chunks of stone to building a house, chopping down trees to craft furniture, or even putting together more complex projects like wells, statues, entire buildings, etc. Collect blocks of any sort of material to use later for whatever you see fit. Now, when we say 'however you like'-we really mean it.
Minecraft is a game chock-full of adventure, exploration and creativity where you survive in a world composed of blocks – similar to Legos – that you can move around however you like from a first-person point of view.
