[TheKingsHills]

I decided I might as well update the "Minecraft!" article due to the original being behind. I posted in the thread asking about but recieved no reply, therefore I am assuming it is alright. Note I will be copying and editing the original text into this thread

Minecraft
Hello everybody, there is this great sandbox game, called Minecraft. Minecraft is a whole world made out of endless block structures as far as the eye can see. The world randomly generates all around you making caves, mountain's, forests, villages, mine shaft's and structures like strongholds, dungeons, as well as many more. The wold is filled with giant forests(forest biome), vast oceans (ocean biome), snowy forests (taiga biome), giant mushroom (mooshroom biome), mountains (extreme hills biome), grassy plains (plains biome), massive jungles (jungle biome), deep ravines, and many other types of biomes. You can break anything you want, build anything you want, and even kill anything you want because minecraft is not limited with updates around every once in a while (update . The worlds are 3-D, and you can actually turn on 3-D mode with 3-D glasses and view monsters jumping out at you and you can sit there and scream. With a day and night cycle, structures are made nicely. Also, there is a mineral know as redstone which you can mine underground, it lets you build giant machines like a code door, instant opening double doors, monster traps, and much much more.

Mobs
Minecraft also consists of creatures called mobs. Mobs are creatures which are encountered in your gameplay to make the game harder or easier/simpler.

Passive -
The passive mobs in the game are Pigs, Cows, Sheep, Chickens, Squid, Ocelots (cats once domesticated), Mooshroom Cows, Snow Golens, Iron Golems, Wolves(dogs once domesticated), Horses, Mules, and Donkeys.

We should not the the in-game NPCs, the Villagers, are considered peaceful mobs.

Also, Pigs, Horses, Donkeys, and Mules all have the ability to be ridden and controlled. Essentially turning these specific mobs into easier transportation, this also allows them to be considered "vehicular mobs"

Hostile -
Then, there are hostile mobs in the game, they are: Creepers, Ghasts, Skeletons, Slimes, Spiders, Spider Jockeys, [Info Denied], Zombies, zombie Pigmen, Endermen, Silverfish, Cave spiders, Blazes, Magma Cubes, witches, wither skeletons. Finally there are 2 bosses, the Ender-Dragon and the Wither. Both of these 2 creatures are extremely hard to kill even with end game equipment. Allowing for a sort of "challenge" in the game.

Enchanting - Make your weapons, armor, tools, etc. Stronger/more efficient with enchanting tables

Afterwards
After a while Vanilla (Normal) minecraft does get boring so you can either do 1 of 2 things:
1.) Join servers to play online with others
or
2.) Install Mods
Mods are short for modifications, Mods alter your minecraft jar and add in new things, such as new blocks, mobs, features, biomes, and etc.
