Minecraft is a sandbox game where players can explore, build, and survive in a blocky, pixelated world. To play, you start by gathering resources like wood and stone to craft tools and build shelters. In Survival mode, you must manage health, hunger, and fight hostile mobs, while in Creative mode, you have unlimited resources to build freely. You can mine deep underground for valuable ores, farm crops and animals, or explore different biomes and dimensions like the Nether and the End. Whether playing solo or with friends, Minecraft offers endless possibilities for creativity and adventure!
