Minecraft is a sandbox
game created by
Markus Persson, a.
k.a "
Notch". It is inspired by many games, especially Infiniminer. It has over 400,000 registered players.
There are 6 modes:
Creative: makes you build anything you want, single-
player and multiplayer
Survival: a very basic version of Indev, where you have to defend yourself from monsters
Indev: a version which added a number of new features, including crafting and more monsters
Infdev: same thing as Indev except this version added an infinite playing surface
Multiplayer is a part of Creative mode, which allows you to build with other players in servers.
Unfortunately, there are "griefers" that destroy creations including yours.
A survival multiplayer was created in
August 2010, which allows players to play Indev with other players.
