A kick ass game that is being built slowly. The creator is notch, and he programs the game.

When you are doing or claim to want to do illegal or sensitive activity that is definitely in Minecraft. It is not real in real life. Definitely just Minecraft.

Minecraft is a game where when you play it once, u will never go outside or get excersize again. It is like a cheap drug in which you build and remove blocks to make awe inspiring structures.

Minecraft is a game written in Java created by Mojang AB in 2009. Minecraft has two current variants - Classic (which is free) and Beta (which you have to pay for).
In Beta, the main goal is to survive. At night, monsters spawn (but not in Peaceful mode) and attack you so you need to craft items and tools to help you survive. You also need to eat regularly.

Minecraft has gone through many development stages:

Classic - the oldest version. It is still playable and has multiplayer. In Classic, you have an infinite amount of blocks, no health, and no mobs.

Survival Test - Part of Classic, very basic compared to the Survival we play and know today.

Indev - Added a number of new features, including crafting, torches, and tools.

Infdev - Added the ability to have an infinite playing surface.

Alpha - Added biomes, nether, sneaking, and much more.

Beta - The current version of Minecraft. Added beds (which can skip the night), more mobs such as endermen and wolves (which can be tamed with bones and attack monsters), and many more.

Multiplayer is in both Classic and Beta, which allows, well, multiplayer, duhhhh

A suitable alternative to some illegal substance.

The single most addicting game in the world, side effects are anti-sociality, fear of light, explodingpenisphobia, a fear of the Creeper, occasional dreams only in blocks and thinking Minecraft is real.
