Over the weekend and a few evenings this week, I’ve sunk an embarrassing amount of time into building virtual structures with pixelated cubes in a game called Minecraft. This Java app is ongoing project by Markus Persson. It’s currently in alpha stage, but even now is incredibly fun. The premise is simple: select from nine types of cubes and build whatever you want in a virtual space, one cube at a time.
The multiplayer servers are a blast. The avatars are blocky and prance like little kids. The players explore the world building crazy towers, under water forts, skywalks, gardens, etc. Some are loners, others team up like ants to shape the landscape to their will. In short order, a sparse map is teaming with structures. The limited amount of materials keeps the world unified and looking a little like a Super Mario level.
Creative mode is where its at. Just check out an average server.
