In Minecraft the player is placed in a procedurally generated and virtually infinite game world where, armed with nothing but his own fists, he must start a new life. You begin by punching trees and obtaining logs which can be later transformed into wood.

Then, by combining flour blocks of wood you can create a crafting table where you’ll be able to build pretty much everything in the game as long as you gather the materials. Tools such as axes, shovels, or pickaxes and even weapons and armor should be your first priority. Minecraft is the absolute example of a successful sandbox exploration title that encompasses a myriad of items to craft, the possibility to build whatever your want, all in a virtually endless environment.
