Minecraft is an immensely popular game due to the freedom and creativity a player is allowed to express. For that, I think Minecraft is a great game. I personally deem Minecraft the new-age virtual legos as it allows you to build whatever you desire block by block. Toys are a healthy medium by which children can exercise their mind, grow their imagination, and act it out.
Because Minecraft is on a computer device, children get to familiarize themselves with devices they will potentially be using in their future career. So why is it that I view Minecraft as the worst video game for a child to play as their first video game?
Chances are that your child is playing Minecraft in creative mode and not survival mode. In creative mode, there are no consequences what-so-ever. In this way, I think Minecraft is great for helping to nurture the creativity of the player. In survival mode, you need to adapt and build your knowledge and skill set to survive the world and gather the necessary items to create a portal and fight the Ender Dragon.
These frustrations lead many-a-child back onto creative mode to play and build. Great for creative mind flexing, but not so great with building skills to take on challenges. The more a child plays creative mode, the more they build a comfort level of not wanting to invite a challenge. One of the biggest pleasures of a kid playing creative mode is summoning monsters such as the final boss Ender Dragon. In creative mode, you can fight any monster without being able to take damage.
Children get glued to a game that invites no challenge and requires no skill. It is in this way that the problem leads to many other problems for children. As with any child, challenges can be frustrating and require extra time to help guide a child to overcome it. This mindset is commonplace amongst young children who avidly play Minecraft. Not to mention that outside of learning to program, children take this approach to many other matters such as tying their shoe, listening to a behavioral directive, or expressing outward anger the first sign of something being hard or not perfect.
The only goals they achieve is whatever they set out to build. The difficulty matches whatever effort they put into building or exploring. Because of this, children playing Minecraft never experience getting a game over or having to use their head to defeat a specific enemy or solve a puzzle. Couple this with the fact that society has now created participation awards. We agree with the latter because we believe that we should not enable a mindset where simply participating is good enough.
We want to encourage individuals to work hard in order to achieve a level of success they can be proud of and recognized for. All of the previous reasons build up to this point. In a lot of cases, I also see children venture back into their comfort zone of playing Minecraft creative mode after trying a new more challenging game for a few minutes. Many mobile games are simply clicking games. You click endlessly or in a specific way to progress in a level. These types of games can require a degree of skill and thinking, but these types of games are as far as a child who tends to play Minecraft creative mode will tend to play.
However, the addictive nature of these games combined with its relatively low skill threshold is a recipe for disaster. Mobile games can be addictive and many of them are simple tap games. At these young ages, children become so used to that type of stimuli, in this case, taping the iPad or phone. It is then that they learn to become unable to sit still when the time calls for it.
There are even mods available that make Dwarf Fortress look like Minecraft! Dwarf Fortress mode puts players in a sandbox-style game that is open-ended with non-linear gameplay. You control a colony of dwarves and build and manage their fortress. The Enderman is a long-limbed, purple-eye, black figure that is a neutral enemy found in Minecraft.
It doesn't attack you when you approach it but will fight back if you damage it first. They appear in all the dimensions of Minecraft and are most commonly found in the End World. This may come as a surprise to many, but did you know the Enderman's language is English backward? Make a recording of the Enderman's speech in reverse. You'll find that most of its words are from the English language. As reported by la. Microsoft has made changes to the graphics of Minecraft and added multiplayer game modes, but has kept the game mostly the same.
In a vast emptiness of nothing, there was once going to be an interactive zone in Minecraft's sky. The Sky Dimension is something that was planned but never made it to the final product.
It was meant to be the opposite of The Nether. It's still possible to access the Sky Zone since the prototype version can be accessed through Minecraft mods. We mentioned that Markus Persson liked the game Dwarf Fortress and that it served as inspiration for Minecraft.
Did you know that Markus Persson played other games before creating Minecraft? Games like Roller Coaster Tycoon and Dungeon Keeper likely had a considerable influence on his decision to create this game. Roller Coaster Tycoon is also a sandbox game that encourages players to build to progress. Although Minecraft is more open-ended, it's hard to ignore the lengthiness of a game like Roller Coaster Tycoon. Creepers are some of the most nefarious enemies found in Minecraft.
There are few enemies as destructive and hostile as Creepers. Found in Mobs in Survival mode, they can destroy players' constructions and damage players. They are especially frustrating because they attack in broad daylight, unlike Zombies and Skeletons. Creepers strike silently, making them difficult to spot. With all that said, they are scared of a docile Ocelot.
It's an effective strategy to keep groups of tame ocelots around your house. Yes, Minecraft uses the metric system. The designer of Minecraft, Markus Persson, is a Swedish video game designer. Sweden is one of many countries around the world that has adopted the metric system.
It's not the most accurate system when implemented in Minecraft, but it is simple to use. Perhaps Minecraft should add 0. Such a change would revolutionize the game.
