Minecraft Review

By: Brandon Evans and John Musso

Minecraft is a popular game for all ages. The game has been around since 2009, and has millions of people playing it since. The game has two different modes, creative and survival. The creative mode helps kids fly around the minecraft world and create whatever they want. The survival mode requires people to find food and build their own shelter to protect themselves against the monsters that lurk in the darkness, such as zombies and creepers which explode when you get close to them. The longer you play in your survival world, the more you get done. You can get special resources to make armour and enchant it with an enchantment table. You can also get tools to mine things in caves to make other things. One of the things you can get from mining is obsidian. When you put the blocks in a certain way and light it on fire you can create a portal to another dimension called the Nether. In the Nether, there are different blocks and mobs, such as Piglins who you can trade with gold. It is more dangerous, with oceans of lava, tall cliffs. There are also colossal fortresses called Nether Fortresses. In a Nether Fortress there are wither skeletons that poison you when they hit you. There are also blazes, which are mobs made of fire and when you kill them they give you blaze rods which you will need later on. When you go back to the overworld, You will need to use your blaze rods that you got from the blazes in the nether to craft eyes of ender, which will lead you to a stronghold where you will find blocks in a certain position. You will then put the eyes of Ender on the blocks and a portal will activate. This portal will lead you to a place called the end dimension. In “The End” there are hundreds of enderman,mobs that can teleport, in the end. And then of course there is the final boss in the end called the ender dragon. The Ender Dragon flies around and shoots energy blasts at you. When you deal enough damage it will fly around and try to regain health by using special crystals. To destroy the crystals you just need to shoot them with arrows. But you might notice that some of them have cages around them. You will have to use blocks to climb up the tower to mine open the cage to then destroy it. Once you have destroyed the crystals you can now hurt the ender dragon without it trying to regain health. You have to keep damaging the Ender Dragon until the magenta health bar goes all the way down and then you will see that lights will illuminate from the dragon until it explodes and tons of experience points fly out. You have now defeated the Ender Dragon and have completed the game. You will see an egg after the dragon is defeated and you will mine it and take it and the game will end. Minecraft is a very good game for all ages, and millions of people around the world enjoy it. You can even play online with your friends on servers. The possibilities are truly endless .Give Minecraft a try if you have never played it. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it!
