PC Longplay [178] Minecraft (Part 3 of 6)

Played by: JonL

Minecraft 1.0.0
Developer: Mojang
Released: November 18, 2011

** Notes
So here it is, the game that stole one year of my life (and counting).
In this longplay, I mainly focus on the survival aspects of the game, leading to the eventual boss fight. On the way, though, I try to demonstrate as many things as possible without getting repetitive or wasting too much time.
After "finishing" the game, however, I start a new world in creative mode and build a modest sculpture just to demonstrate this very different gameplay.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of demonstrated features:
- Spelunking and collecting underground resources.
- Fighting hostile mobs.
- Crafting many blocks and useful items.
- Finding a mob dungeon and turning it into a mob grinder to quickly gather resources.
- Visiting an NPC village.
- Building a house.
- Growing basic tree farm, wheat farm and sugar cane farm.
- Repairing tools and weapons.
- Enchanting weapons and armor parts.
- Exploring and mapping the surroundings, showing off different biomes (climatic areas) and picturesque land features.
- Using a boat to cross large bodies of water.
- Nearly drowning (lol)
- Building a portal to the Nether (a creepy firey dimension) and locating a Nether fortress.
- Finding and exploring an underground ravine.
- Finding and exploring an abandoned mine.
- Locating and exploring a stronghold.
- Establishing a portal to The End and defeating the Ender Dragon.
- Creative mode, 3D pixel art.
- Most importantly, baking CAKE! :P

That was the coolest god damn cavern/cave I've ever seen!

This is a very helpful longplay, I didn't know of many aspects shown so far when I last played the game, knowing how to make farms and the more unique tools and the efficient ways to explore etc. are all going to come in handy when I next play the game.

@lildiscostu It's not a waste of time because you enjoy the time you spend on playing the game. And isn't life about enjoyment? Time you like to waste on video games is not wasted at all.

"Game" can mean one of any number of things. Perhaps people have forgotten the days when things like Sim City (and the Sim series in general), Creatures, and the like were a lot more common. There may have been goals, but the goal wasn't to win, so much as it was to play within a simulated world and see what you can do with it.

Minecraft might not be a traditional "game," but it is still a game. Even back when it lacked a goal.

@lildiscostu All video games are a waste of time if you think about it that way.

@aranokchildofarkan

If it's not a book, would you call it a game?

[DarkKnightKaraco]

Its a sand box game with a building premise - you can play multiplayer. It has no real and true ending. Sorta like Terraria.

[lildiscostu]

i think its like sim city... your gathering resources and build something to enjoy about, but theres no one who cares about it. i understand the thrill of a game with no real endig but in the end its a waste of time

[lildiscostu]

its kinda mesmorizing...

@awemedinade If it's not game what would you call it? A book?
