Minecraft is an ever-increasing popular sandbox independent video game created by Markus Persson.  The aompany Mojang was created through the proceeds gathered from selling access to Minecraft.  The game was first released to the public through an alpha version on May 17th 2009.  Subsequently, a beta version was created on December 20th, 2010.  The full version of Minecraft was recently released on November 18th, 2001.  The game is conceptually contrived with a focus on building and creativity.  This sandbox-esque aspect of the game allows players the ability to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world- somewhat akin to Legos.  The minecraft world is made up of cubical blocks which are arranged in a set pattern which represent different resources such as water, dirt, stone, a multitude of ores, tree trunks etc.    The game is demarcated into two modes: survival, creative, and hardcore.  Creative mode allows the player to have an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly anywhere they please, and no health or hunger constraints.  Survival mode requires to player to attain their own resources and manage their hunger and health constraints.  The last game mode, hardcore, involves the increase in monster difficulty and if the player ever dies they have to restart their world.  If you are interested in minecraft hacks please check back for updates.
