This is literally one of the best games ever made. And that's WITHOUT mods.

I like minecraft because it has no set goal: Minecraft is a sandbox game, meaning there's no specific goal to achieve. Players can play however they want and always find something more to do.

Pretty solid game, although recent years I feel like Mojang has made some incredulous mistakes, such as the mob vote and poor update design.
