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

Love the game, but Microsoft is forcing account migration. I never wanted a microsoft account and IMO they should piss off and leave me to my Java edition in peace. Also, almost every server you join now is loaded with loot-box mods... So, their's also that to contend with.

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.

Great for kids to learn spatial awareness and to creatively build.
