Playing the sandbox survival game Minecraft, from surviving the first night to redstone and large builds.
Minecraft is a sandbox survival game that combines resource gathering, crafting, building, exploration, redstone circuitry, and combat in a procedurally generated infinite world. Sub-skills such as survival fundamentals, resource management, farming, enchanting, redstone engineering, Nether and End exploration, and server administration are organically intertwined. Creative building and technical problem-solving ability are the key factors that distinguish higher-level play.
