How to Download and Install Minecraft?

Minecraft is an open-world game with no specific goals for the player to accomplish, allowing players a greater degree of freedom in the game. Although the game still exists in a progress system or an achievement system before version 1.12 and bedrock version, it doesn’t require players to achieve it. The gameplay is in first person perspective by default, and players have the option to play in third person. The core gameplay revolves around breaking and placing cubes. The game world is made up of rough 3D cubes with fixed grids (dots) on its surface, representing various materials, such as dirt, stones, ores, water and tree trunks. These blocks are arranged in a grid numbered by integers, while players can easily move around the world. In addition to entities, players can collect these blocks and place them where they want to place them, so as to carry out various constructions (if adventure mode is adopted, it depends on the game settings).
