Gameplay



Gameplay in Minecraft right now consists purely of adding and destroying blocks on a map in the middle of a massive ocean. There are several different types of blocks, some of which perform special functions.

With these blocks, players create large constructions such as castles, roads, buildings or skywalks, along with forms of artwork. A chessboard or giant picture rarely goes amiss on a server.

Not only have users designed buildings, art, and caves, but also mini-sports. Using the current in-game features, users have been putting them to clever use. An example of a Minecraft sport is Spleef.

Notch is planning on adding a Survival mode, Zombie Siege, and perhaps other game modes, to give it more gameplay. Right now it's considered purely a sandbox construction game.
