Minecraft is a sandbox construction game created by Mojang AB. It's development started around the 10th of May 2009. Pre-orders for the full game started being accepted on the 13th of June, 2009. 

Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens. It also has music by C418.

I've renamed the old version of the game "Minecraft Classic", and will be slowly phasing it out. I won't remove it, though. Just hide it.

You can read more on the development blog, or here.

not sure. they're pretty open though. I can run it on my laptop, and only get lag on the day/night transitions. if you just get a semi-modern system, it should work.

also, java is a must. that's the only must I know of.

nope. I mean, this game is based on "you're on an island on your own". I don't think anyone would be able to make a gun on their own :P

Well it would be nice if it would be nice if modding is posible.
Minecraft has ok style of gameplay but i got anoyed by few things.
The head is a bit too big for a small body and not having atleast 16/17th
century gunpowder weapons is a bit weird, if minecraft is something like searching for gold in small islands then it would be nice.

Its just my opinon...

I'm thinking about buying this...I'm actually surprised that i haven't bought it yet and it has got to be an AWESOME game when it fully releases. I love games like that. If I buy it now i'm not going to have to pay for it again..ever..right?

Also I have something to point out: it says you have to BUY the game to save your creations (online and offline) if i remember correctly...well, if you ignore the message you can save it on your computer and even though it lags, you can still load it. Is that a bug or am i missing something?

Still an amazing game, but one thing it really needs is some kind of quick-start mode. Starting a brand new game can be really repetitive and boring, especially during the first few nights.

A quick start mode could start you with a basic cabin, a workbench, a furnace, a wooden pick-axe, a wooden sword, and 20 torches.

Minecraft is a small building game that looks like it will be very boring at first glance. You look, and you see blocks, you see animals and you see people building dirt houses. Without knowing the mechanics, it cannot be understood. However, once you play, you can suddenly see why people enjoy the game. Minecraft is portrayed as a building game. You put blocks down and build things, which is reflected in the only easily accessible free version. Minecraft is NOT simply a block building game. It…
