So if you haven't heard about Minecraft yet, you probably actually live in a mine (or at least under a giant rock)! Minecraft mania is so cray cray that in 2010, new users crashed the whole webserver trying to sign up.

Minecraft is like interactive virtual LEGO, AKA awesome!

Start in Survival Mode to battle baddies while you build your world, or choose Creative Mode to build anything (one legend built a replica of the Starship Enterprise) without the worry of creepers, spiders, zombies and other evil dudes getting in the way.

The best way to start?

Go punch a tree!

By

left mouse-clicking on a tree

(in the PC version) you're cutting the tree down for it's wood, and you can use the logs as building blocks.

Make tools, collect coal and more to create your world!
