It’s simple: Minecraft is whatever you want it to be. ![]() So why is Minecraft so popular?įrom your dream home to pirate boats straight out of history, Minecraft lets your imagination run wild. Minecraft has little plot, the graphics are basic (though we think they’re cool looking) and it rarely tells you what to do next.
