Take control of the mayhem with mob farms: mass-produce your own zombies, spiders, creepers, and skeletons
Build in any style that inspires you: medieval, Victorian, Viking, Japanese, modern, suburban, you name it
Create natural-looking terrain and trees, decorate with 2D pixel art, and build 3D statues
Construct smarter, more efficient power and transportation systems
Take Minecraft into the industrial and nuclear age... even go green with solar energy and wind farms
Add computer systems and robotics control with ComputerCraft and Lua
Create and share exciting adventure maps and learn the secrets of CommandBlocks
Share your creation with the world via pro-quality video and audio
