It’s no secret that Minecraft is wildly popular, and has been for some time. Since its creation in 2009, Minecraft has captured the minds and imaginations of more kids than we can count (and even some adults!) Merchandise, a movie, school educators, and our very own Minecraft camps and classes have caught the fire, and the blaze is only spreading. Perhaps the words “redstone,” “blocks,” and “Enderman” are already staples in your home. Like many parents, you may be worried about exactly how much time your little one is spending on the computer playing a game that looks like it came from the first decades of the internet. Surely it can’t be healthy for them, right? They can’t possibly be learning from just playing, can they? Actually, they can and they are!

What is the point of Minecraft?

Descargar Minecraft Android is an open world sand castle game—that is, a game that allows players to interact in a non-linear way with the environment, while allowing players to manipulate every piece of the landscape. The point of Minecraft is to survive, which includes building, acquiring inventory, and exploring. These activities are supplemented by many creative aspects, making the game fun to play (and as we will get into, potentially great for the mind). There are monsters (mobs) to defeat, and even in multiplayer games there is an endgame that can be achieved (we won't ruin the surprise).
