Minecraft: Minecraft is one of the most famous games in the world, and it has so far been able to withstand some of the most powerful modern games. It is a really crazy game, its graphics are not as strong as you think, and everyone can play it. Nevertheless, it provided the users with a pleasant atmosphere. Perhaps now you are playing this game, have tried it before, or are about to try it. Before you do that, we invite you to check out the content of this article, which will give you 10 different and amazing facts about Minecraft.
First… What is Minecraft?
Minecraft, or Minecraft, is a game developed by Mojang Studios, developed in 2009, but its full release did not take place until 2011. By 2014, Microsoft acquired the rights to the game for 2.5 billion dollars, while Mojang studio kept developing it permanently. Normal.
Minecraft is an open world survival game. In it you take your own character, then you have to search, build and excavate to make your own base, build different things in the game, find different resources, and defeat the Mobs and monsters in the game. It is a very open world game, and it includes different places such as mountains, caves, under the sea, in forests, plains, and more. This made it not boring while playing, as you are able to craft a lot of things within the game, and unleash your creativity through the Creative Mode in the game.
Now that you have an introduction to the game, here are 10 different Minecraft facts that you might not have known.
1 – The entire Minecraft game was developed in just 6 days
It takes even years to develop big games, games like Cyberpunk (launched in 2020) have been in development since 2012. GTA V (launched in 2015) has been in development since 2012 based on the source of previous versions. But the Minecraft game completely violated the rules, as the first version of the game was developed within 6 days and with the cooperation of only two people.
We indicated that the game began to be developed in 2009, but its official release did not take place until 2011. The first version included the look of the last version of the game, and the differences between the first version, which took 6 days to develop and the final version, was only an increase in the number of resources, weapons and materials that you can craft (Crafting) within the game. Therefore, the idea of developing a massive game like Minecraft with a basis that was developed in just 6 days, is a well deserved achievement.
2 – There is no specific age to play Minecraft
She owns most, if not all, video games. Popular games such as GTA, CyberPunk, The Witcher, and others all have a PG rating over 18 years old, meaning they are not recommended for people under this age. But Minecraft has no age limit to play. In fact, Minecraft PG is 7 years old. The reason for this is due to the Mobs or monsters in the game, which may frighten people under this age.
However, the developers of Minecraft announced another mode called Peace Mode, which is similar to the Survival mode in the game, the only difference is that it does not include any monsters at all. Thus, the PG of the game is 3, which means that a four-year-old child can now play Minecraft.
3 – Minecraft map is the second largest in the gaming world
What open world games have you tried? Is it the Assassin’s Creed series? Or The Witcher? Or Skyrim? Or GTA? What if I told you that the maps of all these games don’t even make up 10% of the entire Minecraft map. In numbers, the area of the map for Minecraft is 4,096,000,000 square kilometers, and it is the second largest map among all the video games out there at the moment. So far, no one has been able to roam the whole Minecraft space yet (we’ll mention this in the next info).
However, you may be wondering, if the Minecraft map is the second largest in the gaming world, then what is the largest game in the world? The answer is No Man’s Sky, and the reason for this is that it has an artificial intelligence system that renders the planets and maps itself, making it literally endless worlds and maps.
4 – One day in Minecraft is equivalent to 20 minutes in the real world
Like most games today, day and night alternate in Minecraft, but what you may not know is that one day in Minecraft is equivalent to 20 minutes in the real world. So, if you’ve been playing Minecraft and find yourself spending a day in the game, now you know how much time you’ve actually spent in it.
5 – Minecraft has been a positive haven for autistic people
There are other people in this world that we should pay attention to, including those with autism. There is virtually no cure for autism, but it can be controlled through a range of behaviours. Minecraft was one such behavior studied at the University of California. The basic idea was to create a server called Autcraft (an amalgamation of Autism Minecraft). Accessing the server requires you to fill out a form and then wait for your acceptance before accessing the server (the server is also monitored by Kate Ringland, a researcher in charge at the University of California).
Through it, people with autism meet in the game, and then enjoy building, creating, and trying to overcome their disability through the game. Over time, it has shown good results in communicating between players with autism and the average person, and we can literally say that Minecraft has been able to help them without a doubt. (The problem with the autistic is that he finds it difficult to communicate with the other, but Minecraft created a kind of connection between the injured and ordinary people).
