Today we offer you interesting facts about Minecraft. Not everyone knows what is special about this game. So let's see with you how you can lure players.

Feel like an architect

The first thing that may interest the public is the possibilities of creating objects and interiors. After all, interesting mods developed for the Minecraft project are aimed specifically at construction. Thus, you can create a dwelling or a farm for yourself that will repeat the real interior as accurately as possible.

There are mods that allow you to change furniture and make appliances for the decor. As a rule, if you use the same materials with certain additions as in the "usual" creation of decor and interior elements, then their appearance will be slightly changed in better side... So the game has the ability to create different stools, cribs, chairs, tables and tables. Funny, isn't it? But this is where the interesting facts about Minecraft are just beginning. Let's see what else you can do with yourself.

Cheerful farmer

In addition to building a house and creating furniture, the game has a lot to do. Of course, you can just run around the world and explore it. But it soon gets boring. Then you can build a spacious pen near your home and feel like a real farmer. Let's try to figure out what this is about.

The thing is that in the game you have a great opportunity to grow seeds and tame animals. For example, you can have sheep, chickens, cows or piglets. From them, in turn, it is very easy to get many resources that just do not exist in nature. The game also has the ability to tame a horse. It will help you move faster.

Of course, the fact that you can get yourself a puppy or a kitten is also interesting. True, for this you will need to look for wolves (if you want a dog) or ocelots (option with a cat). After that, "strike up a friendship" with them. Then taming will become available. By the way, cats have their own character, which they will begin to show. For example, lying on beds or tables. This is their favorite pastime. So be prepared for such surprises. But this is not the only interesting facts about Minecraft. What else is there?

Defense and traps

So let's talk about one more feature of the game. Naturally, you can independently create different weapons and even make traps. If you are thinking about what is interesting in Minecraft, try wandering around the world, gathering resources and creating complex mechanism- a trap. For example, a miracle box or a bottomless pit.

As a rule, the player has to think carefully about various little things, because the world of "Minecraft" is filled with creatures that have their own habits and character. So study possible options and elements for "building", and then get to work. But that's not all. Interesting Facts about "Minecraft" are connected with the course of the gameplay. We are talking about different "surprises" that the game has prepared. Which ones? Let's try to find out.

Jokes

  • You are probably already familiar with explosives and water in the game. So, if you try to undermine TNT in a liquid, then not a single block will be destroyed. This is because in Minecraft water extinguishes fire. Here's a surprise.
  • Spiders are the only creatures that "get wild" at night and become "kind" during the day.
  • When falling, all animals take damage. Except for felines. So if a kitten or an ocelot "crashes" from somewhere, he will not even notice it.
  • The bow is a pretty interesting weapon. Depending on the tension, you inflict different damage on them. Interestingly, at "maximum" one arrow can break an entire minecart!
  • Finding the most common pumpkin in the game is much more difficult than digging up diamonds for yourself. By the way, you can pay with the villagers with jewelry.

1. The first version of Minecraft was created in just six days.

In 2009, Swedish programmer and designer Markus Persson (better known to fans by the affectionate nickname Notch) decided to create a sandbox game that would allow free and easy to explore virtual world, and at the same time create your own new company, called Mojang AB.

Persson began work on Minecraft on May 10, 2009 and contributed last changes into the game on May 16 of the same year. The alpha version of Minecraft was released the very next day.

2. The game was not considered complete for another two years.

After the release of Minecraft on PC, Mojang periodically released updates to the game, announcing full version games only on November 18, 2011.

3. The first name of the toy was not Minecraft.

When Persson first started developing the game, he named the project "Cave Game". And only after a while it grew into Minecraft name: First, the project was renamed Order of the Stone, and then finally just Minecraft.

The Minecraft developer draws inspiration from other PC video games: Dwarf Fortress, Dungeon Keeper, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and Infiniminer. Persson also paid special tribute to Infiniminer, saying that he wanted his game to match the aesthetic level of this adorable RPG game.

5. Creation of creepers - code error.

One of the weirdest Minecraft characters is the creeper, an electrically charged hissing predator. Person didn't really think about creating such a monster, he just wanted to create a pig, but accidentally mixed up the coordinates of the height and length in the code. The result of such a mistake was a monster that many players know and love.

6. Enderman's language is English in reverse order.

A very interesting character in Minecraft is Enderman. This creature's speech is almost incomprehensible to human ear, but in most of his exclamations one can see english words and phrases (including “hiya”, “here”, “this way”, “forever”, and “what’s up?”) sounded in reverse order.

7. Jasts are voiced by a dozing cat.

Another monster from Minecraft owes its voice to a real creature. Perhaps every player remembered Just's piercing howl, but you never know the story of his creation. It all started when music producer Daniel Rosenfeld, known as C418, accidentally made an audio recording of a dozing cat. It was previously planned that the voice of the ocelot would be the voice of Just, but the purr mixed with the meow cleared all the questions.

8. The huge role of MINECRAFT in one of the Swedish schools ...

IN 2013 high school named after Victor Rudberg in Stockholm introduced Minecraft as a mandatory part of its curriculum for all 13-year-old students. The teachers tell what the game teaches the students: "They will learn about environmental issues, about creating objects, and even how to plan for the future."

9. Denmark and MINECRAFT

Sweden's southern neighbor has expressed an even greater affection for Minecraft. In 2014, Simon Kokkendor and Thorbjörn Nielsen, both employed by the Ministry environment created an exact scale replica of Denmark in Minecraft to increase interest in the geographic data of their home country.

10. The popularity of the game is the work of free marketing.

According to a study by Alex Levitt of the Annenberg School of Communication, a third of the first Minecraft users first heard about the game from friends, and another third started the game after watching a YouTube video.

11. Finite endless world.

In 2011, Persson wrote on his personal blog about the boundaries of the supposedly previously limitless world of Minecraft:
“Let me be clear about a few things about 'infinite' cards: they are not infinite, but in this world there are no hard limits on anything. This allows you to get more and more the further away you are. The landscape is generated, saved and loaded, and partially displayed (size 16 * 16 * 128 blocks). These pieces can move. If you go outside this range (about 25% of the distance from where you are now), old pieces start to be overwritten. "

12. A few words about the devoted fan and the endless quest.

Players need to travel roughly 7,500 miles before they can witness a major coding crash. This virtual wasteland became known in the game as "Far Lands."

After a blog post about Far Lands, gamer Kurt J. Mack decided to reach the end of the world called Minecraft. He started his quest in March 2011. And this is not a waste of time; Mac has earned quite a bit of YouTube fame, and has raised over $ 250,000 for a charitable foundation.

13. The Minecraft avatar has unique features.

Naturally, Persson reserved another trick as a personal avatar for Minecraft. It manifests itself only in the game, when the character dies, then ... apples fall out of him.

14. The opening of trading on Minecraft began with a tweet.

After announcing that he was tired of corporate politics, the notorious video game developer sent out tweets in June 2014, hoping to raise demand for Mojang shares. Three months later, he officially sold the company to Microsoft for $ 2.5 billion.

15. Incorrect spelling of the name of your own game.

In one case out of 10,000, the incorrect spelling of the name of the game itself flashes in the game menu. The letters "E" and "C" are swapped to create a new name - Minceraft.

From the very first days of its appearance, Minecraft has gained such unprecedented popularity that even the most advanced developers computer games began to ask the question: "How is this possible?" The main creator of this virtual entertainment, Markus Persson, who is also known as Notch, did not at all seek to attract players with stunning graphics and intricate storyline. The main point of the game is to create your own world from many elementary blocks, while repelling the attacks of various monsters. For several years of its existence, some interesting facts about Minecraft have accumulated, which even seasoned gamers do not even suspect.

1. Several years after the release of his creation, Notch still continues to receive about $ 370,500 daily, which is equivalent to five brand new BMW X6s.

2. On the favorite holiday of Markus Alexey Persson - his birthday, which he celebrates on June 1, in the main menu of all Minecraft clients the inscription appears: "Happy Birthday Dear Notch!".

3. Every hour more than 1000 people log into numerous Minecraft servers from just one licensed account. For a month, all this number exceeds the mark of more than 240 million players from all over the world!

5. Do you think that Minecraft is just another "toy"? You are wrong. So, one of the secondary schools in Stockholm (Sweden) called Viktor Rydborg School introduced permanent lessons on this game for all thirteen-year-old students. But here the most interesting facts about Minecraft are just beginning.

6. It is very curious that the game was originally called Cave Game, and only later the name was changed to the ambiguous "Order of the Stone". And only at the very end of its creation, virtual entertainment received the name Minecraft. At the same time, the very first blocks in the game were grass and stone, and the gameplay itself was a simulator of small caves.

7. In the earliest versions of the game, skeletal archers used special purple arrows. And in the client of the 2009 game, there was a special mob - the Giant Zombie. Its size even exceeded some rocks, and it could only be killed by attacking the monster in the legs. At the same time, the level of health and damage of the giant zombie was simply enormous.

8. During the time that you spent reading this offer, 500 licensed copies of the game were purchased.

9. In some official versions of Minecraft there is also an iron golem that protects the peaceful inhabitants of the settlements. It is interesting that sometimes he gives flowers to his wards.

10. An interesting opportunity to throw chicken eggs was added to the game after a funny incident. One of the Minecraft fans told Markus Persson that if such a feature is added to the gameplay, the gamer will eat his computer USB cable. Notch almost immediately made an innovation to the game, and the player had to keep his promise.

These turned out to be the most interesting facts about Minecraft and the process of its creation. But this is only a small part of those exciting events that can happen to you during the game itself. As you can see, virtual entertainment can be much more interesting than it is commonly believed.
