I like Mine-dea's, do you? It's another made up word, except this one has been around longer.

STORY MODE?


Undoubtablly, we have probably all thought about this possibility at one time or another. What IF Minecraft had a story mode? Wouldn't that be just awesome? While most players do enjoy the 'create your own adventure' type aspect of the game along with the other statement that 'there are no rules', despite a large number of people playing minecraft for this very reason, a lot of people like the flow of the sub-story if you will. So you build a house, mine obsidian, go to the nether, kill some blazes, go back and kill some endermen, make an eye of ender, search through a stronghold until you come upon your precious portal that leads you to the End. While being both litterally and figurativly, The End has been shown not to be 'The End' of Minecraft itself, because you can just continue on back in your old world, heck, you might even decide to inhabit the End for yourself, as for the Nether. Sure it's all fun and games [litterally, again.], but after a while just building massive cities, taming the the blockly Hell and slaying a dragon gets to the point where you ask 'Why?'.

This presents a problem as to how story mode couldn't work, per-say, because of the multiple and yet empty possibilities as to why Steve has to go on the brave quest, and Mojang created a storyless game probably for this very reason! [pff... The Sweds...] A simple way to create a story whislt not creating a story is to first take what Steve is doing and 'stretch it out' for lack of a better term. Back to the endless possibilities for a second; the story possibilities are endless because Minecraft was created mostly as a free-roam game, so fitting a story into that is really hard, so at the same time there really isn't any story. The question is how to keep minecraft boundry-less while still offering story mode gameplay? That is to make it optional as to when the player has to do them, not keeping them on time limit.

HOW TO SHUT UP THE PROBLEMS


If you've ever played Borderlands, for example, you know the whole game runs on a 'quest' system, not nececarrily a time system. I was playing BL: Pre-sequel the other day, and as I was on the last mission about to defeat the final boss, and it was really hard because I had t-
...


I believe I can fly... While I try to aimlessly flap my wings, let me tell you what I mean, *sigh*, hopefully without spoilers ;-;

So *shirt flys into face*, you'd think that it is pretty intense. almost to the final quest, almost done the game, but then I decided to screw that idea, and go grinding!

Now without spoiler TOO much, I'll explain what is going on. In the game you basically have to save the moon from being blown up by homicidal Dahl soldiers that want to blow it up for no clear reason 'yet'. So basically they are almost about to destory it, when I decide to do some earlier missions to increase my level, this was about 3 hours of doing tons of optional missions...
"They're going to destroy the moon!"
"Really? I'll just go help all these people for extra guns while I wait for my doom!"

The point is, the story missions are in a list when you can do them, and you have to accept them before you can continue on. This system would be good for a game for minecraft IF it had a story mode, because if the player wanted to go solo for a while, he could go out and build an epic city, mind thousands of diamonds and then when he's buffed up, he can come back and continue the story. This ability to put off or avoid the story is what can add a story mode to Minecraft without actually changing the game of Minecraft much itself.

SO WHAT ABOUT STORY COMPLICATIONS?


The story would have to be simple enough to co-encide with the simple-awesomeness of Minecraft, but also it's epic complexity.
If you just arrived here on planet earth, or like most of the PMC population, you just google everything instead of actually retaining most of your information, then allow me to introduce you to a wonderful living brain-busting Hell of a term, called a paradox.
No, I'm not talking about time travel...
