For me being a teenager who plays Minecraft which doesn't exactly make you one of the quote unquote "Cool" kids(In my opinion that whole cool kid thing is a stupid ideology but that is for a whole different post ;P.) I often get the "I don't know what people see in that game it is just a game of blocks." Yes I know shame on thee who dares to even think those words. I have decided to make an article to show why I still play Minecraft after all these years.

To me Minecraft is more then a block game. It is a game with infinite possibilities ex. plugins, mods. etc. Since there is obviously confusion on why people like the game so much I decided to make an article on putting this to rest...for now.

1: Plugins. Most people who play Minecraft play on servers with plugins whether they know what plugins are or not. Minigames are amazing, and I am definitely not the only one who thinks this. Going on Hypixel or Mineplex(List which one is your favorite in the comments, I am curious) and playing with some friends whilst being in a skype call taunting each other on how bad they fail is so enjoyable. Playing factions and not knowing what is going to happen next is a thrill that I live for. Plugins make up so much of the minecraft server community and the ideas for them are endless.

2:Mods. May I just say CrazyCraft is amazing. The greatest time is when you are playing a modpack that has a live server. You are playing with other people with a minecraft extension, so a lot of people have no idea what they are doing, and they are noobs just like when you first start playing minecraft. You have warfare,magic,zombies, and the list goes on. It just shows that minecraft is a game that can transform into anything!

3: Sometimes both are in one. Mods, and Plugins. Try playing a warfare modpack, and then on top of that factions. Do you know what that equals....AWESOMENESS. Or playing a server with a Skyblock plugin, but on top of that they have Tekkit. It gives you so many more challenges then regular Skyblock because you won't get bored nearly as easily.

As you see Minecraft is not just a block game, and these points that I have listed are so truthful. They completely blow the "Just a block game" argument out of the water. Minecraft to me is beyond a game. It is a starting point for something great you can add to, and a lot of people agree. If Minecraft was "Just a block game" no one would be playing it like people are now.

Thanks for reading. If you have any advice or things you would like to add on to what makes Minecraft more then just a block game please leave it in the comments below. If you enjoyed feel free to give me a Diamond. If you want me to write about something you are interested in comment below(I will only write about it if it fits my interest too) -Jos

Minecraft is a sandbox game, which makes it unique.

I like how you think Jos, and in my opinion All of that is true and I have heard so many Conversations at school on the topic you have discussed: "Minecraft is stupid it's just blocks and blocky animals and inanimate objects!" But minecraft will always be a passion I posses and this artical proves more facts about how far minecraft can go.

I like how you don't actually talk about Minecraft itself. I'm guessing that you dislike single-player and vanilla which is pretty much the core of this game.

I was trying to prove a point on how it is not just a block game...I played vanilla minecraft for 2 years so In my opinion I have the right to talk about different versions ^^ and how Minecraft can be different. Thanks for commenting.

But if you don't talk about the core of a game then you're not talking about the game. You're talking about community-generated content of the game.

Okay you obviously haven't noticed the very essence of my blog post- so I will explain. It was showing the other things you can do with minecraft other then just vanilla minecraft. This is an example of topics you can bring up when you get in said arguement of is it just a block game.

But you're not talking about the game. You're talking about what people have made on the game. You can't defend a game if you don't talk about the very game itself.
