Short answer:
Minecraft is well programmed game which can be an open world infinity worlds infinity possible everything can be at minecraft, datapacks, texturepacks, multiplatform, realms, servers, minecraft is a open-world game which you can do ANYTHING is impossible flying to the sun, build dream houses to the dangerous mobs in the midnight

Long answer:

Explore infinite worlds and build everything from the simplest of homes to the grandest of castles. Play in creative mode with unlimited resources or mine deep into the world in survival mode, crafting weapons and armor to fend off dangerous mobs. Create, explore and survive alone or play with friends on all different devices.

Slash commands - Tweak how the game plays: you can give items away, summon mobs, change the time of day, and more.

Add-Ons - Customize your experience even further with free Add-Ons! If you're more tech-inclined, you can modify data-driven behaviors in the game to create new resource packs.




P.S I got the long answer from the appstore ;)

Minecraft is such an amazing game if you never played it before then what are you doing with your life Minecraft is constantly updated that means that tons of new items and features are added into the game and if that isn't enough the game is extreme moddable changing your experience and gameplay and there are little, small changes that you can add into the game like shader packs and resource packs. Minecraft must be one of the best sandbox games in all time.

tbh i'd like to see all the variants ( 'forge', 'fabric', 'paper' etc) all come bundled with minecraft. the possibilities of fun would be endless

hmmm if the commands like /gmc /jail etc come from essentialsx plugin to vannila that would be nice

Vanilla wise, I'd say it's quite good, but factoring in the confusing numbers of plugins and whatnot that achieve the same/similar purposes (WorldEdit, VoxelSniper, Schematica vs Litematica, Spigot vs Fabric), it becomes a bit difficult to track them all down and choose which one to use. I remember the time when there used to just be one indisputably good option, rather than a number of 'decent' ones...

Good.. xd
