Minecraft is an indie first-person action game where players can gather resources, dig holes, fish, plant crops and more while at night try to avoid monsters. The game revolves around one simple principal: survival. The game is split into day and night cycles. During the day, you spend time gathering resources, whether it be searching for ore, digging holes, fishing or planting crops. Night is spent either indoors, mining underground tunnels, building tools or running around outside being chased by monsters.
