What the hell is Minecraft ?

I need to stress this point Minecraft is not just the kids, there are very many adults hooked on Minecraft and active in playing online games and developing custom maps for others to use.
This game is described as a “sandbox game” which basically means that players can create their own environments and experience. It’s a virtual world which starts as a basic framework for anyone to build upon using the resources available within the game and combining resources in recipes to produce new resources.
