'''''Minecraft''''' is a sandbox survival video game developed by '''Mojang'''.

It was officially released in November, 2011, after multiple beta and alpha updates were pushed, dating back to May of 2009.


== Major Updates ==
* June 2009 update 0.23 brought forth the multiplayer aspect of the game, with the ability to play worlds with other users
* December 2009 update 0.30 added the survival gamemode, giving players the option to choose between survival and creative gamemodes.
* During the Alpha stage from June 2010 to December 2010, users had to begin paying for access to the game. The prices during this time were relatively cheap.
* March 2013 featured the introduction of redstone. This provided a circuitry mechanic much like our electrical circuits. 
* February 2016 combat changes altered sword fighting. This update gives you more critical hits if you let the game reset the sword swing cooldown, removing the spamming that was well known prior to the update.
* Update Aquatic was a long overdue update to the water mechanics. It features more realistic water mechanics and was released in July of 2018.

== Game Modes ==
'''Creative'''

Creative mode allows you to fly around, place blocks, and make structures without needing to gather resources. 

'''Survival'''

Survival mode requires you to gather resources, while also killing mobs to keep your food levels high and survive during the night against Skeletons, Creepers, Zombies, and Spiders.

'''Adventure'''

Adventure mode is similar to the survival mode, except you cannot break or place blocks. This gamemode is used for adventure type maps made by the community which can be downloaded [http://www.minecraftmaps.com/adventure-maps here].

'''Spectator'''

The spectator mode was recently added and can only be achieved if you have permission to use /gamemode
The command will not show spectator as an option but typing "/gamemode spectator" will give you the ability to enter spectator mode. You will appear invisible to all users, being able to travel through blocks at a fast speed.
You cannot break or place blocks, and you cannot attack anything.

==Minecraft Custom Modifications==
Minecraft allows you to customise your full gaming experience.

If you don't like the default Minecraft textures, you can apply a custom texture pack which can be found [http://www.minecrafttexturepacks.com/ here].

There are texture packs ranging from realistic textures to solid color textures which look terrible!

If you want to expand your gaming experience more, you can use [https://files.minecraftforge.net/ Forge] and install some Minecraft [http://www.minecraftmods.com/ mods] which allows you to do some custom things outside of the vanilla game. 

A great mod you should try is the [http://www.9minecraft.net/pixelmon/ Pokemon mod] called Pixelmon! This uses Pokemon logic in the Minecraft world, allowing you to roam around, visit Pokecenters and Pokemarts to heal or purchase items. You can also travel to different towns, catching Pokemon, battling trainers and also gym leaders. There are dedicated servers for this mod as well!

==Optifine==
[https://optifine.net/ Optifine] is a great addon to your Minecraft experience since it gives you more options to enhance your FPS etc. Since Minecraft capes are essentially impossible to retrieve now, using Optifine allows you to purchase capes for money to roam the multiplayer worlds and show off your custom capes.

Please note only players using the Optifine client will see your capes.

==Shaders==
Shaders is an enhancer which makes your Minecraft world seem real-life. It changes your lighting effects, water textures, tree movements etc. You can either install them as a mod using Forge or with Optifine.

Please note you will need a good graphics card to run this and still have 60fps at 1080p resolution.

==Minecraft Servers== 
Minecraft servers were introduced in the July 2009 update, enabling users to play together. 

As of 2018, there are over 410,000 Minecraft servers registered on [http://minecraft-server-list.com/ Minecraft Server List] which are '''active'''.

Our top three popular Minecraft server picks are:
*Mineplex
*Hypixel
*Skycade
