MineCraft is a sandbox-building video game originally by created by Swedish creator Markus "Notch" Persson and now by his company, Mojang. The game was originally released on May 17th 2009 on Microsoft Windows as a development alpha version but has since been ported to iOS, Android and Xbox 360.
The creative and building aspects of Minecraft allow players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world. Other activities in the game include exploration, gathering resources, crafting, and combat. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: survival, which requires players to acquire resources and maintain their health and hunger; and creative, where players have an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no health or hunger.

Trading
The trading system is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to trade emeralds for items (and vice-versa) with NPC villagers.
Enemies
Mobs are the only other form of life in this game other then you, in this game each mob belongs you to a group which decides how they interact with the player. There are passive, hostile, neutral, utility, tameable, boss and unused mobs each of them act as their name implies towards the player.
Servers
