Minecraft is one of the most popular computer games in the world. This game allows you to develop creativity and spatial thinking. Minecraft has two modes: single player and multiplayer.
Installing Minecraft
Download the installer on the official website of the game Minecraft.net. The paid version costs $ 20, but the free demo version will suffice to get started.
Download and run the Minecraft installer. When setting up, specify the configuration of your computer - operating system, number of cores, RAM. The fact is that a number of game files are downloaded during the installation process. If you do not specify the exact information yourself, this may affect the speed of the game - the system will install the minimum version for "weak" processors.
Single mode
Minecraft is built on the sandbox principle - each player can create a unique virtual reality in single player mode. The possibilities of the gamer are practically unlimited.
After installing the program, you can safely click on the "shortcut" Minecraft. Select Single Player, Learning. Going through the learning process in Minecraft is almost essential - in it, the sandbox game itself will introduce you to the functions of "creating" and "editing" virtual reality. The system also has an "exam", after which you will be able to build your buildings, move objects, create colonies and scripts.
Network mode
To run a multiplayer game, you will need to use special "server" programs. The most popular options for Russian players are Garena Plus and Hamachi.
To configure the network, you need to install the Garena client or the Hamachi utility. Then you need to register in the system (during registration, both Garena-plus and Hamachi require a phone number for sms-authentication).
The system will assign you a "virtual" IP, after which you can go to the "Game panel". Select Multiplayer, Minecraft, Open Room, or Create Room. After that, you can choose a suitable server for a multiplayer game, a character, clans of monsters, etc. At the end, by clicking on the Game Start button, you can start the game.
Add-ons
There are dozens of add-ons and mods for Minecraft that make it easier and faster to solve game problems. Generators can increase the voltage tenfold. Tomahawk axes kill monsters and return to their owner (they work like a boomerang). You can download add-ons for the game on the Minecraft-mods project (see Resources for a link).
