Minecraft is a game set in a block-based virtual world with two main modes; Creative Mode: Players have unlimited materials, can fly and cannot die or be injured. This mode can be played online with others and has a focus on building, creativity, and free exploration. Hardcore Survival Mode: Players gather resources, manage health/hunger and survive hostile creatures. It cannot be played online. This mode includes progression through upgrades, rare items and boss fights; however if the player dies, the world and its progress is deleted permanently.
