The materials you need for each recipe are faithful to the PC version, and building them is accomplished with a few button presses. At any time you can also open up your inventory and see a basic description of each item, ensuring you never have to open a wiki to enjoy Minecraft.Īlongside these great tips and tutorials, the team behind Minecraft on Xbox has smartly recreated the crafting system.
These work great as a primer for new players, giving them the gist of each material’s use. On top of a substantial tutorial level, which covers all the basics of Minecraft and then even lets you just keep playing in that world, tooltips regularly pop up. The 360 version lacks the free-form Creative Mode of the PC, but its Survival Mode is much more user-friendly. You could never settle anywhere permanently, choosing to be a nomad who simply sets sail on the rivers and seas you encounter, or you can tunnel deep into the earth to harvest whatever treasures you find. How you proceed is up to you you set your own goals, working towards building the basics like shelter, fashioning tools and fighting for survival against the monsters that come out at night. Just like the PC version you create a randomly generated world, dropping in and setting to work with nothing at the start. The 360 version of Minecraft doesn’t coddle you, but it is different from the PC title. The secret of Minecraft’s success isn’t any one component of its design, but rather the way every piece of it coalesces to create an experience that’s more liberating and creatively fulfilling than most video games. Sure, you can play through the Xbox version and churn out achievements, but the point of playing Minecraft – the very reason it sinks its claws into you and won’t let go – is because it’s just so rewarding to set your imagination free. But that isn’t what Minecraft is about anyways.
It’s true, there is no real way to “beat” it, even though the XBLA version doesn’t have the end content developer Mojang added to the PC version. Some people don’t think Minecraft’s much of a game.
