Play in creative mode with unlimited resources or mine deep into the world in survival mode, crafting weapons and armor to fend off the dangerous mobs.

A beautiful landscape might somewhat counterbalance my complete inability to build bases which don't look like a herd of Creepers stampeded through.Explore randomly generated worlds and build amazing things from the simplest of homes to the grandest of castles. Yeah yeah there's a lot to say for going in blind with whatever but damn, some of those look gorgeous places to start out. If this nudges you to finally try Minecraft, hey, Guidesman Ollie can tell you all about best Minecraft seeds for interesting starting points. I've missed out on a few virtual get-togethers with pals during the pandemic because we have different versions of Minecraft and I'll be damned if I buy it twice. And at some point in 2022, PC players who own either version will get access to the other too, through what Mojang call the Minecraft PC Bundle. The PC Game Pass release brings a new unified Minecraft launcher covering Java and Bedrock. It has royally sucked that Microsoft sold the two versions separately. But Bedrock is the cross-platform version, the one which lets you play with folks on consoles and phones, and which has official RTX support if you want that weird shiny raytracing. Java is the original version, the version with all the big mods, the one your PC pals may be more likely to own. I am very glad to see both the Java and Bedrock editions covered. Mojang's build 'em up has been included with the console version of Game Pass since 2019 but was curiously absent from PC subs.
