Minecraft is a sandbox-building[2][3] independent video game originally created by Swedish creator Markus "Notch" Persson and now developed by his company, Mojang. In 2011, Jens Bergensten, also known by his pseudonym Jeb, took full creative control over Minecraft[4].
Minecraft is focused on creativity and building, allowing players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. Gameplay in its commercial release has two principal modes: Survival, which requires players to acquire resources themselves and maintain their health and hunger; and Creative, where the player has an unlimited supply of resources, the ability to fly, and no health or hunger. A third gameplay mode, named Hardcore, is essentially the same as Survival, but the difficulty is locked on the hardest setting and respawning is disabled, forcing the player to delete his or her world upon death. An outdated Classic version is also available for free, although it is no longer being developed. Creative Minecraft resembles Classic, but with many more features.
The gameplay is heavily inspired by Infiniminer by Zachtronics Industries,[5][non-primary source needed] and Dwarf Fortress by Bay 12 Games.[6]
Minecraft was released as an alpha on May 17, 2009,[7] with a beta version on December 20, 2010.[8][9] Official versions for iOS[10] and Android have been released and the full version of the PC game was released on November 18, 2011 at MineCon 2011. The Android release was temporarily exclusive to the Xperia PLAY but is now available to the rest of the Android Market.[11][12] On May 9, 2012, Minecraft was released on Xbox 360 as a live arcade game, it is co-developed by 4J Studios
Blockland is a multiplayer computer game built on the Torque Game Engine, in which players build using Lego-like building blocks.[1] It was developed by Eric "Badspot" Hartman and was released on February 24, 2007.[2] The game is not endorsed by, or affiliated with the Lego brand. However, at one point, Lego was in talks with Eric about selling Blockland.[3] It was spotlighted on The Screen Savers[4] on February 11, 2005, drastically increasing the user base overnight.
Minecraft: $25
Blockland: $19.99
Minecraft community: Not bad, but in multiplayer there are griefers who will destroy peoples' hard work, and modifications made by users can be installed to help stop griefing.
Blockland community: Blockland has good and bad servers, with good and bad hosts. If you want to avoid idiotic, pointless servers, try not to join Town RPs, or Family RPs.
Minecraft administration: Users can host servers, and moderate those servers, except within Minecraft, it's called Op, or, Operating powers. Users can also use /op [name] to make another Minecraftian on the server into an op.
Blockland administration: Users can host servers, and moderate those servers, except within Blockland it's Admin, or Administration, or Super Admin. Super admin is what the host's rank is, and the server will automatically administrate the host when the game starts. Super admins cannot be kicked, or banned, and have a much higher respect level, compared to a normal Admin.
Also, I like Minecraft AND Blockland.
