Tyler We didn’t know we wanted it until we had it. And then we spent lifetimes punching trees.

Philippa Minecraft rarely sustains my interest for more than a few hours. What I love is seeing what other people have built—I’m far happier as a Minecraft tourist!

Craig My girlfriend and I moved in together in a server before we moved in together in real life. It was a good primer, as our flat is full of spiders.

Ben Minecraft really is what you make it. During my first brush with the game it was a lifestyle simulator, myself and a mate blissfully tending a farm by day and sleeping under the stars by night. As I pushed further into skeleton-infested caves in pursuit of riches it became a dungeon-looter, and once I’d crafted the weapons to fight back, a rollicking actioner.
