CHAPTER 1 Playing Minecraft is a favorite activity among many young people FUN FACT Very rarely appears Minecraf as misspelled on Minecraft introductory the screen
Block by Block Jordan sits on her bed She opens up her laptop She just finished eating with her parents It’s time to play Minecraft Jordan watches her screen change She enters a new world Everything is made up of 3-D blocks Inside those blocks are materials Jordan can mine the materials She smashes the blocks with her axe Jordan needs to make a new house She starts cutting trees down She is playing in survival mode Her character is getting hungry She needs to find something to eat
Jordan also needs to watch out for enemies Groups of monsters could attack Jordan loses her materials if her character dies When she respawns she has to gather them again Jordan doesn’t have to be in survival mode There’s also creative mode But in creative mode everything is already given to her She doesn’t have to work for anything Students in France built a Minecraft replica of their city
Jordan thinks survival mode is more fun She has to solve problems She feels proud when she builds something It means she found all the materials she needed It feels more like a typical video game Sometimes she plays in creative mode to try new things It’s fun to see what she can make Some players have made replicas of famous buildings and places
