This Indie game is brilliant. The way the game works is outstanding. The survival mode is the best in my opinion with you having to find your own way through Forests, Jungles, Deserts and Snow biomes in the game collecting resources and fighting off mobs. Also, the creative mode is a fantastic way to design buildings and get to grips with the complex redstone systems. Many ameteur developers are crwating fantastic modifacations for the game that are easily installed. Also, the thousands of different HD texture packs that are available for download allows you to change the llok of your worlds and projects with the click of a button. I think that this game is made a lot better by the huge amounts of customisation that is available. This is a tremendous game and recommend anyone to buy it for its very reasonabl price. This is why I give it a rating of 9.
