Create Your Own Minecraft Server Minecraft was one of the most played video games in 2011. It was created by Mojang, a Swedish company. It has been sold more than 176 million times. Today Minecraft counts more than 112 million monthly active players. Minecraft Instances can be hosted on your own server and you will have complete control over how the game plays. Minecraft is a game that allows you to build a 3-dimensional environment using different blocks. The players must be creative in order to design and build their virtual world. Users can mine and break down nearly every block in Minecraft by drilling and then collecting them. These pieces can be taken apart and reassembled to make new items. The currently available Java Edition allows players to customize the game with mods towards their preferences, creating new gameplay mechanics, items, textures, and assets. There is no one way to play Minecraft. Players can achieve anything they want by themselves. There are however, pre-defined game modes that can be used: Creative Mode, which allows players to build whatever they can imagine from the limitless resources given to them. Survival Mode: Players must explore the world to find natural resources such wood and stones. Players will also need to build a shelter to defend themselves against enemies and find food to survive. Multiplayer mode is available in the game. This allows multiple players to interact and communicate within a single world. Players can either connect to one of the publicly known worlds or build their world with their friends by using a private Minecraft server. Why should I run my own Minecraft server?
