The Minecraft free game

The Minecraft free game gives you a block-building world where gathering and creation sit beside survival. Cut timber, break stone, mine blocks, grow plants, and turn collected materials into homes, sculptures, arenas, or other personal projects.

Survival mode asks you to gather resources, craft equipment, avoid zombies and other hostile creatures, and protect yourself as you explore. Creative mode instead offers unlimited building, flying, and freedom to design large structures without the same survival focus.

Use the mouse to look around and shoot, and use the control key to move your character.

Gather wood, stone, blocks, and plants before using them for construction or crafting.

In survival mode, avoid zombies and other aggressive creatures while collecting resources and working toward stronger equipment.

Choose creative mode when you want to build freely, fly, and shape structures from cube blocks.
