What are some ways to play "Minecraft"?

Minecraft can be played with the goal of completing the main story, or it can be played with the goal of having a fun sandbox experience. The choice is based on the personal preference of the player.

Players can also choose between single player or multiplayer variations for their Minecraft gameplay. While the game can be enjoyed alone, Minecraft also offers the option of being able to play within a group of up to eight different people at a time. This provides a twist on the solo game play by allowing the individual to interact with other players in real time.
