How to downgrade Minecraft Windows 10 edition

Minecraft is a video game that requires players to create and break apart different types of blocks in three-dimensional worlds. It was created in 2009 by a video game development studio based in Sweden known as Mojang. Later on, Microsoft acquired it. It can be plainly described as a world made of blocks. Minecraft is an open-ended game that lets a player revisit it over and over again.

Minecraft gives players the freedom to build anything they want. Therefore, it can be said to be a game of infinite possibilities. The game has two main modes, which are the Creative and Survival modes.

In the Creative mode, players do not have to eat to survive, but they can break all kinds of blocks instantly, for they do not need to interact with them, as is the case with Survival mode.

In Survival mode, players are required to look for their food as well as supplies for buildings. In addition, they interact with block-like mobs or moving creatures. (Zombies and Creepers are among the most dangerous creatures players interact with while playing).

This game does not have any levels, or does it give players any points. There are no set paths to follow or any rigid objectives to guide a player. This is because the game’s main objective is to build, explore, and encourage players to be more creative to make the game as interesting as they would desire.

The interesting thing about Minecraft is that it also doubles as an educational tool apart from just being a recreational game. Lessons in math, geometry, physics as well as storytelling are embedded in the game’s principles. This has led to the incorporation of Minecraft into classroom activities by educators.
