Today we are going to know more about the game.

Blocks

Blocks are the cubes such as dirt, sand, gravel, stone, cobblestone and more.

Blocks stops mobs from getting through it and sometimes seeing through it.

Leaf blocks can be seen through in fancy graphic.

Physics Simulated Blocks

Sand, gravel and ender dragon's eggs are physics simulated, they drop if the block below them is empty.

Tools and Weapons

Tools and weapons slowly break when you use them.

The rate of breaking is counted by the times used.

Hitting a mob uses one, using the tool on the correct block uses one, using the tool on the wrong block uses two.

The more you upgrade your tools (by making it with better materials) the higher the efficiency.

Tools and weapons can be made from wood, cobblestone, iron, gold and diamond.
