All About Minecraft For Families
Minecraft is fast becoming one of the most popular video-games in history. We asked journalist Jordan Erica Webber to explain why her family had recently been avidly playing with Minecraft.

As my twelve-year-old brother told me with disdain a couple of months ago, the hot topic in the playground these days is Minecraft. I didn’t understand it. I’d tried to play the PC version back when friends were talking about it, but had never got the hang of what I was supposed to do. However, now both of us play. In fact, most of my brothers and sisters are in on the action, and we sometimes spend hours playing Minecraft together. We’ve joined the ranks that are currently made up of more than 11 million PC players, more than 10 million mobile device players (and that was in April), and more than 7 million Xbox 360 players. It’s difficult to tell from the outside what makes Minecraft so popular. In fact, it’s difficult to tell what the game even is. If you try to watch your child over their shoulder, you might see them digging a hole in the ground, or hitting a sheep with a sword, or setting something on fire, and you’ll probably have no idea why they’re doing any one of those things. If you try to play for yourself, as I did some time ago, you’ll find your avatar stood in the middle of a procedurally generated (different each time) blocky world, with no instructions to give you a hint of how to proceed. But this lack of instruction is actually what makes Minecraft interesting. Minecraft is an electronic game, but it’s more like the toys of the past, where children made their own fun. Minecraft is the Lego of the video game world, and not even a Lego set with instructions on how to make a Death Star but a box of assorted Lego pieces for which you have to use your imagination. In fact, the analogy with Lego is even more apt because of the way you actually play Minecraft. That blocky world is made up of separate pieces that you can break off just like you can break off a Lego piece and use to build something new: grass pieces, wood pieces, rock pieces, and much more. Since these blocks are all the same size, you can rearrange them to form whatever you like: a house, a statue, a mountain with a forest on top and a waterfall running down its side.

Why is Minecraft server hosting so popular? A professional data center hosting provider offers a modern infrastructure. It is a reliable and easily scalable network, the latest security features, continuous support, and flexibility in expanding hardware. VPS virtual servers are relatively inexpensive and offer the latest technology tools, which means you will have adequate resources at an affordable price.
