Minecraft is a game that’s achieved monumental success – over 30 million copies, across all its various supported formats, have been sold; not bad for a game which doesn’t really have a point! It’s classified as an Indie Sandbox game, but if it does have a point, it’s to make stuff (and people have really done that!), from fully functioning computers to scale models of the Starship Enterprise. What about Minecraft: Pi Edition? The two best things are that it’s free and it comes with an API – highly unusual features you don’t see with any other version of the game. Using the API, you can make Minecraft your own. You can create mods which will allow you do amazing things, link it up with the real world using the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins, make your own mini-games, or just about anything else you can imagine.
