Its pretty much what the description tells, but there is so more to tell about it.
but first a little 1:30 minute video (1:24 but you need a few seconds to get away the tears because its so beautiful) I found this the other day, and it lets you can see how Minecraft looks like. Plus its a fucking awesome video.
All rights to whoever the owner of the video is and jada jada.
First i am going to tell you all about the Classic game play, It is a bit different from Beta, i prefer Beta because i am more in to the survival part. Classic is more about building incredible buildings and art.
In classic you don't have to think about getting attacked by Mobs. There is no health bar, so falling from high places will not do anything. In Beta you have to work to get the blocks, and what not (swords and stuff) But in Classic you have an inventory with unlimited blocks and an entire world just for you without animals and Monsters. Some Blocks are only available in Classic and vise versa. Classic single, and multi player is free online, but it is the Beta you pay for. Only 9 bucks and its 9 bucks worth spending if you like sandbox games.
This is what a randomly made map in Beta might look
like. Health bar and action bar at the bottom, and the
players arm in the sight of himself.
The minecraft graphics is not the best to say the least. But Notch still managed to make it look awesome. You can also put skins and texture packs in the game, but more on that later.

A thing that happens in minecraft worlds sometimes,
is cliffs like this, the whole world you play in is randomly
made just for you. The map has all kinds of environments
called Biomes, they are similar to the ones we have IRL. but more on that later.
^2
The player has been playing for a while now, he got
himself some stuff. Right now, he is making himself an
axe. As you can see there is some sticks and stones.
place them in the workbench and viola, you got yourself
an axe. axes is only used on wood, but i use them on leaves as well.
Beginners can have a really hard time finding out how to build the different kind of stuff. But after some time, they are just stuck in your head. If that's not the case, remember Google is your friend

Leave me alone :( i just want to survive for one night.
Yes this will be what you cry out, when the night falls. (i know i did)
This is one of the 12 different Mobs found in minecraft. Some will attack you and some wont. Its obvious to see whose bad and whose good/neutral.
But don't worry, a simple punch or too will knock him
off his feet. although there is faster ways to kill him like swords and bows.

Did he damage you? Then you might consider killing this badboy.
Its a pig....he may be fucking ugly and annoying when he is in the way but he drops pork chops, and you can cook them in a
furnace and then eat it to gain your life back. One of many ways
to make food in minecraft Beta. Fishing is another option (which i prefer)
^5
This is an (iron)sword, swords is used to kill Mobs. It is a faster way then punching, or using another object that's not meant to it. Weapons comes in multiple forms or whatever. You can make Wood swords which is the weakest one. Stone swords is what you will use at first, in a long period of time, until you get iron so you can make iron swords. and finally DIAMOND swords, which is a rare case to obtain (unless you are a cheater)
you can also make gold swords, but they have no use except for being pretty, because they give the same amount of damage as wood. Bows is a good weapon to have if you don't want to get in close combat with Mobs, but every time an arrow hits its gone forever. unless it hits a block of some sort, then you can just pick it up again.
