'''''[[minecraftwiki:Minecraft|Minecraft]]''''' is a [[List of games|game]] developed by [[minecraftwiki:Mojang Studios|Mojang Studios]]. It is a 3D sandbox game with a blocky aesthetic centered around gathering resources to survive from environmental hazards or hostile mobs, exploring the randomly generated terrain, and creating worlds and sculptures using a variety of colorful blocks and tools, though the objective is largely based on the player's direction.

Mobs make up the creatures that can be found across the world, both friendly and aggressive. Once again, all of them retain the same behaviors and sounds of their original ''Minecraft'' counterparts (e.g. the Hammer Bro-skinned Zombies charge in on players and make moaning noises like Zombies in the base game rather than throwing hammers and emitting their own voice clips like in the ''Super Mario'' franchise), as mash-up packs bear no gameplay differences.
