Minecraft is a gaming superstar that continues to be played both casually and professionally and people adding their own takes👍 on it like Paper Minecraft. You're returning to the world of the game but experiencing it from a different perspective.👍 This time, Minecraft is a 2D platforming affair that has eliminated a whole dimension.

It also runs quite👍 well on the browser so you can try all a manner of experiments and ideas as you prepare for exploring👍 the 3rd dimension at some point in the future.
About Paper Minecraft
There's a lot to enjoy from the act of just👍 stacking things on top of each other. Even though Minecraft can be seen as an advanced and complex version of👍 stacking blocks, there's still the same enjoyment. By making it 2D, the experience becomes something like Terraria but with the👍 blocky movement of Minecraft to make it authentic. There are even elements in place to make learning and starting the👍 game much easier to give a sense of empowerment. Even if you do mess up, half the joy is building👍 it all back up again when you return.
How to Play
Paper Minecraft tries to capture the gameplay of the original as👍 much as possible. It is however limited to the keyboard and mouse.

There's no goal or objective to the game, it's👍 just a 2D sandbox for you to play in and enjoy. You can go left or right to visit new👍 lands, find new materials, and encounter new creatures. Whether you're on an adventure to slay monsters or just want to👍 build a house, the game accommodates.
Your character has two main stats that appear above their Inventory Bar at the bottom👍 of the screen: Health and Hunger, indicated by hearts and meat respectively. Health drops if you take damage and if👍 it drops to zero, your character dies. Hunger gradually drops and if it drops to zero, your Health will start👍 taking damage. Both stats can be restored by drinking potions and eating food.
Tips and Tricks
The biggest limitation you have is👍 your inventory space so don't take everything you come across just because you can collect it.
