Grab your pickaxe, dodge the Creepers, and prepare to mine your way through a blocky batch of laughs worthy of a diamond stash.

If I could have a penny for every hour that I spent playing Minecraft when I was a teen, I would be a millionaire. I'm not kidding when I say that I used to take my computer to high school and play this wonderful game with all my classmates whenever we had a break. And believe me when I say that, back in those days, it was not common to bring a laptop to school: you only had one at home, and bringing it to school was super risky.

But I was just so obsessed! I love games that have a storyline, and you can continue playing them for a long while until you finish them. In Minecraft, you have to discover the world and mine so you can get crystals and special rocks to build weapons. Most people are not aware of this, but the whole purpose of the game is to find the End World and the dragon. You win the game when you can defeat it. But because he's very powerful and big, you need the best armour and best weapons to even have a chance.

I never managed to achieve this… I never actually found the portal that leads to that side of the world, but I loved the whole process of mining and discovering different caves and parts of the world. Some people said to me that it can get pretty boring, since there's really nothing to do other than mine, but that's what I love the most about it. I even made a little bit of a farm, had my animals and my crops… and lived a normal life, actually.

Nighttime in Minecraft is more complicated since the monsters appear and they can attack you, so you have to find shelter and protect yourself. Anyways… I could spend hours talking about this, but I'm just super excited to share with you this batch of blocky Minecraft memes. If you're like me and loved this game growing up, you'll love these memes!
