For certain generations, Minecraft is a foundational part of childhood. Akin to learning to ride a bike or losing your first tooth, everyone remembers the first time they encountered a creeper. It’s a bit hard to describe to older and younger audiences the initial phenomenon that was Minecraft. Think of it as you would Pokemon, Fortnite, or Roblox. Things that have dominated the lives and cultures of young people. Personally, Minecraft was the de facto franchise for my generation. I spent my most formative years building bases, exploring new worlds, and crafting armor sets. It started so many friendships and ended just as many. Though I have many former friends, I will never regret the griefing I partook in. It was hilarious.
