Game mechanics let you mine blocks and craft items to build structures. I always start by punching trees to get wood, then make planks for shelter. This loop of gathering and building is the core of the game.
Creating a free account lets you play online with friends on mobile and windows 10. You can explore the marketplace, use slash commands, and join multiplayer servers without cost, which gives you access to community maps and skins. I think you can play free.
While playing, you navigate using simple controls to mine resources and build structures. The game has an intuitive interface, which is kinda weird anyway, for both beginners and seasoned players. You can press buttons to craft tools, and their is a creative mode for endless resources. I use the controls to build.
Quick tip: build a shelter before nightfall, then you can survive against hostile creatures. I discovered that using crafting recipes helps create advanced tools and weapons. This is based on the survival mode mechanic of gathering materials. I think it is simple then expected.
