The lengths you go to in order to get to the Nether represents the real damage you can cause in the pursuit of a fix. Navigating the dangerous mobs is about overcoming these obstacles while you chase after the Ender Dragon (representing drugs). They sneak up on you and blow your entire world apart almost without warning. Meanwhile, Creepers a physical representation of depression. Zombies are the hostile crowds that can’t understand you or empathize with your issues. Skeletons are the mistakes that you made that continue to haunt you. Bats and spiders represent the unknown and creatures that don’t behave in predictable ways. However, when you’re ready, you can turn survival mode on and face the monsters within. In peaceful mode, you’re free to explore without worrying about mobs. The game has an incredibly relaxing atmosphere with soft, comforting music.

Gamers flocked to the open world sandbox and went absolutely crazy. Minecraft exploded into popularity long before it exited its beta stage.
