Minecraft is a game about many things but it’s also a game about love. At least, to me it is. Every house you built or farm you tilled or cave you explored or Ender dragon you slayed was about love. It was about creating memories, ink pressed to the thin, wisping pages of history, drying while you laugh and battle and roam this digital endless landscape together. You keep starting over with the people you love because this space doesn’t exist anywhere in your world or theirs. You do it because of love. Do you understand?
