Technically, there are no rules in Minecraft. The controls of the game are rather simple. You can move your character forward with the "W" key, backward with the "S" key, and side to side with keys "A" and "D". Minecraft is beautifully simple and does not require much skill to play. Players advance through the game by obtaining various elements such as; coal, iron, silver, gold and diamond through mining. The game could be made more engaing by adding some sort of quest or storyline.
