Why Minecraft is Good

It can help you in real life.

In Minecraft, you can build the wonders of the world. You can build the Eiffel tower, the pyramids, the statue of liberty, scenes from different books, the Great Wall of China, the Barrier reef... the possibilities are endless! Experiment with building things to scale. If you've never visited a certain monument, build it on Minecraft! Maybe construct the Lincoln monument on Minecraft. Build the White House and take a video of yourself touring it. Maybe get a friend and act out a scene from a certain book, on Minecraft, in the actual setting from the book, that you built on Minecraft.
Minecraft can be helpful in school. It can provide opportunities for you to build scale models, or for you to visualize certain things. It's a hands-on experience that makes school fun. Get permission from your teachers to do projects using Minecraft. Build your thing first, then use a video program or other software to take a video of your screen while you tour the object. Many Youtubers are rich because they upload Minecraft videos and get money.
Plus, you can get a job using Minecraft! Become a mod programmer, a professional coder, or even test out certain programs. My father was paid money to just test out a certain world and experiment with educational Minecraft uses. You can use Minecraft for almost anything.
