Over the course of the game's 350 days, Minecraft displays how the player's environment has changed.

In Minecraft's survival mode, players must firsly use wood to chop down trees in order to make the tools they will need to gather more advanced and durable materials. The process is gradual, and part of the fun will be looking back on all the progress you have made. In this open-world survival game, the player's initial farm, storage room, bedroom, and craft room are significant turning points. The first several days are spent searching for a home that would eventually become an island. The island will be expanded to allow for the construction of a second structure and a modest home base. Over time, everything expands to the point that there are numerous farms, a mansion with multiple stories, and even a well for irrigation. In Minecraft, the copper bricks oxidize, gradually transforming the copper roof into a green stunning shade.

In Minecraft, every house is unique (unless the player builds according to the blueprints), and the diversity of cubes accessible allows for players to express themselves aesthetically and creatively. With a simple square house design that can only fit a bed and protect it from nighttime intruders. Others devote a lot of effort to creating elaborate castles, historically accurate recreations of buildings, or expansive mining simulation games. Considerations such as irrigation, lighting, building materials, height, and closeness to water all have a significant impact on gameplay.

Many adjustments that gamers may make throughout their daily time in Minecraft may eventually disappear. Over the course of the game, minor adjustments made to the land with the player, like land bridges or water pools, gradually become a reality of life. This timeframe serves as a pleasant reminder of the beginning and finish of everything. Even if there are deadly monsters in Minecraft and you need to eat frequently, you still have time to express yourself.
