Minecraft has a varied selection of mobs or npc's (naturally spawned creature).

              These are all the mobs in default Minecraft.

Minecraft is a very popular game that people play. It let's you do whatever your mind wants to do. Also, there is no end to the game. Before night falls over the terrain, you need a shelter and tools/resources.                                                                                                                                       


        This is the biome, extreme hills. You will need trees which are at the bottom, Note that you need wood for various tools/blocks. So get  a lot of it.

The game is so popular that people record themselves playing on YouTube.

Titanic


                                               ...R.M.S  TITANIC...


             The R.M.S Titanic was an English Royal Mail Steamer built in Belfast northern Ireland. She was an Olympic-class ocean liner just like her sisters, Olympic and Britannic. The Titanic and Britannic.

 This is the Titanic's last known picture as she sails out of Southhampton.

The Brittanic was larger than her sisters and was hit by a torpedo and fell over on her side and sank. Only 33 people were killed due to proper lifeboats.

The Titanic struck the iceburg at 11:47 p.m. The iceburg tore a gash in her first 5 watertight compartments. As the ship went down, all exept two lifeboats remained. Around the time 2:17 the last two boats, collapsible A and B were swept of the ship as the superstructure plunged under, swallowing the bridge with it. Collapsible was turned over and men struggled to get on. At 2:20 a.m most of the 705 survivors saw the ship go under the sea. The survivors were then rescued by the S.S Carpathia and made a three day trip to arrive at NYC....

Problems with the ship...
1.) minnimun of 18 lifeboats plus four collapsible boats. A, B, C, D.
2.) running at full spead into ice filled area.
3.) first class went first and seerage last to die.
4.) first officer side swiped the burg by accident instead of hitting it head on. (seald compartment in front.)
5.) no binoculars for the lookouts.
