Minecraft has so many different capabilities and is an open world with lots to discover and explore. These resources help to make sense of it all and eliminate the feeling of being completely overwhelmed when you first play the game. Even if you’re already a Minecraft Pro, these resources are great for learning new things about one of your favorite games.
Minecraft Maps
The best way to expand the world of Minecraft is by downloading and playing one of the tens of thousands of player-created maps that are available. Maps are available in a very wide range of categories — everything from adventure to mini-games. Some maps provide new and challenging game mechanics and some maps simply give you a beautiful and jaw-dropping world to explore at your own pace.

Minecraft Wikis and Forums
Wikis are player-created guides to the game. Minecraft is complex to play and you need to find a lot of the critical information on wikis and in forums. Fortunately, there are several great Minecraft communities to help you find out everything you need to know.

Minecraft Mods
Mods, short for modifications, extend and even sometimes radically change the way Minecraft looks and is played. There are several sites dedicated to listing all of the available mods. Many can be used both in a single-player setting and on a server for multi-player action.
Minecraft Servers
Most players begin their Minecraft playing experience solo, but quickly discover the massive world of multi-player play. There are thousands of dedicated servers for Minecraft. These servers provide a wide variety of gameplay — everything from co-operative challenges to epic player vs. player combat.
Here are some of the most popular Minecraft servers to play. Most are free, although some have paid subscription programs or paid content.
