It stands to reason that a game that allows you to make anything you want allows you to fulfill the other end of the spectrum. Minecraft is the best game on the market when it comes to being able to just mess about and do whatever you want.

Naturally, the first thing a lot of Minecraft players do - especially if they're playing in creative mode - is build a mountain of TNT crates and then watch as the resulting explosion does to the landscape (and the frame rate) what EA does to any company unfortunate enough to catch its eye.

Even in Survival mode, the ability to destroy nearly everything around you is part of what makes Minecraft the greatest creator sandbox out there. Because it doesn't matter how cool your building materials or how detailed your blueprints are, there's still gonna be stuff in the way that'll need to be moved.

Also, again, it's just fun to blow a gigantic hole in the earth with a bunch of TNT stacked up to the sky. Every Minecraft player has done this at least once, anyone who says otherwise is a damned liar. Minecraft plops you down in its world, shrugs its shoulders when you ask for your purpose, and just sits back and watches as you tear this beautiful landscape to pieces.
