When multiplayer arrived, the world of Minecraft changed completely. The multiplayer function allowed players to connect through LAN or over the internet.
For the first time, you could see another player in your world, build something together, or fight side by side.
It transformed Minecraft from a personal sandbox into a shared experience.
With servers, players began hosting their own worlds. These servers weren't just copies of the base game.
Rather they introduced custom mods, unique game modes, and different challenges, expanding the game's possibilities and creating entire communities.
They had their own rules, custom worlds, and player-made systems. People could join these public or private servers and become part of a community.
Player versus player combat became a feature. This made things more exciting since players were not just fighting monsters but also competing with each other.
