Download The Minecraft Demo
Minecraft now has a demo. Procrastinating excavators: you no longer have an excuse for skipping our favorite open-world game. It has even branded cows Notch designed for us. These animals are programmed to be voodoo cows. Each PC Gamer editor feels a slight thud when they are punched. Be gentle.
Minecraft is a customisable beast. First, create a custom skin. Or, if you're lazy, download one our favourite custom skins. This will allow you to look great while building.
Next, install some Minecraft Mods. Minecraft is already massive, but why not add airships, muskets and Pokemon ? It's almost guaranteed fun.
Check out our Top Ten Minecraft creations, and get building!

The demo is generous. Each tool, mineral and item can be found. You can dig and frolic in your new world for 90 minutes, before it "locks" to make it uneditable. You can create as many new realms as you want. Let us know what world you are creating--send us screenshots of your demo world at letters@pcgamer.com. Below is a list of our five favorite Minecraft mods.
