In Minecraft: Builders & Biomes, players explore the Overworld, build structures and mine resources. They earn points for structures and for the largest connected biomes (forest, desert, mountain or snowy tundra) on their game boards. Familiar enemies such as Endermen, Creepers and other monsters also appear throughout the game and must be defeated using weapons collected from the game board. By defeating monsters, players earn points and gain extra rewards. Points are awarded as the layers of the resource cube are depleted. As soon as the third layer is depleted, the adventure ends and the builder with the most points wins.
