Time to stop making excuses, and start making gigantic genitalia.<\/p>\n<p>The 4 MB demo includes 90 minutes of the game&rsquo;s single-player &ldquo;campaign&rdquo; mode, with all tools, minerals, and other stuff accessible from the start to give you everything you need to indulge all your wildest god delusions. Once your time&rsquo;s up, the current world locks up and can no longer be edited, but you&rsquo;ll be able to start over again in a brand new, procedurally-generated world if you&rsquo;re not already convinced it&rsquo;s the best thing ever.<\/p>\n<p>Minecraft is still technically in beta, although it&rsquo;s already available in both free and premium versions, with almost 7 million subscribers. Persson announced back in April that the game would be moving out of beta on 11 November, and become a real game. <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, grab the demo over on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/2011\/04\/19\/download-the-minecraft-demo\/\" target=\"_blank\">PC Gamer&rsquo;s site<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MINECRAFT MINECRAFT FUN FUN FUN FUN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11422"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11422\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
