"Minecraft" all seems so simple once players stop thinking like adults, or at least that's how a recent episode of "South Park" humorously explains it.

"You punch the trees to get the wood. You get the wood to build a cabin," "South Park" character Corey Lanskin said.

"'Minecraft' don't got no winner. It don't go not objective," Lanskin continued. "You just f****** build and s*** and see if other things can knock it down."

While not every town has a Corey Lanskin that can teach adults and the elderly how to properly play "Minecraft," the objective is quite straightforward. PC Magazine recently wrote up a guide specifically geared toward adults who are not familiar with the popular multi-platform video game.

The author of the piece, Evan Dashevsky, recalled a conversation with his 10-year-old nephew, who was on Easter break, about "Minecraft." Dashevsky wrote that while the game has spread among children, teens and many adults as well, there is still plenty of adults who do not know or understand the game.

"I consider myself to be pretty tech-savvy, but that was before I had a conversation about 'Minecraft' with my nephew," he wrote.

The first part of the guide teaches newbies that the game is not called "Mindcraft" but "Minecraft." The game is considered an open-ended sandbox game, meaning users can "explore, build, and spend their time as they see fit."

For those who don't know, the game allows users to forge objects that can be harnessed, repurposed or used to create other objects. While the game looks like it's a bunch of digital Legos, it requires the player to be more hands-on in developing objects. Furthermore, it's not a traditional "game" where a person can win or lose. As mentioned before, it's open-ended, so players can keep consistently build a massive virtual landscape.
