Bring Minecraft to Half-Life in Half-Craft: The Half-Life Minecraft Mod

Half-Craft: The Half-Life Minecraft Mod combines two popular games by bringing Minecraft to Half-Life.

A melding of Half-Life and Minecraft

Half-Craft: The Half-Life Minecraft Mod is a free add-on for Half-Life which recreates another immensely popular title, Minecraft, right in Half-Life’s engine. While you will technically be playing Half-Life, you will feel as though you are playing Minecraft. The mod makes an effort to reconstruct as much of that game’s creative gameplay as possible, allowing players to collect and build with different types of blocks in Half-Life just as they would in Minecraft.

You have never seen Half-Life quite like this

Mixing and matching different gameplay elements is a major attraction when it comes to modding games, so those who are fans of both Half-Life and Minecraft should find it interesting to see the two games mixed together in this way. In addition, the mod also affords those who own Half-Life but not Minecraft a means of trying out the latter game.

Two games together

Although the mod obviously does not offer as much as the full Minecraft, lacking a multiplayer mode for one, it captures enough of the game to offer some creative fun as players create settings as they would in Minecraft.

A novel mix

While the appeal of this novelty add-on may be lost on those who prefer to play either Minecraft or Half-Life as they are, it has plenty of curiosity value and the fact that it is free means that it is worth a look from Half-Life players who are interested in seeing the game melded to a very different style of gameplay.
