If Minecraft is all about UGC, then what minecraft user made the creeper?

Minecraft works as a game because of the tensions caused by obstacles like monsters and lava, which are randomly generated, not user generated.

Many people saw the appeal in exploring huge randomly generated worlds, and uncover massive dungeons.

Remove those things and leave only UGC and Minecraft would be a sad shell of a game.

I never said Minecraft is 100% UGC. I said gamers changed the Minecraft world into one in which they created all the content. The game was about survival, not about building. You had tools to build, but you never had to. Gamers decided, like our little friend here, to spend 12-20 hours creating a fortress and castle, or mining facility, or protective gateways and trains etc.

Tell me that is not UGC, and I'll show you someone who has a piss-poor definition of UGC.

The main content is still the randomly generated worlds and dungeons that people like to adventure in.

Minecraft has UGC in a sense, but it is not the soul of the game. It's very different from say spore or LBP. And that's why it's not that viable to call out Malstrom on Minecraft and UGC. Malstrom always directed his praise at the huge random world and freedom of the game.
