How to Play Mindl

1. Classic Mode

The Test of Knowledge. In this mode, you must identify a specific Minecraft item or block based on text clues alone.

Rules:

• You start with 1 Clue. It is usually cryptic or general.
• Type your guess in the search bar.
• If your guess is Wrong: The game reveals the next clue, which is slightly more specific.
• If your guess is Correct: You win the round!
• You have a maximum of 5 Attempts (and thus 5 clues).

Tip: Don't guess randomly! Read the clue carefully. Does it mention "mining"? It's likely an ore or stone. Does it mention "eating"? It's food.

2. Zoom Mode

The Test of Vision. We show you a texture from the game, but extremely zoomed in.

Rules:

• The image starts at 10x Zoom. You might only see a few pixels of color.
• Make a guess based on the color palette and noise pattern.
• Wrong Guess: The camera zooms out, revealing more of the item.
• Correct Guess: The full item is revealed.

Tip: Pay attention to unique pixel patterns. The "grain" of wood or the "shine" of gold is distinct even when zoomed in.

3. Silhouette Mode

The Test of Shapes. "Who's that Mob?" - Identify the creature by its shadow.

Rules:

• You see a black, possibly blurred shape of a Minecraft Mob.
• Wrong Guess: The image becomes less blurry and slightly brighter.
• The Hint System: If you fail 3 times, the game will give you a text hint (e.g., "Drops Leather") for your 4th and 5th attempt.

4. Crafting Mode

The Test of Memory. Reverse-engineer a crafting recipe.

Rules:

• You are presented with a 3x3 crafting grid.
• Some ingredients are visible, others are hidden.
• You must guess: What item is being crafted?
• Wrong Guess: One of the hidden ingredients is revealed, giving you more information.
