Ekstru

Ekstru is a term primarily used in the context of the video game *Minecraft*, referring to a specific type of player who engages in large-scale, often automated, mining and resource gathering operations. The name is derived from the concept of "extraction," as these players focus on efficiently collecting materials such as ores, blocks, and other in-game resources. Their activities typically involve the use of complex redstone contraptions, automated farms, and optimized mining setups to maximize output with minimal manual effort.

Ekstru players often participate in community-driven projects, including but not limited to, building large-scale structures, creating automated factories, or contributing to collaborative builds. Their work is frequently shared with the broader *Minecraft* community, either through public servers, YouTube tutorials, or personal projects. The term gained traction due to the rise of automated mining techniques, which became a popular topic among advanced players seeking efficiency and creativity in gameplay.

While ekstru is not an official term within *Minecraft*, it has become widely recognized in player culture as a way to describe those who specialize in resource optimization and automation. The practice reflects broader trends in gaming, where players seek to enhance gameplay through technical skill and innovation. Ekstru activities can range from simple automated farms to highly complex, multi-stage extraction systems that integrate mining, sorting, and storage mechanisms.
