Tangibleness is essentially the same as tangibility: the quality of being able to be touched or physically perceived. It’s about something being real and having substance, not just an idea. Think of holding a freshly baked cookie 🍪; you can see, smell, and taste it—that's tangibleness. Contrast this with a dream you had last night; that's intangible. Tangibleness provides a sense of certainty and groundedness.
"Tangibleness" is formed from "tangible," derived from Latin "tangibilis," meaning "that may be touched," from "tangere" (to touch). Adding the suffix '-ness' transforms the adjective into a noun that signifies a state, condition, or quality. Thus, tangibleness refers to the quality of being tangible. It directly links to the physical act of touching and experiencing something.
In 'Minecraft,' the tangibleness of building blocks gives players a sense of accomplishment. Creating a castle, brick by brick, is a tangible achievement. This is unlike the abstract planning that may go into it first. It provides immediate feedback and a sense of control. That is why it is a fan favorite game.
