The First Step To Crafting
Starting out you have nothing; no tools, no weapons, no shelter, nothing. The first thing you need to do is arm yourself with some tools. To do this, walk up to the nearest tree and start punching it until the wood drops. Wood is the basic building block you’ll be using for the rest of the game. Gather a bunch of logs then open your inventory to turn the logs into planks. Use four planks in your mini crafting grid to create a Crafting Bench and open up a world of possibility.
Upgrade Tools From Wood To Stone
Using this Crafting Bench, you can build yourself a wooden pickaxe. To do this, craft a set of sticks and use the sticks with wood planks to craft the pickaxe. It’s highly recommended you have the crafting guide pulled up as there are a lot of things to craft, and it’ll spare you hours of trial and error to figure out what you can and can’t build. Thankfully, Minecraft has a little green book that you can open from the menu, showing all recipes. Use that wooden pickaxe to gather a bunch of st...
Sleep Away The Nighttime Horrors
Nightfall is very dangerous in Minecraft, as there are monsters known as mobs that come out at night to attack you. Later, these mobs will become another cog in your machine to progress, but in the beginning, they are your biggest threat. The best way to avoid this is to sleep in a bed built by killing sheep and using their wool plus wood to craft it. Unfortunately, sheep are only found in specific biomes, so odds are your first night is going to be spent hiding indoors. Whether it’s dirt, wo...
All You Need Is A Bed
When you die in Minecraft, you will respawn at the coordinates 0,0. This is where you begin the game, but it's typically not where you choose to settle. To avoid this, be sure to set your spawn point. This can simply be done by sleeping in a bed, or just clicking on the bed during the day. When you do this, your spawn point is set, and you will respawn on your bed whenever you die.
Don't Starve To Death
Now that you have a shelter to keep yourself alive at night, your next issue is going to be keeping yourself properly nourished. Every action in the game, such as mining and running, costs you hunger. When the hunger bar is full, your character will naturally heal from any injuries, but lose a little hunger and you stop healing. If your hunger bar continues to drop, you’ll become unable to run and eventually will start losing health as you starve to death. It’s important to grab some basic fo...
Prevent Mob Spawns
Most mobs in the game hate light, which is why they don’t appear until nighttime. Keeping the inside of your shelter lit will prevent any mobs from spawning inside. To do this you need torches. To build torches you can either gather coal from the environment or make charcoal by creating a furnace using stone blocks and then ‘cooking’ wooden logs to make charcoal. Charcoal will be handy later for smelting projects, but for now, place it on top of a stick in your crafting table to create torche...
Avoid Getting Lost
Before setting out in the world, it's important to note where you are. Exploration can be fun, but you may get turned around, especially if your base is in a common area like a plains biome. We recommend writing your coordinates down. If you are playing on PC (Java), you can show coordinates by pressing F3 (FN + F3 on Mac). If you are on the Bedrock version of Minecraft, you will need to enable coordinates when creating your world. Thankfully, you can head back to the edit world button from t...
Reduce Clutter And Prevent Item Loss
Chests are great for storing items and are quite easy to make. At the start of the game, you will probably be hoarding everything that you come across. To ease the inventory clutter, be sure to make a chest or two. Placing two chests will make a double chest. Placing important items in chests will also help you avoid permanently losing them if you die. A great tip is to store important tools in a chest if you are exploring somewhere that looks dangerous. When you do die, your tools will still...
A Steady Source Of Raw Materials
With a basic shelter, a supply of food, tools, and torches, your next step is to find a cave. Caves are naturally created tunnels and crevices in the environment that extend underground. Caves vary in size from small rooms barely large enough for you to stand to large complex tunnels that reach the bottom levels of the world. Giant chasms can form down here, as well as Lush Caves full of food and life; just keep an eye on your torch supply. Caves can be useful as large underground shelters an...
Making Your First Ingot
By now you’ve probably had to replace your stone tools a few times and would like to upgrade to something better. Your next technological tier is iron, which is primarily found underground. If you found a decent cave complex, this makes this part very easy. If not, you’re going to have to dig your way down and build a mine. In any case, you’re looking for small tan flecks in stone that represent iron ore blocks. Dig up a bunch of these, plus whatever coal you find, and put them in your furnac...
