Collect initial resources. The main activity in Minecraft is collecting and using resources from the surrounding world. When you start playing Minecraft, you will need to immediately collect the following resources:

Dirt (Land) - Perhaps this is the most popular resource block in the game. Land is relatively useless after a period of gameplay, but is used to create temporary shelter effectively in the early stages. This resource is very useful when you're stuck in a deep hole, as you can easily stack blocks of dirt to create dirt stairs.

Wood blocks - Punching and kicking trees will create wood blocks. Wood is an indispensable material in crafting everything from weapons and tool handles to torches and crafting resources.

Gravel and Sand - Both of these resources are similar to soil, and can be used as foundation or wall material. Gravel and sand both fall if not placed on top of any other blocks.

Wool - You can get wool by killing sheep. Wool (3 parts of the same color) and any wooden planks are used to create a bed - an indispensable item if you want to avoid failure when first playing Minecraft.

Build temporary houses . Use dirt, gravel and sand to build four walls and a roof of your own. This is about ensuring you have a place to stay when it gets dark.

The simplest way to build a house (also recommended by Mojang) is to find a hill, then dig a cave in that hill and install a door so that living creatures cannot enter the house. To create the door, you will arrange two wooden plank columns to the left of the crafting table.

You should use land to build a house because wood is more useful in making tools.

Remember to leave at least one empty space somewhere in the house to help you know when it's morning and can go out at dawn to have more time to collect resources.

Make a crafting table. The crafting table is used to create almost anything in Minecraft. You can make a crafting table in your inventory.

Picture 31 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Create a bed . This item has two uses: allowing you to sleep to avoid danger when it's dark and choosing a respawn point as the last bed you rested on. That means when you die you won't respawn at world creation; instead, you will respawn right next to your bed.

Creating a bed as soon as possible is very important, especially when you have created a shelter quite far from the start of the game.

Picture 32 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Go to bed as soon as it gets dark. As mentioned before, this allows you to skip the dark time when many of Minecraft's monsters (also known as "mobs" in the game) appear.

If you haven't made your bed before dark, stay in your shelter until sunrise.

Create some tools. Tools are the foundation for success in Minecraft, as they allow you to receive and create advanced weapons, tools, and armor after a period of time playing the game. First you need to create the following tools:

Pickaxe - Used to dig rocks. You'll start by creating a wooden pickaxe, but you can still create a stone pickaxe by using the wooden pickaxe to dig up three blocks of stone.

Sword - Used to protect yourself when encountering living creatures. Using any sword - even a wooden one - is better than using your fist.

Ax - Used to cut wood quickly. Although you don't need an ax to cut wood, this is a tool that helps you work faster.

Shovel - Used to quickly remove dirt, gravel and sand. You don't need to use a shovel to get these types of resources, but this is a tool to help you work quickly.

Learn the differences between living organisms. Although you will want to run away from animals and monsters, most living creatures will not attack you unless they are attacked first:

Peaceful - These living creatures will never attack you, but they will run away when attacked. For example: livestock (pigs, cows, sheep, etc.).

Neutral - These living creatures will not attack you unless they are attacked by you first. For example: Endermen and Spider (only when it's morning).

Hostile (Aggressive) - This is a living creature that always attacks when it sees you. For example: Zombie (Mummy), Skeleton (Skeleton) and Spider (only when it's dark).

Survival in Minecraft

Picture 35 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Find and dig coal. Coal is a valuable fuel source for the furnace you'll create shortly, but it's also a key ingredient for making torches.

Picture 36 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Create torches. You can make a torch using a stick and a portion of coal (or charcoal).

Once in place, the torch cannot be destroyed or extinguished; You can just knock the torch to the ground, but then you can still pick it up and put it back.

Picture 37 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Place plenty of torches around the property. Besides lighting up the place, torches also light up the surrounding area to help prevent ferocious creatures (such as Creepers, Zombies, Skeletons, etc.) from appearing. appears near your home, and you will be safe at night.

You need to place many torches to prevent living creatures from appearing near your house. A safe solution is to place a circle of torches around the house.

Picture 38 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Build an incinerator. Among other things, the furnace was used to process food and melt iron ore into iron bars. Since food is essential for survival and iron is the most common resource for almost all crafting in Minecraft, furnaces are a valuable item.

You can use a furnace by placing suitable resources (such as food or ore) in the upper part of the furnace and placing fuel (such as coal, wool, lava, etc.) in the lower part. .

Picture 39 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Start exploring the world and gathering resources. Things like cobblestone, coal, iron, and wool are all necessary to survive in Minecraft, so collect as much as you can.

If you find a place rich in resources (such as a cave), mark the way there with torches or trails.

You can create chests to store collected resources so you don't need to carry them with you the next time you explore.

New housing construction. Although your first temporary shelter is often crude and built from unsuitable materials, you can create a more permanent home once you have enough materials.

Resources such as stone (especially granite) and iron are better at preventing explosions than land and wood. This is useful when you are trying to minimize damage caused by a Creeper.

Picture 41 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Move the furniture of the temporary home to the new home if necessary. This is easiest to do when your home is nearby. If you want to use your old house as a warehouse and build a new permanent house, the process will be safer than trying to move house.

Only move furniture during the day.

Do not destroy the chest while there is still an item in it - move the item from the chest to your inventory, then destroy the chest to pick it up.

Picture 42 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Find food. You can get food by killing animals and taking the meat they leave behind (such as getting raw meat from pigs). Food is consumed to restore the character and restore the "Hunger" gauge which usually decreases over time.

You can prepare food by placing it in a burner with fuel available.

Food is consumed by placing it in the device bar, and pressing the "Mine" button (or touching and holding the screen in Minecraft PE).

Picture 43 of How to Get Some Minecraft Game Tips

Avoid fighting living creatures if possible. Minecraft is not a fighting game; Although you have the means to craft items to protect yourself, proactively going out and trying to kill living creatures is more likely to result in your death than your survival at night. While there are always exceptions to this rule (like when you have to kill spiders to get rope), avoiding combat is always better than trying to fight in Minecraft.

If you must kill living creatures, you should use a sword or axe; however, other tools are more effective than using a fist.

It's best to avoid Creeper (green explosive monster). If the monster starts chasing you, fight back once and retreat until it explodes.

Endermen (tall black creatures) will not attack you when you avoid looking at or hitting them. If provoked, Endermen will be very difficult to kill.

If you have a bow and arrow, you can actually attack your opponent while retreating. However, some living creatures (such as Skeletons) also have bows and arrows.
