TOP things to do when you start playing Minecraft

Minecraft regularly releases major updates that expand the game's content and evolve it in exciting new directions.

Because it is an extremely large open world sandbox game, Minecraft newbies can easily feel overwhelmed. Having so much to do that people don't know where to start is what most beginners encounter.

In this article, let's learn the important tips and tasks to do when entering the world of Minecraft, helping players survive the first few nights and get off to a good start.

Punch the tree

Starting in Minecraft, the player has nothing, no tools, no weapons, no shelter. The first thing to do is equip yourself with some tools. To do this, walk to the nearest tree and start punching it until the wood falls down, don't worry because the action will not harm the character.

Wood is the basic building block that gamers will use for the rest of the game. Collecting a bunch of wood will open up storage space to turn the wood into planks. Use 4 boards in the mini crafting grid to create a crafting table.

Create stone tools

Players need to use the crafting table to create a wooden pickaxe using sticks and wooden planks. Use that wooden pickaxe to collect a bunch of rocks and then use the stone to craft stone versions of a pickaxe, ax, pickaxe, shovel, and sword. With these tools in the arsenal, players are ready to move on to the next step.

Build a base

Night falls in Minecraft is also a time when a lot of danger from mobs lurks to attack the character. While these mobs will become another tool for players to grow, they are the biggest threat in the first place.

The best way to avoid this is to sleep in a bed, made by killing sheep, using wool and wood for crafting. Unfortunately, sheep are only found in certain biomes, so most likely the first night will be spent hiding indoors. Whether it's earth, wood or stone, use the tools to gather enough materials to build a basic shelter.

Find some food

Once you have a shelter to keep yourself alive at night, the next problem is to keep the character properly nourished. Every action in the game, like mining, running, healing, and jumping, will cost the character with hunger.

When the bar is full, the character will naturally heal from any wounds, but after a while the healing will stop.

If the hunger bar continues to decrease, the character will not be able to run and will eventually begin to lose health until starving to death. It is important to get some basic foods like meat from animals, fish, berries, apples from oak trees or even rotten meat from zombies to keep yourself alive in the first place.
