Tips after install

Start the game with Survival Mode

Punch a tree to collect wood—it’s your first resource. Craft a Crafting Table (4 wood planks) to unlock more tools and items. Make basic tools like a Wooden Pickaxe to start mining.

Build Shelter Before Nightfall

Night brings zombies, skeletons, and creepers. 😱 Use dirt, wood, or stone to build a quick shelter. It doesn’t need to be pretty—just safe! Place a Torch (made with coal or charcoal) to light up your shelter and keep mobs away.

Collect Essential Resources

Wood, stone, coal, and iron are your first goals. Mine stone for better tools. Look for coal to make torches. Dig carefully—lava and caves are often nearby!

Craft a Bed

Find sheep to collect wool (3 pieces) and craft a bed. A bed lets you sleep through the night and set your respawn point. It’s a game-changer!

Don’t Forget Food

Hunt animals (chickens, cows, pigs) or collect crops like wheat. Cook meat in a furnace for better hunger recovery. Pro tip: Plant seeds and start a farm early for endless food.

Watch Out for Mobs

Zombies burn in sunlight—so stay safe until morning. Avoid Creepers (green, explosive monsters) or fight them at a distance. Craft a Sword and Shield to defend yourself.

Explore and Experiment

Minecraft is about creativity and adventure! Build, mine, and explore your surroundings. Try crafting fun things like boats, ladders, or a furnace for smelting resources. Don’t be afraid to get lost—every blocky world is unique!

Set Small Goals

Start simple: build a house, gather iron armor, and explore caves. Move on to bigger challenges like finding diamonds, defeating the Ender Dragon, or creating epic builds.

Have Fun and Play Your Way

There’s no “wrong” way to play Minecraft! Build castles, dig massive mines, or explore new biomes. Don’t rush—enjoy the journey and let your creativity flow.
