Minecraft Basics Explanation

This Explanation will explain the basics of Minecraft and what to do when you first spawn (To appear on a random part of the map then you can move about freely) on the map. This will help to give you a good idea on how to make your house and other thing as you read. The first thing you need to do when you sign into Minecraft when starting a new world is name the world then enter the random seed to generate the worlds look.


When you spawn look around and see where you are and then mark your spawn with a piece of sand or anything you wish. If you spawn in an area with mountains around it is a good idea to make a small house inside of the actual mountain because it is helpful. But at the moment you need to go and look for some trees. If you have spawned near a mountain there should always be a forest filled with trees.


Make some wood planks out of the wood you have collected and make a crafting table then make a wooden pick axe. A wooden pick axe is a horrible tool but if you didn’t make one you wouldn’t get very far in the game at all. Make sure you have collected the crafting table that you made earlier then make your house by using the pick axe.


Once you have cut out a reasonable amount from the mountain from your house it is time to upgrade your tools so make yourself a stone pickaxe. By now it is nearly night so you will want some coal 3 pieces of wool and a door. Go and get some wool and coal is usually found inside a mountain so it is easy to find. Go to get about 10 pieces of sand and go to your house.



You should be able to make a furnace with the cobble you have collected, but first you’ll want to make that door for your house so no monsters can get in. Now you will be thinking “Why do I need this worthless sand?” well you need some windows. Now make a furnace and if you have enough wood OR coal you will want to make some windows by putting the sand into the furnace. Now while the glass is cooking make a bed and some torches. Put the door down at the spot of your choice and then the bed and go to sleep. Make some holes to put the windows in then put the glass in. Then light up your room with the torches that you made. Now you have got a good hideout to be safe from the monsters at night.



This is a guide made for the people having a hard time with this game. I hope this helps you play this game without dying all of the time.



Here is a house i have made in the air.

  1. Hi Rory

    Great detail. You obviously know the game well. A few things for you to consider:
    - font size
    - explanation of 'spawn' could be clearer.
    - 2 large paragraphs should be made into 4
    - Read aloud to help ensure all makes sense.
    - "Collect crafting table that you made earlier". I didn't know I had made one!

  2. G’day ROR!!!!!!!!!!!

    The thing that I thought was good was your introduction. It made sense and told me what you were writing about.

    The thing I think you could of down better was explaining what you had to do. I didn’t really now what you were saying i had to get and what to do with it, you also keep on jumping to different topics without explaining it that well.
