The Story of Survival

Once you have arrived in the new world, you have two main tasks: to create tools and build a shelter to survive in Minecraft. You must do all this before

First night. Find trees and - these will be your first steps to survival in this world.

When you find a tree, break it with LMB until a piece falls off of it, which you can pick up. To collect resources, you just need to hold down the left mouse button and hit the block until it breaks. After the block falls out, just walk next to it and it will drop into your inventory

Collect wood until you have 10 pieces. IMPORTANT: in multiplayer, it is forbidden to break blocks at a certain distance from the spawn location (spawn location)

Now it's time to look for a place for the house. The main thing is that your shelter for the first night should be just a shelter, that is, its main task will be to keep the monsters away from you. On the hills or on the peaks it will be fine, but it does not matter, even on the plain.

Once you find a place, you will need to recycle the wood blocks into planks.
Press "E" to open the inventory, there is a place to create items, the size of 2x2 cells to the right of your character. Put a wood block in any of the slots after, you can guess that on the left we can get 4 planks from it. Make yourself 24 planks out of 6 blocks of wood Now you can make your own workbench out of 4 planks! Most of the items and tools in the Minecraft game are created on the workbench, so find one for the workbench a good place in my house.

Place a workbench in your house using RMB. After that, you can open it by right-clicking on it. You will see a window for creating items with a size of 3x3 cells.

So we need sticks. Place two boards like this: one above the other to get the sticks. Make 12 sticks (6 planks)

Use the planks and sticks in your inventory to make wooden tools on the workbench. The first thing you need in this world is a pickaxe!

Now is the time to start building your house. The purpose of the first shelter is simple - it is to protect you from the monsters that will appear at night. You can start building around the workbench that you set up, or you can take it with you and move it to another place by simply destroying this block (by hitting it with your fists, or with a pickaxe, which is faster)

Using a shovel you dig the ground faster. Using a pickaxe - a stone, an ax is great for cutting down trees. Well, save the sword for the monsters.

The first survival shelter in Minecraft can be built from earth, which will come out the fastest. However, if there are stone deposits somewhere in the area, then it is better to dig them out using a pickaxe and build a house out of stone.

The last step in order to have a quiet night is to find a cobblestone to build a furnace.

If you don't see any mountains or an exit around rock on the surface, you can dig a hole in the ground with a shovel and get to rock. Use a pickaxe to extract stone, 20 pieces should be enough for the first time.

After you have enough stone - lock yourself simply by walling up the entrance. Return to the workbench and start building the furnace. To build a furnace, you need to put a cobblestone in all the slots of the workbench, except for the central one. You can place the oven in the same way as a workbench.

When you have a furnace, you can make torches for lighting. Open the oven and put a plank in the bottom slot (we'll use it as fuel) and put a few pieces of wood in the top slot - great charcoal will come out of it. The first piece of charcoal can be used as fuel to keep the fire going (it burns much longer than a plank). Make 5 pieces of coal.

From the remaining sticks and coal we will make torches. Open your inventory ("E") and place the coal over the stick, if done correctly we will get 4 torches. Place torches inside and, if you like, outside the dwelling.

Everything, the basics of how to survive in Minecraft have been received, and you are ready to explore the surrounding area and build the buildings of your dreams.

You already have a hideout, some torches, a full set of wooden tools, a furnace, and a workbench.

I advise you to spend the night crafting stone tools (they are much stronger than wood and extract blocks faster), digging a mine, or step into the darkness on the street, but who knows how long this journey will be.

This article will teach you the main basics of the game, if you have just installed the game and do not understand what to do, where to go or how to walk in general, then read our instructions. The instruction is divided into short steps, each step takes less than a minute, after each it shows what should be in your inventory. Your task is to complete all the instructions before nightfall in the game, then you can survive your first night in the game.

This article is an instruction for beginners on what to do in the first seconds, minutes and days of the game, how to manage the player, how to survive, how to develop. You may be looking for other information:

tree search

You just showed up in gaming world, every time you create a map, the world is created randomly, you spawn at a random location on the map. Take a look around, first of all you need to find a tree, which is extracted from it, which is needed for crafting and weapons. If there is a tree nearby, then go to it, if there are no trees, then go in any direction until you find it, if you appeared on the island, then swim through the water using the "Space" key.

Your inventory is currently empty

timber extraction

Come close to the tree, point the mouse pointer at the trunk and hold down the left mouse button, we are chopping the tree with bare hands, so it will take a little longer than if we used the ax (we will have it a little later). Get 5 units of wood, it drops when a piece of wood is cut down.

Press the "E" button in the English layout to switch to the mode, now we need to make from, and from 4 boards. To make planks, simply move the wood with the mouse to one of the 4 crafting spaces next to the player image, take the planks on the right side, so "turn" almost all (leave 1 unit of wood) wood into planks, then use 4 planks to make a workbench.

You now have at least 1 piece of wood, 12 planks and 1 workbench. The wood and boards may be of a different color, as the trees are different, but all are used in the same way.

When you have created a workbench, move it to one of the 9 bottom cells. Items and blocks in these 9 bottom cells can be selected using the keys 1-9 or the mouse wheel, after you exit the crafting mode by pressing the "E" key again. We need a workbench for complex crafting, without a workbench we can only do simple things in 4 cells, and in a workbench in 9 cells. To use a workbench, you need to place it on the ground, to do this, select it with the mouse wheel and place it on the ground with the right mouse button.

Now right-click on the workbench and a crafting window will open in 9 cells.

In a vestak, make sticks from 2 boards, and then make sticks from 3 boards and two sticks. By the way, the arrangement of items in a certain order to get other items is called, there are a lot of recipes in the game, it’s not easy to remember them right away, so actively use the page at the link.

Your inventory should now look something like this:

Now we need to get 17 units to make a stone pickaxe, axe, sword and . Cobblestone is mined from stone. Look around for stone cliffs nearby, but it will be even easier to go underground, after 3-5 blocks you will meet stones. It is best to go down underground with a "ladder", then it is easy to get back out. Get 17 cobblestone with a wooden pick and return to your workbench.

Now your inventory will look like this:

We see that our pickaxe is a little damaged, we have collected 17 units of stone and some earth.

Tools and weapons

Return to the workbench, 4 more sticks from two boards, and from sticks and cobblestone - a stone pick, a stone ax, a stone sword.

Now our inventory looks like this:

Enter the workbench, place 8 pieces of cobblestone in the workbench, leaving only the middle cage empty, take the furnace and place it on the ground. Now we need coal to make torches. Coal can be found underground or made in a furnace. Right-click on the stove, put 1 unit of wood in the top cage, and put a wooden pickaxe in the bottom cage, which we will no longer need.

This collection of tips (instructions for the game) starts from the moment you enter the game. If you still do not know how to install the game, we recommend that you read our instructions:.

Introduction: About World Generation

When creating a new world - it is generated completely randomly, and your position in it is just as random. If you don't like the generated world (for example, I don't like deserts and winter, and once the starting point was in the water) - just create a new game.

Let's explore the new world

The player appears in a world with absolutely nothing, and the first thing to do is the tools. But before you run away from the starting point in an unknown direction, tip #1:

1) Do not run far from the starting point - the same point will be the spawn point after death. Remember this place.

The very first tools that can be made are wooden. We run to the nearest tree and "chopping" it with our hands.

2) In order to destroy blocks, you need to hold down the left mouse button

For starters, 4-5 blocks of wood are enough. After opening the inventory (key E) and make boards out of wood:

From the boards we make sticks (more than 8 are not needed yet):

And from the boards we make a workbench:

Now we need to use the workbench - to access the 3x3 crafting grid. To do this, open the inventory, transfer the workbench to the quick launch bar, and put it on the ground with the right mouse button (RMB). And RMB open it.

3) To put or use an item - you need to right-click on it.

Open the workbench and make an axe, a shovel and a pickaxe:

4) Each tool is effective for its blocks. Ax - for wood, Shovel - for earth / sand / gravel, Pickaxe - for stone, sandstone, cobblestones.

Now, you need to designate the starting point (have you forgotten where it was?), for this, we dig the earth / sand with a shovel. Having typed 50-60 blocks, we make a vertical pillar to the clouds - we jump, and at the moment of the jump we set a block under ourselves. It should look something like this:

Then we jump off, die (of course), but then we “cut” nearby, and pick up all our things.

5) When you die in Minecraft, you lose all things. And if you die near the starting point, then, in fact, you don’t lose anything, because. you can collect everything at once.

And here is how our “lighthouse” is seen from the side - it is always easy to find the way home if you build a house near the starting point:

6) Build your first house near the starting point - it's convenient and practical.

But, before you start building a house, you need to do some more things: - find a cave, and get cobblestones - because. wooden tools are very "weak" and break quickly.

If there is no cave anywhere, you can dig a hole in the ground and get to the rocks.

After you have acquired stone tools, it's time to make a furnace and a chest:

The chest is convenient for storing spare tools and excess junk, and the furnace is an indispensable tool in Minecraft.

Now it's time to make torches.

7) Torches illuminate a small area around them. Torches burn indefinitely. You can install the torch on any plane, except for the "ceiling". And, most importantly, monsters do not appear in the illuminated area.

For torches you need sticks and coal:

Coal can be found in caves, but it's easier to make it yourself - with the help of a furnace:

8) Having loaded into the oven necessary materials, you can close the furnace window, and go about your business - the process goes on without the participation of the player.

If you are not in a hurry to build a house, you can also melt sand in the stove to get glass. My favorite house is made of glass:

Having built a house, surround it with torches, install them inside - so that it would be light everywhere. Also, transfer the workbench, oven and chest to the house (for this you need to break and pick them up).

So that you can enter / leave the house, but the monsters can’t, you need to make a door:

The door is 1 block wide and 2 high.

There should not be any "holes" in the house since spiders can climb walls and your house can become your trap.

9) When a house is built where you can wait out the night, you need to think about food. How to get your own food is written in.

How to survive the first nights

Surviving is easy, but spending the first nights in an interesting and useful way (I mean building and crafting) is almost impossible for a beginner. Therefore, contrary to many advice, I recommend not to bathe in the first nights, and not to wall yourself up in some cave, without tools and with one torch.

And during the night you can:

  • prepare a site for building a house (including with the help of creepers);
  • get to know the local night dwellers;
  • get the basics of combat.

If everything was done as I wrote above - they began to settle down immediately near the launch site - then, having died, you immediately respawn and pick up things / kill enemies. I, it was the case, fought with three skeletons at the same time with my bare hands - I killed them.

After the house is built, there are two options to spend the night: 1) "scroll" the night with the bed:

To create which you need boards and wool. Wool can be obtained by killing sheep (or shearing them with scissors).

Or, what is more interesting (an option for real miners) - dig dungeons, explore natural caves. And my first cave, I recommend starting digging right away in the house:

And it turns out: during the day, we study the surroundings, extract "ground" resources, at night - we go to the house, and go down to the dungeons.

Digging your dungeon, sooner or later you will stumble upon the "natural", and they are very, very large and deep. And most importantly, with valuable resources - diamonds, redstones, etc.

Rare Resources

In order to create something serious, you need rare resources - redstones, gold, diamonds. But where can you get them? There is a universal rule - the deeper, the more chances to find a rare resource.

The best option would be this - dig a hole, to the very "bottom" (to blocks of "bedrock" that cannot be broken), after which, climb 5-7 blocks up, and dig a cave wide.

The bedrock blocks have begun, it is no longer necessary to dig deeper:

I started digging immediately in width, but it is clear that the resources go a little higher:

Lastly

Bookmark and explore.

You can share your tips in the comments.

The tips in this article will help you learn the many nuances of Minecraft.

Create various tools. You never know what might come in handy.

Make traps for mobs.

Before the first night, collect as much wood as possible.

To quickly get shelter by the first night, make an indentation in the mountain.

Don't put off making a shelter.

Before visiting the cave, make sure you have enough wood.

Fence off the territory chosen for construction to protect yourself from random monsters.

Mark your path with blocks or torches to quickly find your way back.

Always keep a torch handy.

Check your ideas before putting them into practice.

Always keep coal in your inventory. It is a good fuel and material for creating torches.

If you find yourself out of cover at nightfall - hide!

Think carefully before killing animals. Once killed, they will not reappear in that location.

Always have a chest with a supply of tools in your hideout.

Think twice before killing animals. Once killed, they will not reappear in that location.

Never carry all the created things with you. Take only what you need. So you can not lose all your property in case of death and, on the other hand, you will have more free space in inventory.

When playing online, coordinate your actions: two heads are better than one.

If you stumble upon coal ore, be sure to collect it. There is not much coal.

Be patient!

Be sure to leave free space around the bed. In case of death, you will appear at the original spawn point, or near the bed, if there is one. If there is no free space, you will suffocate.

Arrange bookcases around the enchanting table to increase its effectiveness.

Never dig under you!

When creating torches, it is better to use charcoal, leave the usual one for something more important.

Always remember which direction your house is facing.

Keep the wiki page open in your browser so you always have the information you need at hand.

When attacking a creeper, quickly run up to him, knock him back with a blow and press the block to minimize the damage from the explosion.

Always remember which direction your house is facing. You can also use a compass or write down the coordinates.

Remember that the size of cave spiders allows them to cross passages only one block wide. Be careful!

If you get attacked while your health is low, don't let go of the block and retreat.

Skeletons can shoot ahead, so beware of dark places and use cover.

Some items (e.g. bed, chests) cannot be placed on the glass block.

Monsters always appear in dark places. Therefore, try to illuminate your shelter as much as possible with glass panels and torches. Avoid creating large open spaces in your home - some mobs can still make their way there.

Collect all available wood and coal.

When creating a farm, make sure that the plants have enough light and water.

Replant the seedlings obtained during the extraction of wood. After a while, they will grow into new trees (with bonemeal - instantly).

Try not to climb too far from your home.

Make your shelter visible from afar, or mark the path you have traveled. If you have built a shelter near the spawn point, you can use the compass to navigate.

If you go far from home, then make staging posts so that you can wait out the night.

Build pens for animals (chickens, pigs, cows) or tie them to the fence on a leash. Later you can use them for food or breeding.

During long trips through the caves, make small shelters in them (be sure to put a stove). Also take enough wood for extra tools and torches.

When creating a farm, make sure that the plants have enough light and water. One block of water can irrigate an area within a radius of four blocks.

Ensure there is enough free space on the mushroom farm (approximately 5x5x7 blocks) and constant access to bonemeal. And no light!

When riding a horse, avoid 2x2 and 2x1 passages: you will not get through them or you will simply suffocate.

Do not go into the water while riding a horse, otherwise it will throw you off. If you absolutely must cross a water barrier, use a leash or build a bridge.

When playing online, hide your animals. Other players can kill them for food.

When riding a horse, avoid 2x2 and 2x1 passages: you will not get through them or you will simply suffocate.

If you are going to the Nether, stock up on tools and good armor.

When building in the Nether, use stone, infernal or normal brick. Other materials may be destroyed fireballs Gastov.

When faced with ifrits, try to build them up, or surround them big amount torches spawn location (ifrits have a very low darkness requirement to spawn).

When heading to the Nether, always take flint and steel with you: in case the ghast turns off your portal, you can reactivate it. You can also capture obsidian to build a new one.

When setting off in search of a fortress, check your equipment, the availability of the necessary blocks and the presence of at least 15 Ender Eyes. The Eye of Ender doesn't always persist after use, so there's no way to predict how many will be needed to find the portal.

Part 1

Creating your own world

    Select a game mode and set the settings. When you first launch the game, you will need to choose between single player and multiplayer mode. In the first case, you will obviously play alone, in the second you will be able to do it together with other people who will meet on the Minecraft servers. If you play the free version, the multiplayer mode will not be available. You will also need to set basic settings such as sound and difficulty level and so on.

    • The difficulty level settings determine whether monsters (mobs) will appear in your field of vision at night or not. Peaceful will not allow them to appear and attack, light - mobs will appear, but their respawn will be insignificant, but heavy implies a large number of monsters, in particular zombies in this mode can break through doors.
    • If you select the multiplayer mode, you will not need to create a world, since you can simply join someone else's. To find a multiplayer game, you can visit planetminecraft.com.

  1. Select game mode. If you play alone, you will need to create a world in which your character will live. When you create it, you will be able to choose a mode, since the mechanics of the game will depend on it. From a functional point of view, this can both simplify the game and make it more difficult. The following modes are available:

    • Survival: In this mode, you will find many things already familiar from other games, such as health, hunger, equipment and oxygen, as well as inventory. You will need to collect materials to create items (crafting) using the extraction of resources in mines and in other ways, in addition, you will receive experience points.
    • Creative: You will have unlimited access to materials and your needs such as health and hunger will be satisfied. In addition, you will be able to fly.
    • Hardcore: you will forever bind the created world to high level difficulty, and if you die, it will be deleted, so be careful.
    • The bonus chest option will create a chest containing tools, wood, and food. It will spawn near your spawn point, with 0 to 4 torches around the chest. The bonus will be useful for new players.
    • Spectator: This mode will allow you to simply fly through the floor and see the world. It can only be obtained using the /gamemode command or after dying in hardcore mode.
    • Adventurer: You will need the right tools to gather materials. Other attributes will also be present.

  2. Set your world settings. They are in a very useful menu that allows you to have more control over the created world. You can enter a key that will create a specific world, activate cheats and choose a world mode, as well as much more.

    • The world mods include a super flat one that's perfect for creative mode, as well as a biomass-heavy one that makes the world significantly Furthermore, which is the default.

  3. Gather materials. You will need to extract them from the mines and collect them in order to be able to build anything in the game. The very first resource that you will need to get in order to survive the first night is wood. Find trees and cut them down by clicking on the left mouse button, and then pick up the resulting tree.

    • Thirty grand to begin with would be quite good.

  4. Build a crafting table - with it you can craft all the items in the game. This will become the basis of your shelter. To build a table to create things, follow these rules:

    • Open your inventory by pressing the E button and place one tree measure in one slot below the create button. This will help you make yourself wooden bars.
    • Collect the received bars, and then put them in inventory.
    • Fill with wooden blocks all empty cells under the crafting button.
    • This will allow you to create a crafting table. Put it next to the place where you are going to build a shelter.
    • During crafting on the table, use 9 cells to place things. The order in which items are placed is very important. From now on, the cells will be mapped to numbers 1-9, from left to right and then down.

  5. Look for resources above ground. Certain materials are above ground, such as wood, seeds, sugarcane, and wheat. You can collect these resources with an ax or with your hands.

    Look for animal resources - some of them can only be obtained with the help of animals. For example, wool from sheep (try not to kill them with scissors), eggs from chickens, and milk from cows, among other things..

    Use your table to create items. Use an altar or a panel in your inventory to create things. Keep in mind that the shape you give an item can be very important in recreating other recipes, even though this is not the case for all things. Click and move items from your inventory to the altar to fill the slots with many items, left click on them, and if you need to place only one, then right. Pick up the created item by clicking on its icon and dragging it to inventory.

  6. Nether: Create an obsidian portal and light a fire within with stone and flint. But watch out for the lava!
  7. Edge: Kill a humanoid and craft humanoid eyes. Throw them out and head in the direction they point and you'll come to a portal where you'll have to fight a dragon boss.
  8. Animals are the main source of food. If you are lucky enough to meet a pig, cow or chicken, kill it and collect the drop. Use the oven to cook raw meat obtained from killing animals. Cooked food is twice as good as raw food.
  9. Opening chests stored in villages will give you resources, but locals for this they may dislike you.
  10. Use the tools correctly. Swords are for killing mobs, shovels are for digging blocks, axes are for chopping trees, and pikes are for mining ore and stone, but a plow is for farming.
  11. A log cabin in the mountain slopes is good shelter which is easy to build.
  12. If you can't find or build a shelter before dark, dig a hole three blocks deep and set up a bed. Leave a hole in your makeshift trench otherwise it will be too dark and mobs will start respawning when you fall asleep. If you have candles, block the passage, light them and have a good rest.
  13. Don't leave the house at night.
  14. If you press and hold the Shift button while clicking on an item in your inventory, it will automatically move to a slot.
    • If your slots are full, the items you want to move will end up in your inventory.
    • If you have both inventory and slots full, this won't work.
    • This also works when you've crafted a lot of the same type of items or pulled them out of a chest and want to drag them into your inventory. But you can only put things in inventory automatically.
    • You cannot put things back on the altar or in the stove using the Shift key.
  15. There are such types of mobs:
    • Zombie: A slow but strong mob that reduces health by 2.5 hearts if you get too close to it. Sometimes these monsters walk in packs and wear armor or weapons. They should be targeted last due to the fact that they move very slowly.
    • Mini zombies. They are also called zombie children. They are faster than normal (running speed is about the same as yours) and deal the same damage as their adult relatives. Their accuracy is also no different from ordinary zombies.
    • Skeleton: An annoying mob that quickly fires a bow, lowering the health bar by two points and knocking the player back. When encountering these undead, it is advisable to wear leather or stronger armor, as they can hit you from a distance, and are very dangerous when grouped.
    • Spider: A fast, crawling mob that is very agile and dangerous when in a group of its kind. You can target both skeletons and spiders: they move together.
    • "Creeper: A silent, deadly mob that sneaks up on you unnoticed and you can't hear it until it's too close. Melee attack is so powerful that it can be fatal. At medium range, deals massive damage, taking away as much as 4 hearts on the health bar.In monster mode, it is recommended to use the creeper explosion as an advantage.Get close to the mob so that it explodes, and then run back 7 cells when you hear the hiss.With luck, you can deal with this monster using this strategy.
    • A skeleton rider is a combination of two mobs: a skeleton and a spider that he rides. It is quite rare, so do not wait for it to appear before dark. The respawn chance of a spider with a skeleton on top is only 1%.
    • These are not the only mobs in the game, here is a list of the most common ones. Follow the above recommendations - and you will be able to cope with each of them.

    16. Warnings

  • Never dig too deep underneath you or you may fall into the lava flow.
  • If you fall from high altitude, get hurt or die.
  • Never attack a creeper because he is poisonous and can kill you if you don't have strong armor.
  • Never go to bed in the dark as hostile mobs will respawn and attack you.
  • Keep an eye on the movement of mobs even during the daytime, as creepers and spiders do not die from sunlight like zombies and skeletons.
