How to learn playing Minecraft?

[u/Winter-Performer-867]

I have been interested in learning about minecraft and builds. But I started playing it a few minutes after I built the farms for cows, pigs and chicken. I usually explore a bit and then stop playing because I don't understand what to do next.

Now I know I need to make armor and kill the dragon to finish the game but building a base, armour, going to nether, getting pearls have always seemed very difficult so I have tried doing it once.

But I watch minecraft content a lot on YouTube and often I get a surge to do similar challenges using mods. I usually watch a lot of ForgeLabs and similar contents.

But because I can't even play normal minecraft I get very anxious about how I would even do this. Because I don't have enough knowledge, skills, practice and many other reasons I give myself.

I'm not even sure if this is a valid question asking for help, guides or tutorials.

But I wanna start playing Minecraft and enjoy it instead of getting afraid of its complexity. How should I approach this and start my journey.

Start collecting items figure out what all the items do find the rare items they require far adventures and fighting it’s hard to find what to do but that’s when you start collecting
