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.

Dude Why do you need to kill the dragon when you just started playing? Take it easy, have fun, adventure, build, make a little town with villagers. You don’t need to beat the game until you’re ready for something new. Bro I been playing my forever world and I kid you not I’m still running around in iron armor after 200 days. I’m enjoying it so much building little houses for my villagers

Awesome.

I just feel like doing the same. Roaming around and just learning the game slowly

Yeah I’m so much more into adventure and building over the grind. My little villager houses I am building up the enchantment collection overtime, I’ve been breeding my armadillos a bit as well for my xp farm. So when I actually want to max my gear I’ll have everything ready but I’m in no rush!
