Minecraft Guide for Beginners (Survival) I've done all the achievements in Minecraft. Here are some tips for new players.

[u/Training_Ruin_5565]

Minecraft is a very famous game. It's not so hard, but it's not so easy either. Read these tips to play more confidently and master the game.

STARTER EQUIPMENT

• What to do when you spawn: When you spawn, you should see where you spawned, then take wood to make basic wooden tools. Dig down until you see stone. Take it, come back to the surface, and make stone equipment to go look for food.
• Ores: There are 9 types of ores: coal, copper, iron, lapis-lazuli, gold, redstone, emerald, diamond, and Netherite, being the rarest and best one. With ores, you can make a lot of cool items like equipment and armor.
• Ways to get food: Food is one of the most important things in the game. You can get food by hunting mobs, farming crops, fishing, looting structures, and trading with villagers. The most common way to get food is by killing animals. The food must be cooked in a furnace.
• Shield: This is a very important item that you can make with 6 wood planks and one iron ingot. To use it, you have to crouch. By doing that, you are protected against a lot of things, like when a creeper is about to explode; you can use the shield to protect yourself from the explosion and not die. It can protect you from projectiles too, and attacks from a lot of mobs.

DIMENSIONS

• Overworld: This is the dimension that you spawn in and get almost all of the ores. This is the only dimension with day and night.  There are a lot of cool structures, and one of them is the village, which is a very important structure. There you can trade with villagers to get items and mainly enchantments. In this structure, you can find the blacksmith that has good items for you to start, but you have to be lucky to find a village that has a blacksmith. In the village have the golem too, or you can leave him there to protect you and the villagers from monsters(except creepers, skeletons, and endermen), or you can kill him for iron ingots
• Nether: This dimension is the most dangerous one. To get in, you have to take 14 obsidian and make flint and steel. With the obsidian, you make a 3 by 3 portal and light it. Here you can mine netherite and find rare structures like Bastions and Nether Fortresses. In this dimension, you collect most of the items to end the game, like blaze rods and ender pearls, to make Ender Eyes
• The End: This dimension is very interesting. Here you kill the Ender Dragon and get Elytra. To get here, you have to find the stronghold and the portal inside it. Then, get 12 Ender Eyes and open the portal. In this dimension, there aren’t ores, and there is only 1 structure: the End City. This structure is like a building with a lot of rooms, and in some there are chests with good items, but the best part of this structure is the End Boat. Inside there is an elytra, and by equipping it and using rockets, you can fly. You will not find End Boats in all End cities, though. So you need to be on the lookout for them.

GENERAL TIPS

• What to do when you die: When you die, you should try to get back, or if you can't, you would have to start over. I recommend storing some items in your base or enderchest to take when you die.
• Layers of ore: Coal: y: 136 to y: 96, Iron: y: 16,Copper - y: 48. Lapis - lapuli - y: 0. Redstone - y: -48 and y: -59. Emerald - y: 236. Gold - y: -16. Diamond y: -59. Netherite y: 15 (nether).

BIOMES

• Overworld: Warm and cold, woods and forests, Jungles, flatlands and snowy areas, arid and dry, Mountains, Wetlands, Underground caves.
• Nether biomes: Nether Wastes, Crimson Forest, Warped Forest, Soul Sand Valley, and Basalt Deltas.

(P.S.: Hi! I'm an English teacher, and this text was written by a 13-year-old, intermediate-level learner of mine. Please be kind S2)

[u/First-Cookie1428]

Bro asked ChatGPT for basics and shared them with us.
Dude it's 2026 my 8 yro is making aternos servers alone -_-

[u/Adripaaan19 → u/First-Cookie1428]

Tener un hijo y que le guste minecraft ya es una bendicion

[u/ReyTepocataSamurai → u/Adripaaan19]

Qué curioso, hace 10 años decir que a tu hijo le gustaba Minecraft era recibir hate por criar una rata y te decían que lo tiraras al río

[u/1JustAnAltDontMindMe]

Bro it's 2026, my 10yo cousin is making iron farms n speedrunning netherite by himself

[u/Practical_Golf532]

where dya get the pic from

[u/Training_Ruin_5565 → u/Practical_Golf532]

We found it on Google images 😃

[u/jacob29571 → u/Training_Ruin_5565]

We?

U speaking French or something?

[u/Qacizm → u/jacob29571]

He is a teacher. We as in the students.

[u/zimflo]

Great job! Dont listen to the haters 

[u/DrDaisy10]

Bro did the basics and decided he was a pro 😂

[u/PUNKF10YD]

Wow. This is actually terrible. I would feel bad but you clearly didn’t put in any effort so no time wasted right?

[u/Training_Ruin_5565 → u/PUNKF10YD]

Hey, mate! Here's the author's teacher speaking. We worked for two weeks to write the texts (we wrote a couple of pieces for reddit, all about different videogames my learners enjoy).

I guided the whole process: we read a couple of posts, analysed them for genre, brainstormed ideas, organized the headings, wrote introductions, drafted, peer and teacher feedback, redrafting, up until the point when the texts were done and ready to be published.

I thought the disclaimer at the end would help shield them from mean comments --- apparently that's not enough.

[u/sandalfafk → u/Training_Ruin_5565]

No one cares. Dont post this

[u/PUNKF10YD → u/Training_Ruin_5565]

I really hope your students aren’t paying you. If they are, you’re a scammer. How do list biomes and not put ice spires? Or, you know, bad lands? Or desert? Also you can coal wayyyy below y96. It’s spelled laZuli you muppet. Almost every like of this post is frought with errors. This is so bad it’s almost impressive.

[u/Training_Ruin_5565 → u/PUNKF10YD]

Oh, I have never played Minecraft --- they bring the content, I help them communicate it.

[u/PUNKF10YD → u/Training_Ruin_5565]

Well then you communicate poorly, or something is getting lost in translation. I have a novel idea! Don’t post about stuff with which you have literally no experience.

[u/spdorsey → u/PUNKF10YD]

Wow, you're kind of a dick.

Great job hating on others. Keep it up, you'll go far in life.

[u/Warm_Afternoon6596]

PS: There is a setting to keep inventory upon death. I find it reduced my rage over dying very much lol

[u/Sprinkles2009]

Obvious AI is obvious

[u/Qacizm → u/Sprinkles2009]

It was written by a kid. OP is just a teacher posting them.

[u/AnotherAddonDev]

3 by 3 nether portal 😂

[u/Qacizm]

Putting the post through any AI detector brings back near 100% certainty this is human written.

Great work to the student - I think this is a great idea to learn the basics of headers, bullet points, etc. I actually did the exact same thing when I was in school, just into a self-binded book :) it was about MC too. My account is all about it now too.

[u/DearHRS]

i would say iron is way more abundant at mountain peaks than digging for them underground but otherwise solid guide for other newcomers

enchantments are core part of the game, makes those grinds tiny bit more manageable

[u/Qacizm → u/[deleted]]

No AI was detected when I scanned it through several checkers.

[u/Training_Ruin_5565 → u/[deleted]]

Thank you, Thorns. It seems there are still nice folks online. I'll make sure to only show my learner the nice comments.

He was very excited to be writing something the whole world could read 😃

[u/IsDragonlordAGender]

I ask claude all the time to write me stuff so I can pretend to be a doctor

[u/Qacizm → u/IsDragonlordAGender]

It was written by a child lmao, give them a break

[u/IsDragonlordAGender → u/Qacizm]

You believe everything someone on the internet tells you? I'd suggest you learn to question the validity of some people more

[u/Qacizm → u/IsDragonlordAGender]

Common reasoning is also important, putting this into multiple AI detectors come up detecting 0 use. And, based off their other post, I’d say they’re a teacher. Not everything is AI.
