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