Chapter 1

Basic Survival

M inecraft is a sandbox style adventure game that heavily focuses on the concept of the player creating their own items and structures from the base elements found within the game. This mechanic is widely known as crafting. Depending on the games mode, your primary objective will be survival, exploration of the expansive randomly-generated world, creation of impressive structures, and potentially making your way towards the in-game ending, though this is not required. In the years since the games initial release in a discounted beta state, it has undergone massive changes to its design, gameplay, and mechanics. What weve been left with is a fully realized game capable of providing players with endless hours of fun and entertainment.

Several gameplay modes have been added to the game over the years. These include survival (the most well-known and popular), wherein players explore the randomly generated landscape and attempt to survive amid harsh conditions and hostile enemies, adventure, a scaled down version of the game proper that allows for user generated maps to be played on both single player and multiplayer, creative, which removes the survival aspects of the game in favor of a more relaxed, creative experience where users can create and destroy structures at will, and finally hardcore, an advanced version of the survival mode which removes the respawn mechanic, difficulty settings, and only provides the player with a single life.

The gameplay mode that youll wind up choosing will largely depend on the kind of experience that you want to have while playing Minecraft. Due to its popularity, however, this book will focus on guiding you through survival mode. The game does have some similar mechanics across modes, and one can easily switch at any time using the command /game mode.

Survival mode starts with the player being dropped into the middle of a randomly generated world. Your next steps will largely depend on what biome your character spawns within. A biome is an in game environment, and doubles as a geographical region. The game includes a total of 63 different biomes, each containing their own flora, fauna, resources, weather patterns, and gameplay strategies leading to near endless variety. Biomes that youll be likely to find outside of the Nether or the End can be divided into five general categories: snowy, cold, lush, dry, and neutral. Some biomes, such as deserts, will be entirely unsuited to a beginner player, though they can be good sources of materials later on in the game.

Whether you spawned into a hospitable biome or not, your first task upon starting the game will be to find wood. Wood will be the foundation of all the other items that youll craft during your game. You can gather wood blocks by punching trees. Gather at least fifteen wooden blocks. The reason for this number will soon become apparent.

After youve gathered your blocks, you can construct your crafting table. By opening the inventory (press E on your keyboard), you can convert your wooden blocks into wooden planks by simply placing them into the crafting space provided. Once youve created a crafting table, you can now create your tools. First, place two blocks of wooden planks on top of one other in order to create a set of four sticks. Then using these sticks and either coal or charcoal, you can create torches. Torches are vital to surviving your first night, as hostile mobs spawn in the dark. Generally, torches are constructed using sticks and coal. If you cannot find goal before night falls, wooden planks can be smelted inside of a furnace to produce charcoal instead.

You will then have to construct basic tools in order to construct your shelter, along with other tools later on. The patterns for all of the items mentioned can be found below. Stoves and chests especially will become important later on, so its best to construct them as early as you can. It should also be noted that the crafting patterns for your basic tools (pickaxe, sword, axe, and shovel) do not change even if the materials that you find yourself using to construct them do.
