Your First Day in
MINECRAFT
So, Here You Are!
Its your first day in Minecraft, and theres a wide world around you to explore and play in. But what do you do first?
Theres just so much to do in Minecraft, it can be a little confusing at first. The Minecraft world can also be pretty dangerous, especially at night, and getting a good start on your first day is very important. The overall goal of your first day is to have enough resources and a good shelter to keep you safe before it gets dark, and these things take a little bit of work.
Dont worry though! Well walk you through what to do so you have a great first day in your new favorite game.
The Three Keys to Your First Day
The first few moments in your Minecraft game should focus on the three most important things in Minecraft: resources, tools, and shelter.
Resources
Almost everything in Minecraft is made of blocks that can be broken and picked up, and you can use each thing to build with or to make other things. Gathering resources is very important to Minecraft, and you will need to get some very early on in your first day.
Tools
Tools are items that make tasks easier in Minecraft. For instance, there are Shovels to dig Dirt faster, Pickaxes to make mining Stone much faster and to let you get important ores (more on those later!), and many more tools. Youll build these using the resources you gather, and you need a few as quickly as you can get them in your first day.
Shelter
There are lots of creatures in Minecraft that want nothing more than to attack you, and it can be a little bit scary sometimes! Luckily, all you need to be safe is a nice home with walls, Doors, and some Torches to keep the place well lit and cozy. Making your first home is the final goal of your first day.
