Table of Contents

Minecraft is an open-world game. Players can explore the games world and choose their own ways to play.

Minecraft Construction

In Minecraft , players use their own ideas to construct, or build, their own virtual worlds. Players can make up their own structures. They can also create structures based on real-life structures.

Players use many kinds of materials when building.

Construction begins with building materials. In real life, people use different materials to build different kinds of structures. It works the same way in Minecraft .

Building Materials

Minecraft players can be even more creative with the materials they use. For example, houses dont have to be made out of wood.

Players have made many fun and cool structures in Minecraft .

A house could be built from iron, stone, or glass. Some players even make houses of sand, ice, or sponges.

Coal ore is a type of block that makes coal. Coal can be used to make fires.

Some materials are easier to get than others. Players can dig dirt with their hands or a shovel. Materials like coal have to be mined.

Digging for materials is easier with a shovel.

Players keep materials in their inventory. Once a material is in the inventory, players can use it to build.
