-218440-34290000What is Minecraft?Minecraft is a sandbox game, which is a type of videogame that allows players to explore an entire world. What separates Minecraft from other games is that the world is randomly generated, so every time a player starts a new game, they will have a different experience than the previous game they played. It is also open-ended, which means it doesn’t have an ending. Because of this, there is no way to “win” Minecraft. You can play as long as you want, when you want. How do I download it? Please be aware that Minecraft is no longer free and currently costs $26.95 to download. To download Minecraft, first go to and click Get Minecraft. Create a Mojang account. This will be your login for Minecraft. Verify your email address. After finishing the first step, Mojang will send an email to your email address. Go to that email address and click the link included in the email they sent. Buy the game. Enter your credit card/debit card that you want to use to purchase the game. Your card will be charged $26.95. Download. Click download and follow the instructions on the screen to download the game. You will know it was successful when a shortcut is created.Before you play…Before you play your first game, you may want to adjust the some settings to make the game run more smoothly on your computer. If you have a computer that is slow, old or isn’t optimized for gaming you may want to change some of the settings to make the game run easier. To do this, go to Video Settings…Graphics: Fast. This disable certain graphical effects (such as transparent leaves and additional rain particles) to increase the performance of the game. Render Distance: 8 chunks or less. The rendering distance determines how far you can see in the distance. The less chunks, the less lag a slower computer will experience. 8 chunks will work on most computers, but if your computer is very slow, lessen it to 4. View Bobbing: OFF. Bobbing is a camera effect that makes it look like your character is walking. Turn it off to slightly increase performance. Starting a new gameTo start a new game, choose one of the following. Singleplayer. A singleplayer game is a game with one player. Single players can choose from two different modes.Survival Mode: In this mode, players are placed on a randomly generated map and must survive monster infested nights. Resources must be mined from the environment and items can be created through a process called crafting. Monsters will actively try to kill the player and being killed will cause a player to lose all of their items and spawn in a random location. Creative Mode: Unlike survival mode, in which players must survive and gather resources, players in creative mode are given access to every material and item in the game. They can freely build whatever they want and monsters cannot harm them. In Creative Mode, players also have the ability to fly, allowing them to create large structures and survey the landscape. Multiplayer. Multiplayer allows multiple players to play a game at the same time. You can either connect through a LAN connection or through a wireless server.Minecraft Realms. A paid program that allows Minecraft users to create and host servers with third-party software or applications. ControlsHere is a screen-shot of some Minecraft first-person perspective.Minecraft is a first-person game, meaning that you play from the perspective of the character. First-person style videogames can be difficult to control at first, but provide a very immersive experience. Here is the list of controls for the game for a keyboard and mouse. (If you have difficulty with this set-up, you can change the controls in the options menu). To look around, move the mouse. Think of the mouse as your head. As you move around the mouse, the character’s head will move also. To move use the W, A, S, D and Space keys on your keyboard. W- forwardA- leftS- backwardsD- rightSpace: jump. Click space and a directional key (the WASD keys) to jump to a particular direction. To attack or destroy an object, left click on your mouse. If you don’t have a weapon, you can punch. Destroying object allows you to mine them.To place a block or item, right click on your mouse. You will drop the item you are currently holding in the area you are facing. 56197502365375Hotbar Slots020000Hotbar Slots521970024828503810001885950Storage slots020000Storage slots14382751943100333375889635Slots for body armor020000Slots for body armor143827594297555530757048502x2crafting area0200002x2crafting area5324475876300196215040322500InventoryIn Minecraft, the goal is to “mine” as much material as possible so you can build tools, shelters and anything else you require for survival. Therefore, you will be carrying and storying a lot of items. Since there are only seven slots for holding items to use, you will need to store items in your inventory for the future. To access your inventory, press the Q button. You should be able to see a picture of your character, a small crafting table, an area for storage and hotbar slots. Hotbar slots: Hotbar slots allow you to use an item in-game. To build with mined materials, use weapons or tools, you must have the item in this slot.To add an item to the hotbar slot, left click the item and drag it to the desired spot. To use an item in the hotbar slot in the game, tap on the # key for the corresponding slot. For example, if you want to use your pickaxe and it’s in the sixth slot, hit the 6 key on your keyboard. Storage slots: Like in real life, you can only carry a limited number of things at the same time. The same is true in Minecraft! Sometimes, you may want to store items that you can’t carry so you can use them again in the future. To add items into storage, left-click on the item and drag it into the storage area. Drop the storage area.You can also save space by stacking identical items on top of each other. To do this, drag one pile on top of the other and release. Basic MaterialsAs suggest by the game’s name, the goal of Minecraft is to mine materials from the environment and use them to craft other items. To mine materials, you must break blocks in the environment. There are so many blocks generated in Minecraft, but here are some of the most common ones.32385013398500WoodWood is found in trees and is most commonly used to create wood blanks, basic pickaxes, crafting tables and torches. You can harvest it by punching so it is often the first block people mine. 3238506731000StoneStone must by mined with a pickaxe to drop cobblestone. This is an abundant block that is used to create study structures.30480016256000LeavesLeaves, like wood, are also found in trees. They can sometimes drop saplings or apples that can be replanted, or by placeable blocks if destroyed with shears. 3048012413100WaterWater can be collected with a bucket. 31432512827000LavaLike in real life, lava can burn you, or possibly kill you, if you touch it. However, in Minecraft, it can be a great light source or a weapon. Collect it with a bucket and be careful not to touch it!3143256096000SandSand can be found throughout The Overworld, mostly in beaches and deserts. It is best mined with a shovel. It is an ingredient in many important things, such as glass, TNT and sandstone. 27622512636500BedrockBedrock is indestructible and can’t be mined. Don’t waste tools trying to break it!27622514859000DirtDirt can be mined from the ground by breaking dirt blocks (though it is best mined with a shovel). Dirt is usually used for farming, but you can also use it to craft course dirt. 25717512763500Coal OreIt can be obtained when mining with a pickaxe. Smelt it with any fuel to create coal. CraftingCrafting is the method by which many blocks, tools, and materials are made in Minecraft. In order to craft something, players must move items from their inventory to a crafting grid. A 2×2 crafting grid can be accessed from the player's inventory. A 3×3 grid can be accessed by using (default: right-clicking) a Crafting Table.38576251778635Crafting menu in crafting table00Crafting menu in crafting table9620251626235Crafting menu in inventory00Crafting menu in inventory96202571437500385762566191400For some items, the arrangement of their ingredients on the crafting grid is unimportant. These are commonly known as shapeless recipes. On the other hand, many of the more important or useful game objects must have their ingredients placed in the correct relative positions on the crafting grid.Some common items to craft: 45815251206500Torches (use wooden stick and coal)00Torches (use wooden stick and coal)4581525-6350023526751177925Sticks (use any type of wooden planks)00Sticks (use any type of wooden planks)2371725-6350001149350Wooden planks (one block of wood creates 4 wooden planks)00Wooden planks (one block of wood creates 4 wooden planks)48482253016250Bed (wool and wooden planks) 00Bed (wool and wooden planks) 484822518256250024860252978150Furnace(cobblestone)00Furnace(cobblestone)2505075182562500952502978150Sword (wooden planks or cobblestone and a stick)00Sword (wooden planks or cobblestone and a stick)9525018065750049815751358900Stairs (wooden planks or cobblestone)00Stairs (wooden planks or cobblestone)24288751282700Pickaxe (wooden planks or cobblestone and sticks)00Pickaxe (wooden planks or cobblestone and sticks)25050759525000060960004981575895350001263650Crafting table (wood planks)00Crafting table (wood planks)Health and HungerJust like if you were surviving in the real world, in Minecraft’s survival mode you have to protect yourself from starvation or physical injury. You can monitor your health or your hunger with the health and hunger meters just hotbar slots. Health: Health is drained when you are attacked by a monster, touch lava, fall from a high height or are starving. It will recover slowly when the player's hunger is at or above 18. Potions of Healing (dropped by witches) will also restore health immediately, the amount depending on the source and effect levHunger: Hunger is drained over time by the player’s actions. It can be recovered by foods, taken from the environment. Note: Be careful! If you die, you will lose all of the items you are carrying! Monsters In Survival Mode, monsters will spawn at night. If you have weapons and armor, you can defend yourself but usually it’s better for you to take shelter in a well-lit area at night. Make sure you don’t stray so far from your base that you can’t find it again before nightfall!Note: If you have a bed, you can sleep through the night. Locations in Minecraft187642529781500The OverworldThe Overworld is where you will first spawn! The world in Minecraft is randomly generated, so you will encounter many interesting things while you are exploring! There are over 61 different biomes in Minecraft, so you may encounter forests, tundras, deserts, lakes, caves, mountains, beaches and much more! Your location will change the types of materials you find, so have fun and explore as much as you can! (Just don’t get lost!)The Nether7035802984500The Nether is a secret location in Minecraft that can be entered by building a Nether Portal. There are many unusual blocks that can be mined from The Nether but it is filled with lava and many monsters, so it’s also very dangerous. The EndWhile Minecraft does not technically have an “ending”, the developers did add a secret location called The End. To get to The End, a player must find and repair the End Portal. It’s a single floating island, populated by Endermen and The Ender Dragon. You cannot leave The End unless you challenge and defeat The Ender Dragon, or you die. After you defeat The Ender Dragon, an exit portal will appear which will launch The End Poem and the credits. However, after returning to The Overworld, you can continue playing the game so it’s not really over. ResourcesMinecraft is a great game but it is large and expansive! Though we covered the basics in this guide, there is still much more to explore. Head over to to learn more about this expansive world. Good luck and have fun!23502478785500 ................
