The Mushroom Biome is the safest and most peaceful place to be

Want some peace and calm? Head over to your closest Mushroom Biome where hostile mobs won’t spawn in unless there’s a mob spawner nearby or you didn’t sleep for 3 days, in which case phantoms would start pursuing you.

Use the right potions

You now have the resources you need to brew some potions. In that case, depending on what kind of work you need to do, prepare some potions so that your work becomes easier. Use water breathing potions to stay underwater for longer periods of time, fire resistance potions to stop yourself from going up in flames or a health potion to fix yourself up.

Make use of the most efficient mining tools

Using an axe, pickaxe or shovel enchanted with Fortune III will allow you to collect more drops per block. This means that with a Fortune III Pickaxe, you can get multiple drops from a single block of diamond ore rather than a single drop per diamond ore. Similarly, the Efficiency Enchantment allows you to break down blocks more efficiently.

Explore!

Once you have a base and enough resources, go out into the wild to truly enjoy the game and expand your world. Just remember the bare essentials you need to survive in the wild and untamed lands and you’re good to go.

Craft Planks from the Wood

Once you have acquired enough wood (minimum 3), open your inventory by pressing the three little dots at the bottom of your screen. Select the crafting menu which is shown as a small brown box on the right side. Select the wood that you just cut and place it on any of the four boxes. You will see that these are converted into four ‘wood planks‘. These planks will be used in another step in the future. 3. Build a Shelter Minecraft Beginner’s Guide with Tips and Tricks This is the single most important thing for your survival in the game. As you begin your journey in the world of Minecraft, we suggest you as a guide to first build your shelter before anything else. As the game follows a proper time. During nightfall, one should be safe from all the mobs (explained in Step 6) to save themselves from dying. Your first shelter should be made of dirt. This is basically the stuff that you are standing on. Break these blocks by pressing and holding on the screen till the required time and you’ll automatically pick them up if nearby. For a simple 5x4x3 house, you need about 60 blocks of dirt. Anyone with a simple idea about constructing a hollow box will manage to build this without any problem.

Hunt for Food

Minecraft Beginner’s Guide with Tips and Tricks Food is the most important factor for your survival as this will help you replenish your health and will make sure you can run. A small meter alongside your health bar is the hunger meter. If empty, it will affect your health and sprint speed. To make sure you are active and healthy you need to hunt for food. There are many animals in the game which are harmless and can be hunted for meat. Like

  • Sheep
  • Cow
  • Pig
  • Chicken There are ways to stay vegan too by staying alive on apples that can be found on trees or bread that can be stolen from chests in nearby villages (explained at Step 9).

Keep an eye on the durability of your tools

It’s always very frustrating when you’re mining and your last pickaxe breaks or you’re trying to take down a horde of zombies when your sword breaks or your elytra breaks while you’re flying around in your world. Remember it’s cheaper to fix up your gear instead of making a new one when it breaks. As the saying goes “A stitch in time saves nine”.

Make a Crafting Table

A crafting table basically unlocks the ability to craft items by combining two or more materials of the different or the same kind. To make a crafting table you need: 4 wood planks (any type) Open the crafting menu from the inventory as explained before and place these four planks on the four boxes. Take the crafting table and place it into your inventory.

Keep Mining

As the name of the game goes, mining is your primary profession and the game is filled with many precious materials to explore and caves to conquer. Some of these useful materials in the sequence of rarity are:

  • Stone
  • Coal
  • Iron
  • Emerald
  • Obsidian
  • Lapis Lazuli
  • Redstone
  • Gold
  • Diamond The perfect way to begin mining is to simply start digging nearby in a stepwise manner for easy exit and entry. Now to acquire these materials and reduce the time to dig, one needs to craft a Pickaxe. To craft a wodden pickaxe,(there are other types of pickaxe too but one should not care about them at the moment)you need 3 wood planks and 2 Sticks. To craft a stick simply put two wodden planks together to acquire 4 of them.

Craft a Torch and a Door

These two don’t really have a necessity to be crafted but having them helps a lot to improve and smoothen your shelter. To craft a Torch, mine coal (minimum 1) and a stick. Fuse them together in the crafting table to make a torch. This will help you to see in dark places while you’re mining or inside your shelter to lighten it up In order to craft a Door, take 6 wooden planks and fuse them column-wise in the crafting table, this will remove the problem of breaking your shelter’s wall every day.
