When you first went on the magical world of minecraft and created a world. What did you do? Did you know how to play properly and what did your first house look like? Anything about your first 'ever' survival world is welcome!
My First survival was in beta 1.1 and a friend referred me to minecraft. But I had no idea how to play. I couldn't even punch blocks properly. But when I finally got familiar with stuff I made a 2 story house and some ugly stairs that led up to the second floor. I never knew how to go to the nether back then. I was so Noob.

Hey TheWizdo
well in my topic you heard me I was a noob for 2 months
anyway, I didn't know how to change the difficulty level so I as stuck on normal
my house was built out of dirt,
I had a pole that stuck up for a bowing fest
I only got arrows by killing skeletons same with bows
hardly found iron
made a man made cave
all about ravens
I jumped off a jungle tree and lost all my iron armor
didn't find a SINGLE diamond
blew up many times
shot many times
drowned many times
infected many times
you get the point
made tunnels from man made cave to man made cave
didn't find a SINGLE piece of gold (not that it was important)
got lost many times (still don't know how I managed to get back)
didn't find a temple of any sort
didn't find cows or pigs or chickens
found NO redstone
This is the first main base I made in single player survival. It's a little on the weird side. And apparently I have a large chest full of glowstone in my bedroom. Not sure why...
The area where the base is used to be a small mountain/large hill on the edge of a coastal jungle area. I initially had made a small shack on the top of it. Eventually I disassembled the whole thing, and even filled in the sea where it used to be. It was actually very difficult to get the water level and not flowing in spots as this was before the water dynamics were updated.
Done in survival normal difficulty, and without "cheating" in any way.

I had a really nice survival world back in Minecraft 1.2.5, and I made pretty good progress on it even in my noob days. However, Minecraft 1.3 was inbound, and one day my friend told me that you need to delete every world you have when an update comes out to prevent "Herobrine hacking your account". So, I regretfully deleted that world and have been neurologically depressed ever since.
My house in my very first world was a 7x7 sand box with no roof or windows. I spent the nights, with a wood sword, waiting for spiders. That world is now long gone...
My very first world, i remember me jumping around, breaking stuff, then finally figuring out what to do, and i made a a small cobblestone house in the side of a cave.. I actually had some good progress on that game.
All my first worlds or old worlds are long gone, since they all got corrupted with the change from the beta time to the first release, and i typically delete worlds unless they're something super epic and start from fresh every week or so. I kind of miss those worlds..

If I make another move there'll be no more turning back~
The first world, the "Demo World", so not me that created it
It was back then when minecraft still ver. 1.5.1 (I know, it just like some weeks ago), When the first time I experience minecraft on myself
Before I know some rules that in minecraft, I'm just broke some, like just see around the map without minding the time
After the dark comes in, I'm just dig 3 block straight down and cover it, just waiting until the morning
10 Minutes have passed, I hear some skeleton burning, so I'm going to get out with digging the cover block, guess what? the skeleton just fall and shoot me, luckily I have an wooden sword.
Before I know the beds, I'm just going to do that again, and in the day, I chopped a lot of wood, with my hands
One night, I expand my hidey hole for some space, I found some stones, coal, and gravel, and 3 iron
So I make an furnace to smelt it, and keep expanding, of course I lit it, or creeper would blow me in there
Make an stone axe, now I got more wood for some purpose (I'm still don't know what I'm going to do with that much)
Keep digging my hole, suddenly, I found some sands, and I think that I'm near the beach near there
Began digging it and make some doors, so I don't have to dig and cover it anymore
And now I can call it an "bunker" to avoid those monsters
Seeing some big mountains, I decided to check it, there was some coal and iron in there, and some path leading to the top of the mountain
Begin to climb it, and then fall of from the ledge, I almost died with that, so I going back to my bunker
While going back to my bunker, I found some sheep, so I killed them for their wool, but didn't know what purpose of it
I found some chickens too, killed it and cook it
After that, I began to build my first house that connected to my bunker, it's still looks like an cubic home, but have stair roof
Having second floor makes it great, I can sniper some mobs in there with my bow I found after killed an skeleton, but have a problem of the arrows
I began to dig down to find more resources, what I did is digging staircase, so I can easily going up and down
Hitted the bedrock, now I digging near it, and no diamond, no lava, no gold, just iron and coal
Then I'm digging more ways near there, I found some ravine, with lava! and redstones
A zombie jumped down there and I killed it, drop some gold armors, but got burned by lava
Keep digging near there, and finally I found diamonds!, 4 diamonds in total and I found some golds
When I think, I can found something more in there, like villagers, so I prepared and going to have an journey, and without paying attention, I'm not point my home!
Find some ravine with some iron, I going down there and mine it, and the day almost over! (back then I'm still feared the darkness)
So I going up with making pillars of cobblestone, and....
"Realtime911 was doomed fall by skeleton"
I can't find where the ravine is, so I lost an diamond pickaxe, and some good iron stuff
So I restarted the world (I made an backup), and doing new things
In total, I have restarted 10 times, just because some items burned down, or can't get them again
I'm not sure what happened to my very, very first world, but back in Alpha, but I remember building a home on top of a mountain (Didn't think to take pics back then :() I was tired of going up and down the mountain for resources so I built stairs down, instead of building on the mountain -scape however; for some reason I dug into the mountain and actually had them going into the mountain.. They became so long I nick-named them the Stairs to Heeeeellllll! I remember actually coming out of the mountain side too.
The stuff in my first kept saved world from Alpha had ugly, ugly buildings. My idea was to build sky-bridges from mountain top to mountain top with a home on each. (Something I hope to redo in survival in 2014 on an amplified world!) Between mountain #1 and #2 there was a massive crater sized cave in the ground (Keep in mind Alpha terrain generation!) so in 2011 I began converting that into an underground home.
Here's the original 2010 stuff though:
Resource pack: Better Than Default.
The temporary fort to begin with that became permanent. I never landscaped back then made the area bigger, just built on it as was.
First N00by house:
2nd sky-bridge, originally I wanted it all glass but knew I couldn't stick torches to glass blocks. Never occured tome to add border/occasional columns with any block for them! So it ended up as cobble. Three times the length of the first bridge due to how far away mountain #3 was.
Last home:
Somwhere on that other mountain was the first portal!
I got bored after the third home, didn't touch the world until mid 2011 again when as I said I started converting the huge cave between mountains 1 & 2 into an underground home. Have always left the 2010 buildings as they were.
Home #3 in hindsight is again poorly chose spot or where I never expanded the area, resulting in it being very narrow inside! The second wooden home is one big ugly , long wood hut, dirt ceilings cobble floor, no furnishings! The only good thing is the multiple skylights!

It was back in 1.3.2 if I recall. I had watched some YouTube videos of MineCraft so I knew basically what to do.
I spawned in a jungle biome (which I had never seen in a video) and found my way to a small lake between a few mountains, gathering some wood along the way (chopping the wood by hand since I hadn't bothered to make an axe yet).
I started building a tiny wooden shack. I put in a crafting table and a door and then made a wooden pickaxe and gathered some cobblestone from a nearby cliff side. I made a furnace, gathered some sand from the lake's shore, and made some glass for windows. I didn't know about glass panes yet (I never saw them in the videos that I had watched), so the windows were made from full glass blocks.
I cheated to give myself a bed since there weren't any sheep anywhere near where I spawned. The next day, I decided to go exploring and got lost. I dug a little shack into the side of a mountain and cheated to give myself another bed. Not long after that, I deleted that world.
Man, the memories. I always kept the wiki open in a browser window to look up recipes and item IDs. I wouldn't want to go back to being a noob (I love my tech mods too much to give up having the know-how to use them), but MineCraft definitely was full of wonder back then.

The source of my intention isn't really crime prevention; my intention is prevention of the lie! Yeah, welcome to the Scatman's world!
My first world was back in Beta 1.2. I knew basic game mechanics and most of the crafting recipes, but that was about it. I built three houses along a river (it was more like a particularly long and narrow lake) and moved between them each day. I remember that at the time, I didn't know Nether portals had sound, so I built one in the middle of one of my houses. I found the portal sounds to be so creepy that I never went in that house again unless I wanted to go through the portal.
I still have my first survival world (excluding the demo), which you can see here; I started it in 1.5.1 and played it for about half a year, exploring an area about 2200x4000 blocks; it used the seed -123775873255737467 (I've since reused this seed, including for my current world, which is otherwise as different from this word as the same seed in 1.7, aside from ocean/landmasses):
Of course, no map of any of my worlds is complete without the underground; at the time I thought this was some insane cave seed (and does contain the largest cave systems/complexes I've seen in any vanilla world, including "insane/huge/massive cave" seeds that I check out in the Seeds subforum), but this was more or less the norm for vanilla before 1.7, and still is to an extent:
That aside, here is a rendering of my main base; I also made secondary bases as I explored further out, up to 2,500 blocks from spawn (where I've always built my main base, even literally on top of spawn in my current world):
Of note; I've since made my bases in pretty much the same way, with different layouts, including an artificial village in place of the naturally generated village you see here. Also, I initially stored what I mined as actual blocks in a large basement room, before I realized just how much room they would start taking up; as I recall, I had around a thousand iron blocks before I mined them and put them in a single chest, which were initially arranged haphazardly using signs to label the contents (iron, gold, redstone, etc), then I arranged them into corridors, as I do to this day (as seen in this screenshot taken while building my current base, except underground); by the time I stopped playing the world I had three double chests, plus a bit more, filled with iron blocks, all mined.
As for starting out, I already knew pretty much everything as I'd watched YouTube videos and played on the demo version, although I didn't specifically search for a stronghold or think of going to the End until I found one while caving, more than a month after I started playing it (I killed the dragon on my first try and was really over-prepared; I had diamond armor with Protection, Thorns, and all that, while regular iron armor and sword are all I use now, with a Power V bow being the only enchanted item I use). I was also slow to start using "permanent" enchanted items; I used up several hundred iron pickaxes (level-1 enchanting around 4 before entering a cave) over the first couple months or so before I finally started using an enchanted diamond pickaxe (aside from a Fortune III pickaxe for diamonds only), eventually progressing to using all-diamond gear and Ender chests for extra inventory (previously only used to transport more stuff back to my main base at one time; I haven't made secondary bases since (I also had a rail system linking them) because each caving session lasts for many hours, instead of several return trips per play session (I even initially took just a few stacks of torches instead of wood), although might do so if I progress far enough away in my current world.
Oh my gosh, that world was a disaster. Well, here we go, I have a story for you. The story of my first adventure of Minecraft.
CanaryCasserole's First Adventure
It started one day, the day after I bought Minecraft. I spawned on a hill, next to a grove of trees. I knew exactly what to do, being addicted to video s of the game prior. I started punching down trees, and got about twenty logs. I then made the crafting table, a sword, a pickaxe, an axe, and a shovel. I got some coal and stone that day, and made a stone pickaxe.It was getting dark. So, I made a little wooden shack on the plains. I put all my items into a chest, and made a bed with some wool I had. I slept through the night, and gathered up all the items the mobs dropped in the morning. There were a lot, so I decided to put some torches around the area to prevent spawning. So, I did, then went and mined for some more stuff. I got some iron, and made a furnace to smelt it. It got dark again, but I decided to go out and fight. Worst mistake ever.
Those creepers blew me and the side of my shack up. It was dark, and I was alone with no stuff. I had to get there fast before it de-spawned. But it was a really far walk, so It was hopeless. I still tried to get there. I never found that place again. I must have walked right past it, but I never noticed. I just kept on walking. So, I decided I just had to restart. When I got some tools and items, I ran upon an extreme hills biome. I decided I could build my base there.
I flattened it out to the perfect height, and made the foundations of my base there. I made the house out of stone and all types of wood. The walls were stone, and the roof was a combination of oak, birch, and spruce. I didn't have jungle at the time. The floors were oak wood. I dug a basement for my secret base of everything. There was even a secret SECRET base that had an enchanting table in it. Now, there some animals there, so I decided to make an animal pen. Once I did, I made a bunch of random things. I planted every single type of tree, except jungle, which I didn't have at the time. I made a mine, which went into a very deep cave system. Once I found obsidian, I made a nether portal. this is when I started getting REALLY MAD.
I went into the portal. I had two sets of iron armor and one of gold in my chests at the time. I went into the nether being barraged by ghasts and the sort. I forgot to bring blocks, so I got some soul sand and made some paths. I had to find a nether fortress to get a blaze spawner, so I looked for one. There wasn't one in sight. I couldn't exactly go anywhere, because the nether has so much lava and I had to make paths to go anywhere. I had low health from ghasts, so I fell from a great height onto some soul sand, thinking it would break my fall. It didn't. I lost the set of iron armor I had on, which was floating on the soul sand platform. I went through the portal to get the items, punching a zombie pigman on the way out of my anger. Didn't work out so well. All the zombie pigmen started to attack me, and made my set of armor seem useless. I got the set of gold armor, and the extra sword I had. It didn't help. Lost that, too. So, I just continually went through the portal and died. I must have died like 30 times before I gave up.
So, I just decided to get a jungle sapling. I just walked in one direction until I found one. The I planted it and got more saplings than I could count. I went mining, and didn't find anything. The rest is basically history, since I lost that save because I installed forge wrong at the time, and I didn't know I would lose my saves if I deleted the whole .minecraft file. But everything before I lost the file and after I lost my items I don't really remember anymore.
Oh crud... This ones rather funny
The story of the first world, and RonWilliam's first nether portal.
Here's the story of my first (really 2nd) world in the land of Minecraft beta 1.7.3! (I'm not that new, lol)
Okay, I don't know how to break anything. I thought you had to spam click after watching an MC Alpha tutorial video. So I get a bunch of seeds, and after about an hour of being angry at myself for not punching down the tree, I finally figured out how to puch stuff down. I knew all the wood & stone tool recipes, and the other basic ones from videos. I settle in a cliff on the side of a lake. The main room had very little. I had a ton of staircases with rooms every 10 blocks that had different things. The last one was at bedrock. Then I realized the place sucked, and I moved too a snow biome a found with a ton of flat land near the coast. I made an enormus wooden plank tower, and my first cake. Alright, in an attempt to make my tower floating I burned down the bottom. Except it spreaded everywhere else. So I had a rubble of stuff and a tiny minecart track with a chicken trapped in the minecart (It was experimental, I had no clue how minecarts or redstone worked). Then I made my first Nether portal. So I jump in, with nothing but wood picks for fear of losing stuff. My portal apparently links up to a tiny netherrack floating island above the lava ocean. Ugh. So the idea was too get glowstone and get out. But I had too play on peaceful because ghasts kept making the floating island smaller and smaller. After getting some glowstone I made the crappiest castle ever, and then I started playing exclusively on an old beta 1.7 server (unforunately it went away in beta 1.8) and I think by the time the Adventure Update was out I had made a new world.
My first survival world was called Chakari, and was created in Beta 1.8. I spawned in a flat area and started to look around, and as i wandered a bit i suddenly saw a huge hill in the distance, i went to this area and started my first "house"against one side of the hill, and right next to a natural cave with a water entrance. I built my initials into a large kind of wall i'd constructed to help me locate my base when i went too far (still got
lost regularly).
I basically went upwards and eventually scaled the top of the hill where i flattened it and started to build my first proper house, although when i look back on it it was just too square!
I then moved all my stuff to the new house and turned the old area into a kind of growing area and changed the staircase i had that took me up and down to a water chute and ladder arrangement
After i moved in i decided i didnt like the top half so tried to be completely different and built a huge circular obsidian/glass section on top as a single room, with some decorative towers on top. I was actually quite pleased with it and it looked good at night ...
I was in that house for quite a while, but got fed up going up and down, so ended up building a more conventional house back down on the lower level. Thats basically how that house stayed as my main base ....
Some friends told me about Minecraft back in 1.3.2 and I (pirated it) downloaded it, made a world in Creative and built a floating house made of bricks. But In the first survival world I made, I didn't know what to do and I started breaking stuff with my hands and I started mining an underground base with my fists which took forever xD
You know how people joke about building a dirt house? Well, in my first world, I built a sand house, with a dirt roof. It was a small shack I built on Peaceful which I eventually moved from into a nice, wooden plank house. What started as a simple one story house eventually grew into a large, three-story house! Though, I thought it looked incredibly ugly on the outside, as it looked like a giant wooden plank with some glass and a door. I soon deleted it due to how ugly my house was, which I very much regret. My house even had a nice outlook. (Though, I made this world in the early days of the Xbox version, I play on the PC now)
My First survival was in beta 1.1 and a friend referred me to minecraft. But I had no idea how to play. I couldn't even punch blocks properly. But when I finally got familiar with stuff I made a 2 story house and some ugly stairs that led up to the second floor. I never knew how to go to the nether back then. I was so Noob.
well in my topic you heard me I was a noob for 2 months
anyway, I didn't know how to change the difficulty level so I as stuck on normal
my house was built out of dirt,
I had a pole that stuck up for a bowing fest
I only got arrows by killing skeletons same with bows
hardly found iron
made a man made cave
all about ravens
I jumped off a jungle tree and lost all my iron armor
didn't find a SINGLE diamond
blew up many times
shot many times
drowned many times
infected many times
you get the point
made tunnels from man made cave to man made cave
didn't find a SINGLE piece of gold (not that it was important)
got lost many times (still don't know how I managed to get back)
didn't find a temple of any sort
didn't find cows or pigs or chickens
found NO redstone
any way that's pretty much how it went down lol
The area where the base is used to be a small mountain/large hill on the edge of a coastal jungle area. I initially had made a small shack on the top of it. Eventually I disassembled the whole thing, and even filled in the sea where it used to be. It was actually very difficult to get the water level and not flowing in spots as this was before the water dynamics were updated.

Of course, no map of any of my worlds is complete without the underground; at the time I thought this was some insane cave seed (and does contain the largest cave systems/complexes I've seen in any vanilla world, including "insane/huge/massive cave" seeds that I check out in the Seeds subforum), but this was more or less the norm for vanilla before 1.7, and still is to an extent:
That aside, here is a rendering of my main base; I also made secondary bases as I explored further out, up to 2,500 blocks from spawn (where I've always built my main base, even literally on top of spawn in my current world):
Of note; I've since made my bases in pretty much the same way, with different layouts, including an artificial village in place of the naturally generated village you see here. Also, I initially stored what I mined as actual blocks in a large basement room, before I realized just how much room they would start taking up; as I recall, I had around a thousand iron blocks before I mined them and put them in a single chest, which were initially arranged haphazardly using signs to label the contents (iron, gold, redstone, etc), then I arranged them into corridors, as I do to this day (as seen in this screenshot taken while building my current base, except underground); by the time I stopped playing the world I had three double chests, plus a bit more, filled with iron blocks, all mined.
As for starting out, I already knew pretty much everything as I'd watched YouTube videos and played on the demo version, although I didn't specifically search for a stronghold or think of going to the End until I found one while caving, more than a month after I started playing it (I killed the dragon on my first try and was really over-prepared; I had diamond armor with Protection, Thorns, and all that, while regular iron armor and sword are all I use now, with a Power V bow being the only enchanted item I use). I was also slow to start using "permanent" enchanted items; I used up several hundred iron pickaxes (level-1 enchanting around 4 before entering a cave) over the first couple months or so before I finally started using an enchanted diamond pickaxe (aside from a Fortune III pickaxe for diamonds only), eventually progressing to using all-diamond gear and Ender chests for extra inventory (previously only used to transport more stuff back to my main base at one time; I haven't made secondary bases since (I also had a rail system linking them) because each caving session lasts for many hours, instead of several return trips per play session (I even initially took just a few stacks of torches instead of wood), although might do so if I progress far enough away in my current world.
TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
It started one day, the day after I bought Minecraft. I spawned on a hill, next to a grove of trees. I knew exactly what to do, being addicted to video s of the game prior. I started punching down trees, and got about twenty logs. I then made the crafting table, a sword, a pickaxe, an axe, and a shovel. I got some coal and stone that day, and made a stone pickaxe.It was getting dark. So, I made a little wooden shack on the plains. I put all my items into a chest, and made a bed with some wool I had. I slept through the night, and gathered up all the items the mobs dropped in the morning. There were a lot, so I decided to put some torches around the area to prevent spawning. So, I did, then went and mined for some more stuff. I got some iron, and made a furnace to smelt it. It got dark again, but I decided to go out and fight. Worst mistake ever.
Those creepers blew me and the side of my shack up. It was dark, and I was alone with no stuff. I had to get there fast before it de-spawned. But it was a really far walk, so It was hopeless. I still tried to get there. I never found that place again. I must have walked right past it, but I never noticed. I just kept on walking. So, I decided I just had to restart. When I got some tools and items, I ran upon an extreme hills biome. I decided I could build my base there.
I flattened it out to the perfect height, and made the foundations of my base there. I made the house out of stone and all types of wood. The walls were stone, and the roof was a combination of oak, birch, and spruce. I didn't have jungle at the time. The floors were oak wood. I dug a basement for my secret base of everything. There was even a secret SECRET base that had an enchanting table in it. Now, there some animals there, so I decided to make an animal pen. Once I did, I made a bunch of random things. I planted every single type of tree, except jungle, which I didn't have at the time. I made a mine, which went into a very deep cave system. Once I found obsidian, I made a nether portal. this is when I started getting REALLY MAD.
I went into the portal. I had two sets of iron armor and one of gold in my chests at the time. I went into the nether being barraged by ghasts and the sort. I forgot to bring blocks, so I got some soul sand and made some paths. I had to find a nether fortress to get a blaze spawner, so I looked for one. There wasn't one in sight. I couldn't exactly go anywhere, because the nether has so much lava and I had to make paths to go anywhere. I had low health from ghasts, so I fell from a great height onto some soul sand, thinking it would break my fall. It didn't. I lost the set of iron armor I had on, which was floating on the soul sand platform. I went through the portal to get the items, punching a zombie pigman on the way out of my anger. Didn't work out so well. All the zombie pigmen started to attack me, and made my set of armor seem useless. I got the set of gold armor, and the extra sword I had. It didn't help. Lost that, too. So, I just continually went through the portal and died. I must have died like 30 times before I gave up.
So, I just decided to get a jungle sapling. I just walked in one direction until I found one. The I planted it and got more saplings than I could count. I went mining, and didn't find anything. The rest is basically history, since I lost that save because I installed forge wrong at the time, and I didn't know I would lose my saves if I deleted the whole .minecraft file. But everything before I lost the file and after I lost my items I don't really remember anymore.
Well, that's the story. I hope you liked it.

The story of the first world, and RonWilliam's first nether portal.
Here's the story of my first (really 2nd) world in the land of Minecraft beta 1.7.3! (I'm not that new, lol)
lost regularly).
I basically went upwards and eventually scaled the top of the hill where i flattened it and started to build my first proper house, although when i look back on it it was just too square!
I then moved all my stuff to the new house and turned the old area into a kind of growing area and changed the staircase i had that took me up and down to a water chute and ladder arrangement
After i moved in i decided i didnt like the top half so tried to be completely different and built a huge circular obsidian/glass section on top as a single room, with some decorative towers on top. I was actually quite pleased with it and it looked good at night ...
I was in that house for quite a while, but got fed up going up and down, so ended up building a more conventional house back down on the lower level. Thats basically how that house stayed as my main base ....
Mintutor now works in 1.13!
MrKite & Mc_Etlam ... I salute you!
My first world was in Beta 1.3
(pirated it)downloaded it, made a world in Creative and built a floating house made of bricks. But In the first survival world I made, I didn't know what to do and I started breaking stuff with my hands and I started mining an underground base with my fists which took forever xDTrue Story
