Well....... I haven't played my first game of survival (and i've had the game for a year..) Not only because im afraid (now im embarrased:Pig:) but because my mom claims its violent!.

But if i decided to play srvivall the second i bought the game i wouldn't have had a noob expeirience anyways (thats what the wiki page is for..)

I started playing pocket edition but about a month later i realized that there was computer version. i got it but found it lonely. i spent a couple days trying to figure out how to join a server. after that i played for a year or too. the rest of the time which was about to or three more years i spent playing with my friends and learning more and more about minecraft! btw i started Computer at about 1.4.

I got brutally mad at my computer/minecraft when I first played because I couldn't chop wood! Then, I google searched it and I had to hold down my mouse NOT rapidly click.

This happened to me as well but on the Xbox

Once, a loooong time ago, when Minecraft was still in like Beta, I was browsing Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged episodes, and I kept getting suckered in by fake "next episode" annotations. They were all for Minecraft, and some dudes mine operation. I was like, "This game looks stupid." Now look!

I tried mining iron with my fist thinking it was coal...



When I finally got wood, I didn't know how to craft anything so I was stuck with random building material.



I thought I could craft a leather helmet in my inventory crafting area.

Took me about 5 minutes, I got pretty frustrated as a 12 year old haha.

I thought squids were aliens.....

When I was new I didn't know how to chop down a tree. I tried repeatedly clicking on it and it took me days to find out that you are supposed to hold it down and not click.

I have a few things. I will try to put them in earliest to latest:

When I made my first world, I was in a plains by a village. I thought the villagers would hurt me, and that they had mineshafts and stuff I could steal. My friend and I LITERALLY spent multiple recesses at school talking about how I could trick the villagers into letting me raid them, and we went really far with it. We were like "ok we break their roofs, then push them outside of the house and make them think we want to talk to them, and the other one of us goes in and raids them".Then I found they were little dumb squidwards.

I thought the world was dumb, deleted it, then made a new one. I spawned in a jungle. I thought it was glitched up crap so I made a few more worlds (which spawned me in jungles) then finally got a forest. I decided to play on that world. However, I thought Minecraft was glitched up because I kept getting out of memory errors and blocks I could see through. --Turns out I had 32 bit java installed. I got 64 bit and that went away.

So I took a few trees of wood, then dug a bunch of dirt with my fist and built a house. There wasn't enough daytime to finish it, so I was sitting there with a half finished roof. I was so scared because I was hearing weird noises outside (mobs) and thought they would scale the wall and climb over my roof (I had no idea they couldn't).

Skipping ahead a little bit, I also built a tree house in a large oak tree. I covered the entrance with dirt, and thought it was safer then my main home incase anyone wanted to kill me (I was in singleplayer, thinking there were people...) and they would expect me to live in a tree. I ended up never using it.

Then I dug a basement in my home, and wanted to start a mine. I was scared too though, because I heard the sound of zombies banging on my door, and thought they were banging on my floor from under the basement... After I got a shaft started, I worked my way down, placing my stairs in the most dangerous place possible, and eventually reached bedrock. I started a tunnel, and whenever I saw dirt underground I thought I hit something awesome (for the reason that dirt was underground...) and once when I dug it i ran into my first diamonds! I dug every single dirt underground until I learned that doesn't help me, and whenever I ran into lava lakes I would patch it up with leaves... Dont ask why I did that.

Then I heard that lapis lazuli existed from somewhere. I hadn't found any, and I thought it was THE BEST THING EVER. I made random tunnels all over my mineshaft until I found it. Then I did what everyone does, tried to make tools! I spent a while and then realized it wasnt possible. I was so angry and threw it in a chest and went back to the mine. Forgot to mention, my tunnels down there were so random and stupid, I kept digging tunnels with side tunnels with side tunnels with side tunnels....

A while later, I learned about obsidian and the nether. I knew you needed a diamond pickaxe, and got some. I dug a room in my basement for the portal, and started clicking on the sides of the portal with my flint and steel. After learning that you needed to light the bottom I jumped in. My portal spawned above lava, neverminding that I ran out and got burned...

Well thats a lot of my noob stories, after that I started learning more and more. I have many more stories but this post is getting big so byez.

When I started Minecraft, I was in 1.2.5. Anyway, I had watched hundreds of videos, read countless pages of the wiki, before I got Minecraft. This means that I had fair knowledge to start with. This basically means that I knew what creepers where, I knew how to craft many starting things, and I knew how to fight most mobs if I need too fight. But I still didn't know how to craft bread and fences (and their gates), among that you shouldn't kill villagers. I later learned, in 1.4, that they can trade, but all the villagers in my tiny village, had all died. The village consisted of 1 sanctuary, 1 large house (L-shaped), 1 large farm, and 1 small farm. However, due to recent "problems" with this computer, I had to reformat it and lost First World (That was actually the name). I fear that I will never get First World back. But there might be a way.

===EDIT===

I finally located a file in an old folder in a drive I originally had, and got First World. So, I have it backed up, and I have been playing in it every once in a while. So yeah, that's pretty much it for my noob story. Hope to tell more of my noob stories.

As always,

My first major noob time was actually when I had a Diamonds! When I found out that you can use lava buckets to smelt stuff, I was like "If you can use lava buckets, why not use lava itself!" So I got 9 diamonds and threw them into the lava. I waited about 10 minutes and then I searched up an article saying lava BURNS your things. I was such a noob. Next I also tried to mine bedrock for about 5min until my friend who was playing Forza Motorsport 3 Demo on my XBOX 360, said "You can't mine bedrock without modding or creative." I was like "Oh"

I bought the game soon after beta was over, not only had I just started out my friend immediately had me download the technic launcher pack, for tekkit. So... not only new to the game... but with 20x the items.

The first time I played, I played on a website called "minecraftforfree" or something like that. It was really simple. My friend would go to school and get crafting recipes from his friends. Now I'm WAY out of my friend's league. I be doing bukkit plugins while he be learning how to ride a horse.

i thought u broke blocks just by clicking and i rage quite 2 becuase i couldn't do anything...then i saw a video and i face palmed so hard then when i went on my world i was a bad builder and kept on giving me a 2x2 house only so that i could fit in my house

I found a village, and had no idea what it was. I built a dirt house and thought that doors were really expensive to make, so I took some from the village. I also tried to take the glass windows. Because there were not too many doors in the village houses, the villagers were all killed. Then I found out you could trade.

Then I discovered Creative mode, and didn't know that I could fly, so made myself dirt scaffolding to build my first house, that wasn't made of dirt. Now I remember that world, and remember being such a noob, knowing nothing about how to open iron doors.

Oh wait... I do have 1 noob story.. One day i managed to muster up the courage to play survival (pocket edition). I spawned on ice, i thought i could collect the ice as a block. Of course i broke the block i was standing on and i quit the world before i could drown cause i was so afraid of the dark underwater.

I gave up on two worlds, twice when I bought in 1.2.5, night came and i didn't know how to craft anything except wooden planks. Tried mining stone with my hand. Looked up how to play minecraft and discovered PSJ's videos. Started a new world, but never wanted to go mining.

I Started in Alpha 1.2.6, but i joined the forums today because i think my english is good enough (im brazilian) and my first Noob-Time was searching for coal like you searching for your pants. And also feeling awesome with my diamond "staff" (that was a hoe) trying to kill a skeleton with it. Well, i hasnt any beefs to cure myself, so i... DIED.

When first I bought Minecraft, I thought that mobs meant angry mobs of people charging at you with pitchforks and torches. I got confused when no angry mobs of people spawned. XD
