When I started Minecraft, I was not a noob. I was a newb. There's a difference. and really the correct spelling for the second is newbie. Noob is an insult referring to somebody who refuses to learn how to play a game well, and consistently insists that they're doing it correctly.
As far as being a newb goes, I wasn't one for long since one of the first things I did was look stuff up on the Minecraft Wiki, and for a while before-hand I was watching PaulSoaresJr's How to Survive videos.
I lived in my sand and dirt 4x4 house and all i did was go find creepers make them explode. Then I when and dug a stairway down about 15 blocks when to surface came back found a creeper there got scared then blocked it off So when i found a sheep i decided to move there and when my friends told me about pickaxes i make a wood one found some iron the found i needed a stone one so i dug for 6 hours through stone looking for stone (I know it sounds really dumb but its true)Then it was like everyone elses story

"If I where a flower, I would want legs." -Me At 4AM
Before I started Minecraft I watched a few videos.
Just spawned, got some wood, made tools, an ugly two floor house on Survival, and then the only thing that I always did was searching food, just that, I was afraid of entering caves because of the sounds and the mobs and I never got more than 3 iron ingots, I played on peaceful.
Also, I made a wooden axe, and never used it, to get trees, I got them with wooden pickaxes.
First time i played minecraft i played in creative mode. I quickly made a wooden log house for the night but later i found that you are invincible in creative.
Also in my first survival world, when i was aimlessly walking around with no clue what to do, i found a village. It was getting dark. I quickly got into a house. Then some weird cavemen monsters thingies came inside. They scared me at first so i punched one but quickly learned that they are harmless, silly looking squidwards.
Also later i discovered Peaceful mode, and used that. I was too scared of Easy mode or higher. I was scared of caves if the difficulty was not peaceful, i avoided them as much as possible. I still am a bit scared of caves
I bought minecraft in 1.2.5. I knew you had to mine trees, but I thought you spammed left click to break it. I thought you had to get cobblestone from villages. I thought you had to eat meat cooked. I thought squids were hostile. I thought dark areas killed you (after flying into the void on creative.) I did not know how to fly!!!

I just took the Minecraft Noob test! Check out what I scored. Think you can beat me?!
Started in 1.2.5, i bought minecraft because i saw all this youtube videos of people making awesome castles.
When i opened the game i saw a button saying gamemode, i had no idea what that was (i always ignore stuff when i first start a game) i thought i may get it to be creative if i pushed the button a couple of times, but instead of getting it to creative i made it hardcore.
When i got in my new fresh world i started punching dirt, and sand.
I tried to make a tunnel under a dessert it didn't work well.
Then i met this green creature.
One of them exploded (but didn't kill me) but the other ones in the area didn't (mostly because they died of the first creeper explosion)
So i thought it was some friendly and some hostile creepers. Next day i walked into what i thought was a friendly creeper and got killed.
Then i started visiting the wiki to know what the heck i need to do.

I spent. 6 weeks spying on my friends to know about blocks monsters and mining. I then spent 8weeks learning everything about every mob, block and mechanic. I did download the pocket edition demo and thought zombies were creepers before going to the wiki
Well I had started playing Minecraft a while back on McPe Demo. So when I bought the full version, I was freaking out at how many different hostile mobs there were! In the demo there were only zombies! I was like, "Ooh! What is the weird green tall thing? Aah! It's hissing at me!" BOOM!

I didn't know how to change slots (hotbar) and I was like lemme look into the controls! I saw hotkeys. I clicked the hotkeys instead of scroll bar for the whole day. I was in creative mode luckily. This was when I was playing MC PC, I played PE before, so I knew a bit. But, now I feel stupid bceause I had to look at my keyboard everytime I wanted to change inventory slots. I accidentally hit my scroll wheel before realising that I could scroll Well, I have not played a legit game before MC on the computer.

My noob story sucked.
INSTALL
So I waited a very long time before I could buy minecraft. I watched tutorials on what to do and I just got myself really pumped up about it. Then one day I finally got it. HOORAY I HAS MINECRAFT! So I waited the 5 hours it took to load and when it was finally done I ran minecraft 1.2.5 (as was the version when I got it) It loaded up and I went to run my first world.
SINGLEPLAYER
My bro was right beside me watching, ready either to congratulate me or call me an idiot when suddenly a world pops up. In my mind I'm thinking,
"HOLY YES! IT"S WORKING! I'M TOTAL TECH MASTER!"
Then I see what the world is. I spawned on a beach. I saw the beautiful ocean for as far as the max render distance was. Then I turned around and looked for my first tree. All the while it's lagging horribly because my computer was a laptop and wasn't even made for games to be played on it. I took a few steps and I was in the water again. I look all around while my bro's laughing at me. I was on a survival island minus the tree. All I could see was endless ocean and the tiny island I spawned on.
SERVER
Then, I had the great Idea. Minecraft servers! The have cool worlds. or so I thought... I looked on the internet and I found one that looked really cool. It said lots of cool things that I didn't understand such as "PvP". I got on the world and I saw that I had iron tools already. I accidentally dropped my iron sword and someone took it. Then I decided to walk out and find a tree again, This time I found a rainforest. As I left spawn I puzzled over what "YOU HAVE ENTERED THE WARZONE!" meant. I decided to ignore it. I actually made a small base in a tree. Then I saw that someone wanted torches and I decided to help. I got down from my tree and I went to find coal. I couldn't get into the ground. The blocks were replacing themselves so I decided to go elsewhere. The I saw some people running at me with axes and swords. The only thing that went through my head was.
"YAY! Someone wants to help me find coal! Now I'll get that person those torches for sure! :D"
Then I got brutally murdered.
That day wasn't sofun at the time but now that I understand what was going on It's pretty funny.

I didn't know how to use right click to place a single block in crafting. I made 4 planks at a time and put them in separate stacks. Then made buttons until each stack was 1. After that I put the 4 separate planks in the 2x2 and made a crafting table. That was the only thing I knew how to do for the first month I played. =)
On my first night I was milling around until I saw an enderman. My friend who was teaching me how to play quickly explained that endermen were one of the hardest mobs in the game, but they would only be enraged if I looked directly at them. I then asked if they had any good drops, which of course they do... and that's how I ended up fighting an enderman with my bare hands!
destroyed some high grass that way I got seeds, I got poppy later.
Thought poppy has higher damage value than seeds.
Found and killed sheep.
found and killed some pigs.
Night time!
ZOMBIES!!
I couldn't kill anyone of them, I got killed.
NEW WORLD!
Did stuff.
Nighttime!
ZOMBIES!
killed one or two.
SKELETONS!
*shot*
PEACEFUL MODE
Found some ores(didnt knew they were ores before) punched them until they broke, got nothing!
*fell from high*
I started reading the stuff in the wiki and so I got less nooby.

I'm a pixel artist who makes pixel things and maps! I also do line art occasionally.
I have two work in progress resource packs!
This is the second one!
And of course, by "work-in-progress" I mean "will never, ever be completed".
