Thanks for helping me out! Didn't have a clue! :biggrin.gif:

Helpful for Beginners!

I think, due to the sheer info overload of this OP, that things should be split up into multiple threads, with multiple levels of learning. I think a full thread could be just devoted to things of the Nether, since it's so easy to avoid that it would seem to clog up the other threads, and has so much going on with it. And I mean, I think the new people know exactly how "new" they are, so they'd generally pick the right thread. I propose the splitting up of this thread into:

1) The First Night: punch the tree (how to harvest a block), stick, planks, axe, pickaxe, first night shelter (most basic method, dig a hole in side of mountain and block it up behind you only leaving 1x1 hole, light with torch), torches, furnace, coal/charcoal, passive mobs, meat and cooking it, sand/gravel & gravity, chests.

2) The Next Week: smelting, iron pickaxe (upgrade tools), sword, shovel, bed, making a safe area outside, fences, overworld hostile mobs, buckets, lava and water behavior, breathing meter, basic blocks (natural ones found near surface), shears.

3) Settlement: Everything farming, from rare things to not so rare, animal and plant.

4) For Adventure! (Overworld): Gold Isn't Godmode, armor, Diamonds, how to protect your diamonds (and anything else) from lava (while mining or from chests/you catching fire), Monster Spawning algorithms (the basic bit, like hostiles need darkness and to be a certain distance range from you), Dungeons, monster spawner, mossy cobblestone, obsidian, ravines, abandoned mine shafts, strongholds, End portals, block 97

5) Redstone, from Beginner to Tinkerer: A lot of links to respected threads on the redstone forums, but also for the beginning stuff basic tutorials on what redstone is, how to mine it, and what devices you can use it with. Levers, pressure plates and buttons for door operation. An introduction to logic gates. You all who are better at redstone things than I am know the drill. Just keep it simple, we just want to get it to the point they're tinkering on their own. Beyond that would probably be legitimately called at least moderate, if not advanced.

6) To Hell and Back- The Nether: everything about the Nether. Everything. There's enough parallels here to what's in the overworld that it shouldn't be too much to handle for the beginner who's gotten to this point.

7) Witchcraft, I Say!: All enchanting, potions, brewing, etc. There's supposed to be so many potions this will legitimately take up its own thing.

8) The End: Everything about the End, including how to get the credits (but not what they are)

Each thread would of course have people asking questions within it, and a lot of links. What do you all think?

Great job with this! I would suggest putting this all in some sort of pdf, word doc, etc. just to make it more user friendly and so someone could always have it on hand when they are playing the game without having to go online. Other than that, I'm finding a hard time finding anything wrong with it.


Not to totally plug my guide, and the one in this thread is infinitely better than mine, but if you could just please check mine out here, I would be really happy. It is in development, as it is only version 1.0a and only the first chapter is complete, but it is very thorough and I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Very helpful :smile.gif:
make moar tuts, i bet you'll be good at it haha

I'm (almost) completely new to this game and this forum. I got the game (1.0) close to the start of the week and have been playing a few hours a night mainly in creative mode, I had been playing with that for a good 10-12 hours or so to see what I could build. I built a small scale replica of my house, an awful looking skyscraper and a couple of cottages. Then I decided to go on to survival mode and this guide is helping me so much - I wouldn't have a clue what to do if it wasn't for you and a couple of youtube videos!

This guide is brilliant, thank you! :biggrin.gif:

This is great for noobs
