Minecraft Beginners Guide – Part 1 – Tools, Weapons, Food and Surviving

What’s up everybody my name is Capp00 and welcome  back to the channel and of all the years of doing   YouTube and all the Minecraft videos I’ve made  and all the tutorials I’ve gone through one of the   things I’ve never done was a Beginner’s Guide on  how to start playing Minecraft because even after  

All these updates and different versions to come  out there’s still no good tutorial or guide to   teach you how to play this you just kind of drop  in and kind of have to figure out which is part of  

The fun of course but when you’re brand new it’s  very daunting so I thought I would do this series   to kind of help out with some new people because  there’s tons of new people joining all of the time  

So there’s like a hundred million people playing  across portable console and PC so I’m hoping   this video will help you guys out and getting  started for anybody who’s new to Minecraft now   I’m doing this video on PC in version 1.10 so if  you’re using on a console version or the portable  

Edition it may look a bit different but the basic  concept is the same okay let’s get started here   this right here is your life bar when it runs out  you die this right here is your food bar it slowly  

Goes down over time on its own but it goes down  a lot faster when you’re sprinting mining digging   building fighting things it slowly depletes now  when your food bar is completely full your life   bar will slowly regenerate on its own so you want  to make sure to keep your food intake going to  

Keep your food bar all the way full and you’ll  see when it starts going down on its own the bar   right below that is your experience bar and as you  destroy things and build things craft things ever   you’re playing the game basically you’ll see it  slowly start filling up with green and eventually  

You’ll see green numbers right there in the middle  of it to tell your current number what your level   is and that is basically going to be used for  enchanting which is a little ways off for people  

Who are new so don’t worry about necessarily the  bar at the bottom this is your active toolbar   this is where you’re going to be putting tools  and weapons and items and things that you’re   currently using but this is where you’ll be able  to access your current list of items and you can  

Either press 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 to scroll all the  way through or you can use the scroll wheel to   go through them now if you open up your inventory  you’ll see all of this storage space up in here to  

Your inventory some people refer to it as your  backpack you got your basic crafting window up   here little tuba to spot that you will use to  build some minor things and then when you get  

To the point where you can find or build armor  this is where you’ll equip it you got your head   plates leg plates and feet armor and of course  you can equip a shield and then this is what  

Your character looks like here one of the most  important resources you’re going to use the most   in the entire game is wood especially when you’re  starting off here and you get wood from trees so  

When your very first starting off you’re going to  be doing a lot of this punching some trees and do   some minor level deforestation here but as you  can see every time you break apart a block you  

Get one block of wood here so you’ll want to get  as much as you possibly can for the very beginning   and then you’ll be going through and getting lots  and lots of wood later as you’re building more and  

More tools if you start building your own place to  live and things of that nature so we’ll start off   with just a couple of them here and that should  do it a quick pro tip here when you’re chopping  

Down trees go ahead and try and take out all of  the existing wood that’s in there try and chop up   as high as you can until there’s no more because  then all of the foliage will slowly start to fade  

Away on its own instead of just sitting there and  it’ll slowly start dropping some spruce saplings   that you can replant – you know replenish nature  and all that happy fun stuff so you have your  

Wood now that you got here when you pick up widows  come be these basic wood blocks now when they’re   in this form the only thing you can really do with  them is stack them if you’re going to use them for  

Building or use them for source of fuel later on  in your stove but what you want to do is convert   these into things you can craft with so you take  the entire stack by left-clicking which real quick  

If you’re if you pick up a stack of things with  left click you’ll carry the whole thing you can   press right click and it’ll slowly put one down  at a time or if you right-click an entire stack  

You’ll take half of it so that’s just a quick tip  on how to maneuver things so in a way you don’t   take your wood blocks and put them up here in your  crafting table and put them anywhere you want to  

Doesn’t necessarily matter and each one you have  here is going to give you four wood planks so   you can click one at a time and slowly move them  down there or you can hold shift and click it and  

It’ll turn the entire stack into what you have  here it’s a quick way to do that okay the first   thing you’re going to need to do to be able to  do any kind of advanced level crafting is to make  

A crafting table so pick up your stack you’re  going to need four wood planks you go and put   them in a square like you have here and now you  have your crafting table put it down your active  

Tool bar and then just find any place you want  to put it which you’ll see it kind of highlights   the ground as you’re moving around looking and  that’s the active place that’s going to put it  

And you just right to place it alright now on to  some basic level crafting so your right-click to   access the crafting table and you’ll see this  one is a 3 by 3 versus the 2 by 2 when it was  

Your personal inventory so you have a lot of wood  planks and you’re going to use this for doing a   lot of the basic level crafting but something  you’re also going to need is sticks and you get  

That from wood planks so you place one above one  below anywhere on the table it doesn’t necessarily   matter where that’s at and you get four sticks  for each instead of blocks you put up at the top  

Here so you want to make a couple you know when  you waste your entire stack there so the 16 is   good to start with and I’ll walk you through how  to make the basic tools here so for beginners to  

What you need to do is to make a pickaxe the most  popular item in the game one you’ll use probably   more than anything so you place two sticks down  here in the middle now these do matter in the  

Order which you play something two sticks down  here in the middle and three wood planks up at   the top and you have a wooden pickaxe also you can  place one at the bottom and then two wooden planks  

Up above it it’ll give you a sword and this will  be used for doing main attacks defend yourself off   a little bit some other tools that you can make  at the very beginning that you don’t absolutely  

Have to is you can make a shovel by placing just  two wood sticks down here in the middle and one   plank at the top and get a shovel if you place one  more to the side you’ll get a hoe which you’ll use  

Later on for farming and you place one more below  that in this format and you can get a wooden axe   and you use this for chopping down trees but for  now I’ll go ahead and take that but for now don’t  

Make too many wooden tools because wood is very  weak in the game and it will break down a whole   lot faster what you need to get is to where  you can make some stone tools and then after  

You upgrade stone a little bit more you’ll get  iron tools and then from iron tools you can go   all the way up to diamond tools so what you need  to start off with is take your wooden pickaxe and  

Find some cobblestone it looks like this kind  of sitting around the world here you have this   grainy stuff which is diorite I believe and then  you have cobblestone and you’ll have different   things gravel mixed in the mix there and these  are all different kinds of stones that you can  

Pick up but what you need is cobblestone so you  just hold down the left mouse button and you’ll   pick up blocks just like you would any other  thing and just go ahead and collect a good   Chum of cobblestone another important resource  you’re going to need very early on is coal and  

You’re going to get it from blocks that look like  these you’ll use your pickaxe whichever one you   currently have or whatever and just go to town on  each individual block and for each one of them is  

Going to give you one piece of cold you’re going  to need as many of you can because you’ll use   these to make torches torches are what light up  your world of course especially at nighttime it  

Helps keeps mobs the bad guys from spawning it  around you and you’ll also use coal for a fuel   source when you’re doing a lot of your cooking  another pro tip don’t lose track of where you put  

Your crafting table you can actually use an axe  and chop it back down to pick it back up so that   you can carry with you and then set it back down  a later spot so you don’t lose and have to recraft  

It again but okay now we’ve got a whole bunch of  cobblestone we picked up some anti and anti sight   and diorite either once you need R at the moment  those are going to be for like decorative blocks  

Later on but now that you have some cobblestone  so you can make some more robust tools I would   definitely recommend keeping stone pickaxes with  you and you’re going to want a stone sword with  

You both of these will last a whole lot longer  than wood and these will allow you to be able to   get some of the other items later on because when  you do find things like iron ore and gold ore and  

Things of that nature you have to have at least a  stone axe to get those okay the next thing you’re   going to want to be able to make is some torches  torches are easy you can use the crafting table or  

You can use your personal crafting so if you’re  out and about to have your crafting table one   stick and one piece of coal will give you four  torches like I said torches light up the night  

It helps keep mobs from spawning in the next thing  you’re going to want to make when you find a place   where you can settle down for the night and kind  of just chill for a little bit it’s going to be  

A furnace and that is so that you can make food  edible by cooking it here so all you need is a   piece of cobblestone you just place them in the  shape of a picture frame – one in the middle and  

You will get yourself a furnace furnace works  just like this as far as placing it down just   right-click it where if you want to and when you  open it up you’re going to see these boxes down  

Here this box right here is the fuel source so you  can put things like wood down here or you can put   coal down here and it will actually turn on when  you have something to cook as I’ve seen earlier  

Your food bar slows it goes down as you can see  mine is right now I’m down three almost three and   a half food blocks so I’m going to come up and  take out a cow just beating it with the sword  

You’ll see it gave me three pieces of raw beef  now if you eat this now it’s not going to give   you much health and can actually make you sick so  what you want to do is come over to your furnace  

Drop a piece of coal in there and put your raw  beef in there you’re going to need probably a   couple of pieces of coal one cold doesn’t last for  very long but you’ll see this bar slowly fill up  

As each one’s cooked and it does take a little  while to actually cook things but we have it now   you have a piece of steak and to eat all you have  to do is just activate that one by highlighting it  

In your tool bar there and right click and hold  it down and he will eat it now my food bar is   completely full as you see my experience bar has  gone up as well so get these to hang on to them  

For later and take out my piece of coal again and  that is how you do basic cooking same thing works   with chicken and fish if you look up at the sky  you’ll see the Sun is slowly moving down as it  

Goes on here during the daytime you’re mostly  pretty safe against mobs or bad guys or enemies   or whatever you call them those peoples call them  mobs right now there’s no none of them around here   for me to show you fortunately so I’m pretty  safe but the different kinds of mobs you have  

Are skeletons zombies creepers and spiders those  are the main ones you’re going to see all the time   in the open world here now zombies and skeletons  do not like the sunlight so if the Sun is up and  

They’re out they’re going to be hiding underneath  trees they’re going to be hiding in caves because   if the Sun catches them catches even a glimpse  of them a little bit of them it’ll set them on   fire and they will burn to death now creepers  and spiders are not affected by the Sun they  

Will roam around day or night and they will just  go ahead and act like the sun’s not even there   now spiders can climb that is one thing to keep  in mind about spiders so if you build yourself  

A small house and you don’t put a roof on it and  there’s a spider outside they can’t climb up over   the top and beat you and of course if you know  anything about creepers when they get too close  

Their fuse ignites they get a little bit excited  and they explode so I think that’s about it for   this very beginners level entry guide to Minecraft  and hopefully it was very useful to anybody who’s  

New to the game we’re just starting off and just  once a couple of the tips I will do a part two if   enough people have any of the things they want me  to kind of show you how to do in the game this is  

Very elementary for anybody who’s been playing it  but I have said out of the thousands of new people   that are always playing the game and joining  in then this could be beneficial to them and   get them a little bit more acclimated on how to  survive so in the meantime hope this was useful
