RGA Gaming – How to Make Tools and Armor in Minecraft

Hey guys our Janek here with a quick video on some of the Minecraft basics for those of you who might be playing for the first time I want to show you some of the things that are crucial in order to play the game such as making

Weapons as well as a few other starter items so to begin you don’t have any items in your inventory so what you need to do is start collecting first thing you need to collect is wood we’ve got to find trees just walk up to them and hold

Down the left mouse button and you’ll notice these little cracks start appearing once the cracks get to the edge and fill the block it’ll break and you’ll get whatever block you’re breaking so right now I’m just collecting some wood which will help us with our first weapons so the first

Thing you’re going to need is a crafting bench is in order to make pretty much any item in Minecraft other than torches and other small items you need a crafting bench which is four pieces of wood laid out in your crafting area here so what a lot of people do is

They try to place four pieces of wood here and it doesn’t work because wood is not the same as wooden planks which is what you need to make stuff out of so what you do is you put the wood all your wood in a single spot and you’ll notice

That now it turns into planks so what you do is you start left clicking it or if you hold shift and left-click it’ll put all them in your inventory so now we went from six pieces of wood to 24 planks so now we can take these planks

Put for them together and now we have a crafting table which when you hit your ikki it will bring up your player inventory as well as a small 2×2 crafting area which really isn’t big enough to craft any weapons so what you do is after you make a crafting bench

You place it down on the ground by putting on the inventory bar and right clicking now when you right-click your crafting bench you have a three by three crafting area which is where you can start making your weapons so the first thing you need to do is turn some of

Your wooden planks into sticks and the way you do that is you take one wooden plank and put it right above the other plank and now you have sticks and if you right-click on the stack of anything it’ll cut the pile in half so if I want

To take all these you right-click it put two up there right click very actually now you click whole thing put it up there and then we’d have twelve sticks to make a pickaxe you put two sticks here and then you put three wooden planks across the top and you click over

Here and now you have a wooden pickaxe wooden pickaxes will break rocks such as cobblestone and other materials later on if you try to break grass or sand with a pickaxe it will work but it’s no more efficient than if you use your own hands

So if you want to bind grass or sand faster you need a shovel which is two sticks and a wooden plank so now you have a shovel so see that it mines this a little bit faster than if you were to do it by hand so once it gets dark out

Monsters start spawning and they will attack you so you’re going to need a sword to protect yourself so to make a sword you take one stick and then put two wooden planks above it and now you have a sword that will allow you to fight monsters or grass another item

That you’ll need which will help you is an axe which you take two sticks and then put three wood planks in a pattern like that and now you have a wooden axe which wouldn’t access will cut down wood a lot faster than if you were doing it by hand

Which if we pull our hand out you can see how much longer it takes so now that we’ve got our basic tools actually there is one more tool you’ll need later on which is a hoe which is two sticks and two wooden planks this is used to turn dirt or grass into plowed

Dirt which will let you plant seeds which you get from breaking tall grass and now you can plant this here and this seed will grow into wheat which you can take three wheat put them across your crafting bench like so and you’ll end up with a piece of bread this is actually a

Wooden slab but you know just showing you how to do that so we’re going to do is we’re going to take our crafting bench and we are now going to try to find some cobblestone fiction let’s see if there’s going to like a little cave or something around here water all right

Well what we can do this will dig so if you dig eventually are going to hit cobblestone so we’ll just go here and there’s some cobblestone so now if you’d notice if you tried to break cobblestone with anything other than a pickaxe you see that’s taking a very very long time

And when it finally does break you don’t get any cobblestone from it so in order to actually collect cobblestone you need to use your pickaxe and now you have a piece of cobblestone so it is basically mine around with your pickaxe get as much cobblestone as you need which I’ll

Grab a whole bunch just so I can show you some of the other useful stuff that cobblestone is used for now you’ll notice that around me right now it’s very dark and there’s two modes for every world there’s day and night you can see the sun’s straight above us

Now as starting to go down so within I don’t know maybe five minutes the Sun will be completely down and we’ll be dark when it gets dark out monsters will start coming out and the monsters will attack you and if you’re not prepared you could die so what you

Can do is build yourself a little house and kind of barricade yourself in for the night one problem is at night it gets very dark out so you’re going to need torches well torches to make them you need a stick and a piece of coal unfortunately

I don’t have any coal on me and we didn’t get any well mining here so there is a way to get some if you take your crafting bench and take eight pieces of cobblestone and put it around the complete outside of here you will end up

With a furnace you can take your furnace put it down put a wooden plank on the bottom and a piece of regular wood up top and the wooden planks will burn and they’ll take this regular wood and they’ll turn it into coal so put another

One up there so now you can see we have charcoal which is the exact same thing as coal it’s just coal you mined from the ground and charcoal comes out of burning wood so what we do now is we take our charcoal out of here put in our

Inventory hit E put the charcoal here and put sticks below it and now you can see we have torches so I’ll make a couple of those and I’ll put the torches down on our inventory bar you can see that the Sun is now no longer overhead

And it’s going to be getting dark soon so what we’ll do is we’ll put a torch here a torch here and now it’s nice and bright in our new home so now when night comes you can take some of your dirt and you can fill in above yourself and now you’re safe for

The night and a little bunker what else you can do is if you when you get more wood you can get more sticks and now that we have cobblestone the same way we made the wooden weapons and tools you can use cobblestone now cobblestone tools will work a lot better if you make

Cobblestone axes pickaxes they’ll all be stronger than wood and they’ll last a lot longer too so put the wood ones above it to keep as backups and something very important to keep in mind is I do not believe wooden pickaxes can break coal so if you did find coal

You would need a cobblestone pickaxe to break it or else if you found it and started hitting it with a wood pickaxe it would simply destroy the coal and you wouldn’t get anything from it so that’s one very useful tip they’re just going to make the shovel tubes because I have

The materials for it and now we’re good we have all our tools we can even make po tubes because we’ve got the extra cobblestone there we go so now we’ve got a full inventory of stone weapons as well as a few torches the only problem is right now I don’t

Think we have a way to see when it’s dark out or bright out so what I’m going to do is put a piece of sand on top of a wooden plank and it will turn into glass so up here I’m going to break one of these keeps the dirt out except ii see

The sky butter and i’m going to put the glass there and the dirt there so now you have a nice little skylight see when it gets bright out again right now it’s still becoming nighttime so you can see it’s getting darker up there and now we’re safe in here the monsters might be

Able to see you through the glass but they won’t be able to get to you down here something important to know is that torches do keep monsters from spawning in certain areas so now that this is nice and lit up down here if you were to leave and come back during the night

There would never be monsters down here simply because it’s bright enough to keep them away and the rest of the game now is obviously finding more coal making more torches and using your pickaxes to start going mining which to go mining you simply start breaking away

At walls and lighting up the areas while you go down here eventually you’ll find better items such as iron blocks which we’ll see if we can find some of those real quick let’s keep going down only got a couple torches so I don’t know how far we’ll be able to actually

Go right now but eventually you will find iron which remember how we made the glass by taking the glass putting in an oven you’d take when you might iron it comes out raw you can’t do anything with the iron it’ll be called I think it’s like

Iron or something like that and you take it and you put it on top of the furnace and I’ve been putting wooden planks down here but once you get coal coal lasts a lot longer than wooden planks so you’re gonna want to put coal underneath here for example one piece of wooden plank

Might be able to make one maybe two pieces of glass a piece of coal might be able to make four or five so it’s way more efficient but basically what you do is you put the coal here iron up top it melting the iron bars and you would take

Those iron bars and you’d put them across the top the same way we were if we’re making any other tool so you’d have your sticks he’s obviously the right materials but these would be your sticks and this will be the iron bars and now you’d have an iron pickaxe which

Is very important because eventually if you find redstone or gold or diamonds you need an iron pickaxe in order to break them just the same way if you try to use a wooden pickaxe on coal it would destroy the coal if you use a stone or wooden pickaxe on diamonds or gold or

You know anything else that’s higher like that it would break those as well break the diamond gone forever so speaking of iron this is iron here yes you had that orange color to it that’s okay usually when you find one pieces going to be more around it so there was a

Couple more so there’s exactly three there which I don’t have any coal I don’t think I have any more coal or wood on me but so you can see the iron ore is here if we try to use it it would not work so like I said you put the iron up

Here I needed something down here too it with so once it becomes day out again I’ll go back up and find some more wood melt this down and we’ll have a nice iron pickaxe but that’s the basics of the game you know you keep tunneling downwards eventually you might hit a

Cave system go exploring find different materials and then get better weapons and armor and stuff like that as you go on as well as building a know better house so I guess that concludes the tutorial on how to make some of the basic weapons as well as like the basic
