The Complete Minecraft Beginners Guide for 2022

This video is our complete beginner’s guide to minecraft in 2022 we’re gonna be getting started in minecraft here going in creating basically this world getting this world started and getting you through not only your first night but everything and 2021 was a big deal for minecraft it changed a lot of stuff

That honestly never had been changed in over a decade of minecraft including world generation so now for example there is more world height and there is negative coordinates in minecraft under y0 now for most of you that won’t mean anything but just know caves go really really far

Down to the ground now and mountains can go super high up in the air so because of this it can even be confusing for a new player now the first thing that you want to do when you’re getting started in minecraft is gather wood and you literally just punch trees right you

Just punch trees and you’re gonna punch trees until you cut down three or four here in order to get some wood to get started this is the building blocks of minecraft not only do a lot of structures literally get built out of this but tools everything uses wood in

Some capacity so it’s very very important that you cut down some trees right from the get-go right where you spawn in if you do get a bad spawn by the way don’t be afraid to just create a new world and get a better one and it

Doesn’t matter what kind of wood you get for example this is an oakwood tree this is a dark oak wood tree it doesn’t matter they both can work for us exactly the same and there’s other types of wood as well birch all that stuff all right

So we now have 15 pieces of wood as you can see here we have five oak and 10 dark oak now we want to do is open up our inventory and then we want to go ahead and place these up here in the top right crafting area and then we’re going

To allow us to create planks right from these so these are dark oak planks and then you can do the same thing for oak right you can get oak planks right like so this is what is going to allow us to do things like craft sticks as well as

Craft a crafting table now a crafting table is what’s going to allow you to get a bigger crafting menu and start crafting things like tools right so it is a very very important to do that now what i would recommend before you even place this down is to go up see if you

Can punch a pig or a cow or a sheep or anything like that because what we want is some food right getting started in minecraft you’re going to need some food and the best way to do that is to get a you know kill pick or something like

That we’re going to want to cook this up but just get it right away by punching a pig i know some people say might get a sword or something no punch a pig punch a cow bunch of sheep whatever it takes to bunch a chicken to get some meat like

This because you need it to survive one thing i’ll also say is start to find like an open area where you might want to build a house and honestly this is looking good for me as well you don’t have to use an open area but i would recommend it when you’re first getting

Started nevertheless though we can go ahead and throw down our crafting table right like so and what we’re going to do is actually make a pickaxe to do that we’re going to need to make some sticks here or rat like so and then we’re gonna go ahead and make that pattern with wood

Planks on top now you also have this crafting book here and this is great for seeing what you can craft for example if we wanted to craft a sword we can just click on it and it’s gonna immediately move stuff in here you can even search

Stuff as well for example if you wanted to see how to craft an axe for example there you go that’s an axe that you can craft right away so anything you can craft you can get it right there and then some stuff that you can’t it will

Show you what you need if you click on it in kind of this like sort of menu over here but we’re gonna close out of that right now because i know most of these by heart but that’s a great way to easily access resources nevertheless this looks like a good place for our

Home so i’m gonna go ahead and kind of get things going what we need to do first though is find some stone and start getting some like good tools so to do that we’re gonna go ahead and mine down here now sand is going to fall on

Us so let me just go ahead and mine this i’ll show you what i mean see that sand is going to fall but we’re just going to mine down until we get to stone under everything there is stone so we’re just going to have to mine for a second and

Then we’ll get to it and as you can see we’ve already discovered stone here the reason i’m doing this is because honestly you shouldn’t have a wooden pickaxe for that long in minecraft so because of that i would recommend getting some stone and getting rid of

This wooden pickaxe so boom there we go we’ve now got our stone five stone here and we’re just gonna get rid of this wooden pickaxe some people might say to use it and honestly you can but stone tools are so much better now i did get five pieces of cobblestone here the

Reason for that is we’re gonna do two things the first thing we’re gonna do is make that pickaxe we were talking about right there it is right boom now the second thing we’re to do is craft and more sticks right like so and make a sword this is what’s going to kind of

Protect us here at first just in case we do encounter some mobs or anything like that now for the rest of your first day i would actually recommend just going around and getting wood if you want to you can go ahead and get some more stone

And craft a axe that’s going to make things a lot faster for that we’re going to need three more pieces of cobblestone and when we come up here we’ll be able to craft an axe really fast because that’s going to make things like i said

A ton easier when it does come time to cut down more trees and i would kind of do that until the end of the first day however we do need to make sure we kind of know where this is at because this is going to be our home base for our first

Tonight once night time does occur so i’m going to go through i’m going to keep cutting down some trees and i’m going to meet you all once the first tonight has started and i’ll show you what to do once night time has arisen for the first time in minecraft and by

The way if you want to know what time it is watch the sun the sun does move and when it goes under the horizon obviously becomes night time you can do the same thing for the moon the moon moves across the sky and when it goes under the

Horizon then it’ll be daytime so there we go i have now went through an entire stone axe and as you can see the sun is starting to set over the horizon and the moon will start rising over here so at this point it’s time for us to just kind

Of get underground now i would recommend if you don’t have already just get enough stone here to be able to kind of patch up where we came from which is going to be kind of like right here right just kind of patch that up a bit

And uh it can be cool to like leave sort of like a little thing like that where you can see boom there we go like a little block like that so you can see um that way if it’s daytime you’ll be able to tell that it’s daytime and then if

It’s nighttime you’ll be able to tell it’s night time so on and so forth right however now that we’re underground we need to do a few things the first thing is we need to mine enough stone to be able to make a furnace so that is going

To be right like so so we don’t have a crafting table i’m just going to make another one i should have brought that one down here that was my mistake but we do need a crafting table then once we’ve got that we want to take our stone here

Which is going to be eight stone needed and we’re gonna make a furnace right like so just in a outline then in that furnace we’re actually going to make what’s called charcoal now this is a way to get coal in minecraft without having to mine it so to do that we’re gonna go

Ahead and take any of our logs that we have and we’re gonna put them on the bottom of the furnace then we’re gonna take some and put them on the top of the furnace as well i split them evenly but you don’t have to we need probably about

Eight or ten charcoal here which is going to be eight or ten of these blocks here to be able to get this going so as you can see we now have charcoal what’s cool about that is we can use this to make torches now like i said we’re gonna need

A few of these four torches is decent and you can go ahead and place those down in this little area now for the rest of the night here we’re just going to mine now sure you can mine down if you want and i would recommend doing

That for a while but do keep in mind that it’s not like it used to be or distribution is a lot different in minecraft these days for example diamonds now spawn between y 15 and y negative 63 and the lower the better so why negative 60 or something like that

It’s probably a decent place and if we hit f3 we’ll be able to see we are currently at uh y59 so we have quite a ways to go before we can even start getting diamonds right now i would recommend getting iron and coal those are going to be the two things that

You’re going to be using the most early game and then you can go find diamonds later and if you do want an in-depth guide on how to find diamonds in minecraft there are plenty of videos on youtube and you can search for those um we don’t have one currently but we might

Make one in the future let us know if you’d like to see that in the comments now unless we do want to go ahead and make a few more sticks and we’re going to take these and turn them into torches 31 torches should be enough to kind of

Get me going i’d recommend placing them every you know five or so blocks it down your staircase here and by the way the reason we’re doing this is so we’re not mining straight down you don’t want to mine straight down in minecraft because you will hit uh well lava and it’s not

Cool so nevertheless i’m gonna go ahead mine down to probably i would say y level let’s say 15 and then from there we’ll go ahead and start doing some mining so why level 15 which is actually good because that’s the first place that you could find diamonds

And then we’ll do some mining at that level looking for iron looking for other things now that’s no means the most efficient place to find those ores and that’s why i did a dedicated video on finding wars is what’s best but it is a good place to get started and kind of

Find a variety of different ores so i had to run back up and make a new pick and i’m getting a bit hungry right as you can see my chicken nuggets down here are dropping so what we want to do is go ahead and use some of this charcoal that

We created and we’re going to cook this meat so we can take it and put it in here right like so and it’s not going to cook it that’s going to make it a lot more nutritious than eating raw pork chops will so we want to make sure that

We’re eating cooked pork chops in every chance that we can and as you can see we’ve also found some coal while mining and copper copper isn’t used as much in minecraft as they want it’s planning to be used in future updates but the time right now that i’m recording this

There’s nothing really with copper that is worth getting but i’m grabbing it anyway because it’s so early on but as you can see we now have our pork chops and if we go ahead and eat them let’s you can see how much health that gave us look at that it’s absolutely incredible

Not health but how much food that increased and we will go ahead and finish it off because why not as far as the time of day goes we can come up here and we’re actually coming to uh today time as you can see so the sun is rising

Look at that so now i would suggest actually building a house so it is your first day and i would suggest building a very basic house and that’s what we’re going to do now i do wish i had found some iron in that in that mining because

That would make this a hair bit faster but that is okay we’re going to go ahead and craft a shovel came up too early ah look at that so mobs will attack you until they die that’s why we made that sword we are perfectly fine we’re safe

And we’re good to go so the first thing i’m going to do is go ahead and just level this out really really fast do a quick jump cut there there we go that is now cleared out and this looks like a perfect place for us to build a house

I’m gonna go ahead and break our crafting table here move it down and uh get going so i would recommend it for a quick starter house to basically do kind of a five or six by six square right so let’s go ahead and create planks out of

All this and you do want to use planks when you’re starting off again you can build more complicated stuff in the future but for right now i would recommend something about one two three four five and six and then we’re gonna do a one two three four

Five and six and then we’re going to do that again and connect it all up now this is a very small starter house and you can expand and build onto it and do two stories and build a basement and all that stuff but again we are just getting

Started here so now we can go ahead and build out this middle area here that’s where our basically door is going to go and now we can just kind of build up now obviously you will want to put windows in this you will want to do all that

Stuff but now we’re just trying to make it to where after the second day we don’t have to wait through the night anymore if we don’t want to our goal is to get a little house up and to get a bed which will allow us to sleep through

The night and not have to mine our life away so that’s what we’re doing right here and that’s why we’re building this go ahead finish building this around and i will show you kind of the simple roof that you can put on it um if you don’t want

To get stairs or anything like that so i went ahead and went up to i think this is five blocks up let’s see one two three four four blocks up three is probably going to be a must like you should at least do three but you can do

More if you would like from there i would recommend just doing a kind of a hut style house here or roof where it just kind of peaks out into uh the top so go ahead and build like some scaffolding up there and yeah just kind of build this around right like so now

You are gonna have an extra block on each row that we will have to mine but i think we can do that no problem there we go then we get rid of our little extra blocks and this is our first house again it looks bad but that’s okay after this

Night you’ll be able to build in the daytime all that you want we just want to get a simple house up as quickly as possible and we’re about halfway through the day so we gotta hurry step two of day two is going to be pretty simple

We’re going to find some sheep and kill them we need three pieces of wool again it sucks we do have to kill them but it is what it is we have got to survive and sometimes that means killing some sheep so nevertheless i’m just gonna look

Around that’s all you can do by the way is look around sheep are gonna be more common in grass biomes than they are gonna be in a desert biome so that does make it a little more difficult for us here than it might be in your world but

Just look around find some sheep and i will meet you after the jump cut to uh to murder them sadly i’m also going to kill this um kill this pig here because we want to make sure that we have enough food as you can see we are we’re already

Out of this but luckily we got three more pork chops so we’re good so as i’ve been exploring looking for the sheep here i did find this and these are new to minecraft in 2022 just coming out right before 2022 and it’s basically the massive cave systems that now exist this

Is a great way to find coal to find iron things like that so if you can explore and find these cave systems or while you’re digging and mining underground find a cave system always explore that cave system i was hoping i could find one earlier when i was mining but i

Wasn’t able to find one so yeah i’m gonna keep that in mind for later but right now we’re still looking for these sheep that is priority number one hey we found some cows no we’re looking for that but i can keep jumping back in here to uh talk about things that aren’t

Sheep if you do find pumpkins melons anything that’s a bit more unique a village for example it is good to raid those things while you’re out exploring even if you’re on your sheep mission still right so even if you’ve not found sheep it’s still good to rate those things

Because they can come in handy later for example those pumpkins we can plant those and use them later on melons things like that can be used as well in villages if you find villages with food in the ground that’s going to be wheat that’s going to be you know carrots

Things like that those are must have day three by the way that’s where we’re going to set up our farming so that is why it’s also important to get those for example if you wanted to go ahead and start punching grass you could these will eventually start spawning out some

Seeds and when they do you can pick those seeds up and that’s going to become our first farm right it’s for some reason it’s taking a while a little longer than it normally does come on can you give me a seat it’s all well i need

I need a seed for the video we found sheep look at that i couldn’t plan that any better and there’s a seed as well now let’s go ahead and unfortunately kill three of these sheep because we do need three wool now luckily we did find

A group of looks like five sheep here so that is more than plenty for us but there we go we now have enough now i do know back this way i believe is where we are our home base is i believe that mushroom is right next to our house but you gotta

See how far we had to travel to find those absolutely insane go ahead quick jump cut we’ll be back in our house build the bed and then we’ll be able to survive the second night so here we are back at the house and we can use our

Trusty crafting table here to take three pieces of wood put them on the bottom row and three pieces of wool and put them on the top and make ourselves a bed now we don’t have to worry about surviving we can also place some torches down in here and i would recommend

Placing a few torches if you have the cold spare around your house as well this is gonna be great for you know protecting against mobs and making sure they don’t spawn right outside your house which can prevent you from going to sleep i mean think about it there was

Mobs outside your house i wouldn’t want to go to sleep either so yeah keep that in mind nonetheless here we go we have now placed these torches down and that’s going to be enough i would recommend going out even farther than this but to get started you don’t need to while

We’re waiting on that sun to go down because we still have a decent amount of daylight left let’s go ahead and start getting a farming going to do that you want to go ahead and punch this grass like i was talking about and get these seeds we’re finding having a better kind

Of setup here i would recommend getting anywhere between five to ten seeds to get started with your first farm and those will quickly multiply as when you harvest stuff it gives off more seeds for you to then be able to replant now obviously you can really speed this up

If you do find a village even using their existing farming infrastructure if you want but for right now this will be enough six should be good once you’ve got that we need two things we need water and we need dirt as well as a hoe

A hoe is what’s going to be able to till the ground to plant the you know seeds down so what we’re going to do is go ahead and make ourselves a hoe real quick right like so basically a pickaxe with one block missing at the top and now we

Can go ahead and till some ground now we don’t have any dirt touching water right through here and i kind of want the farm in this area so i’m actually going to go ahead and steal a few pieces of dirt from over here and move them that way we

Can actually get a farm where we want it to be so there we go a few pieces of dirt stolen let’s go ahead and get these placed down over here so we can actually get our farm going now four blocks out from water will actually be able to grow

Things so as you can see block one block two and then we could even do block three and then this block right here will be able to grow things now i’m not gonna do that on all of these simply because i don’t think that’s worth it i

Think what i’m going to do is kind of go up to this barrier here and you can even use a one block because you can jump on crops and accidentally trample them but there we go we have now got this all placed now we can take our

Hoe and till the ground and once we’ve done that we’ll see that these start to saturate with water right so if we just wait for a second you’ll see that these are going to start turning darker brown saturating with water while you’re waiting on that you can go ahead and

There you go plant some of your seeds these will take a while to grow but as time goes on it will be your most reliable source of food and is a must have in minecraft we can also go ahead and make a door for our house real fast

That’s probably a good idea to keep some of those zombies out so there we go we’ve got ourselves a door i’m also going to go down into our mine which just so happens to be right around the corner i do like to keep mine like right

Near the house for that reason and we’re gonna move our furnace up top because now that we’ve got a house we can move that in here and get things kind of in one centralized area it’s also probably about time that we make our first chest something i would honestly recommend

Doing probably a little earlier in some cases but as soon as you’ve got a house you’ve got a place to store your stuff you can go ahead and make your first chest to do that you want to take some wood as i said building block when i

First started is wood and that’s going to be used for our first chest as well go ahead and make two of these because chest stack right so we go ahead and do bam and then bam right next to each other and now we have a large chest and

You can start storing stuff in here the way you have to carry everything with you all the time i’m also gonna go ahead and take our call here and get our meat cooking up here so we can make sure that we refill that health bar starting to get nighttime here and

That means it is time to go to sleep and this is what’s so amazing about beds once it gets dark outside you just go to your bed click on it and the night is going to pass and that’s why i wanted to make sure in this video it was covered

At this point though you’ve kind of got the basics right you’ve got your chest you’ve got this going you know how to mine and we are kind of good to go right you’ve got food you’ve got food cooking you know how to get more food by killing

Animals until your farm over here gets really up and running and by the way once these grow you can break them replant them all that stuff keep going and going going so you have a massive farm going on and yeah that’s kind of the basics of minecraft at this point

The world is really yours now mining is a huge part that we haven’t really talked about and i should probably talk about it real quick so i’m gonna go ahead just immediately cut down to the bottom of this mine on y12 and show you kind of a basic mining setup that used

To work better than it does now and that’s why i do recommend checking out more dedicated videos on this but it is still something to look at and keep in mind for 2022. so mining down here we have found a cave to make sure you’re smart about entering into your cave and

I would also recommend putting some like torches or something that’s going to mark where you’ve been and where your cave exit is there’s also some coal up there that you could get now when you’re down here you can finally start getting iron iron is going to be the building

Block that allows you to get things going i would recommend by the way just exploring case that’s what the best way to mine in minecraft 2022 is with this new cave update that came out at the end of last year you can find so much stuff

In caves you can see look at all this iron that we’re finding strip mining used to be a lot better and it still is for diamonds and that’s what i was going to show you on y12 was a strip mine setup but caving is a great way to find

Iron to find coal to find gold even diamonds can now be found in caves in a lot of ways easier than they used to be so keep that in mind and if you do find a cave make sure you explore it thoroughly because now we have enough

Iron to make some iron tools and really get things going but again jump cut to y level 12 because now i finally went over caving and i will see you to show you a strip mining setup so here we are on y level 12 and i’m gonna show you a strip

Mining setup that again used to work better than it does now but it can still be effective for finding iron and things like that by the way you find iron it doesn’t matter even if you’re doing a tutorial you go ahead and you mine it nevertheless once you’ve got your y

Level 12 set up or wherever you want to do this this will work on any y level whether it’s y level 12 or y level negative 12 y level negative 30. this is going to work so let’s go ahead and mine out a little bit like this and by the

Way i would recommend you exploring lower than why negative 12. you will find so many cool caves and things like that by the way there’s going to be a cave right there as you can see because then we found that lush cave there and that’s only going to be available in a

Cave system so this is it this is a mining right here strip mining is what it’s called and just kind of mine in one direction it can be good for finding cave systems so basically mine in one direction find a cave system explore that cave system and then continue on so

On and so forth until you’ve mined them all for example we could explore this one if we wanted to now once you’ve done like one kind of level you’re done with that one you can move on to the next one over now you don’t want to put this

Right next to it obviously you don’t even want to put it right next to this one you want to leave two blocks in between each mine shaft because if you don’t you’ve already seen it right if you mine here you’ve already seen this block so you want to kind of separate it

Like so until you’ve kind of spread things out and you’re only seeing blocks one time so that is a basic strip mining lesson and honestly cave exploration is great for everything but diamonds and diamonds need to be done on about y negative 60. if you want to pull up this mini by the

Way on java just hit f3 y is the middle variable nevertheless that is how you can start caving let’s go ahead get some iron tools and then i’m going to show you very quickly minecraft multiplayer so back up top we have our raw iron in the furnace making iron ingots iron

Ingots can then be turned into tools you can also craft armor out of them all of that awesome stuff armor by the way is a great great great thing that you should get pretty early on once you have iron uh for example chest plates and things like that unfortunately it doesn’t show

Up here um let’s see i want to show all and then we can go ahead and type in chest plate what what’s it’s not doing i’ve never used the graphic book i just know these recipes in my head so it does confuse me a little bit i do apologize

For that but i know we’ll be able to make something like boots out of this iron once we have it so if we go in here this might be the issue yeah there we go so now we can see all the different stuff we have iron helmet iron chest

Plate iron leggings and then iron boots as well these are all going to be armor that you should get to protect you from mobs and falls and all sorts of stuff that is something you need to get once you get iron but the first thing you

Probably want to get once you get iron is going to be a pickaxe you want to get an iron pickaxe i get it everybody does and that’s what we’re going to do here as well make an iron pickaxe right like so boom there we go we now have an iron

Pick i’m just gonna mine so much faster allow you to mine diamonds and you do need an iron pickaxe to my diamonds redstone things like that nevertheless that’s the basics of minecraft and that’s how to get started surviving your first night your second night and get to where you’re mining finding diamonds you

Can then go out you can explore more above ground you can sport caves you can make your house look a lot better you can make some glass out of the sand by putting it in the furnace and put that around your house to make it actually open in here and less of a

Box all that stuff can be done but now you know how to survive and that is of course the most important part however i do want to mention minecraft multiplayer it’s a whole entire section we’ve been everything we’ve done right now is in single player here what about multiplayer multiplayer is an absolutely

Amazing thing and we do have our server play.breakdowncraft.com if you want to join a server alike ours we’ll do is click on add server you can name it whatever you want played our breakdowncraft.com for example but the most important part is the server address a lot of times though you’ll see

This referred to as the server ip and this is where the ip address is going to go platobreakdowncraft.com is ours and if you’re looking for a survival or skyblock experience i recommend at least checking it out it’s pretty freaking awesome unless when you click on that

It’s going to join you right on in here this is our medieval wild world but we can also go to our main medieval world if we want so nevertheless that is how you can join a multiplayer server so you’re going to join high pixel on all the ones out

There but again i’d recommend i’d recommend giving breakdown craft a shot but i may be a bit biased nevertheless though thank you so so much for watching if you did enjoy this video give it a thumbs up and be sure to check out the studio sponsor apex minecraft hosting
