Ultimate Minecraft Beginner’s Guide

Netcast you love from people you trust this is twit video and audio bandwidth provided by cashfly at cachly.com hello and welcome to omgcraft i’m chad johnson in this video we will be teaching you the very basics on controls we’ll be learning how to move place and

Break blocks and even how to make your own items with crafting now if you’re new to first person video games here’s a brief introduction on movement the wasd keys are the ones that you’re going to be using for moving forward backward and side to side you’re going to be using

Your mouse or trackpad on your laptop which why would you want to use the trackpad on your laptop please go find a mouse uh for your vision uh so that you can look around aka the camera as you can see from the pop-up in the top right hand corner of the computer i

It’s recommending me to hit the e button and open my inventory this is what your inventory achievement get i just that’s right your inventory is like your backpack you carry it with you wherever you go looks kind of empty right now let’s go ahead and fill it with stuff

I enabled bonus chests so right next to me there is this bonus chest with torches all around if i go ahead and open that up minecraft has given me a few random things to start off the game with some wood some pickaxes and it looks like a single single stick that’s

That’s really great this should be enough to get me uh to kickstart my adventure first we should go ahead and find some wood and luckily there are trees right around where i spawned if you happen to spawn in a desert this may be a little bit difficult looks like i got another achievement

How you harvest this wood is you go up to one a piece of wood or a log and you click and hold don’t just try to single click a whole bunch of times it won’t get you very far if you punch punch punch punch punch you have to click and hold and you

Can see the little cracks appearing and then plop out comes a block which i can use later now first i’m going to do a little bit of a pro tip i knew that i spawned right here it’s already getting dark and i’m going to mark my spawn location by

Selecting the wood in my inventory and go ahead and placing it down i just knew that i spawned close to here unfortunately it’s getting dark and that’s it’s freaking me out another pro tip is that when these leaves start to decay they’re going to go ahead and drop saplings and it looks

Like i just got an apple that’s that’s pretty good now just to help out the video and because i’m still in tutorial mode i’m going to actually do a little bit of that cheating that i talked about before and set the time to back today so

That i can continue showing you guys uh how to do things in in minecraft so i i did just just cheat there so uh these leaves when they decay they will sometimes drop saplings if they do go ahead and pick those up and then throw them back on the ground because

Trees will grow from those saplings and you will have an endless supply of wood now depending on the random things that you get out of the chest you may have things like swords and stuff and such but uh we’re going to go ahead and show you how to

Make all of the tools that you will need in the game first you’re going to take that wood that you went and harvested from those trees and put it into this little crafting area in your inventory your inventory is actually broken up into three sort of areas technically four

You have the crafting area which is this two by two crafting table you have your inventory over here next to your character you have in this inventory is the armor inventory uh it will only take helmets chest plates pants and shoes then you have a wider inventory down

Below which is more like your backpack and then you have a hot tray this hot tray is where you grab selected items you can see that they match uh this stone pickaxe stone pickaxe stick and apple to the hot tray down below the screen here and i can quickly

Uh select through the multiple items down there by scrolling through this scroll wheel so let’s go ahead and make some something to craft with first i’m going to take these logs i’m going to put it into the crafting area in my inventory and the output of just

Putting a single log in that inventory is wood planks i can go ahead and grab that now let’s go ahead and experiment and let’s say oh i’m going to get real i’m going to get real creative and put another log over here well that actually doesn’t output

Anything that’s because this is a recipe and this recipe actually doesn’t output anything but a single log will actually output some log some planks so let’s go ahead and grab these planks and i’m going to go ahead and show you another recipe and that is uh four planks in a corner

And you can see that that as i’m putting them down it’s actually flipping between other recipes a single plank will give me a button a two planks on top of each other will give me some sticks but that’s not what i want i want a crafting table and that

Is four of these planks in every corner so let’s go ahead and grab that yeah got another achievement i’m just blowing through them now what can we do with this crafting table that we have made well let’s go ahead and place it down on the ground anywhere is fine

Go ahead and open that up and bam where before we had a two by two crafting table in our inventory now we have a three by three crafting table and this will allow us to make much better and useful tools let’s do show off a few more recipes

Let’s go ahead and make some planks and while i’m sorry some sticks while i’m doing this i’m also going to be showing off a little bit of inventory management in these blocks i can put down a single block by grabbing this sort of stack of blocks and right

Clicking and that’ll put down a single block and so that i don’t have to put down all the blocks try to try to figure out how to manage these also when you have a single stack right here and you need to split them you can right

Click a stack as long as you’re not picking it up already and that will pick up half of the blocks that are down and this will just continue to happen so if whoa i just heard a zombie oh gosh okay let’s let’s get let’s keep making a little bit faster i’m going to

Go ahead and make a sword uh so i’m going to put down two planks get some sticks i’m going to put down one stick for the handle of the sword and then two planks on top for the top and that is the sword recipe let’s go ahead and make that

Let’s go ahead and make a few more tools before this zombie attacks me i’m gonna go ahead and make a pick and that is a pick and i’m gonna go ahead and make a shovel i can totally hear that that zombie is freaking me out okay so

Now that we have a few tools we can venture out into the world and these will keep me safe and help me defeat enemies and mine out things okay i’m totally not seeing the zombie it is you are scary zombie i don’t like you at all now planks aren’t the only thing that

You can use to create tools in fact you can use all sorts of different materials that make better tools the cheapest way to upgrade tools is to find some stone and where i put planks in that recipe you can go ahead and put stone and that’ll make stone

Tools then you can do things like iron tools and gold tools and diamond tools diamond tools is for much much later now let’s go ahead and use these wooden tools to find some stone in-game so uh stone normally uh spawns right underneath the ground so let’s go ahead and dig up this dirt

To see if we can find some stone underneath and there we go it is good to point out that the different tools work better on different surfaces this shovel will work much better on dirt than this pickaxe you can see there is a slight time difference between the shovel

And the pickaxe but when we come down here to this stone if i use pickaxe it goes pretty fast but if i use a shovel it goes incredibly slow so tools will work better for various things in game that zombie man that zombie man he’s freaking me

Out so once we have a few stone pieces we can come up to our crafting table again let’s go ahead and make some planks let’s uh right click here to split that and make a whole bunch of sticks right click right click and make a better pick actually we already have a

Good pickaxe we have two stone pickaxes down here from the bonus chest so let’s go ahead and make a sword by right clicking that and now we have a stone sword wherever that zombie is whenever he attacks i will be ready i’m looking for you zombie where are you

You’re a jerk and i will kill you in the next video we will learn how to stay alive and make sure that you don’t starve
