Welcome to Minecraft Survival Guide, this book is divided into different chapters each containing different information!
Chapter 1 "Getting Started"
Everything always starts with wood so begin by finding atleast one tree and cut it down with your hands by holding LMB.
Afterwards open your invetory with the E key and in the upper right corner there is a 4x4 crafting grid as seen belown.
Put the logs you just cutted down in the grid and you will end up with 4 wooden planks, you should be holding one of the 6 plank types as seen below

Put the logs you just cutted down in the grid and you will end up with 4 wooden planks, you should be holding one of the 6 plank types as seen below
Using these you can make a Crafting Table by putting 4 wooden planks in the crafting grid.
The Crafting Table is your best friend, it allows you to craft most things in the game, when you press RMB on it you will get a interface with a 3x3 crafting grid.
You are now ready for some real crafting, starting of with a pickaxe is a good idea!
Begin by taking 2 planks putting them in a line straight up and you will get 4 sticks
Next you put 2 sticks in the mittle of the 2 bottom rows then fill the top row with wooden planks just like the image below.
As you can see, there are other types of pickaxes such as golden pickaxe or stone pickaxe, we will talk more about these in another chapter. Using the pickaxe we can now get started mining.
Chapter 2 "Time to mine"
In this chapter we will talk about mining, first thing to do is find a cave, just walk around and you should find one. There are a lot of caves in the world.
When you have found a cave you should be able to acquire some cobblestone with your wooden pickaxe using this cobblestone I recommend you make a stone pickaxe using the same recipe as before, most players then just throws away the wooden pickaxe because its very slow and can't mine better ores like iron ore.
Before you go further into the cave you should acquire some torches either by looking for some coal ores or smelting logs in a furnace, choose what way you which to acquire coal below.

Before you go further into the cave you should acquire some torches either by looking for some coal ores or smelting logs in a furnace, choose what way you which to acquire coal below.
Way 1. Coal ore
Alright to make torches you will need coal and you can carefully look through the top of the mine (trying not to go into the dark due to mobs) then you just find a block looking like the block below and mine it.
You should now have a few coals that you then together with a stick can craft into 4 torches like below.
The torches will help you light up the cave as you mine and also keep mobs from spawning.

Way 2. Smelt logs
Alright to make torches you will need coal and you can make charcoal by smelting logs in a furnace so start off by collecting some logs, make sure not to turn them into wooden planks
Next you will have to make a furnace by mining 8 cobblestone and putting them in the crafting table like this.
The furnace has another interface which looks like this.
As you can see, there are 3 slots the upper one is the thing you're going to smelt and the lower is the fuel that will be used to smelt, now just smelt the logs and you will get charcoal, like this.
After you've collected your charcoal its time to craft the torch, you will need charcoal and sticks then just put it all together like below.
The torches will help you light up the cave as you mine and also keep mobs from spawning.

Now that we have torches we may continue the mining, here is the ores you can mine using stone pickaxe.
Try to find the first one iron ore and the second one coal ore together you may smelt them into iron ingots that we will be using later but now we should be starting building a shelter.
Chapter 3 "Sheltering"
In this chapter we will be talking about sheltering, mostly from the night and the mobs, but also for storage.
But before you start building you should always find sheeps and kill them to get 3 wool.
With the wool you just need 3 planks and you can make a bed, this bed will be used to skip the night for now because we're not ready to fight just yet.
To sleep you just have to place out the bed with RMB then press RMB again on it, make sure its night and there are no mobs around. Lets begin building, first we might need some more logs and an easier way to get some is by making an axe I hope you have some cobblestone left from earlier, else go get some and also some sticks, then make a axe like below.
Now you're ready for some real tree cutting try to get a lot of logs and aftewards its time to find the perfect spot to build.
The perfect spot should be somewhere close to a forest and some type of water source (optionally) try not to build to in a desert for example, here's the spot I've choosen.
Starting off you might want to make a smaller shelter like a box of wooden planks I would say something like this.
Seems good for a start, now we probably need a door and some way to store our items, first of we can make a door by putting 6 wooden planks in a crafting table just like below.
(you can use any other planks too)
Now we just need storage and this can be acquired using chests crafted with 8 wooden planks in crafting table just like below.
Lets put it all in our house, and it should turn out something like this.
We've got our shelter all ready now! Time to upgrade right? Well we have to get back mining then.
Chapter 4 "Food"
There is one thing we must do before we can get back mining, we have to go get some food.
As you have notice you might be pretty hungry by now and we're going to talk about all the types of food available starting with meat.
Meat
There are raw rabbit, raw chicken, raw mutton, raw beef and raw porkchop
These meats are all acquired through killing animals, here is some images of the animals.
The rabbit drops raw rabbit which gives 2 hunger points when eaten raw.
The chicken drops raw chicken which gives 2 hunger points when eaten raw (warning it has a 30% chance of give poison effect).
The sheep drops raw mutton which gives 2 hunger points when eaten raw.
The cow and the mushroom drops raw beef which gives 3 hunger points when eaten raw.
The pig drops raw porkchop which gives 3 hunger points when eaten raw.
All meat can be cooked in a furnace giving more hunger points.
Fishing
There are raw fish, raw salmon, clownfish and pufferfish.
These fish are all acquired through fishing, to start off we need a fishing rod which is crafted using 3 sticks and 2 strings.
to get the strings you can either kill spiders/cave spiders, breaking cobwebs with a sword/shear or finding natural generated once like in a jungle temple (more about that later)
The spider and the cave spider.
The cobweb.
Let's talk about the fishing process, start of by finding a water source and I would personally suggest a bigger water source like a lake, here is the one I have choosen.
As you can see I just threw the line out by pressing RMB then we just have to wait, there are 2 signs of fish first one is that the floater just goes down under the surface of the water as you can see on the image below.
The second way is by seeing a trail of bubbles appearing going up against your floater and at the point it goes down in the water like before its catchable like the image below.
When the floater goes under the surface press RMB again and a fish will fly up out of the water straight into your inventory.
1. Fish 2. Salmon 3. Clownfish 4. Pufferfish
The raw fish gives 2 hunger points.
The raw salmon gives 2 hunger points.
The clownfish gives 1 hunger point.
The pufferfish gives 1 hunger point but also hunger, nausea and poison.
The fish and the salmon can also be cooked in a furnace giving more hunger points.
Crops (unfinished)
There are wheat, melon, pumpkin, sugar canes, potatoes, carrot and cocoa beans
These are all aquired through farming and to start off we need a hoe and dirt/grass.
The hoe can be crafted alike the other tools we've made so far, its crafting recipe looks like this.
We've got the hoe now we just need some farm land, a great tip is to find a flat place like the plains biome which has a lot of grass to farm on I have choosen this spot close to my house.
Remember the iron we saved for later? Well that will come in handy now as we need a bucket to carry water for the farming, the water will keep the farmlands hydrated which gives it more possibility in growing the corps, to craft the bucket just follow the recipe below.
(Recipe comming soon)

Some parts are placed into spoilers while others aren't. Overall it feels a bit inconsistent to me.
Nevertheless good luck with the contest although you're competition!
Anyway, I got here by your advertising so hence, I shall advertise mine. ;D
