I just want to say that if you are a noob and are trying to learn to play MC.
Do you use tutorials that are on like MiecraftWiki and etc... Then you are doing everything wrong. Minecraft has evolved since those were made. Now MC is whatever you want it to be. I was reading those the other day and it told me not to sprint the first few days of playing. I was like WHAT IS THIS?!?!?! Well, so it persuaded me to say this to you guys. In MC you make your own rules. If you want to run around and not make a house go for it. If you want to make the most dangerous, but AMAZING, base ever by all means. It`s what you want. Most Noobs listen to the tutorials and get bored of MC by the 2 day of playing. Because, they didn`t know what MC really was. They thought it was boring, because you need to listen to rules. If you want to dig straight down. Do it at your own risk. MCwiki can`t tell you what to do. So yeah.
