*Grunt*   *Wheeze*    Sgt. Creep crawled across the cave, his uniform covered in blood. He had to warn them. He had to warn all of them. He reached at his belt and pulled out a book and quill. There was no time to lose.

Look soldier, I ain't got no time, so I'll be brief. Minecraft is one of the most complex battlefield environments out there in the military word. It is an ideal place to train for future warfare and self defense. It requires a perplexing amount of focus as well as an undying spirit to survive. Knowing that 99.9% of rookies that enter minecraft do not come out alive, I am here to provide a detailed guide to survive in the un-forgiving world of minecraft...

1. Food is essential to life. Therefore make it good.

When raiding, camping, air striking, or just milling a tank around, make sure to carry as much nutrient filled grub as possible. Here I will list the cheapest yet most effective way to get your vitamins.

1. Spider string. Spider string is the a very nutritious way to get vitamin b12 and protein. Spider string is developed by sticky anal glands that are woven together by a strong binding element such as carbon tetrafluoride. Spiders are usually found at night scattered around the attack zone. Rarely they are found during the planning period between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. If they are seen during this period they are not hostile. But make sure to engage in combat whenever possible against spiders because of their valuable string and eyes. 

2. Dead bush. Dead bushes are commonly found in desert areas. Dead bushes are a crunchy, mineral stuffed snack which you should always carry around in need of emergency. But be aware that in the biome that the dead bushes are commonly found in there are many hostile targets during the night. Those include unmanned "Zombie" Drones, Self propelled "Skeleton" Artillery units and of course the mobile explosive unit nicknamed "Creeper". 

2. Always carry a full loadout of assault and melee weaponry.

"That door you just kicked down was locked for your safety, not mine."

The only way to make sure that you successfully complete your day-to-day missions, training, and bootcamp rituals, is to always have at least 400 calibers worth of lead ready to wip out at any time. So fill up your big boy pants with M16s and P90s, because right now your about to file every single organism in this world into one category: EXTINCT. Yep, you heard me. I want you, Yes, YOU, to go out there and start spitting lead like the NRA on the 4th of July. 

3. True leaders don't make followers, they make more leaders.

The only way to successfully survive is to constantly expand. Everyone is a warrior, and every warrior begins with you. Every village you go to, give one villager a gun, another a spade, another a bag of spiced spider string. But just keep on giving, and eventually in the end, everyone will be giving to you and your cause. So always remember, the spirit fuels the fight and the fight fuels the spirit.

Now you are completely prepared to go out in the wilderness of war and fight for your freedom. Now go out there soldier and MAKE ME PROUD! 

Sgt. Steve came rushing into the cave. He knelt beside Sgt. Creep's blood stained body. "C'mon man you can't leave us here. Out here in the wild, no one knows this place better than you!" 
Sgt. Creep clutched the book against his chest, over his heart, and slowly closed his eyes...
