Heh, this is actually a very funny question! Well I first got minecraft I went to singleplayer and started to figure out what you were supposed to do... After 10 minutes of raging I relized you were building blocks and tried to survive because it came zombies in the middle of everything. I went to youtube to learn more and saw what you could do and got stunned... I built my first dirthouse and within time I added small stuff as log wood and cobble, learning from youtube. Then I found minecraft wiki and everything got easier.
