New to Minecraft

Minecraft is a game played by millions of players and this is the most explained and easy to understand tutorial.

Crafting - You are spawned in the middle of a forest with your punch. Hey go punch trees by holding the left mouse click for a while. Got your wood blocks? Great! Press E to open your inventory, you can see your items, character and the mini crafting table. Hey! Put the wood in the mini crafting table located in the upper right corner. 4 empty squares, put the wood in one of them. Have you got wooden planks? Click and drag them into your inventory.
Now let's craft something. Fill the minicrafting table with wood. (right click to place the wood in each of the spaces)
You got a big crafting table! Nice, you are a very good player. Let's craft a sword because night is coming along and monsters are coming. Interested in monsters? Read the red part.

I. Creepers - He has no hands and it is green...if you get close to him you will hear an snake sounds (SsssSSs) after a few minute he will blow.
II. Zombies - They have the same clothes as your character but their skin is green and they damage your life when they touch you (life can be found down, in the middle of the screen (red))
III. Spiders - They can climb walls and have red, creepy eyes that scare you. He also takes damage when touching you.
This are the most found monsters, enderman pigmans and others will be discovered by you as you learn.

Now the crafting recipe for the sword. Take your big crafting table and put it somewhere after you selected it and right click the place you want the crafting table to be. Put 2 wooden planks one on another (one down middle, one on it)You get some sticks. Grab them and put them into your inventory. You learn really fast! Now lets open again the crafting table (right click) then put one stick down in the middle and 2 wood above it. Did you get the sword?

Housing - time goes so fast, let's make a house, we can place wood around us...or easier, find the closest mountain and dig a hole in it which you can stay when it is night. As you dig, you will find stone, it is hard to break with the fist, so we need to craft a pickaxe. Open the crafting table and put 1 stick down in the middle and one more above it. Place wood, everywhere on the upper part of the table (3 wood needed)
You have a wooden pickaxe that helps you cut through stone easily. Quick I hear a spider, get in the house.
Blind huh? If you have 8 stone, you can fill the crafting table and take out the middle stone. You get an oven. Now get fast one piece of wood (not wooden plank) and burn the wood in the oven. You get chorcoal. To make a torch get to the crafting table again and put one stick anywhere and place one chorchoal on it. You get 4 torches that you can place them anywhere on your house by right clicking to make light. ^^

Exploring - as day comes out, you start to explore minecraft, you find pigs, cows and more from which you can get food, but we will talk about this later. You study closely the land and find for nice areas you start making your better house. When you get lot's of wood from trees you make it wooden planks and make a wood house in which you can stay. You can get your torches back my holding left click and "cutting them". Gorgeous world right?

MOBS and NPC's - Hey! Your hunger bar is low (Health bar is located near life bar)! We should get some food. Do you see any pigs or cows near your house? I see ! Go hunt it down with your sword, 1-2 beafs should fall on the ground.Go to your house and put it into the oven (You can eat it raw but it heals you less). After the meat is cooked hold right click and eat it. Your hunger bar grew! Tip - If hunger bar gets empty you die, better not remain with no food.If you dig down enough, you will find iron which you can make a bucket or a lighter. The bucket is used to milk cows for food. The lighter is used to have a camping fire. WARNING : DO NOT LIGHT THE FIRE NEAR WOODEN HOUSES! Now about NPC's, they can be found by exploring, you find them near a village made by them. They have pretious materials in their village from which you can steal. (NPC's wont attack you if you steal or hit them).

Digging - Lot's of pretious materials can also be found deep inside the soil. You can find diamonds (Very Rare) , redstone (Rare) , iron (Normal) chorchoal (Easy to find) and more. You use them for crafting stuff and getting stronger armour.

Climate - In minecraft climate changes! Sometimes it rains, sometimes not. Sometimes is snowing and lot's of fun! Minecraft is awesome if you get the taste of it. Thunder's happens when it is raining too much. If they hit a creeper he will be super charged and have a bigger explosion. SUPERCHARGED-CREEPERS are very powerfull and dangerous, you should avoid them. (They have an violet light on them) If a thunder hits you, you are dead.

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial for newbies ^^. This are the basics a newbie needs to know. Nothing special.

Enjoy minecraft! It's Awesome!
