Minecraft: Pro Tips

Tip 1: Never mine the block directly below your feet, you could fall into something nasty, like lava or a long drop.

Tip 2: When exploring caves, put your torches on the right side, so that you can always find your way back by following the torches on the left side.

Tip 3: If you're going into the End, be fully prepared with diamond armor, enchanted weapons, and lots of arrows.

Tip 4: Never look directly at an Enderman unless you're wearing a pumpkin on your head.

Tip 5: If you do end up getting lost at any point, find some iron and redstone, make yourself a compass, and get back to your spawn point from there.

Tip 6: Don't let your food bar drop below 1 empty meat stick, otherwise you won't be automatically healed.

Tip 7: When building upright structures, usually the fastest way is to build 2 blocks up, hold shift, and go around the structure placing 2 blocks in front/below you.

Tip 8: If possible, always carry a few splash potions of healing to throw down in case of emergencies. (They also harm undead mobs!)

Tip 9: On multiplayer servers, hide your chests or lock them if the server has a plugin, and try not to trust people
with valuable things unless you know them personally.

Tip 10: If your computer has low FPS when running Minecraft, install the mod Optifine. It can sometimes double your FPS at the cost of a few small details/features.
