Note before you start that I inserted a spoiler within a spoiler, so remember when you click a spoiler and maximize it the spoilers inside it wont be minized but rather opened automatically. So please close them when the choosing part comes

Welcome to my "Survival Guide- The butterfly Effect"

Explanation: In this guide I will start off with the basics then there will be the
 
Butterfly Effect you will eventually be given a couple of paths, each path will guide you to a different way of surviving. This guide will be of two chapters, Chapter 1 is the Butterfly effect survival guide and chapter 2 will give you hints and tips(they will contain some art work)

Chapter 1

The Butterfly Effect Survival Guide
So you spawned in a new world, you got nothing but your old classic Steve's costume. What do you do?
Don't worry my name is Mr.Obsi and I'm here to guide you ^_^

So to start off you first need some wood! Search for a tree and punch it down with your own fists just like this!
Spoiler - click to reveal
Survival Guide- Butterfly Effect.
Now you have wood logs, you turn them into wood planks by just placing them in your inventory's crafting table like this
Spoiler - click to reveal
Survival Guide- Butterfly Effect.
Now to what you want to do with this wood
A- Craft a pickaxe and start mining.
You will now craft a pickaxe and start your journey in the deep underground where you search for ores, fight hostile mobs and bear the cruel tremendous heat of the Lava lakes!

So first off you need to get a pickaxe! craft a crafting table first
Survival Guide- Butterfly Effect.

Now you will notice that this crafting table is 3x3 unlike the inventory's crafting area(2x2)
this can open a lot of possibilities to crafting bigger things! now to crafting a pickaxe!

Use this pickaxe to mine your way deeper into the ground, But wait! before you go any further upgrade your pickaxe! mine some stones and do the same as you did with a wooden pickaxe, this time place cobblestone instead of wood planks
 
Mine for coal, iron ores and craft your self an iron pickaxe

you can get the iron by crafting a furnace and smelting the ores using coal as a fuel, you can also use wood and other wooden tools as fuel(dont throw away your wooden tools, use them for smelting)


The reason you need an iron pickaxe, not a wooden nor a stone one is because wooden and stone pickaxes can't mine diamond!
+
Iron pickaxes are way faster and have a higher durability

So now you can craft all sort of tools and combat armour/sword with this iron.
get your self a proper gear and go even deeper inside the underground realms,like the abandoned mineshaft , the hazardous dungeons with the mob spawner that can spawn endless different kind of mobs, like skeletons zombies and cave spiders! yes big mean poisonous spiders


You can find generated chests inside the mineshaft as for the dungeons you can always use it as an xp farming grinder(I will get to this ina  moment)

Now to craft your combat tools and gear!






You will now go deeper! you will find different kind of ores like redstone, lapis, emerald, DIAMOND! and more!
So now you are probably asking what is the use of these ores well for redstone it's used as circuits for lighting up lamps doors etc there is just a never ending creations in redstone. Lapis is use for colouring and for enchanting too. Gold can be used to crafting shiiiiiny armours and tools but is best used to craft Golden Apples and Golden enchanted apples(aka notch apples aka god apples aka gapples aka what ever the heck others call it)

So now to find diamond you need to go really deep underground, press "F3" and see the co-ordinates, stay in the Y: of 1-12 as diamond tend to stay


Now to upgrade your tools//armour to diamond level! so do the same as you did with the iron armour but instead of iron ore, place diamond!

Good work! you started getting the hang of it!

So now you get out of the underground, go back to the surface, you are full of ores, precious items and ready to rock!

Choosing time.
A-Continue surviving as a warrior type (use combat gear and sword)CLICK ME!
Now surviving as a Warrior type include a lot of fighting and combat skills, so choose wisely!

So here begins your journey of surviving as a Warrior,

A Warrior usually explores the lands, fight the strongest of enemies to redeem himself in the minecraft world! You will travel through the different worlds just to fight the strongest and conquer to sruvive! Yes, your world isn't the only one in  minecraft. There's 3 worlds in minecraft, the normal world you spawn in, the nether and The End!

Every world has its own unique mobs and biomes, let me first explain the nether and how to go there.

This is the nether

How to go there? well to go there all you need is just create a portal like this(you will need 10 obsidian and "flint and steel")

Now after you complete building the portal,stand in the violet glow like thingy and wait for few seconds so it can teleport you there.

In the nether you will find a lot of mobs most of them are hostile mobs, like ghast, blaze, magma cube, wither skeleton and there's rather a weird neutral mob called the Zombie Pigman, they are extremely powerful, fast and they never attack you unless yous start a fight with them so watch out!


(NOTE: this picture was not drawn by me, though all the other animation I used in this survival guide are 100% drawn by me)

OFCOURSE let's not forget the scariest and strongest of them all! the.......WITHER!

a mob that can destroy everything in it's path! it will keep on throwing explosive objects that can cause havoc all over the world!(this mob can only be spawned by a regular player to sawn it place sandsouls in a T form and place 3 wither skeleton heads on it just like that)

But look out you do not want to mess with this mob unless you are ready for him! so take care warriors!.
Killing him is totally worth it actually because he drops something called the nether star
What does the nether star do?
well you can craft a Beacon!

What does this Beacon do?


Beacon blocks can function as light sources, emitting a light level 15. Like other light sources, they will melt snow and ice. They cannot be pushed by pistons.


When "activated", beacon blocks provide two unique functions:
  • An aesthetic landmark beam reaching into the sky, which can be visible from far away.
  • Powers, which give players status effects within a certain range.

You can use different blocks like iron, emerald, gold and diamond.

LevelMineral BlocksStacks of BlocksMineralsStacks of MineralsLayers
19 blocks81 minerals1 stack + 17 minerals3×3, Beacon
234 blocks306 minerals4 stacks + 50 minerals5×5, 3×3, Beacon
383 blocks1 stack + 19 blocks747 minerals11 stacks + 43 minerals7×7, 5×5, 3×3, Beacon
4164 blocks2 stacks + 36 blocks1,476 minerals23 stacks + 4 minerals9×9, 7×7, 5×5, 3×3, Beacon


Now of course it's expensive and hard to complete, but trust me it is totally worth it!
Fun fact: you can place coloured glass above the beacon to get coloured light beam!

Finally, the last and most important thing you can find in the nether is the nether fortress!

it contains a blaze spawner, even nether warts which can be used to brew all different kind of potions!
The nether fortress is a generated structure found within the nether.

Alright now enough talking about the nether and let's talk a little about the end and how to survive in The End and basically how to go there too!
but look out surviving in the end isn't that easy at all and there s mobs like the eerie Enderman and THE ALMIGHTY ENDER DRAGON!

yes a dragon that can breathe fire and cause destructi...... just kidding he can only fly around, pass through walls and hit players. No he can't breathe fire and no he can't destroy crap. Although he may be a lame dragon but hey! you can earn the ender dragon egg once you kill him and decorate your house with it!

This is "The End" world

This world contains these generated pillars with these crystals like thingy levitating above them, they actually help regenerate the ender dragon's health and you need to destory them in order to kill the dragon. You can destory them with a bow or your sword.
after you kill the ender dragon you will see this


now it have something weird about it, once you hit it, it disappears and re appears in a different nearby location!
so how to obtain it in your inventory? move it witha  piston or place a torch under neath it then make it fall on the torch.

Now the best way to kill an ender dragon is using a bow.

How to go to the end? you are probably asking, well simple just kill an enderman obtain the ender pearl dropped from them then add blaze powder to ender pearl in your crafting table just like this to obtain the eye of ender

So now all you got to do s throw the eye of ender and it will start levitating in mid air! follow it and it will lead you to an underground stronghold!


It will have a couple of mazes inside  the stronghold, just search through for the ender portal shown in the ss, it will have some missing eyes as you can see, so place  your eye of ender inside the end portal blocks to activate it!

and volaaaa! you got into the end world!
and here my friend your journey as a warrior ends and the rest is upto you and your imagination in the game ^_^

B- Continue surviving as a redstoner/grinder/farmer
In this guide I won't really teach you the basics of redstone, I will just cut right to the chase with how to create a farm within an average house and survive the game my just farming/grinding and probably mining, but porbably use redstone as you hate fighting using a sword or just not a big fan of it.

So you just finished mining, you are full of cobblestone, ores and other blocks that can be used to build a house.
Building a house isn't something I can teach you, like come on my 7 year old cousin knows how to build one. Building a house requires your imagination but here I will build one as an example

This is a regular house




A normal average house, you know a room with a sleeping bed a chest furnace, chest and a farm including a part for animals(dat chicken stare though)

Now you are probably wondering "But Obsi, where the heck is the redstone in the screenshot!??!) don't worry I will come to it in a moment.

Here we added some redstone to the door(well tbh only a pressure plate but it still counts)


How to craft a pressure plate:

As you can see when I stepped on the pressure plate the door opened, now this is due to the fact that you stepped on the plate triggering a pulse that in return caused the door to receive the pulse thus opening) as I said I wont really get much into details but Im trying to summarize it as much as possible as this is a survival guide not a tutorial for how to learn the basics in redstone.

This is the farm I created earlier but I added some redstone to it



As you can see I added sticky piston underneath the dirt blocks(the one with the wheat seeds above it) and then connected redstone repeaters to it with redstone dust.
A better screenshot here on how to connect them together


How to create the repeater, sticky piston and lever?

A Sticky piston



A repeater



A lever



So now as we are done with the basics on how to survive as a farmer/redstoner, you are probably asking how am I supposed to be a grinder?
Well grinding in the game can be done in so many ways for  example in online servers they grind to earn money, some grind to earn mcmmo stats(you dont need to know much about this as we are just speaking on how to survive basic minecraft single player mode) and there is the xp farm grinding where you use a spawner to grind xp and get supplies from mobs like bones strings etc etc etc!

Now let me teach you how to create a simple grinder.(note grinding can be used by warriors/pvpers a lot! to grind stats/money for their combat gear, tools and other miscs. as I said no need to get into this within my guide)


So what you basically do is add water as you can see in the first picture and then make a way for the zombies to drop in with out them being able to reach/hurt you and then you go from below and kill them

just like this

Ik what you guys are saying "But Obsiiii!!! we don't like using combat tools/armours!"
Well no worries redstone can solve the problem!
Just craft a dispenser, get some redstone, lever and some lava buckets aaand you are all good to go!
How to craft a dispenser


Now craft a bucket, search for lava and fill them up!


then just build this little bad boy over here!



Use the same trick I taught you with the pistons (the wire trick with the repeater and redstone dust)
then connect them to the dispensers, then fill the dispensers with the lava buckets you have. and Bingo! you got your self an auto grinder!.

So now you got some basic knowledge on how to survive like a redstoner/grinder/farmer

Thanks for trying me out!(read last)
So now you got your self some knowledge on how to survive as a redstoner/farmer/grinder and how to survive as a Warrior that loves adventures!
But hey Ik what you are thinking "Obsi why can't we do both!" of course you can! no one is stopping you but this is just the butterfly-effect survival guide made by me and I want to make it easier for others to know how to survive in their own way!
 
B-Build a dirt house and hide in it
