I play on bedrock (xbox 1) I'm more of a casual gamer, and I'm mediocre at building.
I'm not the best at mc, but certainly not the worst. I don't die that often, but that's because I'm stupid careful. I place torches in the entire cave before I go mining, so once I clear all of the mobs, I don't have to worry about them ever spawning again. I used to only touch creative mode for about 6 years until I got minecraft on the xbox 1. But in those 6 years of never really experiencing the real game, I was a crazy fan of minecraft and soaked my brain with everything that was in it. So luckily I had a head start before diving into my first survival world. I sucked at first. I died all the time, and it took forever for me to get a bed. Once I had a bed, I would always skip night. As of now I am good at the game. I can survive the nether with iron gear, raid a piglin bastion, and I can fight against a pillager raid as long as I have a partner along side me.
