Starting Minecraft
As seen in the name, the main activity of Minecraft is mining and crafting. The items you will be mining are gold which can then be used to purchase supplies needed to craft a tool, a home, some weapons, etc. With the game’s vast environment, there are a few activities you can start with. The first activity and most important activity is collecting logs.
You can collect logs from trees by approaching the tree and clicking it with your left mouse button. This is a recurring activity as logs are the base of the most valuable tools such as Torches, Crafting Tables, and Chests. Another valuable source is Bedrock. There are unbreakable blocks that are used to prevent intruders from approaching you. You can create a shovel and dig up 4 layers off the ground.
An optional but highly-rewarding activity is heading to the cave mines. Here, you find coal and iron that you can use to add to your inventory. While it is not necessary to prepare your exploration, it will be worthwhile to bring torches, a sword, and a suit of armor. The most important of the three are torches. As with real mines, there is no defined entrance or exit so it will help to mark your path with torches
