What's up everybody my name is Capp00 and welcome
back to the channel and of all the years of doing YouTube and all the Minecraft videos I've made
and all the tutorials I've gone through one of the things I've never done was a Beginner's Guide on
how to start playing Minecraft because even after all these updates and different versions to come
out there's still no good tutorial or guide to teach you how to play this you just kind of drop
in and kind of have to figure out which is part of the fun of course but when you're brand new it's
very daunting so I thought I would do this series to kind of help out with some new people because
there's tons of new people joining all of the time so there's like a hundred million people playing
across portable console and PC so I'm hoping this video will help you guys out and getting
started for anybody who's new to Minecraft now I'm doing this video on PC in version 1.10 so if
you're using on a console version or the portable edition it may look a bit different but the basic
concept is the same okay let's get started here this right here is your life bar when it runs out
you die this right here is your food bar it slowly goes down over time on its own but it goes down
a lot faster when you're sprinting mining digging building fighting things it slowly depletes now
when your food bar is completely full your life bar will slowly regenerate on its own so you want
to make sure to keep your food intake going to keep your food bar all the way full and you'll
see when it starts going down on its own the bar right below that is your experience bar and as you
destroy things and build things craft things ever you're playing the game basically you'll see it
slowly start filling up with green and eventually you'll see green numbers right there in the middle
of it to tell your current number what your level is and that is basically going to be used for
enchanting which is a little ways off for people who are new so don't worry about necessarily the
bar at the bottom this is your active toolbar this is where you're going to be putting tools
and weapons and items and things that you're currently using but this is where you'll be able
to access your current list of items and you can either press 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 to scroll all the
way through or you can use the scroll wheel to go through them now if you open up your inventory
you'll see all of this storage space up in here to your inventory some people refer to it as your
backpack you got your basic crafting window up here little tuba to spot that you will use to
build some minor things and then when you get to the point where you can find or build armor
this is where you'll equip it you got your head plates leg plates and feet armor and of course
you can equip a shield and then this is what your character looks like here one of the most
important resources you're going to use the most in the entire game is wood especially when you're
starting off here and you get wood from trees so when your very first starting off you're going to
be doing a lot of this punching some trees and do some minor level deforestation here but as you
can see every time you break apart a block you get one block of wood here so you'll want to get
as much as you possibly can for the very beginning and then you'll be going through and getting lots
and lots of wood later as you're building more and more tools if you start building your own place to
live and things of that nature so we'll start off with just a couple of them here and that should
do it a quick pro tip here when you're chopping down trees go ahead and try and take out all of
the existing wood that's in there try and chop up as high as you can until there's no more because
then all of the foliage will slowly start to fade away on its own instead of just sitting there and
it'll slowly start dropping some spruce saplings that you can replant – you know replenish nature
and all that happy fun stuff so you have your wood now that you got here when you pick up widows
come be these basic wood blocks now when they're in this form the only thing you can really do with
them is stack them if you're going to use them for building or use them for source of fuel later on
in your stove but what you want to do is convert these into things you can craft with so you take
the entire stack by left-clicking which real quick if you're if you pick up a stack of things with
left click you'll carry the whole thing you can press right click and it'll slowly put one down
at a time or if you right-click an entire stack you'll take half of it so that's just a quick tip
on how to maneuver things so in a way you don't take your wood blocks and put them up here in your
crafting table and put them anywhere you want to doesn't necessarily matter and each one you have
here is going to give you four wood planks so you can click one at a time and slowly move them
down there or you can hold shift and click it and it'll turn the entire stack into what you have
here it's a quick way to do that okay the first thing you're going to need to do to be able to
do any kind of advanced level crafting is to make a crafting table so pick up your stack you're
going to need four wood planks you go and put them in a square like you have here and now you
have your crafting table put it down your active tool bar and then just find any place you want
to put it which you'll see it kind of highlights the ground as you're moving around looking and
that's the active place that's going to put it and you just right to place it alright now on to
some basic level crafting so your right-click to access the crafting table and you'll see this
one is a 3 by 3 versus the 2 by 2 when it was your personal inventory so you have a lot of wood
planks and you're going to use this for doing a lot of the basic level crafting but something
you're also going to need is sticks and you get that from wood planks so you place one above one
below anywhere on the table it doesn't necessarily matter where that's at and you get four sticks
for each instead of blocks you put up at the top here so you want to make a couple you know when
you waste your entire stack there so the 16 is good to start with and I'll walk you through how
to make the basic tools here so for beginners to what you need to do is to make a pickaxe the most
popular item in the game one you'll use probably more than anything so you place two sticks down
here in the middle now these do matter in the order which you play something two sticks down
here in the middle and three wood planks up at the top and you have a wooden pickaxe also you can
place one at the bottom and then two wooden planks up above it it'll give you a sword and this will
be used for doing main attacks defend yourself off a little bit some other tools that you can make
at the very beginning that you don't absolutely have to is you can make a shovel by placing just
two wood sticks down here in the middle and one plank at the top and get a shovel if you place one
more to the side you'll get a hoe which you'll use later on for farming and you place one more below
that in this format and you can get a wooden axe and you use this for chopping down trees but for
now I'll go ahead and take that but for now don't make too many wooden tools because wood is very
weak in the game and it will break down a whole lot faster what you need to get is to where
you can make some stone tools and then after you upgrade stone a little bit more you'll get
iron tools and then from iron tools you can go all the way up to diamond tools so what you need
to start off with is take your wooden pickaxe and find some cobblestone it looks like this kind
of sitting around the world here you have this grainy stuff which is diorite I believe and then
you have cobblestone and you'll have different things gravel mixed in the mix there and these
are all different kinds of stones that you can pick up but what you need is cobblestone so you
just hold down the left mouse button and you'll pick up blocks just like you would any other
thing and just go ahead and collect a good Chum of cobblestone another important resource
you're going to need very early on is coal and you're going to get it from blocks that look like
these you'll use your pickaxe whichever one you currently have or whatever and just go to town on
each individual block and for each one of them is going to give you one piece of cold you're going
to need as many of you can because you'll use these to make torches torches are what light up
your world of course especially at nighttime it helps keeps mobs the bad guys from spawning it
around you and you'll also use coal for a fuel source when you're doing a lot of your cooking
another pro tip don't lose track of where you put your crafting table you can actually use an axe
and chop it back down to pick it back up so that you can carry with you and then set it back down
a later spot so you don't lose and have to recraft it again but okay now we've got a whole bunch of
cobblestone we picked up some anti and anti sight and diorite either once you need R at the moment
those are going to be for like decorative blocks later on but now that you have some cobblestone
so you can make some more robust tools I would definitely recommend keeping stone pickaxes with
you and you're going to want a stone sword with you both of these will last a whole lot longer
than wood and these will allow you to be able to get some of the other items later on because when
you do find things like iron ore and gold ore and things of that nature you have to have at least a
stone axe to get those okay the next thing you're going to want to be able to make is some torches
torches are easy you can use the crafting table or you can use your personal crafting so if you're
out and about to have your crafting table one stick and one piece of coal will give you four
torches like I said torches light up the night it helps keep mobs from spawning in the next thing
you're going to want to make when you find a place where you can settle down for the night and kind
of just chill for a little bit it's going to be a furnace and that is so that you can make food
edible by cooking it here so all you need is a piece of cobblestone you just place them in the
shape of a picture frame – one in the middle and you will get yourself a furnace furnace works
just like this as far as placing it down just right-click it where if you want to and when you
open it up you're going to see these boxes down here this box right here is the fuel source so you
can put things like wood down here or you can put coal down here and it will actually turn on when
you have something to cook as I've seen earlier your food bar slows it goes down as you can see
mine is right now I'm down three almost three and a half food blocks so I'm going to come up and
take out a cow just beating it with the sword you'll see it gave me three pieces of raw beef
now if you eat this now it's not going to give you much health and can actually make you sick so
what you want to do is come over to your furnace drop a piece of coal in there and put your raw
beef in there you're going to need probably a couple of pieces of coal one cold doesn't last for
very long but you'll see this bar slowly fill up as each one's cooked and it does take a little
while to actually cook things but we have it now you have a piece of steak and to eat all you have
to do is just activate that one by highlighting it in your tool bar there and right click and hold
it down and he will eat it now my food bar is completely full as you see my experience bar has
gone up as well so get these to hang on to them for later and take out my piece of coal again and
that is how you do basic cooking same thing works with chicken and fish if you look up at the sky
you'll see the Sun is slowly moving down as it goes on here during the daytime you're mostly
pretty safe against mobs or bad guys or enemies or whatever you call them those peoples call them
mobs right now there's no none of them around here for me to show you fortunately so I'm pretty
safe but the different kinds of mobs you have are skeletons zombies creepers and spiders those
are the main ones you're going to see all the time in the open world here now zombies and skeletons
do not like the sunlight so if the Sun is up and they're out they're going to be hiding underneath
trees they're going to be hiding in caves because if the Sun catches them catches even a glimpse
of them a little bit of them it'll set them on fire and they will burn to death now creepers
and spiders are not affected by the Sun they will roam around day or night and they will just
go ahead and act like the sun's not even there now spiders can climb that is one thing to keep
in mind about spiders so if you build yourself a small house and you don't put a roof on it and
there's a spider outside they can't climb up over the top and beat you and of course if you know
anything about creepers when they get too close their fuse ignites they get a little bit excited
and they explode so I think that's about it for this very beginners level entry guide to Minecraft
and hopefully it was very useful to anybody who's new to the game we're just starting off and just
once a couple of the tips I will do a part two if enough people have any of the things they want me
to kind of show you how to do in the game this is very elementary for anybody who's been playing it
but I have said out of the thousands of new people that are always playing the game and joining
in then this could be beneficial to them and get them a little bit more acclimated on how to
survive so in the meantime hope this was useful to you guys you know be sure to drop a like on
the video if you found it useful subscribe so you don't miss out on any other videos thank you
so much for your time and I will catch you later you
