So, you downloaded Minecraft. You opened it. Created a (let's say survival mode) world.

Okay. Wait. Oh cookie. You didn't know how to play Minecraft! Well, this guide will teach you all about the game                   !

So, first of all ,the controls are W for move forward,A for move left, S for move backward, and D for move left. Move your mouse to look around, and press spacebar to jump. More complicated are q to drop stuff, double tap W to sprint, and / for commands.

Proper gameplay So, once you have spawned, find trees and chop down some (hold left click). Get at least 4 logs. Then, open your inventory and put the logs in the 4x4 grid. (shown left is the inventory)

Then, get the planks from the big square and fill them with those planks. Get the crafting table and place it on the ground (right click). There, you can craft tools and more stuff.

Craft an axe and use it to chop down more wood. FYI, the sticks are made by putting 2 planks on top of each other. With the wood you got, craft more sticks and planks for more tools.

With your resources, make a pickaxe and mine stone to craft stone tools (same recipe but replace stone with planks). Also craft a furnace (8 stone with middle square empty in crafting table), kill animals and find coal ore (stone with black specks).
