Never crossed my mind that for someone who's never played before, the sheer volume of mechanics and craftables would be overwhelming. For veteran players, these have been released incrementally for a decade and a half; each iteration adds new stuff to get to grips with. New players, as evidenced by yourself, cannot distinguish the fundamentals from the inessentials. Enjoying this content.
exactly... there its a lot of tips and mechanics someone NEED to know, correct mouse clic to use and other mechanics... Maincraft should have a "tutorial world" or "training area" for new gamers
@@YuProducciones they used to have a Tutorial world on console edition, and it would guide you through all the different mechanics, systems and items with loads of cool prebuilt structures too > th-cam.com/video/anzxoVEaaSA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pSN6O-9xPgseTanh
And pickaxes are required for picking up stone and ores! Though some ores require stronger pickaxes. A good way to tell how strong you need your pickaxe to be, is that the brighter the ore is, the stronger the pickaxe required (if that makes sense)
2:18 Throwing away fifteen hay bales was bad because the fifteen hay bales could've been made into 45 bread. All you need is a crafting table to turn hay into bread. Placing a hay bale into any crafting grid gives you wheat, and three wheat horizontally makes a bread. A hoe is used to harvest hay bales. Also, I will never tire of watching newbies getting freaked out by enderman, always hilarious.
When you use the wrong tool, you won't get stuff --> you need to use a pickaxe on stone to get cobblestone (instead of a shovel - it won't give you anything) :)
@@DrewGoodHelp Sometimes you get stuff but it will take longer to break the blocks with the wrong tool. That's why you got wood when using the pickaxe but it took much longer
@DrewGoodHelp If you don't have. The right tool or strength of tool for breaking stones & ores, you end up permanently destroying what you break instead of mining it.
In the village you could see haystacks. I advise you to take them all, recraft them into a pile of wheat, and the wheat on the crafting table into a pile of hearty bread
Oh wow, nice, on the 6-th episode you're actually kinda doing the stuff most folks do in their first 5 minutes of the playthrough. HELL YEAH progress. One day you'll also gotta make your stuff be pretty, but baby steps.
To make a window for your sandcastle you can smelt sand into glass :) Minecraft Basic Tool Guide: Axe = Wood Variants | Pickaxe = Stone Variants | Shovel = Dirt/Sand/Gravel | Shears(2x Iron) = Wool/Leaves | Hoe = Tilling Soil/Haybales (there's more detail to the tool but far from your level of progress) Sword: To use effectively wait at least a second before attacking again Fishing Rod(2 String, 3 Sticks): Fishing in bodies of water will sometimes give you rare loot
I just got done binging the whole painful series. I swear this is worth the read. I tried to stick to the things that you seem to have the most questions about. What I think you need is someone patient enough to sit there and answer your questions while playing. Left click is for attacking, breaking, harvesting and mining. Right clicking is for interacting, activating or opening. I've noticed that you do no pay attention to the names of the items needed to craft something in the recipe book. The game will not forgive you for not paying attention. It is not 4 wood or 4 logs that make a crafting table, but 4 planks. 4 planks are made for each log put into a crafting grid in a single space in that crafting grid. Your inventory (when you press E) has a 2 by 2 crafting grid. You can craft things that can be made in a 2 by 2 crafting recipe. Like sticks and planks. The crafting table (when you right click it) has a 3 by 3 crafting grid. Unlocking crafts that can only be done in a 3 by 3 crafting grid. This includes most things including tools, gear including armor, utility blocks or "tables" like the crafting table, smithing table and furnace. The red outlines around the items in the recipe book mean that you know the recipe but don't have the items required in your inventory or aren't in the right crafting grid to make it. When it cycles through multiple wood types in the recipe book, like it did when you tried to make a crafting table, it was just trying to tell you that you can make it with birch planks, oak planks and other types of planks. Not that it requires a particular type of plank. The recipe book also has a search function. On the left-hand side there are categories of blocks. The top one on is a compass. While selected it will let you see and search from all the recipes you know in the search bar at the top. The toggle at the right of the search bar lets you switch from seeing and being able to search items you're able to craft and all your known recipes. When fishing you cast out your line in a big enough body of water after some time the end will bob in and out of the water to show a fish is on the line. You then click again to reel it in. Each animal has a type of food they like and will follow any player who holds it in their left hand. The cows in your last episode followed you so obsessively because you were holding wheat. Chickens like wheat seeds. Pigs like carrots. Cats like fish. As others have pointed out not every item is good at mining or breaking certain blocks. Remember how fun it was to quickly run under all those leave breaking them with the sheers. The shovel is faster at digging dirt and sand than a pickaxe or an axe. The axe is faster with wood. The pickaxe is faster with stone and anything harder than stone. Each tool has variants in crafting materials and restrictions on what it can harvest. A wooden pickaxe can mine iron ore, but it will not drop an iron ingot. You need a stone pickaxe or better to get the ingot. So, there is progression you use wood to get stone, stone to get iron, iron to get diamond, diamond to get netherite. Tools of the same type and variety can be combined in a grid to replenish one of the tools health. Put two wooden shovels with low health in a grid and you'll get one wooden shovel with more health. Quit worrying about the ender dragon. It is an "end game" boss that you are not even close to being ready for. It is not in the dimension. You won't find it no matter how far you walk. Speaking of when you're exploring. Everything you see is generated. Nobody placed those rocks you thought must be where the dragon was. There wasn't anything on top because nobody made it. Beds can be broken down and taken with you. Torches do prevent enemies from spawning but only because they emit light and any light prevents spawning, but only in the light. Anything that isn't light up (there are exceptions) outside of a radius of 128 blocks around you can spawn enemies. Meaning putting a torch down and standing by it won't save you. The light does not scare enemies away. When you're running at night. They aren't following you that fast, more are spawning in front of you inside that 128 blocks. Thats why it feels like there's nowhere safe. If you have a torch, building blocks like dirt or wood, a door if you don't want to break blocks and don't make the inside too dark you will be safe from spawns inside a light up structure. The big black monsters are called enderman. As long as you don't look them in the eye, they will not attack you. The safest way to deal with them is to put them in a boat because they can't get out or teleport away. Boats are quite useful because you can move and contain mobs with them. If the mobs ai makes them walk into a boat, including hostile mobs like zombies and skeletons, they will enter the boat as long as there is space in it for them. Yes, this does mean you can put two cows in a boat. A dissertation I know, but I hope this helps.
OH, and one more thing. Foods like bread do not heal you, all they do is refill your saturation or hunger bar. As long as you are full, you'll regenerate health. The less hungry you are longer you are able to run. Too hungry and you can't run at all.
couple more tips from things I saw in this video - 1 stick and 1 coal makes 4 torches, coal can be found commonly in caves, it looks like a stone block with black patches in it. When you go in a cave, you should equip yourself with a good amount of torches, a weapon to fight with, and food to heal, since caves are dark, which allows monsters to spawn. The torches will be useful since it can help you find your way back, but also lights up the cave so that monsters can’t spawn behind you. When you go mining, if you break a block but it doesn’t drop anything, it either means you aren’t using a strong enough tool (like how stone pickaxe is stronger than wood) or you are using the wrong kind of tool (like axe instead of pickaxe). Also, if you want to go deep, finding a fairly large cave is the fastest way to do it. However, digging your own tunnel is safer, but it takes much longer to find anything, and breaks all your tools
He found coal just at the moment when he plugged the water in that hole he was making. He was so close to mining that and shedding a whole new light on things (pun intended), but instead saw the copper and mined some of that, which isn't going to help much for now.
It feels like you made a lot of progress this episode. I hope you are enjoying minecraft as much as I enjoy these videos. Also there is a search bar if you want to find a recipe when crafting.
having your own base of operations is a huge improvement, also, you can always build a furnace in the crafting table and... if you want COAL just burn wood in the furnace, to start the furnace use wooden sticks at the bottom, you can make wooden sticks in the crafting menu or crafting table.
Congratulations on your first house! I'm so glad you've continued to play. I know it can be frustrating if you're not used to the lack of direction or instruction. The first house is a huge milestone for every player! (I really hope that by the current episode someone has taught you to use the right tool for the right job. They break less quickly and get you more resources. Some blocks won't give you any items unless you break them with the correct tool.)
green bar is xp, which is gotten from killing mobs, mining certain ores, and probably a few other methods i'm forgetting. just know that if you have more than thirty you can get some real cool shit later on. also when you die you still get a small percentage of what you originally had once you find your stuff, but if you had 100 levels it'd give you like ten or so in return
Basic upgrade path for your tools/Armor - Use wood pick axe to get cobble stone. Make stone Tools. Use Stone pick axe to get iron ore. Smelt Iron ore in furnace to make Iron Ingots. Make Iron tools and Armor from Iron ingots. Use Iron pick axe to get Diamonds. Make Diamond tools and Armor, they will last a long time.
I notice you’re mostly in the desert, finding resources is rough in the desert. You can smelt logs into charcoal, and can use charcoal for anything you use coal for like smelting iron ore into ingots or cooking food. Stick around for a while after mining logs because the trees will decay and drop both sticks and saplings. Oak trees also drop apples. Never leave a floating tree. Replant your trees so you don’t have to go hunting for wood. Saplings are planted on dirt and take a while to grow. A tree won’t decay if it’s touching a log.
Mining 101 Tip: Light your way. Torches are your friends. Darkness spawns bad things. That's why the village is all lit up. Make torches: stick plus coal or charcoal equal torch. Burn logs to make charcoal. Mine coal where ever you find them. Good luck. And have fun. 🙂🙃🙂🙃😉 PS: craft an oven.
Torches can be crafted using sticks and coal/charcoal. Coal can be found underground (the higher up, the more there is), and charcoal can be obtained by roasting wood in a furnace (I recommend using planks as fuel)
LMAO the Enderman panic, making the walls thicker 😂😂 you can kill them though, it takes a few sword strikes. (also how you get your first hint to find the dragon)
there are few monster that wont attack you unless you do some stuff or situational events. Spiders dont attack you during day unless you attack them, but they will always attack you at night. The enderman (tall black with purple eyes) wont attack you unless you look them directly in their eyes, but they wont touch you when you're inside water. Also just a tip if you want to have trusted companions go to forest and find some wolves and using bone you can tame them, you might need a lot but its rng. they will attack whoever you attack even your friends.
Press F3 on your keyboard to open the debug menu. There, on the left, you will be able to see the coordinates (X, Y, and Z). X and Z show your position in the world, and Y is your altitude at which you are located. Remembering what X and Z your house is at, you can easily return home after a long journey. And knowing that iron most often appears at Y=16, you can quickly find enough iron to make iron tools, armor, and a sword. By the way, diamonds (Y≈-60) can only be mined with an iron pickaxe. Diamond items are better than iron ones, so you will need them later
Following solely for how amusing this is as someone whose played a ton of minecraft; I will say theres ALOT to this game, cant wait for you to discover the other dimensions XD
9:14 through 9:34 had me dying laughing. Endermen can indeed pick up “natural” blocks such as sand and dirt. In order to make your house walls fully mob-proof, you’ll need to build them out of something crafted, like cobblestone wooden planks, bricks, stone bricks, etc.
Hi I've been playing since like 2009. Here's a list of actually useful starter tips: -You should have 1-2 pickaxes on you at all times, and an axe or sword (edit: NOT a shovel lol) as a weapon (early game at least made of stone). Making a stone pick should literally be the first thing you do after getting wood. Many items require a pick to even collect. -You will need an iron pickaxe for the better ores like diamond (and I think redstone and maybe gold) Axe does more damage that sword but is slower. -If you aren't using the right tool for the job (axe for wood items) then just use your fists because it's the same speed and saves durability. -Carry a bed with you at all times so you can instantly sleep at night to prevent monsters spawning. Placing the bed and sleeping ASAP to keep monsters from spawning at all is far more important than finding a safe place because some don't burn in daylight (creepers, husks). -A shield is super important (1 iron ingot and some wood planks) because it can block arrows and negate all damage from creeper explosions. -monsters don't spawn under certain light conditions so place torches in and around your living area. -crouching will prevent you from falling off ledges -the F3 menu has X-Y-Z coordinates if you want to write down locations. -Making a basic wheat farm: Wheat seeds can be found by breaking grass (that grows). Make a hoe and till grass blocks to plant seeds on (with water nearby). Wheat grows in stages. Melon can be turned into seeds to grow melons too. -3 wheat in a line makes bread. You can get a bunch of wheat by placing a haybale in crafting grid. -You can make a clock using 4 gold and 1 redstone dust (found deep underground). -It's better to find caves than to just dig into the ground. Do something like placing blocks or torches in a way to prevent getting lost. -Smelting sand makes glass blocks (which can be turned into glass panes for windows) -Don't look at the Enderman (tall black creature) and it won't attack you. If you stand under a 2-block high area it can't get to you and you can kill it easily. -Shift click to move items across inventories. Double click an item to collect all of the item to your mouse. -How to tame horses/camel: right click with open hand (it will buck you off) and keep doing it until it likes you. You know it worked when inventory shows horse while riding. You need a saddle to actually control it though (found in world chests mostly) -a Grindstone can be used to repair items by combining them. it's made with sticks, planks, and a stone slab (smelt cobblestone for stone, 3 stone in a row for slabs). It disenchants enchanted items though. -If your even considering being near ocean then keep a boat on you (5 wood planks). -If your having trouble finding coal you can make some by burning logs in a furnace. -Each coal smelts 8 but Blocks of coal smelt more than coal by itself. Lava bucket smelts more than a full stack if you collect some. -Copper is mostly for decorative blocks but lightning rods will help prevent lightning from lighting your stuff on fire. -Trading with villagers (right click) can level them up for more trades. Placing certain "job site" blocks near them can give them jobs for trades (you will have to look them up there's like 13). -Spiders give string for bows. You can get arrows from skeletons or crafted from flint (chance from shoveling gravel) feathers (chickens), and stick. -Breading animals for farms (feed two animals): sheep:wheat, cows:wheat, pigs:carrots/beats, chickens:seeds. -You can make maps but you need a compass (iron and restone dust) and paper (from sugar cane). You can try making a cartography table (paper and planks) and placing it near a villager for a job, they might sell maps.
3:03 the green numbers and bar are ur level; Exp can be gained from killing mobs(monsters and animals), mining some types of ore, colecting smelted/cooked from the furnace and many more. Levels are usefull for enchanting tools, weapons and armor in a "Enchanting table"(E-table), to mack one u need 2 diamond, 4 obsidian and 1 book, for better enchatments suround the placed E-table by bookshelfs (MAX 15), with 1 block of gapbetwean the E-table and the shelfs. Note: u need a bleu ore called Lapis Lazuli to enchant ur stuff
Oh man, your minecraft series was recommended from youtube just two days ago. And only today the next part arrives. I love it! I’m started Minecraft in a very early alpha and what you are doing, play it just to explore how it works and don‘t spoiler yourself with some wikis, is just the way i learned how to play minecrft years ago. I miss that feeling, but I‘m glad it can still be experienced with the newer versions of the game. Can‘t wait for the next part! ❤
9:20 Yes it did! Most things in the game aren't able to break/pick up blocks, except if they make explosions like creepers. Endermen are the exception, they are able to pick up a specific small list of blocks and put them back down somewhere else. The blocks they're able to pick up are basically just things you naturally find on the ground: sand, dirt, gravel(?), and flowers (kinda cute when the terrifying monster holds a flower), that's basically the whole list. If you want to keep your walls 😅, just don't make them out of sand or dirt, pretty much. But even then, endermen will only pick up one block every 1-2 minutes or so, so there's no real threat of a sudden attack.
That tall black monster (Enderman) will only attack you if you look into his eyes. If he does attack you, jump into the water: Endermen are afraid of water and won't go into it. By the way, you'll need the Ender Pearls late in the game that drop after their death with a certain chance
Hey, you can hold shift when moving things through your inventory and chests to immediately move stuff instead of dragging things. This is such a fun series! Also, the green bar with the number above it at the bottom is your experience. You can use it to upgrade your gear! Your making great progress and I can’t wait to see more 😊
In Minecraft you can do whatever you want because it is not a linear game with a beginning, middle, and end. The player has total creative freedom to decide what they want to do. Of course, there is a lot to explore and conquer, but your goals are up to you. P.S. 😂Please do not leave your workbench behind, simply store it in your inventory to access whenever you want.
when you are breaking stone, wood or any kind of block use the right tool for it, and if you don't have it use your hand, this way you won't have issue with the durability of your tools, a pickaxe can be used for hard stuff (minerals, stone, sandstone, ...), shovel for sand, dirt, gravel, ... and yeah don't use a shovel or a sword to break a tree or a block of stone, it's not gonna give you anything and you'll waste durability and time. By the way, even if there is a lot of stuff to say you have to know that, wooden pickaxe will be used to collect stone, stone pickaxe will be used to collect stone/iron, iron pickaxe can mine any mineral (redstone, gold, iron, lapis, diamonds, ...) and then gold/diamond is like the iron pickax but quicker (even tho the golden one has way less durability !). That's a lot of stuff to keep in mind, i know, but know that you're doing a great job and one day you'll reach the end dimension. 😌
At 9:04 that mob who attacked you was a enderman. They only attack you if you look at them in the eyes they can teleport also. They also can pickup blocks and place them somewhere else.
Now this is looking more like Minecraft gameplay lol! I'd recommend using blocks that aren't sand for building, just cause sand falls and that can make building harder The villager and cat looking at you when you fell was hilarous lol
The combat is pretty simple If you press F3 and H at the same time you can see stats of tools and weapons The sword that appears under your crosshare when you hit is the attack cooldown (Spam clicking is basically useless) If you jump while you are falling if you hit you get a crit which does extra damage Finally a sword does less damage than an axe but the axe cooldown is longer hope this helps
Remember if you find iron ore, you must have at least stone pickaxe (wooden one don't gonna work). Also, flowers are used to make dyes (you can dye lots of stuff, your bed for example)
I don't remember at which point you asked but the green number at the bottom of the screen is your level! You gain levels through mining ores, smelting stuff, killing etc. You lose all levels when you die. You use your levels a lot further in the game, when adding magic abilities to your tools and armor (don't worry about it for now lol). Hope that was hopeful, can't wait to see how you progress in the upcoming episodes !!
Green bar is experience, you gain experience as green orbs from killing stuff, getting stuff from a furnace, and mining certain blocks. Some blocks have "gravity" like sand and gravel, so they fall. Other blocks will just... float. Finally, the switching of the blocks DOES mean you can use anything it shows. Your home isn't sad. Most first homes are a hole in a mountain with a door and window. Or a hole in the ground.
Advice , try cook everything in the furance to see if it makes things. Anything wooden or coal can be used to fuel the furance :). Sticks are important for all tool recipes so make a few (2 planks) placing blocks directly below you- and jumping is a fast way upwards.
The tall all-black mob is called an enderman - they're the only ones that can actually pick blocks! But only one at a time, very rarely. I wouldn't worry about them messing up your base any time soon lol
stone/sandstone can only be picked up with a wooden pickaxe, then you need a stone pickaxe, to pick up iron (for iron ingots). Basically each upgrade to your tools allows to pick up better stuff
In a furnance you can craft coal for torches.... and sand to glas. So you can watch outside your base ;-) Remember: everywhere where its dark monsters can spawn - also IN your house
I started following you a couple of weeks ago, this is series is very entertaining! Keep it up! A couple of tips for you :You could turn on your coordinates in your setting menu, it'll be useful to remember where your house, or any interest you find in future episodes! Take a screenshot of each place. You can combine 2 very worn tools of the same to make 1 with the combined durability. It helps with inventory management. Place torches to prevent monsters from spawning in the lit areas. Hope these tips help and waiting patiently for the next episode!👏👏
One thing you should make are some torches. To make them you can use either coal or charcoal. To make charcoal you can burn logs in a furnace. ex: wood planks bottom slot, logs top slot. To make torches you need sticks and coal or charcoal (both are interchangeable) in the crafting table you put sticks in one slot and coal or charcol in the slot above it. Torches can be used to light up an area when placed and prevent hostial mob spawning in that area. Dont know how helpful this information is but its here if you need it.
You can carry an extra bed with you, in case you are far away and can't get home before nightfall, you can put the bed on the floor anywhere and sleep as soon as the sun sets, before the monsters appear. If the monsters have already appeared I recommend hiding in a closed place before trying to sleep. I always do this to avoid getting lost at night. You can also make a compass that points to your bed, and you can make a map, if you combine a map and a compass you can see a point on the map that shows your location.
3:03 The green bar is your XP levels , you use the XP levels when you enchant books and tools at an enchantment table Enchantment Table recipe - 2 Diamonds 1 Book 4 obsidian blocks
Gravel and sand fall down where other things just float game logic. Buttons and levers open metal doors. Also stone walls may look ugly but wont burn unlike wood houses in case you start a fire XD
I just found your series and its great, its so fun to see a new player learn. You can craft a shield by doing a Y shape out of any wooden planks in the crafting table and placing a single iron ingot in the top empty space!, it can stop pretty much any attack also remember to use the right tool for the right job, a shovel for dirt,sand and stuff like that and a pickaxe for stones and gems
You can make a several levels of your house, up or bottom of your bedroom, don't look on endermans, this is provoking them, water kills them, sleep deprivation calling phantoms on your head, they flying and attacking frome the sky
3:03 The green "2" at the bottom of your screen is your experience levels. You use your experience levels to enchant items at an enchanting table. To craft an enchanting table, you need 4 obsidian, 2 diamonds, and a book.
More tips! 1- about time: every day consist in 10 minutes of day and 10 of night more or less. At night enemies spawn at night some die, some go pacific and some stay agresive. The tall black enemy for example is always neutral unless you look at them (and can occasionally steal blocks but only 1) 2- about tools: you are correct! If you break a block with the incorrect tool or with the hand it will go slower AND Don't give you the material 3- village: I know is tempting but avoid staying in villages too much if you can't defend them. The villagers are the key to the economy in the game. That will get you a much easier time later, so if you stay there without defending them you are spawning enemies around that will kill them 4- furnace: you can do your own charcoal if you burn LOGS (not planks, only logs) and with that you can burn your iron or make torches to help you seeing in the mine, or to make a safe zone around your house or the village to stop enemies from appearing 5- bow and arrows: you can get a bow if you kill spiders to get string, but for the arrows you need feathers from chickens, sticks and flint from breaking gravel. So you probably can't use it for now. But keep it in mind! 6- sugar cane: you probably don't know but you have a really useful material in front of your house. See those "bamboo like" things? Those are sugar cane, you can use them to do paper and eventually a map! And some other things haha Break the ones from the top so it can grow again and if you want you can plant back the ones you obtain to get even more later. Believe me, it will be useful 7-VERY IMPORTANT: don't question it, just do it for now... Go to your base and press the button F3 in your keyboard, it will display a overwhelming amount of information you won't understand but we do. With that we can guide you to home if someday you get lost. At least until you get a map and compass That's it for now, I'm Soo happy you finally have something you can call home, that is great progress ^^ Little by little you will progress and understand the game, I'm sure of it ^^
You need to first gather wood, craft planks, then a crafting table, use wood to make wooden tools, you need a wooden pickaxe to get stone, use stone to make stone tools, you also need stone to make a furnace, use a furnace to cook food and smelt ores, you'll need coal or charcoal, you can also burn anything wooden. Make charcoal by cooking logs in a furnace with planks. When you get 3 iron you can make a pickaxe, you need an iron pickaxe to mine diamond. You need at least a stone pickaxe to collect ores like iron. And everything you make will require a crafting table besides basic things like planks, torches, and sticks
Tools will only help with their specific job. For example, using a pickax will not make mining a tree faster. Sword for killing things, Pickax for stones and ores, axe for wood, shovel for dirt sand and gravel, and a hoe for making soil to grow crops. And if you hold something else, it will still use up a lot of duration which will make it break very fast.
Specific tools are required for acquiring certain items...and what the tool is made of makes a difference....you only need a wood pick long enough to get a stone pick....once you have a stone pick you can gather iron....once you have an iron pick you can mine diamonds to then make a diamond pickaxe...with this you can aquire most blocks...
Pickaxes (and other tools/weapons) have a progrerssion. Wood -> Stone -> Iron -> (Gold - not worth it) -> Diamond -> Netherite (but that's made by improving a diamond tool/weapon)
I suggest building a little fenced in area around your house and leading some animals into it using wheat (sheep and cows) or seeds (chickens). You can click on these animals with their respective food and they’ll make babies. This will give you an infinite food source if you keep making more animals, letting them grow up and then culling them. Don’t forget to add more torches so that enemies do not spawn near your house at night.
drew is cooking , also try mineing by digging either straight down and look for iron, dimaond, gold and more with a wooden pickaxe and take your crafting table and use stone and sticks to make a stone pickaxe to mine easier and find more resources and build bigger houses and go exploring for destroyed nether portals to go to the second area (the nether)
The tall black monsters don't attack unless you look them in the eye. They can teleport and they hate water. If you build your roof 2.5 blocks high using slabs for the roof, they can't spawn inside. Put torches on your left as you go down/explore caves so you know to follow back out it's 'right to the light'
*TIPS* 1. The green bar with number is your exp bar. You will use that exp for making your tools and armor stronger (but first you would need an enchanting table for that) 2. Make a stone pickaxe -> go dig into a cave and gather "iron" ores -> smelt the ores in the furnace to make iron ingots to make more op stuff. The stuff which you can or cannot gather depends on the tools you break it. You can pick up stone with any pickaxe, but getting ores will require stone picaxe or higher (iron, diamond) 3. You can search for a recepie in the book, there is a search bar. 4. After getting iron stuff, go deeper into the ground to find diamond. Diamonds are stronger and more durable. 5. You can make bow with strong (which you get from spiders) and sticks. Arrows are sticks, flint (from gravel blocks) and feathers (from chickens) 6. You can farm: you can use hoe on a ground (right click) close to water and using seeds you can plant your crops (wheat seeds, carrots, potatoes, beets, watermelons, pumpkin) 7. You can make animal farms: you can breed animals, by feeding them their favorite food. Feed two animals that are close to each other: cows and sheeps like wheat, chickens like seeds, pigs like many stuff like carrots or potatoes. 8. You can get wool by using shears on sheep. 9. Going to nether: once you gear up it would be a great progression if you want to see the dragon one day. To go to the nether you will need a portal: at least 10 pieces of obsidian blocks (made by pouring water on lava and digging with diamon picaxe), then punting them in a upright frame shape, after that you will need a flint & steel (flint + iron ingot) to fire up the portal to nether. 10. To make a torch you will need sticks and coal (coal ores are the stone onesies with black spots, or you can make a furnace and make charcoal by smelting wooden LOGS) etc xD
hello drew. i've come across your minecraft tryout videos and have to say that todays episode was by far the best one for me to watch. you're making good progress at exploring the game and i would love to watch more of you in the future!
6 parts in and he finally figured out the difference between logs and planks. Though, I am not sure he knows what the wood is. (It's the same as logs but with the bark texture on all sides. Mostly decorative)
Jeffrey never forgets until you trade with the villagers enough to regain you good standing...killing jeffrey is easy but still dangerous if you get it wrong...gain his aggro run a short distance to an open area..."pillar up"(crucial skill where you place blocks underneath you while holding jump) 3 blocks high and attack from the safety of your pillar
you can also shift click things into chests. so click the shift button and the item you want in an open chest, it will pop in. will save you manually moving it. to find way home, open up your F5 and it will give co-ords up top left handside. there are mods that give you a mini map if you wanna set that up too. hope these help

Never crossed my mind that for someone who's never played before, the sheer volume of mechanics and craftables would be overwhelming. For veteran players, these have been released incrementally for a decade and a half; each iteration adds new stuff to get to grips with. New players, as evidenced by yourself, cannot distinguish the fundamentals from the inessentials. Enjoying this content.
Right? I forget we had so much time to get used to it, but then I put my auntie to play and.... well, it was bad. 😂
exactly... there its a lot of tips and mechanics someone NEED to know, correct mouse clic to use and other mechanics... Maincraft should have a "tutorial world" or "training area" for new gamers
@@YuProducciones they used to have a Tutorial world on console edition, and it would guide you through all the different mechanics, systems and items with loads of cool prebuilt structures too > th-cam.com/video/anzxoVEaaSA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pSN6O-9xPgseTanh
@YuProducciones I remember minecraft having a tutorial level years ago. (On Xbox/PlayStation at least)
"Jeffrey, guard my holes." - Drew GoodHelp 2024
Jefferey is a great character lol
"Please don't tell Jeffrey!" - Drew GoodHelp, literally one minute later
I was laughing so hard at that part 😂😂😂
XD
14:02 shovels are used for breaking dirt, sand, gravel, and other similar materials. hoes are used for tilling dirt into farmland to place seeds.
putting a comment here so he sees this
And pickaxes are required for picking up stone and ores! Though some ores require stronger pickaxes. A good way to tell how strong you need your pickaxe to be, is that the brighter the ore is, the stronger the pickaxe required (if that makes sense)
I THOUGHT THIS WAS COMMON SENSE OMG
2:18 Throwing away fifteen hay bales was bad because the fifteen hay bales could've been made into 45 bread. All you need is a crafting table to turn hay into bread. Placing a hay bale into any crafting grid gives you wheat, and three wheat horizontally makes a bread. A hoe is used to harvest hay bales.
Also, I will never tire of watching newbies getting freaked out by enderman, always hilarious.
Yeah when I saw him leave it I shead a tear lol
When you use the wrong tool, you won't get stuff --> you need to use a pickaxe on stone to get cobblestone (instead of a shovel - it won't give you anything) :)
Thank you! I wasn't sure if that was the reason or not
@@DrewGoodHelp Sometimes you get stuff but it will take longer to break the blocks with the wrong tool. That's why you got wood when using the pickaxe but it took much longer
@DrewGoodHelp And the tool will break faster if used in something that was not made for
@@DrewGoodHelp I explain this and much more in my comment. Take a look, I hope it helps.
@DrewGoodHelp If you don't have. The right tool or strength of tool for breaking stones & ores, you end up permanently destroying what you break instead of mining it.
In the village you could see haystacks. I advise you to take them all, recraft them into a pile of wheat, and the wheat on the crafting table into a pile of hearty bread
Max is 7
@@kriazhvania Like this so he could see it!! He needs food! 🥖
Oh wow, nice, on the 6-th episode you're actually kinda doing the stuff most folks do in their first 5 minutes of the playthrough. HELL YEAH progress.
One day you'll also gotta make your stuff be pretty, but baby steps.
To make a window for your sandcastle you can smelt sand into glass :)
Minecraft Basic Tool Guide:
Axe = Wood Variants | Pickaxe = Stone Variants | Shovel = Dirt/Sand/Gravel | Shears(2x Iron) = Wool/Leaves | Hoe = Tilling Soil/Haybales (there's more detail to the tool but far from your level of progress)
Sword: To use effectively wait at least a second before attacking again
Fishing Rod(2 String, 3 Sticks): Fishing in bodies of water will sometimes give you rare loot
I think you should do a creative episode to try out different blocks and building
definitely
I don’t want him to get spoiled on all the mobs though lol
@@chewy99. Yeah I agree
@@Zakbawesome yes. But not yet. Let him get deeper into the game
I wanna see him learn redstone... Ive been playing for over 4 years and I still only do super basic stuff... 😂
I just got done binging the whole painful series. I swear this is worth the read. I tried to stick to the things that you seem to have the most questions about. What I think you need is someone patient enough to sit there and answer your questions while playing.
Left click is for attacking, breaking, harvesting and mining. Right clicking is for interacting, activating or opening.
I've noticed that you do no pay attention to the names of the items needed to craft something in the recipe book. The game will not forgive you for not paying attention. It is not 4 wood or 4 logs that make a crafting table, but 4 planks. 4 planks are made for each log put into a crafting grid in a single space in that crafting grid.
Your inventory (when you press E) has a 2 by 2 crafting grid. You can craft things that can be made in a 2 by 2 crafting recipe. Like sticks and planks. The crafting table (when you right click it) has a 3 by 3 crafting grid. Unlocking crafts that can only be done in a 3 by 3 crafting grid. This includes most things including tools, gear including armor, utility blocks or "tables" like the crafting table, smithing table and furnace.
The red outlines around the items in the recipe book mean that you know the recipe but don't have the items required in your inventory or aren't in the right crafting grid to make it. When it cycles through multiple wood types in the recipe book, like it did when you tried to make a crafting table, it was just trying to tell you that you can make it with birch planks, oak planks and other types of planks. Not that it requires a particular type of plank. The recipe book also has a search function. On the left-hand side there are categories of blocks. The top one on is a compass. While selected it will let you see and search from all the recipes you know in the search bar at the top. The toggle at the right of the search bar lets you switch from seeing and being able to search items you're able to craft and all your known recipes.
When fishing you cast out your line in a big enough body of water after some time the end will bob in and out of the water to show a fish is on the line. You then click again to reel it in.
Each animal has a type of food they like and will follow any player who holds it in their left hand. The cows in your last episode followed you so obsessively because you were holding wheat. Chickens like wheat seeds. Pigs like carrots. Cats like fish.
As others have pointed out not every item is good at mining or breaking certain blocks. Remember how fun it was to quickly run under all those leave breaking them with the sheers. The shovel is faster at digging dirt and sand than a pickaxe or an axe. The axe is faster with wood. The pickaxe is faster with stone and anything harder than stone. Each tool has variants in crafting materials and restrictions on what it can harvest. A wooden pickaxe can mine iron ore, but it will not drop an iron ingot. You need a stone pickaxe or better to get the ingot. So, there is progression you use wood to get stone, stone to get iron, iron to get diamond, diamond to get netherite. Tools of the same type and variety can be combined in a grid to replenish one of the tools health. Put two wooden shovels with low health in a grid and you'll get one wooden shovel with more health.
Quit worrying about the ender dragon. It is an "end game" boss that you are not even close to being ready for. It is not in the dimension. You won't find it no matter how far you walk. Speaking of when you're exploring. Everything you see is generated. Nobody placed those rocks you thought must be where the dragon was. There wasn't anything on top because nobody made it.
Beds can be broken down and taken with you. Torches do prevent enemies from spawning but only because they emit light and any light prevents spawning, but only in the light. Anything that isn't light up (there are exceptions) outside of a radius of 128 blocks around you can spawn enemies. Meaning putting a torch down and standing by it won't save you. The light does not scare enemies away. When you're running at night. They aren't following you that fast, more are spawning in front of you inside that 128 blocks. Thats why it feels like there's nowhere safe. If you have a torch, building blocks like dirt or wood, a door if you don't want to break blocks and don't make the inside too dark you will be safe from spawns inside a light up structure.
The big black monsters are called enderman. As long as you don't look them in the eye, they will not attack you. The safest way to deal with them is to put them in a boat because they can't get out or teleport away. Boats are quite useful because you can move and contain mobs with them. If the mobs ai makes them walk into a boat, including hostile mobs like zombies and skeletons, they will enter the boat as long as there is space in it for them. Yes, this does mean you can put two cows in a boat.
A dissertation I know, but I hope this helps.
OH, and one more thing. Foods like bread do not heal you, all they do is refill your saturation or hunger bar. As long as you are full, you'll regenerate health. The less hungry you are longer you are able to run. Too hungry and you can't run at all.
Please make more episodes. I love the clueless exploration. It's a beautiful change of pace from all the minecraft content that's made today.
True, we all know this game so that's fun lol
keep playing this world mane, youll figure it out slowly but surely, subbed to watch this content.
couple more tips from things I saw in this video - 1 stick and 1 coal makes 4 torches, coal can be found commonly in caves, it looks like a stone block with black patches in it. When you go in a cave, you should equip yourself with a good amount of torches, a weapon to fight with, and food to heal, since caves are dark, which allows monsters to spawn. The torches will be useful since it can help you find your way back, but also lights up the cave so that monsters can’t spawn behind you. When you go mining, if you break a block but it doesn’t drop anything, it either means you aren’t using a strong enough tool (like how stone pickaxe is stronger than wood) or you are using the wrong kind of tool (like axe instead of pickaxe).
Also, if you want to go deep, finding a fairly large cave is the fastest way to do it. However, digging your own tunnel is safer, but it takes much longer to find anything, and breaks all your tools
Also you should add if you can't find coal nor torches you can make your own coal by putting log into furnace
He found coal just at the moment when he plugged the water in that hole he was making. He was so close to mining that and shedding a whole new light on things (pun intended), but instead saw the copper and mined some of that, which isn't going to help much for now.
It feels like you made a lot of progress this episode. I hope you are enjoying minecraft as much as I enjoy these videos. Also there is a search bar if you want to find a recipe when crafting.
I'm screaming in agony as he breaks stone with his hand.
😂
having your own base of operations is a huge improvement, also, you can always build a furnace in the crafting table and... if you want COAL just burn wood in the furnace, to start the furnace use wooden sticks at the bottom, you can make wooden sticks in the crafting menu or crafting table.
Congratulations on your first house! I'm so glad you've continued to play. I know it can be frustrating if you're not used to the lack of direction or instruction. The first house is a huge milestone for every player!
(I really hope that by the current episode someone has taught you to use the right tool for the right job. They break less quickly and get you more resources. Some blocks won't give you any items unless you break them with the correct tool.)
green bar is xp, which is gotten from killing mobs, mining certain ores, and probably a few other methods i'm forgetting. just know that if you have more than thirty you can get some real cool shit later on. also when you die you still get a small percentage of what you originally had once you find your stuff, but if you had 100 levels it'd give you like ten or so in return
Basic upgrade path for your tools/Armor -
Use wood pick axe to get cobble stone.
Make stone Tools.
Use Stone pick axe to get iron ore.
Smelt Iron ore in furnace to make Iron Ingots.
Make Iron tools and Armor from Iron ingots.
Use Iron pick axe to get Diamonds.
Make Diamond tools and Armor, they will last a long time.
and then you can explain netherite ... ancient debris, as well x,D - but diamonds will be fine.
5:25 many items require the crafting table to be made due to many crafting recipe's size, which would not fit in a 2x2
I notice you’re mostly in the desert, finding resources is rough in the desert. You can smelt logs into charcoal, and can use charcoal for anything you use coal for like smelting iron ore into ingots or cooking food. Stick around for a while after mining logs because the trees will decay and drop both sticks and saplings. Oak trees also drop apples. Never leave a floating tree. Replant your trees so you don’t have to go hunting for wood. Saplings are planted on dirt and take a while to grow. A tree won’t decay if it’s touching a log.
Mining 101 Tip: Light your way. Torches are your friends. Darkness spawns bad things. That's why the village is all lit up. Make torches: stick plus coal or charcoal equal torch. Burn logs to make charcoal. Mine coal where ever you find them. Good luck. And have fun. 🙂🙃🙂🙃😉 PS: craft an oven.
Torches can be crafted using sticks and coal/charcoal. Coal can be found underground (the higher up, the more there is), and charcoal can be obtained by roasting wood in a furnace (I recommend using planks as fuel)
I am so glad you are playing more Minecraft. You are hilarious. I am now subscribed.
The kitty bit your nose 😂😂😂❤❤❤
REALLY REALLY HARD! lol
shift+click to move instantly between chests, and also to craft multiple items at once (for example, to make a whole stack of wood into planks)
LMAO the Enderman panic, making the walls thicker 😂😂
you can kill them though, it takes a few sword strikes. (also how you get your first hint to find the dragon)
there are few monster that wont attack you unless you do some stuff or situational events. Spiders dont attack you during day unless you attack them, but they will always attack you at night. The enderman (tall black with purple eyes) wont attack you unless you look them directly in their eyes, but they wont touch you when you're inside water. Also just a tip if you want to have trusted companions go to forest and find some wolves and using bone you can tame them, you might need a lot but its rng. they will attack whoever you attack even your friends.
Press F3 on your keyboard to open the debug menu. There, on the left, you will be able to see the coordinates (X, Y, and Z). X and Z show your position in the world, and Y is your altitude at which you are located. Remembering what X and Z your house is at, you can easily return home after a long journey. And knowing that iron most often appears at Y=16, you can quickly find enough iron to make iron tools, armor, and a sword. By the way, diamonds (Y≈-60) can only be mined with an iron pickaxe. Diamond items are better than iron ones, so you will need them later
Following solely for how amusing this is as someone whose played a ton of minecraft; I will say theres ALOT to this game, cant wait for you to discover the other dimensions XD
9:14 through 9:34 had me dying laughing. Endermen can indeed pick up “natural” blocks such as sand and dirt. In order to make your house walls fully mob-proof, you’ll need to build them out of something crafted, like cobblestone wooden planks, bricks, stone bricks, etc.
yes this was hilarious haha!
Hi I've been playing since like 2009. Here's a list of actually useful starter tips:
-You should have 1-2 pickaxes on you at all times, and an axe or sword (edit: NOT a shovel lol) as a weapon (early game at least made of stone). Making a stone pick should literally be the first thing you do after getting wood. Many items require a pick to even collect.
-You will need an iron pickaxe for the better ores like diamond (and I think redstone and maybe gold) Axe does more damage that sword but is slower.
-If you aren't using the right tool for the job (axe for wood items) then just use your fists because it's the same speed and saves durability.
-Carry a bed with you at all times so you can instantly sleep at night to prevent monsters spawning. Placing the bed and sleeping ASAP to keep monsters from spawning at all is far more important than finding a safe place because some don't burn in daylight (creepers, husks).
-A shield is super important (1 iron ingot and some wood planks) because it can block arrows and negate all damage from creeper explosions.
-monsters don't spawn under certain light conditions so place torches in and around your living area.
-crouching will prevent you from falling off ledges
-the F3 menu has X-Y-Z coordinates if you want to write down locations.
-Making a basic wheat farm: Wheat seeds can be found by breaking grass (that grows). Make a hoe and till grass blocks to plant seeds on (with water nearby). Wheat grows in stages. Melon can be turned into seeds to grow melons too.
-3 wheat in a line makes bread. You can get a bunch of wheat by placing a haybale in crafting grid.
-You can make a clock using 4 gold and 1 redstone dust (found deep underground).
-It's better to find caves than to just dig into the ground. Do something like placing blocks or torches in a way to prevent getting lost.
-Smelting sand makes glass blocks (which can be turned into glass panes for windows)
-Don't look at the Enderman (tall black creature) and it won't attack you. If you stand under a 2-block high area it can't get to you and you can kill it easily.
-Shift click to move items across inventories. Double click an item to collect all of the item to your mouse.
-How to tame horses/camel: right click with open hand (it will buck you off) and keep doing it until it likes you. You know it worked when inventory shows horse while riding. You need a saddle to actually control it though (found in world chests mostly)
-a Grindstone can be used to repair items by combining them. it's made with sticks, planks, and a stone slab (smelt cobblestone for stone, 3 stone in a row for slabs). It disenchants enchanted items though.
-If your even considering being near ocean then keep a boat on you (5 wood planks).
-If your having trouble finding coal you can make some by burning logs in a furnace.
-Each coal smelts 8 but Blocks of coal smelt more than coal by itself. Lava bucket smelts more than a full stack if you collect some.
-Copper is mostly for decorative blocks but lightning rods will help prevent lightning from lighting your stuff on fire.
-Trading with villagers (right click) can level them up for more trades. Placing certain "job site" blocks near them can give them jobs for trades (you will have to look them up there's like 13).
-Spiders give string for bows. You can get arrows from skeletons or crafted from flint (chance from shoveling gravel) feathers (chickens), and stick.
-Breading animals for farms (feed two animals): sheep:wheat, cows:wheat, pigs:carrots/beats, chickens:seeds.
-You can make maps but you need a compass (iron and restone dust) and paper (from sugar cane). You can try making a cartography table (paper and planks) and placing it near a villager for a job, they might sell maps.
Chiming in to confirm that these are extremely useful tips!
Important tips!! 👆
Let's hope he'll read it! Bro needs help. But it's fun to see him discover things on his own😁✨️
You are getting into it, I can tell!! Keep the episodes coming, love ‘em
3:03 the green numbers and bar are ur level; Exp can be gained from killing mobs(monsters and animals), mining some types of ore, colecting smelted/cooked from the furnace and many more.
Levels are usefull for enchanting tools, weapons and armor in a "Enchanting table"(E-table), to mack one u need 2 diamond, 4 obsidian and 1 book, for better enchatments suround the placed E-table by bookshelfs (MAX 15), with 1 block of gapbetwean the E-table and the shelfs.
Note: u need a bleu ore called Lapis Lazuli to enchant ur stuff
Oh man, your minecraft series was recommended from youtube just two days ago. And only today the next part arrives. I love it!
I’m started Minecraft in a very early alpha and what you are doing, play it just to explore how it works and don‘t spoiler yourself with some wikis, is just the way i learned how to play minecrft years ago. I miss that feeling, but I‘m glad it can still be experienced with the newer versions of the game.
Can‘t wait for the next part! ❤
Yes I agree. I like how he’s discovering things in his own.
Honestly playing minecraft for the first time is really fun and once ina life time experience:D
I look forward to seeing you become a Minecraft pro one day, and then look back on your first episodes and see where you came from.
9:20 Yes it did! Most things in the game aren't able to break/pick up blocks, except if they make explosions like creepers. Endermen are the exception, they are able to pick up a specific small list of blocks and put them back down somewhere else. The blocks they're able to pick up are basically just things you naturally find on the ground: sand, dirt, gravel(?), and flowers (kinda cute when the terrifying monster holds a flower), that's basically the whole list.
If you want to keep your walls 😅, just don't make them out of sand or dirt, pretty much. But even then, endermen will only pick up one block every 1-2 minutes or so, so there's no real threat of a sudden attack.
He dropped the hay bales because "useless for him, just useful to look at" 😵💫. I'm thinking about all the bread he could have made with it...
That tall black monster (Enderman) will only attack you if you look into his eyes. If he does attack you, jump into the water: Endermen are afraid of water and won't go into it. By the way, you'll need the Ender Pearls late in the game that drop after their death with a certain chance
Hahahaha so funny! At least you figured out cobblestone tools 😂 I love it
i am so proud of the gamer he's started gaming after 5 episodes of pure agony
you can make chests that can store stuff
nvm i got later in to the video
haha finallllly figured it out. kinda
Hey, you can hold shift when moving things through your inventory and chests to immediately move stuff instead of dragging things. This is such a fun series! Also, the green bar with the number above it at the bottom is your experience. You can use it to upgrade your gear! Your making great progress and I can’t wait to see more 😊
8:24 u get string to craft a bow by killing spiders, they have a chance to drop some
In Minecraft you can do whatever you want because it is not a linear game with a beginning, middle, and end. The player has total creative freedom to decide what they want to do. Of course, there is a lot to explore and conquer, but your goals are up to you.
P.S. 😂Please do not leave your workbench behind, simply store it in your inventory to access whenever you want.
when you are breaking stone, wood or any kind of block use the right tool for it, and if you don't have it use your hand, this way you won't have issue with the durability of your tools, a pickaxe can be used for hard stuff (minerals, stone, sandstone, ...), shovel for sand, dirt, gravel, ... and yeah don't use a shovel or a sword to break a tree or a block of stone, it's not gonna give you anything and you'll waste durability and time. By the way, even if there is a lot of stuff to say you have to know that, wooden pickaxe will be used to collect stone, stone pickaxe will be used to collect stone/iron, iron pickaxe can mine any mineral (redstone, gold, iron, lapis, diamonds, ...) and then gold/diamond is like the iron pickax but quicker (even tho the golden one has way less durability !).
That's a lot of stuff to keep in mind, i know, but know that you're doing a great job and one day you'll reach the end dimension. 😌
At 9:04 that mob who attacked you was a enderman. They only attack you if you look at them in the eyes they can teleport also. They also can pickup blocks and place them somewhere else.
I love the resourcefulness we all share. But new players have more of it. Like the carpet for the bed and the door was so nice.
He's still mining cobblestone with shovel. It seems like he rediscovers the crafting everything time he looks at it.
Now this is looking more like Minecraft gameplay lol!
I'd recommend using blocks that aren't sand for building, just cause sand falls and that can make building harder
The villager and cat looking at you when you fell was hilarous lol
12:02 many items, such as stones and ores, require specific tools to drop their item.
The combat is pretty simple
If you press F3 and H at the same time you can see stats of tools and weapons
The sword that appears under your crosshare when you hit is the attack cooldown (Spam clicking is basically useless)
If you jump while you are falling if you hit you get a crit which does extra damage
Finally a sword does less damage than an axe but the axe cooldown is longer
hope this helps
Remember if you find iron ore, you must have at least stone pickaxe (wooden one don't gonna work).
Also, flowers are used to make dyes (you can dye lots of stuff, your bed for example)
I don't remember at which point you asked but the green number at the bottom of the screen is your level! You gain levels through mining ores, smelting stuff, killing etc. You lose all levels when you die. You use your levels a lot further in the game, when adding magic abilities to your tools and armor (don't worry about it for now lol). Hope that was hopeful, can't wait to see how you progress in the upcoming episodes !!
Specifically, it’s called “experience”!
It is just so funny and refreshing seeing someone freaking out about something like an enderman…
I could watch this for actual years, it's honestly more entertaining than the youtubers who already know how to do everything
I absolutely enjoy seeing him discover and learning
Green bar is experience, you gain experience as green orbs from killing stuff, getting stuff from a furnace, and mining certain blocks.
Some blocks have "gravity" like sand and gravel, so they fall. Other blocks will just... float.
Finally, the switching of the blocks DOES mean you can use anything it shows.
Your home isn't sad. Most first homes are a hole in a mountain with a door and window. Or a hole in the ground.
9:19 enderman can pick up blocks. they are angered when looked at in the eyes
Advice , try cook everything in the furance to see if it makes things. Anything wooden or coal can be used to fuel the furance :). Sticks are important for all tool recipes so make a few (2 planks) placing blocks directly below you- and jumping is a fast way upwards.
The tall all-black mob is called an enderman - they're the only ones that can actually pick blocks! But only one at a time, very rarely.
I wouldn't worry about them messing up your base any time soon lol
7:10 There is a way, you just have to hold shift before you click on the thing you want to move. Hope i helped
stone/sandstone can only be picked up with a wooden pickaxe, then you need a stone pickaxe, to pick up iron (for iron ingots). Basically each upgrade to your tools allows to pick up better stuff
plant the saplings on dirt so the trees can grow ( it will take little time for it to grow ) {you can get saplings from leaves}
Can you imagine if in the future Drew is joining the lifesteal smp or something.
In a furnance you can craft coal for torches.... and sand to glas. So you can watch outside your base ;-)
Remember: everywhere where its dark monsters can spawn - also IN your house
lol don't look at the Enderman ( tall dark scary skinny mobs) they'll attack you if you look at them directly with your pointer
I started following you a couple of weeks ago, this is series is very entertaining! Keep it up! A couple of tips for you :You could turn on your coordinates in your setting menu, it'll be useful to remember where your house, or any interest you find in future episodes! Take a screenshot of each place.
You can combine 2 very worn tools of the same to make 1 with the combined durability. It helps with inventory management.
Place torches to prevent monsters from spawning in the lit areas.
Hope these tips help and waiting patiently for the next episode!👏👏
One thing you should make are some torches. To make them you can use either coal or charcoal. To make charcoal you can burn logs in a furnace.
ex: wood planks bottom slot, logs top slot.
To make torches you need sticks and coal or charcoal (both are interchangeable) in the crafting table you put sticks in one slot and coal or charcol in the slot above it. Torches can be used to light up an area when placed and prevent hostial mob spawning in that area. Dont know how helpful this information is but its here if you need it.
You can carry an extra bed with you, in case you are far away and can't get home before nightfall, you can put the bed on the floor anywhere and sleep as soon as the sun sets, before the monsters appear. If the monsters have already appeared I recommend hiding in a closed place before trying to sleep. I always do this to avoid getting lost at night. You can also make a compass that points to your bed, and you can make a map, if you combine a map and a compass you can see a point on the map that shows your location.
3:03 The green bar is your XP levels , you use the XP levels when you enchant books and tools at an enchantment table
Enchantment Table recipe - 2 Diamonds 1 Book 4 obsidian blocks
I'm loving this pace, don't spoil yourself just keep playing and learning.
This Minecraft gameplay is the best !
I love it..
Gravel and sand fall down where other things just float game logic. Buttons and levers open metal doors. Also stone walls may look ugly but wont burn unlike wood houses in case you start a fire XD
I didn't even know you could start a fire!!
@@DrewGoodHelp flint and iron make a flint and steal witch can make fires. Or if you make a bucket and put lava in the bucket XD
@@DrewGoodHelp Yes Drew arson is a real thing in Minecraft LOL
I just found your series and its great, its so fun to see a new player learn. You can craft a shield by doing a Y shape out of any wooden planks in the crafting table and placing a single iron ingot in the top empty space!, it can stop pretty much any attack also remember to use the right tool for the right job, a shovel for dirt,sand and stuff like that and a pickaxe for stones and gems
You can make a several levels of your house, up or bottom of your bedroom, don't look on endermans, this is provoking them, water kills them, sleep deprivation calling phantoms on your head, they flying and attacking frome the sky
3:03 The green "2" at the bottom of your screen is your experience levels. You use your experience levels to enchant items at an enchanting table. To craft an enchanting table, you need 4 obsidian, 2 diamonds, and a book.
Build a home ( stack few blocks or dirt) light a torch put a door and a bed voila you've got yourself a safe spot for respawn anywhere
Love this series learning everything only from raw experience ❤.... Salute to your efforts and patience...❤
You can make torches by using a furnace to smelt logs into charcoal.
13:25 lava can be used to make obsidian (only breakable by diamond pickaxe) for enchantment tables, a nether portal, and fueling a furnace.
More tips!
1- about time: every day consist in 10 minutes of day and 10 of night more or less. At night enemies spawn at night some die, some go pacific and some stay agresive. The tall black enemy for example is always neutral unless you look at them (and can occasionally steal blocks but only 1)
2- about tools: you are correct! If you break a block with the incorrect tool or with the hand it will go slower AND Don't give you the material
3- village: I know is tempting but avoid staying in villages too much if you can't defend them. The villagers are the key to the economy in the game. That will get you a much easier time later, so if you stay there without defending them you are spawning enemies around that will kill them
4- furnace: you can do your own charcoal if you burn LOGS (not planks, only logs) and with that you can burn your iron or make torches to help you seeing in the mine, or to make a safe zone around your house or the village to stop enemies from appearing
5- bow and arrows: you can get a bow if you kill spiders to get string, but for the arrows you need feathers from chickens, sticks and flint from breaking gravel. So you probably can't use it for now. But keep it in mind!
6- sugar cane: you probably don't know but you have a really useful material in front of your house. See those "bamboo like" things? Those are sugar cane, you can use them to do paper and eventually a map! And some other things haha
Break the ones from the top so it can grow again and if you want you can plant back the ones you obtain to get even more later. Believe me, it will be useful
7-VERY IMPORTANT: don't question it, just do it for now... Go to your base and press the button F3 in your keyboard, it will display a overwhelming amount of information you won't understand but we do. With that we can guide you to home if someday you get lost. At least until you get a map and compass
That's it for now, I'm Soo happy you finally have something you can call home, that is great progress ^^
Little by little you will progress and understand the game, I'm sure of it ^^
Props for sticking with it - also you can make sticks out of planks
You need to first gather wood, craft planks, then a crafting table, use wood to make wooden tools, you need a wooden pickaxe to get stone, use stone to make stone tools, you also need stone to make a furnace, use a furnace to cook food and smelt ores, you'll need coal or charcoal, you can also burn anything wooden. Make charcoal by cooking logs in a furnace with planks. When you get 3 iron you can make a pickaxe, you need an iron pickaxe to mine diamond. You need at least a stone pickaxe to collect ores like iron. And everything you make will require a crafting table besides basic things like planks, torches, and sticks
You are learning! Great content! Love it when you wanted a cave and fell in and the villagers were staring at you! 👍👍👍
Tools will only help with their specific job. For example, using a pickax will not make mining a tree faster. Sword for killing things, Pickax for stones and ores, axe for wood, shovel for dirt sand and gravel, and a hoe for making soil to grow crops. And if you hold something else, it will still use up a lot of duration which will make it break very fast.
Specific tools are required for acquiring certain items...and what the tool is made of makes a difference....you only need a wood pick long enough to get a stone pick....once you have a stone pick you can gather iron....once you have an iron pick you can mine diamonds to then make a diamond pickaxe...with this you can aquire most blocks...
Pickaxes (and other tools/weapons) have a progrerssion. Wood -> Stone -> Iron -> (Gold - not worth it) -> Diamond -> Netherite (but that's made by improving a diamond tool/weapon)
I suggest building a little fenced in area around your house and leading some animals into it using wheat (sheep and cows) or seeds (chickens). You can click on these animals with their respective food and they’ll make babies. This will give you an infinite food source if you keep making more animals, letting them grow up and then culling them.
Don’t forget to add more torches so that enemies do not spawn near your house at night.
drew is cooking , also try mineing by digging either straight down and look for iron, dimaond, gold and more with a wooden pickaxe and take your crafting table and use stone and sticks to make a stone pickaxe to mine easier and find more resources and build bigger houses and go exploring for destroyed nether portals to go to the second area (the nether)
The tall black monsters don't attack unless you look them in the eye. They can teleport and they hate water. If you build your roof 2.5 blocks high using slabs for the roof, they can't spawn inside.
Put torches on your left as you go down/explore caves so you know to follow back out it's 'right to the light'
dont forget to left click jeffrey with a flower to befriend him!
*TIPS*
1. The green bar with number is your exp bar. You will use that exp for making your tools and armor stronger (but first you would need an enchanting table for that)
2. Make a stone pickaxe -> go dig into a cave and gather "iron" ores -> smelt the ores in the furnace to make iron ingots to make more op stuff. The stuff which you can or cannot gather depends on the tools you break it. You can pick up stone with any pickaxe, but getting ores will require stone picaxe or higher (iron, diamond)
3. You can search for a recepie in the book, there is a search bar.
4. After getting iron stuff, go deeper into the ground to find diamond. Diamonds are stronger and more durable.
5. You can make bow with strong (which you get from spiders) and sticks. Arrows are sticks, flint (from gravel blocks) and feathers (from chickens)
6. You can farm: you can use hoe on a ground (right click) close to water and using seeds you can plant your crops (wheat seeds, carrots, potatoes, beets, watermelons, pumpkin)
7. You can make animal farms: you can breed animals, by feeding them their favorite food. Feed two animals that are close to each other: cows and sheeps like wheat, chickens like seeds, pigs like many stuff like carrots or potatoes.
8. You can get wool by using shears on sheep.
9. Going to nether: once you gear up it would be a great progression if you want to see the dragon one day. To go to the nether you will need a portal: at least 10 pieces of obsidian blocks (made by pouring water on lava and digging with diamon picaxe), then punting them in a upright frame shape, after that you will need a flint & steel (flint + iron ingot) to fire up the portal to nether.
10. To make a torch you will need sticks and coal (coal ores are the stone onesies with black spots, or you can make a furnace and make charcoal by smelting wooden LOGS)
etc xD
hello drew. i've come across your minecraft tryout videos and have to say that todays episode was by far the best one for me to watch. you're making good progress at exploring the game and i would love to watch more of you in the future!
6 parts in and he finally figured out the difference between logs and planks.
Though, I am not sure he knows what the wood is. (It's the same as logs but with the bark texture on all sides. Mostly decorative)
Jeffrey never forgets until you trade with the villagers enough to regain you good standing...killing jeffrey is easy but still dangerous if you get it wrong...gain his aggro run a short distance to an open area..."pillar up"(crucial skill where you place blocks underneath you while holding jump) 3 blocks high and attack from the safety of your pillar
you can also shift click things into chests. so click the shift button and the item you want in an open chest, it will pop in. will save you manually moving it. to find way home, open up your F5 and it will give co-ords up top left handside. there are mods that give you a mini map if you wanna set that up too. hope these help
Tool Guide:
1. Sword (kill enemies, animals)
2. Axe (chop wood)
3. Pickaxe (for hard stuff like rocks)
4. Shovel (for soft stuff like sand)
5. Hoe (for farming. U dont need this rn)
Crafting guide
1. Wooden tools (planks + sticks)
2. Stone tools (cobblestone + sticks)
3. Iron tools (iron ingot + sticks)
Block guide (break w/ pickaxe and you get:)
1. Block with black dots > charcoal
2. Block with brown dots > IRON
3.. Block with other colors > ignore for now
How to get IRON INGOT
1. Break block with brown dots = Iron
2. Cook iron in a furnace = IRON INGOT
Where to find blocks
1. Blocks with iron = inside caves
2. Blocks with charcoal = near caves
* You've passed by a lot of these blocks since episode 1
Finally! You're learning! Yay!
