Minecraft Survival Guide

Survival guide by : Steve

Based on the real story when I first played Minecraft PE Survival

     Imagine you created a survival world, you don't even know anything about Minecraft, what you need to do is SURVIVE, you are stuck. This is what you do I order to survive the world.

Spawning:

     You spawned In A random place, doesn't have a clue about where you are, everything around you if blocky, you saw some trees, dirt blocks and started mining. But you’re confused, wondering: how do I play this game, this is complicated…

   

     The first thing after you spawn is to look around the environment and tell what kind of biome you’re in(desert, jungle, forest, Mesa) you can tell by the surrounding such as overall look, trees, water and blocks. After you know where you are, you have to get WOOD, which is the most essential material you should get when you spawn, but you have to do it quick, there's only ten minutes of daylight, the it's nighttime. 

Materials:

     You randomly punched some wood, looked around the biome, but you have no idea what to do after getting wood, you pressed the inventory tab, saw some wood and dirt block, then you clicked the crafting tab, all the options came up, you thought: wow, there's so many things you can press, what do I press?

     After getting wood, you go to your crafting, there's an option called wood plank, you can aquire 4 by getting 1 wood, wood plank is also a really important material for building and crafting. After you acquired wood plank, you have to making a crafting table, that's where all the crafting come from.

Shelter:

     Wow, so many options, which one do I choose? You wondered. Then you are stuck. You looked up at the sun, it's slowly moving, the first thing that came to your mind is, the time is ticking and the night is coming. Even if you don't know about mobs and darkness, you have to take shelter…

     How do you survive your first night in Minecraft PE, shelter, is the most important part of Minecraft survival. First night shelter is about life and death, the next few step you are about to do have to be done fast, each daylight is ten minutes, then it's nighttime. If you don't know wondering around in Minecraft Survival night, it's dangerous because of the deadly mobs,darkness and you might get lost. To survive your night quickly, you need bed, which you need wools, to get wools, you have to get sheeps. Finding sheeps is not hard in your world, all you need is three sheep in order to make a bed, once you find a sheep, tap on it quickly and strike fast because passive mobs will run away from you if you hit them. When you get wools, go to your crafting table and craft a bed. If you have a bed, the next thing you have to do is build a shelter, you can build a shelter out of anything such as dirt or Woodrow find a cave. If you want to build It out of wood, you need to chop down more trees. Once you found a place to build, build fast, do not worry about how it looks, just build a cube house with a door, so you can be safe. Now you got wools and plenty of wood planks, you can craft a bed and place it everywhere within your house, you can also craft a chest if you want to store your stuff. Now, when night comes, tap your bed and sleep, you'll be fine.

Stone Age:

   Whew, that was your first day at survival. At the dawn of the second day, you wondered in your house, admiring what you have built, when you stepped outside, you saw some leftover mobs burning in the sunlight. You started looking at your crafting table, you saw a blue sword called diamond sword, that must be powerful, you need to craft it with diamond, but how do you get them.

   When you finish your first day in survival, the second day, you go mining. First, craft a wooden pickaxe so you can mine stone, then you can find a place to mine. You can either go to a cave or dig randomly from where you are, if you are finding a cave, make sure you return home before night. After you found a place to mine, dig down until you see stone, then grab your pickaxe and mine about twenty stone. If you have enough stone, you can go to your house and craft some items. The first thing you'll need is a furnace, the furnace can help you smelt ores which you'll need for later, it can also cook food so you can eat them. Other things that you have to craft is the stone tools, they are much better than the wooden one, you’ll need a pickaxe and a shovel for mining, axe for chopping wood, a sword for killing, you don’t need a hoe for now. After you done all these things, you can chop down some trees and get ready for tomorrow.

Mining: 

   Now you have stone tools, but what should I do after that? Killing mobs? Exploring? Chopping trees?

   You can do all these things if you want, but I recommend you to mine some ores. Mining is where it gets boring, but if you are patient and did well on it, you Minecraft survival world will be success. You have 2 options to mine, you can either dig under the ground or find a nearby cave, I suggest you mine in a cave because you are likely to get more ores if you mine in a cave. What you need to bring to is a sword, pickaxe, shovel, foods, torches and a lot of empty slots. Then you start mining. There are many different ores, coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, emerald and lapis lazuli. The ores you need are coal and iron, coal is black and iron ore is light brown. When you go to a cave, place torches wherever you go so you can see what you're mining, mining can take time, you can get many different kind of ores when you mine, when you think you have enough minerals, you can find your way back home. When you go home, smelt your irons with the coal you mined. You can craft a iron sword and a pickaxe or other iron tools, then you can go back to mining if you want.

Food and Agriculture:

   I know how to mine, survive and kill, but my health is low, I need to eat some food.

   In older version of PE, food doesn't matter, but if you want to find food, there's various ways to do it. You can get apples from punching leafs, you can kill passive mob and and meat, the best way you can get food is from village chests, you can get food such as bread and apple in a chest. The other way you can acquire food is farming, you can find a farm in a village. If you couldn't  find any village, this is how you farm. First, craft a hoe of any kind, secondly, hit the ground with your hoe, you could get seeds by doing that, and seed is how you farm, then, find a place you want to farm,hit the ground with your hoe. It's better to have a farm near water so you need any water bucket. Once you hoed the ground, tap the seed to the hoed place, you have to make sure there's water around it so the seed will grow. It takes time to grow, if it finished,you can harvest and keep farming.

Advanced:

   Now you know what to do and what's the point of Minecraft, you mined, killed some mobs, farmed and explored. You got plenty of resources, just as you thought you MC Life is over now, or you want to start a new world, but you think there’s a lot more things you can do other than basic survival.

   Yes, there are a lot of things you can do, after getting abundance of materials, you can rebuild your old house to a new, big house with a nice little farm attached to it. You can also build railways all over your world if you have a lot of irons. Exploring and continuous mining is also a good idea, you might even find diamonds or a new biome. Now your survival is more interesting and you know everything you learned, now share it to your friend about it so your friend may also know the right way to survive.
