The Minecraft Handbook.- Chapter 1


Surviving your first night.

To start off, one of the main ingredients that you need to survive, is "cole". Cole is one of the most common resouces (actually, it really depends on what world you're in - but "normally" cole is found very often). Cole makes up approximately 1% of all material in Minecraft. It is most often found on rock faces and in small caves. Cole also comes in packs. When you find one block of cole, there are usually more in that area.
Another necessity is "wood" (wood is a go-to. Get wood before anything else). Wood unlocks the first secret of cole, "torches". Torches are a crucial part of life. Since there are no lightbulbs, torches are the best source of light (for now).

HOW TO MAKE TORCHES:

1. You will need sticks. Make sticks by first putting a piece of stump in the work space (select E or I to open), then you will get "wooden planks". Put the planks in the work space - then you will get sticks.

2. Put 1 stick in the work space, then put a piece of cole above it. Now you have a torch. You will gain 4 torches from one stick and one cole.

There you have it. Torches. Now, where do you use your torches? In a house, of course.
Now you have to find a hole in rock or dirt. Then you can block it off with the rest of the planks you collected (collect 11 trunk-parts at the start of your adventure, so you have enough to block out a hole and make torches). Once you find a hole, you can cut a window in your blocked-off space, by smashing one of the wood blocks in the middle. ANOTHER IMPORTANT WOOD DEVICE: take four blocks of wood and make a square. You will get what is called a "crafting bench". Place this device on the floor in one of the corners of your little hole. A crafting bench gives you more space to craft things (which will soon be important). Now you can FINALLY survive the night.

HINT: One way of telling what time it is, is to look at the sun.
