The Minecraft Handbook - Chapter 2


Now, you see the sun coming over the horizon. That means day. To start off the next morning, gather up all the equipment that you put on the floor (remember, this hole is only used for your first night. So you'll have to build/find a new one. Be careful, still. There will still be monsters remaining from last night. MONSTERS THAT YOU MAY FIND AFTER NIGHT: The "creeper" is one. The creeper, if in close contact with you, will run at you and explode. run away before it does. "Spiders" are another creature to stay away from. Spiders will be docile at day time, but they can still attack. Any other monsters will burn in the sun and die, such as zombies and bow-skelos.

To survive this day and later tonight, you will need to make a "cobblestone sword". To make a sword, put a stick below two cobblestones. There is your sword. Cobblestone is found on rock faces (like cole) and anywhere where there is rock. Now that you have a sword, you can fight. Point the curser at your target and click the left mouse button. That will strike the enemy. Keep hitting the enemy until it dies, then collect what it leaves on the ground. Swords will become progressively important as you live. Later in the game, once you get to mining, you will be able to make iron swords, gold swords, diamond swords, and more. You can provide all sorts of protection for yourself.

Finally, let's get to mining, one of the most important things in minecraft. I will skim over the basic instructions of mining (later i will explain this in detail, but for now mining won't be AS important). All you have to do, is dig slowly down, leaving steps for yourself. After digging a while, you may see spotted rock. Dig and collect that rock. The spots mean that it has some kind of mineral in it. Then, check your inventory to see what it is. HINT: It's best to put torches in your mine, so you can see if there's any spotted rock ahead of you.
