How Minecraft Works

Hey, 

I realize that some people reading these posts may not know how Minecraft fully works. In this blog post I'll explain how Minecraft fully works. 

Basically what you do in Minecraft is building. There are endless amounts of materials that you can build with. The main tool that you use is a crafting table. 

This is how you make a Crafting table. 

To get the wood to build a crafting table, you pretty much just go up to a tree and punch it until it breaks. 

There are numerous amounts of tools/weapons that you can build too with the crafting table. There are pickaxes, axes, swords, bow and arrows, hoes, shovels, sheers (big scissors), and flint and steel. You can also choose how you want to make these tools/weapons. You can make them out of wood, cobblestone, iron, gold and diamond which is very rare to find. To find these materials you have to dig in the ground. Each of the materials have a certain level in the ground that they usually spawn. Once you find the material that you want to use you get a pickaxe and mine it. When you've mined it you get a crafting table and make sticks for the handle of the tool/weapon. 

That's how you make sticks. 

Once you've made the sticks, you're ready to make your tool/weapon. Here's an example of how you make of a diamond sword. 

Once you've gotten the basics of how to mine materials and craft items it gets really easy to make really cool things. 

Here are some example of what you can make when you get really good at building.

I hope this helped whoever was wondering about the basics of Minecraft. I will update soon about the progress of my Passion Project. 

Finished October

Hey,

Man I haven't posted in a long time but I've gotten a lot done since my last post. I've gotten 14 achievements done. There are 30 in total so at this point I'm ahead of what I should be. I've also completely finished my house. Inside my house I've made a huge open living room area. When you go to the right there is a hallway with two doors. In one there is my chest room with all my resources that I've organized to find things easily. Then in the other door I have my bedroom with a huge window that looks at Kyle's house across from me. This is a view from the outside of the house. 

I've also gotten quite a bit of diamonds to make some tools with. I don't have enough diamonds to make diamond armour but I will still look for more to make some diamond armour. I've made a big garden that has lots of wheat, pumpkins, and watermelons. 

Kyle and I have also made a animal farm with chickens, sheep, cows, and pigs. 

At this point I feel like I've gotten lots done and me and Kyle seem to be ahead of what we thought we'd be at this point. I think that we'll be able to finish the game by the end of January.
