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.
