What is Minecraft?

3

Minecraft is a worldwide phenomenon sandbox game that

allows you to dig/mine, build, and craft. Mine, build, and Craft

what? This game has no limitations to what you can do. The

only limitation to what you can build is your imagination. You

will be playing in a large world of many terrains and no border

limit. This game can be played multiplayer online with other

people or as a single player game. Basically your first job when

you start your game is to punch down wood and use that wood

to craft tools and 2weapons and you also have to use the wood

to create shelter and so on. One day in Minecraft is equal to 10-

20 minutes.

How to play?

What you’re supposed to do from the start of the game is

to gather wood and use them to create tools and also to make

shelter before night time. Because during night time monsters

start to appear and you would be protected inside your house.

As Minecraft days pass by you will improve your shelter to

anyhow you want it to be, and go exploring caves while mining

for minerals, ores to create better tools, building blocks or

weapons. There’s actually no end game here. There is no

mission; you can do whatever you want.

Basic Shelter designs

7

In this game one of the most important aspects is building a house

or shelter. At night time monsters will roam around and you will have to

create a shelter to protect yourself from them. So these are some of the

following shelters that are effective in different situations:

Emergency Shelter:

B= any block

N= None

D= Door.

“This shelter

is only

used in

emergency cases such as when you’re lost and its night time; it’s only

one space for you to be inside. This is more of a temporary base.”

Underground Shelter:

“This is a very efficient way to build a safe house and a safe place

to keep your stuff. During night time no monsters can come to you and

you are safe until morning. It’s also good for online because it would be

harder for people who wants to destroy your house to find your house in

the first place.”
