Enjoy Minecraft

Minecraft is an amazing and fun 3D sandbox game. Some people believe that others who play this game are immature or childish, but Minecraft has something for everyone. Whether you're an animal lover; decorator; or survival junkie, you can play to your fullest imagination. So how do we enjoy this game? No need to break down in frustration every time you die or get emotional when your creation has failed. Just read below.

Steps

  1. Be/Feel Creative. Minecraft is a sandbox game in which you can do anything you want to regardless of the version (Classic, Alpha, Beta, Full release).
  2. Get to know the controls. The controls might be difficult to handle for some people, but you can always change them! If you want to look around, you need to move your mouse around. If you wish to destroy blocks, hold left mouse button until the block breaks. To place a block, click the right mouse button. You can interact with some blocks by pressing the right mouse button without a placeable block in your hand.
  3. Have fun any possible way. When you feel bored in Minecraft, you can always explore other caves, install some mods, learn how Redstone works and build to whatever you desire. You could even create hidden corridors, gather even more resources, look for villages and trade with the villagers.
  4. Get some mods and/or texture packs. These can help enhance your experience in Minecraft by changing textures or certain aspects of gameplay. Mods can add dinosaurs, wands, better dungeons, mythical creatures and basically anything to the game. There are even mods for purple dirt!
    • You can find both on the Minecraft forums and Planet Minecraft.
  5. Find your most suitable settings. If you wish to avoid enemies and have the most peaceful experience in Minecraft, you could turn your difficulty to peaceful. If you're not interested in surviving, or you want to test (Redstone) creations before you build it in your survival world, you could always start a creative world.
  6. Play multiplayer. This can give you several new modes of gameplay such as economy and hunger games. You can look on Planet Minecraft or Minecraft-servers for servers to play on.
  7. Play over a LAN. This allows you to play with friends over your own WiFi including if you have mods.
