Your first day, step by step
- Punch a tree. Hold mine on a log until it breaks. Get four or five logs.
- Make planks and sticks. Open the bag: one log in the grid gives four planks; two planks on top of each other give four sticks.
- Build a crafting table from four planks and place it. Right-click it for the bigger 3×3 grid.
- Wooden pickaxe: three planks across the top, two sticks down the middle. Dig some stone and make a stone pickaxe, axe and sword the same way.
- Food: villages have chests with bread, apples and carrots. Meat from animals is much better cooked on a campfire.
- Before sunset: craft torches (coal on top of a stick) and sleep in a bed — it skips the night and becomes your spawn point.

Villages and villagers
Villages sit all over the map: six wooden houses with beds and chests, a well, a campfire and a wheat farm. Each villager has a job and goes home at night. Right-click a villager to trade. Gems are the trading money — you earn them by selling things villagers want.
| Villager | Buys (you get Gems) | Sells (you pay Gems) |
|---|---|---|
| Farmer | 10 wheat → 1 Gem | bread, apples, carrots, seeds |
| Blacksmith | 4 blast powder, 10 coal or 4 iron → 1 Gem | iron pickaxe (3), stone sword (2), torches |
| Librarian | 16 sticks or 6 feathers → 1 Gem | glass, bricks, stone bricks |
| Shepherd | 6 wool or 4 leather → 1 Gem | wool, a chest (2) |
Night creatures
| Creature | What it does | How to deal with it |
|---|---|---|
| Ghoul | Walks after you and hits | Fight with a sword; it burns away at sunrise |
| Boomer | Creeps close, hisses and explodes, breaking blocks | Back away when you hear the hiss, hit it from range |
| Thornling | Throws thorns from a distance | Close in quickly or hide behind blocks |
Peaceful worlds have no night creatures. In Creative you can fly (✈ or F) and every block is free.
