Intro, and Login
Hello, and welcome to MINECRAFT5025'S Tutorials! Thank you for taking the time today to read this.

The first thing you'll want to do is open Minecraft. Oh, if you haven't downloaded it yet, what are you waiting for? link Download it now!

Don't know how to open it? Double click the minecraft.jar or minecraft.exe or whatever you renamed it.

The next thing you'll want to do is to enter your username and password, and hit login.

Haven't registered Minecraft yet? What are you doing here? Go register now!: Register

Main Menu and Options
After it's done loading, you will see four buttons. Singleplayer, Multiplayer, Options, Quit game

You can take a break from playing, by clicking quit game, or you can leave the game running, but that is a bad thing to do. (1. Your computer will overheat 2. If you're logged into multiplayer, you will hog a spot, not letting other people join.)

If you're picky, and want to customize anything, click options. Go back out by clicking done. Be careful not to set things too high that your computer can't stand. Balance about 40 fps or more with top-computers 30 fps for old computers 20 for laptops. 10, 5, or even 3 or 1 for that computer lying the storage for 10 years.

A thing about sound. Don't set it at 100 for long, unless the speakers are at the other side of the room. If a creeper, tnt, or something scary comes, your ears could become deaf.

Create a World
Most people start with singleplayer, because multiplayer is very complicated.

From here, we'll cover singleplayer. We'll talk about multiplayer later.

Click "singleplayer", click "create a world", and name it whatever you like. If you've failed 10 times at a world, go into "more world options", and enable cheats, but this will COMPLETELY SPOIL your Minecraft experience.

Click "Create a world". When it's done generating, hit ESCAPE.

Pause Menu
This is the game menu. You can click "Save and Quit to Title"

About achievements and stats. Yes, it is nice to have an "Achievement Get!" at the corner of the game, but they limit what you do. They ARE a trail for you to follow, but this guide will help you more, because you know little enough of Minecraft, to be coming here.

Don't click "Open to LAN yet". The first reason is that you can hit escape to pause, and prepare yourself when something comes, and the game won't pause with it on. The second reason, is that unless you're with you very experienced, and helpful brother, or sister, someone who's mean, and sitting next to you at the Internet Cafe would mess everything up.

Well, that's it! Fast, wasn't it? Head over to the next part.

Elevator
Done? The elevator is here!
