Talk:Tutorials/Archive 1

Would it be possible for anyone to put up an island survival guide? With hardcore mode it's becoming increasingly popular so I think it'd be useful if someone could put one up? -anon-

I'm glad to see a tutorial, but I think we need some way of navigating to the Tutorials page from the Main page for new players. I'm just unsure how to style it to fit the main page format. --JellyfishGreen 13:15, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
 * How about a link on the main page going to http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Category:Guides ? We just need to create a png for the guides & tutorials icon, maybe a book or something.. DannyF1966 10:47, 6 October 2010

Starting guides
I've merged all the starting type guides into one main guide. It's silly having duplicate information like this. --Monotonehell 06:08, 18 November 2010 (CST)
 * Guides are written by individuals, and as such have unique language and direction. You cannot claim that one guide is best for everyone. Please leave these alone unless you would like to add your own. MrMatthew 21:35, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I have not "added my own". The articles were not deleted. All the information has been merged into one article. It's not sensible to have multiple articles all discussing the same thing. That's confusing for readers. This is a wiki, we should not have vanity articles. It's a collaborative effort not the work of an individual. If you feel that something has been missed please add it to the generic article. --Monotonehell 04:57, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Measuring Distance
I don't think Measuring Distance is a tutorial. Should we remove it from this page? 20:37, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

It is in my opinion. Calinou 13:05, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

I personally think it isn't that much of a tutorial but is significant enough to remain on this page. Djc1999 03:20, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Lock this page?
this is just getting annoying now--Tinaun 20:50, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

The page is no longer getting vandalized. C ali nou - talk × contribs » 21:12, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

not enough information
Nowhere does it tell you how to eat (that I can find in the tutorials), nor is there any explanation of the new green bar under the health and hunger bars (v. 1.8). A lot of basic information is missing from the tutorials, or if present, is not easily found.

Don't like 1.8, btw. Some of the changes (like the bottom level fog) have ruined what used to be an interesting game experience. Would gladly return to 1.7 if that were possible.
 * i sort of agree, i liked most of the features in 1.7.3 better, 1.8 is not that good remember, sign your comments people! El_Barto_227, The Half-Creeper! 04:39, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, the green bar is your exp. bar, you spend that on enchanting, and you just use the food if your hunger bar is low to eat! -Epicrcf/epic

"The Days after third" tutorial
it would be good if there were tutorials about days after the third day, since players sometimes get confused and can't win the game (can't get to The End) It would be good to see what you can do after the first day.222.111.114.110 08:49, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't win the game in Minecraft. What third day? It's the same thing as all the other days. You just have more things each additional day, so you will be able to do more things. There are so many possibilities. Just go wherever the game leads you. And read up on the pages to find out about them. But we could have a tutorial on the fastest time it takes from the first day to get to the End and read the poem and finish that adventure. - Asterick6 09:42, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think that there should be a tutorial for every single little thing to do every day in the game, because then some players might think that they have no freedom to do whatever they like. ~User:Lolacool

NaNdummy 18:11, 18 November 2011 (UTC)I created one for enderdragon defeating. Tutorials/Finish_Adventure I might create 4th,5th,6th,7th,8th,9th,and 10th.

Finish_Adventure
PLZ ADD THIS SITE!!!! Tutorials/Finish Adventure!!!!!!!!! NaNdummy 07:00, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Adding your own tutorial
How would one go on about making their own tutorial? For instance, I noticed that there is no tutorial on how to farm Music Discs, and I'd be glad to make one myself. The thing is, it that allowed? Can one simply create a new tutorial subpage, write it, and then link to it on this article? Do we need special permissions? Can only certain users do it? Espyo 14:59, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, any registered user can create a page, at least once they're in the 'autoconfirmed' group (which you should be by now). Name it something like 'Tutorials/Music Disc Farming', and put a link on this page next to the other ones on mob farming. -- Orthotope 15:35, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
 * To clarify, write a high-quality, clearly written, non-trivial guide. It must be in the 'Tutorials/' namespace. -- Orthotope 17:49, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

dungeon, stronghold and mineshaft finder
This topic is a good way to find a stronghold without an eye of enderor mods,though this is a glitch and Mojang may remove it.

how to make it
to make this you should get a shovel,sticky pistons, redstone, tnt, and a lever.

1. dig a 1x3 hole that is 2 blocks deep.

2. place two sticky pistons at one side of th e hole (facing the other side of the hole)the sw

3. place tnt in front of these pistons.

4. place the lever like this. lb                                                         ____  b__      b=block l=lever note:you need to line up the lever with the last part of the hole that is unfilled

wire it up to the pistons. WARNING DO NOT MAKE THE TNT COME IN ANY CONTACT WITH REDSTONE!

5. stand in the hole and turn on the lever, notice that the tnt will be pushed in to you and it will look like the x-ray mod, but without the ores. this is very useful. note: only use tnt. to get out, just jump once. you can locate all the stuff in the title.
