Legacy Console Edition tutorial



Xbox 360 Tutorial Mode is a short walk through of Minecraft's basic mechanics. It allows newcomers to familiarize themselves with the game, primarily with the controls and the crafting system. Found only in the Xbox 360 Edition, the tutorial takes place in a flat area, with trees in small clusters around the side. It will not let you leave the enclosed area until finishing or canceling the tutorial, though the player may do whatever they want within the inclosed area.

Concepts covered
The tutorial walks the player through:


 * Chopping wood


 * Game controls


 * Creating planks and a crafting table


 * Inventory use


 * Creating basic tools


 * Using a furnace


 * Building a shelter


 * Surviving the night

Other tutorials for items such as beds, Nether portals, boats, pistons, and fishing rods will pop up, but are not part of the main tutorial.

Tutorial area



 * The tutorial area is a flat plain with sparsely growing grass and flowers. There is a lake, with a chest containing 17 fishing rods next to it. There is also a river with a chest next to it, with 9 boats in it.
 * A pond lined with sand can be found in the field. Near this pond is a cobblestone wall with a furnace next to it. (As of the July update, this had been replaced with a redstone/piston demonstration area) Opposite this is an incomplete miner's shelter which you are tasked to complete during the tutorial. This shelter is surrounded by gravel, which has a path leading to the exit, which you can only pass through if you have either completed or cancelled the tutorial. Through this exit is a village.
 * The village contains many chests, buildings, a blacksmith with furnaces, a well, and a mine. It also has sugarcane and one cactus near the waterside of the village.
 * On the northern side of this village is a minecart and track leading to a large castle containing a church/throne room, secret basement, and docks. The castle also contains glowstone blocks.
 * West of this village is a snowy mountain with a lot of resources and mine shafts leading to caves.
 * West of the starting area is another small village with a barn, houses, and a growing area for wheat.
 * To the north of this village is a lighthouse containing Netherrack as the beacon.
 * If you climb up to the Minecraft sign in the sky, you will find it's made of different colored wool blocks and some torches. With the addition of pistons, by activating a lever on either one of the sides of large sign, you will find a portal to the Nether right inside the middle of the sign.
 * If you go to the top of the tower in the castle at night you should be able to see a tunnel glowing under the water. (note that you are most likely going to have to enter the tunnel in this fasion) You are going to want to jump off the tower and land perfectly in the tunnel (otherwise you might drown), sink to the bottom and continue down the tunnel you should find a chest containing a full set of diamond armor and a full set of diamond tools with an additional diamond pick. You are probably going to have to dig your way back up (peaceful mode recommended) Directions: Go to the right of the castle in the water, and stay along the edge. Keep straight. You'll notice a hole, get a full breath and go down. The glowstone in the tunnel is what causes the glow. You have just enough air to get there without dying. Escape directions: When you enter the tunnel block off the entrance with a few blocks of soil or whatever. Then when you have collected the loot you go back and build straight up, when you are ready you break the blocks and should have enough air to swim to the surface. Or, you can break the blocks beneath the chest to uncover a cave. In the cave is several diamonds. you may find a monster spawner.

Secrets

 * There are many secret hidden structures, such as random "caves" with torches all around the walls and hidden villages. One such cave is located directly below the floor of the library in the castle; revealed by digging through two wooden planks. Digging through the wall reveals random redstone placement.
 * Dungeons can be found in the world. Although the player must manually search for them, one of the dungeons has a gravel "x" in which if they dig down from the center they will fall into. Continuing to dig downwards will eventually reveal a small X tunnel with 8 exposed diamond ores.
 * Like the original PC version of Minecraft, the Xbox 360 Tutorial Mode world has four layers of bedrock; however, worlds generated in the Xbox 360 Edition only have two layers.
 * In the biggest house of the first village, one of the floor blocks should hide a ladder down into the ocean.
 * Hidden in the Minecraft Logo is a portal to the Nether.
 * By the lighthouse there is a perfect square. Get some glowstone and go in it place some glowstone and you will be in dungeon.

History
In the upcoming 1.8.2 update, Tutorial mode's current secrets will be removed and new ones added. There will be 12 chests to find.
