Sneaking
Sneaking is incredibly useful in Minecraft, it keeps you from falling off of a block and hides your nametag. To sneak, hold.

Nightfall
Before night fall, make sure you have gotten some wool by killing or shearing sheep, because with three wool you can make a bed (Or you can steal a villagers bed) with a bed you can skip night because mobs who want to kill you spawn when it is dark. If you are playing with 2 people then you need to get 2 beds and to skip night you both need to be in bed at the same time.If you don't sleep for 3 nights straight, phantoms, a flying mob that is very powerful start to come.

Nether Portal
A Nether Portal allows you to travel to a different dimension.

If constructed correctly the Nether portal can be lit and activated.

Examples of portal construction are shown here:



Eye Of Ender
Eyes of Ender are mysteriously connected to the End and behave strangely when used.

Rumour has it that they can lead you to open another dimension. When you throw an eye of ender it will go into the direction of a stronghold, when the eye goes straight down it means you have to dig down to find it, in one room of the stronghold(the end portal room) If you fill the out side by placing a eye of ender around the edge and jump in it takes you to the end.
