How to play

How to play is a guide designed to help new and old players to Minecraft. It has many different parts and sections to it. It is located at the Settings menu, under General.

Tools
A few basic items that every player should have on their first day are plenty of wood, a bed, food, some cobblestone, and a set of wooden or stone tools (feel free to mix and match). A furnace is also heavily recommended, as it allows meat to be cooked, and coal will come in handy for cheap, efficient fuel. Instead of mining coal, logs can be smelted in a furnace to create charcoal. Both coal and charcoal smelt eight items in a furnace, and can be combined with sticks to make torches.
