WIP. Half written.

Ingame progress
Welcome back! Your game is probably paused because of the previous tutorial, Welcome and Setup.

So, ok. You've created a world. Whether it's a survival world, where you fight monsters, in hope of surviving. Or a creative world, where monsters just stand there, and you build massive structures, like castles.

This hotel of tutorials will mostly cover survival mode. Creative mode is only covered in this guide.

So, this is Minecraft?
Before you hit Escape, or return to game, to start playing, you can see the game is mostly made of 1x1 cubes. Yes, everything is made of cubes, rectangles, or square sheets, or this "Strange world".

These all represent metre cubes. Even though you could fit TEN flowers (or more) into a cubic metre of space on a squre metre of dirt, you can only fit one thing in a "invisible cube".

In this world, the seasons never change, nor does the humidity, and heat. This includes draining an ocean using sand, or pouring liquid rock in a land of ice and snow. These are called biomes.

Lets dig, place, use and kill!
Digging and killing are done by the left mouse button. Placing and using, on the other hand are done by the right mouse button.

To dig, you don't repeatedly click a block. You need to hold down the left mouse button, until the cracks get to the outside of the cube, and this cube, called a "block" cracks, and drops an smaller, floating version of it. You pick up these small, floating, and spinning cubes by walking onto, or near them. These have the same use as the big ones, but they are not solid before you place them.

To kill, you need to repeatedly click them with you hand, item, or sword. To charge a bow, do them same thing you would to use something. A word of caution: Don't randomly kill other players, unless you're in a competition, or they've done something bad like killing you. Sometimes killing isn't even allowed. Only kill them when you're in a more powerful, or equal position, such as you having a sword, and they only having their hand. You're also going to need a reason to kill them, some reasons are they having some resources you want. For now, keep to yourself, and we'll discuss this later.

Placing! To place, you click the right mouse button. Don't hold it unless you want to place a lot of blocks. Oh, if you're on a slow computer with a low fps, you might end up placing two, or more blocks, when you only meant to place one. In that case, turn off the fancy eyecandy and set your computer to high performance. If your computer is still slow, wait for a new computer.

Want to use something? To use, you don't click the right mouse button fast. You need to hold it until the item stops shaking and disappears, or changes. You might want to know what the item DOES before eating, drinking, or using it. Examples, poising yourself, setting a forest, or your house on fire, or blowing up your best friend's house. Some items don't shake, and act immediately. Oh, some items are good to use, like food.

Inventory
Impatient? Hit ESCAPE, then E. This is you inventory (Achievement Get: Taking Inventory, [Awesome!]) At the top left corner of the white box, you will see four slots. They will have the outlines of a head, a muscular, and fat chest, legs, and stylish shoes. The outlines mean you don't have them :(, but don't worry, you don't need them yet. These are for when it gets hard and you really need that protection they give you, or the fashion they show.

Going right, you will see what you look like to other players, your head follows your mouse.

Going even right, there is a 2*2 square. This is where you craft. You can only craft 2*2 recipes, or shapeless 4 item recipes. You get the result at the other side of the arrow.

Going down there is a 3*9 inventory. This is everything you carry, like your backpack. You can move items anywhere else in your inventory. Be careful if you don't place it in a square, you will throw it away!

Going down further, you will find a 1*9

Oh, did I mention the Q key? Pressing it will cause you to throw the item you are holding, or hovering over away. Pressing Ctrl+Q will throw up to 64 items away, 64 items is called a stack, with the exception of a few special items.

Elevator
Ding! The elevator is here!
