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.

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 castle.

 * In the castle behind the tutorial which engages into the cliff wall there is a corridor where you can hear the sound of the Nether. In the ceiling should be a lever to open a piston door to expose the Nether portal.
 * The hill where the large fortress is built is joined to a second hill. Deep under this second hill is a massive stronghold connected to caverns that lead to the large canyon. It is possible to access it from the canyon, but requires quite a bit of work. The stronghold contains at least 3 chests. One in the upper chamber, and two deep below in the library.

1.7.3 secrets

 * There were many secret hidden structures, such as random "caves" with torches all around the walls and hidden villages. One such cave was located directly below the floor of the library in the castle; revealed by digging through two wooden planks. Digging through the wall revealed random redstone placement.
 * Dungeons could be found in the world. Although the player must manually search for them, one of the dungeons had a gravel "x" in which if they dug down from the center they would fall into. Continuing to dig downwards would 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, other worlds generated in the Xbox 360 Edition only have two layers.
 * In the biggest house of the first village, one of the floor blocks hid a ladder down into the ocean.
 * Hidden in the Minecraft logo was a portal to the Nether.
 * By the lighthouse, there was a dungeon.
 * Beside the castle, underwater, there was a 2x2 hole with glowstone lighting the inside that lead downward to a large chest containing all possible diamond tools and armor.
