Seeds
Minecraft uses a Seed to determine how it'll generate the world. For this tutorial, I'm using the seed -1779010182674463741. To set this, press on Seed in the create new world menu, and type the seed. Leave structures on and terrain at default, and generate your world.

Spawning
When you first spawn in your Minecraft world, you may be surprised at what you see. You may drop into a peaceful Forest with Sheep baahing all around you; Or you may find yourself in a snowy Taiga with a lot of trees. Depending on your spawn, your tactics will be different. It is recommended that you generate multiple worlds until you get one where you spawn in a Forest or Taiga biome, as these are abundant in trees of Oak and Birch Trees.

But no matter what environment you spawn in, your goals are the same. This is why you want to start out in a Forest or Taiga biome the first time you play the game: You need Trees. Specifically, you need Wood. To start getting wood, you just walk up to a tree and start punching the wood. This is completely unrealistic, but it's the way you start. Punch wood until you have at least 30 (or until noon.)

Crafting Table
The next step is to make a Crafting Table. To craft a crafting table requires 4 Wooden Planks, which are crafted by opening your crafting menu, selecting the correct type of Wooden Plank in your crafting menu, and pressing. Now select the Crafting Table and press. Now you have your very first Crafting Table!


 * -Note: Only convert Wood to Planks as needed; Don't convert all of your Wood!  You need logs to smelt into Charcoal.

These are the recipes for Wooden Planks and the Crafting Table, respectively:

Your Crafting Table gives you a 3x3 Crafting Grid with much more choices, as seen in the recipe templates. The Crafting Table, Torches, Flint and Steel, and a few other items can be crafted in the 2x2 grid, but the rest of everything in Minecraft is crafted on the 3x3 grid.

The First Tools
To get situated for your first night, you need some basic tools. The tools you will need are a Pickaxe, a Shovel, and a Sword. They are on a different tab, so you must press to get to the tools. There are a few more tools, but the ones listed are the starting tools.

The Recipies
Sticks

Wooden Pickaxe

Wooden Shovel

Wooden Sword
