Sprinting while in water makes you swim. Use the mouse to control the direction in which you are swimming.

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.

The End

Eye Of Ender

Eyes of ender are mysteriously connected to the End and behave strangely when used.

They can lead you to open another dimension. When you throw an eye of ender it flies in the direction of a stronghold; when the eye goes straight down it means you have to dig down to find it. One room of the stronghold is the end portal room. In this room, if you fill in the missing eyes of ender around the portal frame, the portal activates, after which you can jump into the portal to travel to the End.
