Minecraft

Modes

Creative: Creative is a mode where you have access to every block in the game and with those blocks you can build awesome things. In Creative it is impossible for you to die.

 

Survival: Survival is a mode where you have to survive. You have to cook food to eat or else you will die and build a house so hostile mobs like creepers, skeletons, zombies and so many more, don’t kill you. To cook food you need to put coal and food in a furnace and put a bed down and sleep in it so if you die you will respawn beside your bed. 

 

Adventure: Adventure is a mode that most minecraft maps want you to play on because you can’t break or place blocks unless the item says what you can place it on or what block you can break.

 

Hardcore: Hardcore is  the same as Survival but it is set to Hard and if you die the world gets deleted.

 

Dimensions

Overworld: The Overworld is the world you spawn in when you create a world. It is full of grass, lakes, oceans, ponds, and caves. It is where you do most of your things like mining, exploring and building. All regular non-hostile mobs live there.

Nether: The Nether is a dangerous place full of blazes, ghasts and wither skeletons. You can find Nether Fortresses with blaze spawners and chests. All the blocks that are in the Nether are Netherrack, Soulsand, Nether Quartz Ore, Gravel, Nether Bricks and a ton of lava (Nether Quartz Ore gets you a lot of XP).

End:The End is probably the most dangerous world. It has enderman everywhere if you look into an enderman’s eyes he will start attacking you  and the boss, the Ender Dragon the strongest mob in the game.

 

End City: The End City is technically part of the End. But there is a little portal in the End that you throw an ender pearl into and it teleports you to the End City which is full of towers with chests in them and in one of the towers there is the only Minecraft flying device. It is the Elytra!

Caves: Caves aren’t really a world they are still in the Overworld just underground. They have a lot of iron and coal. But lapis gold and diamonds are a lot more rare. Emeralds are the rarest ore in Minecraft they can only be found in the extreme hill biomes. Caves also have a ton of mobs like creepers, skeletons, zombies, spiders and cave spiders. You can also find dungeons and mineshafts. (Tip: if you are looking for diamonds mine on Y level 11).

 

 Bosses

Wither:The wither is a boss because he is insanely hard to kill. He has two stages, the first one he flies around and shoots wither heads around that give you the wither effect and it is really annoying and you have to shoot him with your bow. When you get him to half health he gets a shield and you can’t hit him with your bow so he comes closer to the ground you have to hit him with your sword.  Once you kill him he will drop a Nether Star that can be used to craft a beacon.

Ender Dragon: The Ender Dragon is the strongest mob in the game. To fight him you have to find the stronghold and fill in the End Portal holes with eyes of Ender jump in the portal and you will be teleported to the End. First you have to climb all the towers and destroy all the end crystals that the Ender Dragon uses to regenerate. After they are all destroyed you can go to a little bedrock place where he goes every few seconds and you can hit him with your sword. When you kill him on the bedrok thing there will be a dragon egg. You have to push it with a piston or put a torch with a block in between the torch and the dragon egg then break the block and then you will get the egg. Then jump into the portal near the bedrock thing and you have beat Minecraft!

Enchanting

To enchant items you first need an enchanting table, you can craft it by using 4 pieces of obsidian, 2 diamonds and 1 book. Enchanting Can make your gear stronger and your tools break blocks faster. All you have to do is get an enchantment table, put lapis lazuli in one spot and the armor piece or tool in the other and it will show you three different enchants that you can choose from. Each one costs different amounts of lapis and xp. Put bookshelves around the enchantment table to get better enchants.

 

Potions

3 pieces of cobblestone and 1 blaze rod. Potions give you effects like Jump Boost, Strength, Regeneration and so many more! To make a potion you have to get a brewing stand, open it.

Next you put an iron ingot, gold ingot, diamond or an emerald in it and then choose an effect, either speed, strength, jump boost , haste (which makes you mine faster) or resistance (which makes things that damage you not damage you as much). You will have these effects until you get far away from the beacon.
