Thanks for not putting background annoying music and your voice is so pleasing..💕

@HugeCoffeeAddict

This is what I needed.  I was trying to kill mobs with a stick, then after I died and lost my stuff, I tried to use a cactus.  That didn't work very well.

@marquittabryant4632

Thanks so much.  I bought the game for my daughter, but she never played bc she didn't know how. Now, she just built her first weapon.  This was super helpful.  She was doing things as you were explaining.  We appreciate it!!

@AlfredoGarcia-zj4sm

Thank you so much for using beginners instead of noobs❤

@spiegelbild90

Thank you so so much! I tried to play Minecraft with a group of friends that have played for years, and was getting frustrated. This was such a well-organized, easy to understand tutorial that actually made me eager to jump  into the game again! <3

I've been playing this game for 7 years and I need a beginner's guide

@ratracecycles

This is the video that started it all off... my 7-year-old son and I are about 12 videos in to the  "Back to Basics" series, we downloaded Minecraft at the weekend and the series that started with this video taught us how to get started.
Of course, he's 7, so being killed by a skeleton really upset him when night came but that meant we had to talk about it, how that's part of this game, that's part of gaming in general. I realised that the mouselook / WSAD that's automatic to me still needs to be learned when you're 7 years old, that you'll spend a fair bit of time staring at the floor or the ceiling or the sky while thinking you're running away from monsters and having to look at the keys that mean you can move... but he's picking it up really well.
Just a last note, from a Londoner, he (aged 7) said he liked watching these videos even when not a lot seems to happen, because "@capp00 has a kind voice", which has inspired him a lot to trust and learn from you. Thank you. :)

@HentusSkyus

Hey brother, very VERY helpful video. My son was playing this on my tablet (he's only 4) and neither of us could figure shit out lol. But this is a GREAT beginners guide and we appreciate it. Playing together now. Thanks!

*watches*
“Oh cool” 
*gets minecraft*
“How do you make a stove again?”
*watches again*
“OHHH OK”

edit: stop.

@bounty_man4078

No matter how many years we've been playing this game we still need the beginners guide lol

@wyguy91

Only true gamers know the pain of your wood box house getting blown up by a creeper

@momanddadplusus

My son is six years old and just got into playing this game. Unfortunately we watched 4 to 6 other “beginner” videos before finding yours. Yours was by far the best and explained everything perfectly. Thanks for helping us beginners out!! 👍

Chop down 2 trees and create a crafting table and a wooden pick axe, then fully break the pick axe by getting almost a stack of wood and some coal if you find any, then get a full set and backup set with the sticks and stone you got, get food and start a farm next to a river near your spawn point, get sheep while you hunt and chop more trees for more wood and use a pick axe to make a hole in a hill for a first day base, sleep through the night, repeat until you have leather armor from cows and horses. With all of your resources go mining and get iron so u can make iron set of armor and tools, do this until you have other stuff, travel while doing this and raid villages. Once you get diamonds make a diamond pick axe and get obsidian and go to the nether and get your potion ingredients and more, go back to the main world and get potions and get more diamonds until you have a full set, now it might sound crazy but this should be the only part where you stay up for a Minecraft night, hunt down a bunch of mobs so you can increase resources. Make everything you need to do the enter dragon such as potions, bow, enchantments and what not. Noe kill the render dragon and realize you completed Minecraft in 2 hours.

@acorngirl

I went through like 5 beginner videos before finding this one that was actually useful to me. And thank you for talking at a normal person speed

@koko6600

thanks man i dont personally play this game but my 6y daughter is, so your tutorial really helped me a lot.

@jazziescott88

@petertone1616

My kid just got this. Having missed the whole minecraft thing I just didnt get it, but, having watched him playing, we now play together and loving building and exploring!
