First of all, think about shelter — this is the most important thing because when night falls, scary monsters will come out to hunt, and they don't care that it's Steve's first day in the game. While the player can run away from spiders, skeletons with bows can definitely turn square butt into a pincushion, and the Creeper... That thing explodes so violently that square face will become round.

Once safe shelter is ready and you have food in the pockets, it's time to move on to the main task — crafting. At the heart of the game's most important mechanic is the crafting table, and you'll be spending a lot of time with it. In this guide, I will explain how to start crafting, how to make this wonderful table, and what you'll need for it.

You'll need planks, and Steve, with his mighty cubic hands, can carve them out of wood. Open the inventory with the "E" key and you'll see not only a modest set of items but also a grid for primitive crafting. For now, this will suffice. Place the wood in the slot and get wooden planks.

The answer is very simple — for almost everything. The crafting grid has become much larger, which means you can create hundreds of different items. Here, newbie Steve will craft tools for resource gathering, such as the pickaxe we mentioned in this article. Here, you also create armor, weapons, other crafting stations, and building blocks, such as the fence, which is also covered in a guide.

With the crafting table and this guide, you can conquer Minecraft. Create new things, travel, and explore the mysteries of the cubic world.
