Welcome to the Minecraft Quickstart Guide. Minecraft is a game devoid of quests and guided adventures. The world of Minecraft exists for you to build it and transform it into anything and everything imaginable.
It operates on a 20 minute day/night cycle, with 10 minutes of daytime, 1.5 minutes at sunset and sunrise, and 7 minutes of nighttime. During nighttime, the world is covered in darkness, allowing hostile mobs to spawn on the surface. Important Keys: Moving around: W, A, S and D Jump: Space Sneak/Crouch: Hold Shift - While sneaking, you won't fall off a ledge! Inventory: E Once you have found a couple trees, use your fist to punch them and collect the wood that drops. To harvest resources, hold down the left mouse button until the cracks in the block cause it to break. Once the block breaks, you can walk near it to automatically place the item in your inventory. Keep punching trees until you have gathered 10 pieces of wood. IMPORTANT: On a multiplayer server, you will not be able to harvest/mine blocks in a 33x33 block radius of the spawning point.
