The demo world of Minecraft Java Edition
When you buy the game, your options are naturally fleshed out. First of all, you can start a game from the launcher, as was the case with the demo, by clicking on the green Start a game button. In the new window, you have to choose the game mode:
Solo: as its name suggests, is the solitaire version of the game. In this alternative, you can play with a demo world or make your own reality.
Multiplayer: is the multiplayer option.
Minecraft Realms: This mode allows you to create multiplayer worlds with up to 10 friends.
And now, how to behave in the game? Minecraft is a survival game. You control a person who should make due in an unfriendly climate. The first and most important thing is to take care of your health and hunger bar at all times, which determines the character's life.
Life and food bar
To progress, you will have to collect all kinds of materials present in the environment. You have to move the character to a tree, a stone, or any other material on the stage and click the left mouse button. The character must then dig up the material in front of him, and he can add it to his inventory of objects, as long as there are spaces available. If not, you need to access your inventory and only keep some of the available materials or items to make room for the new one.
Equipment inventory
This inventory of items is the key to your adventure. All the materials you have been able to collect are gathered there, and it is also possible to combine them to obtain other more elaborate and useful items. With them, you can build shelters to protect yourself, weapons to defend and attack, and even farms and gardens to provide you with the food you need. During the game, you can equip up to 10 items, but at any time, you can open the entire inventory with the E key and replace some items with others.
Inventory menu and simple manufacturing table
By combining materials and items from your inventory, you can create new, more elaborate items that will help you progress through the game. To give you an example: you can always cut a stone by hand to add it to your inventory, but if you get several wooden sticks and combine them, you can make a wooden pickaxe, which will make it easier for you. The task and will save you time. You can then create a stone pickaxe, an iron pickaxe ... This will allow you to collect new materials, opening up new possibilities. When you start your adventure, you can use the Crafting section of the inventory to combine up to 4 different materials or items to create new ones. However, as you progress, this crafting table is going to prove to be insufficient: you're going to have to create a complete nine-cell wood-crafting table, which is the one that will allow you to layout the more complex elements needed to explore all of the options. There is a cookbook where you can check out the combinations needed to get certain items.
One of the keys to the game is learning to move around the map. It is important to know how the coordinate system works, which is based on a grid where three lines or intersections converge. The X-axis indicates the player's distance from the east (positive) or west (negative): longitude. The Z-axis indicates the player's distance from the south (positive) or north (negative): latitude. Finally, the Y-axis indicates the height (from 0 to 255, 64 corresponding to the sea level): the elevation. Knowing this data will allow you to move around without getting lost and find game elements only available in certain places or certain height ranges.
Coordinates of the character's location on the map
Now you are free, and you can decide for yourself how to play. You can set it up as if it were an RPG or play it in sandbox mode, either harnessing your creativity and inventing all kinds of things or roaming the worlds (some of which are very curious) you can imagine. Other users have created. Explore the locations to find materials that you can use to craft items. You will find them on the surface, underground, or you can get them from creatures.
In conclusion, therefore, the most important thing is to collect materials, create shelter and ensure your food supply. From there, your curiosity will set the pace of the game. There is no specific objective; the idea is rather to stay alive and thus to be able to explore all the options of Minecraft. And if you don't want to be subjected to the rigors of the game, you can always go for Creative Mode, a game mode that can be activated by keyboard controls and allows you to focus only on building and destroying structures. For this, the health and hunger bars are removed (although the creatures or "mobs" are still present, they are completely neutral), all kinds of blocks can be destroyed instantly without the need to collect them (even the indestructible ones, like the base stone), you have all of the inventory items (although some work differently), and you can fly to move around the stage quickly. Remember to play in a world where Cheats are enabled. Otherwise, you will not be able to access this creative mode.
