To start off, here are some helpful links (some that i used to help me make this guide) :​

Minecraft Wiki​

Minecraft Itself (GAME)​

Crafting Guide​

Alright, anyway... Welcome to Minecraft!​

If you haven't already, you may wanna think about buying this game.​

If you are trying this game for the first time, Click Here.​

After trying the game, buying is the best way to expereince the game in-full. Otherwise, you are just playing the Demo-Version of the game, called Minecraft Classic​

One of the main reason of buying the game is for Survival mode!​

-Survival mode is the second released game mode of Minecraft in which players must build structures and fight to survive. It is currently the main focus in the development of Minecraft, being the only playable game mode in the most recent Beta version of the game. Players can build shelters to fend off enemy mobs that will spawn to make their lives harder. ​

​

OK, now that you have bought Minecraft, you can play the BETA version! You have joined the 500k + that play currently. You may be wandering what to do - I will tell you!​

A few keys to remember - - -
"I" to open your inventory
Esc. To pause the game​

Steps - ​

1. Log in on the minecraft Website ( link at the top here)​

2. Either click play in browser on the main page or, if you've already played beta at least once, you can download and run a re sizable client​

3. After logging on, you'll get a screen like this -
​

4. You can either play a single-player game or play a multiplayer game ( this guide deals with single player only)​

5. After clicking single player, you will appear in your new world!​

Now that you are in game, there are a few things you should know:​

• Make a Shelter! It will keep you safe during the night. Making it on hills or underground will keep mobs from getting in, though make sure to close open holes!

• Get wood! - Get wood by chopping down tree's immediately! This is the first step you MUST take before continuing on your adventure.
• After Making a wood Pickax, Mine some stone! This will give you access toyour first stone tools, which are going to be your main workhorse tools for a while.
• (TIP) During the night, mobs will spawn if your difficulty is on anything but Peaceful... To change your difficulty, Hit Esc. on your keyboard, then click options/settings... From there, click the difficulty to change it.
• Mine coal with your stone pickaxe to gain access to light in the form of Torches and Flames... This will allow you to light up the darkness.

Now that you have taken these first steps, you can begin to shape and create your world. Creating tools and items is important to do, so use it to your advantage... ​

 

Nice introduction to the game.

 

Thank you very much Im going to create the unofficial Survival guide soon too

 

if i try to load that site it says "502 Bad Gateway"

 

Looks like a good start. You already wrote that your not finished so I wouldn't harp on that. I can't wait to see the finished copy.

 

Minecraft says that??

Sometimes the site does not load properly... If you just wait a few minutes and refresh it should be fine. It does that to me also



Edit : SITE IS DOWN... FIRST TIME I've EVER SEEN IT DOWN, BUT IT IS
