Playing Minecraft (what should I do?)

Okay, I'm in the game. Now what?

Welcome! It's Minecraft with a lot more going on than the last time you may have played. 

Some things you might want to try: 

  • catch some Pokemon 
  • go exploring
  • do some strip-mining in survival & hang out in a cave
  • hop on a train and ride it around
  • pick somewhere on the map to explore (press M to bring up the map, right click for teleport options)
  • build some things in Creative mode
  • browse the thousands of blocks we have available to build with
