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
