I'm such a Minecraft noob!?

Question

okay, so i am a total noob at minecraft! I have some questions.

How do you use a pickaxe, shovel, an axe and all those other tools? (left clicking doesnt work...)
how do you make shelter?

so yeah im a noob...hahahaha please answer

Answer 1

Left clicking should work, and to build a temporary shelter trust dig a hole, light it with torches, and. Close up the top. The just camp in there for a while or mine down. Then when it is day, use whatever blocks you mined to build a house or cube. Really, you should look at minecraftwiki.com and read stuff for an hour or so. Also, you should watch a few hours of let's play videos. Minecraft is such a complex game that it would take a 10,000 page essay to explain everything.

Answer 2

Hold down the left click button to break blocks. You should see a little animation of it being cracked over time. If that doesn't work, check the options. Your keybindings might be wrong. Each tool has a type of block that it is good at breaking. These are all fairly obvious, pickax for stone and ores, axe for wood, etc.



As for shelter, it can be just about anything. From a hole that you dug in the side of a mountain to a wooden house, use whatever resources are present. Make sure to make a door out of 6 wood planks, though.



I hope this helps.

Answer 3

its ok, ive been there too :)

to use a pickaxe, shovel, axe, or any weapon (also a sword) use the button you have labeled "attack" in controls, and if you want to place down blocks, use the button you have labeled "use item". this also works on shears if you want to get wool from sheep. (edit: ususally it starts out in controls as the left mouse button, but you can change all the stuff in controls )

a shelter is just basically a building you can make anyway you want, to protect you from mobs (if you are playing in survival on easy. medium, or hard, peaceful there are no mobs. oh yea, mobs are those monsters that will spawn at night or in dark places, so make sure your house is lit up). you can pretty much make it outta anything you want. make sure you also have a door for it! (to make a crafting table, go to your survival inventory and put four wood planks in the box. to get wood planks, just set the wood you get from trees in the box and itll give you four. in the crafting table just make a shape of a door with wood planks (2 wide, 3 tall) ).

It also helps if you have an iPod touch, or a mobile device you can get apps on, and to get a minecraft guide. most are free, and they give you all the crafting recipes, and helpful tips on mobs and other things.



I hope this helped! i know how difficult and frusturating it can be when nobody has any guides online for starters that are super detailed >_>

Minecraft is an amazing game, and i also hope you have fun playing :D

Answer 4

wtf? uh ok left clicking usually works for me so check your mouse for problems? So back to the question the way you make a shelter is you get the blocks you want and you right click where you want to place them.Then make it in the shape of the shelter and go in.

or make a hole in the ground with a trapdoor exit
