Same! Although it was Jacksepticeye for me xD I started playing for the first time last month

I don't have a ton of tips since I'm new too but the wiki is super helpful! I'm constantly looking stuff up there!

On which platform? I love showing off stuff I've built, but I play on PS4.

Im on PC sorry!

Holding Cntrl and Shift while putting stuff into your inventory activates aditional functions! Also if you double-click on something in your inventory you select all of it - so if there's like five stacks of dirt laying around in a chest, and you double-click on one, it makes them all into one stack.

If you click with your mouse-wheel when looking at a block, you character automatically takes that block out if you have it in your inventory.

Wood < Stone < Gold < Iron < Diamond

Most importantly though, have fun!

I didn't know about double clicking!! That's so useful!!

A lot of these are things you really only find out by looking through the button stuff or trying things out. I only found out through a let's play myself!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL! Thanks!

No problem! Indeed it is, makes a lot of things go way faster.

Control or shift*

That's what I meant, sorry

I haven't played in a while, but I think the first thing you want to do is build a workbench, a pick axe, and then a shelter. You can punch trees to get wood, and use a wood pick axe to mine stones. Using a pick axe makes it more likely for a stone block to drop the resource it contains, and a well-lit shelter is good for hiding from monsters at night. I like to build a shelter around my spawn point so I'm not surrounded by monsters when I respawn.

Monsters spawn in darkness, even during the day, so be sure to light up every cave you explore with torches. They also can't see you through glass.

Trees can drop saplings, which grow into new trees when planted.

Biggest beginner tip: When mining and exploring caves, always place your torches on the right walls. That way, when you are lost, just follow the torches on the left wall to get un-lost.

Best tip! Play with friends!!
Just have fun! DL some mods :)))

Would recommend mods if your PC can run them. But also be sure to get some enjoyment out of Vanilla aswell

First thing you should do is find a tree to punch.
Second thing you should do is get a bit of food.
Sheep drop mutton that you can cook for a decent food source, and also drops wool that is necessary for making a bed. You'll want to sleep to set your spawnpoint at your home incase you die. This also requires wood.
You can make a wooden pickaxe pretty easily, which then you'll want to dig up some stone to make a stone one. After that, is Iron, and then you'll be able to search out diamonds to make a diamond pickaxe.
A good rule of thumb is if it's taking a long time to mine, you probably aren't using the right tool. Get a better pick if you're not able to mine it.
Creepers explode. Don't get too close.
Zombies just kinda dick around and chase you.
Little Zombies are the worst. Avoid them.
Sleep often. If you stay awake too long Phantoms will spawn.
Skeletons are ranged mobs. They'll shoot you with arrows. Avoid them if you don't have your own bow or a shield.
Spiders are only hostile during night hours or if you find them in caves.
