Become a Pro in Minecraft – a guide

1. Change your skin

Your skin is how your character looks. Get skins from minecraftskins.com or create your own using the minecraftskins.com editor or another editor like MCSkin3D. Links may change content at any time.

2. Start playing

There are lots of tutorials out there on YouTube!

3. Start mining.

Craft a pickaxe:

https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pickaxe (links may change content at any time, remember!)

Mine some stone by mining underground. Dig a 2×1 hole and don’t mine straight down. Thank you guys!

Once you find some stone, use the link above (the minecraft.gamepedia.com one) to craft a stone pickaxe. Continue mining until you find a cave.

3. Explore a cave

Once you bump into a cave (you may not, if so then go and mine somewhere else or find a naturally generated cave and go exploring there) move around the cave and look for ore.

Coal ore has black coal in it and can be harvested using a wooden pickaxe. Iron (a peach colour) needs a stone, gold (yellow) and diamond (blue) require an iron Pickaxe to mine. Diamond is only found near the bottom of the world. If you are in a hills biome, you may find Emerald. In any biome, you may find redstone. Emerald needs an iron pickaxe and so does redstone.

4. Get back up to the surface

Mine a staircase back to the surface and make a crafting table if you don’t already have one (wood planks filling up the crafting grid) and make a sword (https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Sword) and a pickaxe. You are now a half-pro. Well done!

PART 2 COMING SOON.

EpicChasGamer.com chat – #2

This week our subject is Minecraft. The Epic Chas Gamer addon has been updated recently to rename the spawn eggs to Spawn Chas and Spawn WinterGirl, whilst adding WinterGirl and new spawn egg textures. This addon is great.

Cool Tip:

Create an “Addon Survival” world and enable addons to make your world different. Remember to enable the “Chas Addon” so that zombies are cool (and husks are too).

I may make rollercoaster maps for MCPE and Minecraft: Java Edition in the future, and I may make “Fight Rollercoaster” maps where you have to fight a boss (may include addons MCPE)

More Addons should come soon (ChasWither, Surfer Addon). Surfer is the SeaSurf mascot if you didn’t know that.

My tablet (Hudl 2) has MCPE beta testing so when the 1.2 update comes, I will do a review on that. I do like the parrots that seem to be coming in the next update.

I hope you liked this chat!

Minecraft for Parents – #7

Hello everyone. Now that you have mined wood, let’s do some crafting! Today you shall learn how to craft sticks and make a sword out of wood.

Open up your version of Minecraft (I will be using PC version for this guide) and load your world.

Sorry guys! I continued without you! But that doesn’t stop me from showing you how to make a wooden sword.

Nightime with peaceful difficulty, just so I can show you how to craft a wooden sword in peace! Found a temple.

Mine about six pieces of wood and they should drop into your inventory. Open your inventory by pressing E on PC and Win10, the three dots in PE and don’t open inventory with triangle on PlayStation and on Xbox, open the crafting menu instead by pressing Square on Playstation and X on Xbox.

Then on PC and Win10, drag the wood into the crafting table (any square will do) and then click to take the results. On PE, Xbox and Playstation, get wooden planks from the menu as the crafting is easier on these versions than on PC/Win10.

Then, arrange the planks so one is in each of the four slots to get a crafting table. Exit the inventory with ESC and right click to place the table. You should see nine slots.

In this guide to tell the crafting recipes for PC, we will use slot numbers to determine what slots you should put the items in.

craftingnumbers

To craft sticks, place two wooden planks into slots 8 and 5. Then take the sticks.

To craft a sword, follow the above recipe using the crafting slot numbers.

Hope you learned something!

Minecraft PE Secret Spawn egg

To give yourself an ender crystal spawn egg in MCPE/Win10 use the following command:

/give PlayerName spawn_egg 1 71

Replace 1 with the amount of spawn eggs you want. Keep 71 how it is. Change PlayerName to your player name. Rename the spawnegg to “Spawn Ender Crystal” with an anvil and there you go!

Enjoy your new Spawn Egg!

Minecraft for Parents – #6

Last time I posted a Minecraft for Parents guide I taught you about the bonus chest (PC Only). This guide is about mining wood which works in all versions of the game. Wood is a very important part of Minecraft as without it, you can’t progress much further.

First, open up your copy of Minecraft. I will be using Win10 Edition for this.

What are behaviour packs? Well, they are a bit advanced, but they are part of Minecraft PE/Win10 that you can enable and tweak gameplay a little bit. Resource packs change the look of the game.

Click play.

If you have already made a world and used a bonus chest in PC then you don’t need to make a new world yet.

Walk over to a tree and left click and keep the click down until the wood disappears and appears as a small version of itself. Then you can collect it.

Continue doing this to pieces of wood. On PE, push your finger at a block and keep it pressed until you destroy it.

Lapis Island – A Minecraft Experiment map

This is Lapis Island, an experiment map in .mctemplate format. This will import it as a world template so you can make a new world using it any time.

It is based on command blocks, so it doesn’t really take you into a new dimension. Instead, it teleports you high into the sky onto a floating island made of lapis lazuli blocks and a house with a chest full of DIAMONDS. A bed even though you don’t need it because of Always Day but if you configure the world differently you may want it.

I hope you enjoy!
