How to Start a Minecraft Survival World the Right Way 

How's Everyone Doing Today?

me playing minecraft for 8 years still watching these tutorials

Another tips for beginners 1) If you can't find a lot of coal, you can smelt logs in furnace to get charcoal 2) To smelt lots of items make a block of coal. It smelts 80 items(if I remember correctly) 3) If you make a bucket and if there is no coal in deepslate layer, then use the bucket to get Lava bucket from nearest Lava pool and put the Lava bucket in furnace to smelt 100 items!!! We also get the bucket back 4) If you don't have a shield and a creeper is going to explode, place a block between your feet and him, you won't take damage(first practice this in creative) Hope these helps

Actually, instead of throwing away ur wooden pickaxe, you can use it as fuel in your furnace, keep in mind that the wooden sword won't keep the furnace fire up for long

3:37 If you already have an Iron Ingot, use your shovel to mine some Gravel and find a piece of Flint. After that, craft a Flint and Steel to burn mobs before killing them so you can get already-cooked meat. This is my prefered method.

2:08 NEVER throw away your first tool, it's an amazing peice for your museum once you get that far

Tips I have: (most of them are more for long term worlds than speedruns) -Make a campfire, you can cook infinite food with only one coal. -If you can’t find coal, smelt logs to get charcoal. -Collect eggs from your chicken farm and throw them back inside the pen to spawn more chickens. -When you find sugarcane that is 2 or more blocks tall, leave the bottom block so it will grow back. -Sweet berries found in taigas are not a bad early game food source, each bush gives you multiple berries, and the berries grow back quickly. -Kill wandering traders (or put them in a boat) for the leads. -Plant 4 spruce saplings in a 2x2 square, they will grow into a mega tree that provides tons of wood. -If a cave entrance is a vertical drop down, place water at the top so you can go up and down. -If you run low on food when caving, you can eat glow berries (found in lush caves). -Write down coordinates in the chat, but note that the chat is erased if you leave the world and rejoin. -You can get a lot of food if you steal haybales and crops from villages. -When looking for sheep to make a bed, you can spare gray sheep for breeding, because all your wool needs to be the same color to make a bed. -Place torches on the right side of the cave so when you go back, you know which direction the exit is. -Light animals on fire with a flint and steel before killing them, their meat will be cooked. -If you need flint and have limited gravel, place down, mine, place, and mine your gravel until you get some. -Always keep a bucket of water in your inventory, it will come in handy.

Looking for shipwrecks at the beghining of game is a very nice skip that allows you to find materials and make tools without going to caves at all. Just make a boat, kill some fish for food source and dolphins to help you find chests and there is a good chance you can find some diamonds without worrying much =)

You don't waste anytime getting into it. Great vid!

Fun observation about local difficulty. It was rather lategame, I've been in the area of my base a pretty long time, but most zombies that I've encountered didn't have any armor, except for some loners in iron or chainmail (the difficulty is hard). However, while zombifying some villagers for my trading hall, one of them, after getting zombified, got a full set of diamond armor! It was the only time I've seen a naturally generated zombie (though I'd say it's semi-natural) in full diamond.

Another tip if you're more of a technically inclined player, set up a villager breeder and get an armorer as quickly as you can, an armorer can give you full enchanted diamond armor with a level 19 enchant on it. Some other good villagers to get would be librarians and cartographers as you can go between buying glass from a librarian, turn it into panes and sell that to the cartographer for emeralds, a farmer, again, good source of emeralds and a weapon smith, you can get a diamond axe or sword with I believe the same level enchant as the armor from the armorer.

Wow, you got what are major milestones for me so fast. I had no idea about the "local difficulty" mechanic. Explains why I get a load of mobs while building. I hope to try your start method on my next world, may start one just to give it a go. Thank you.

A missing tip is to make a campfire with your first bit of coal. This will allow you to cook infinite food for the one-off cost of 1 lump of coal. This is especially useful for the raw meat from killing animals you encounter incidentally as you start a world, and can even be useful later in the game too if you make several campfires in a row with a system of hoppers (or a hopper minecart) to collect the food once cooked.

As usual straightforward and super helpful!

A tip to never get lost: When you place torches you should pick a wall, only place torches on that side. That way you never get lost and you always know which way is deeper in and which way is back out... when you reach a junction, go the same direction as the torches you place. I like to keep my wooden pickaxe as a trophy for when my world is in the late stage on hardcore... Also don't encourage people killing sheep :C

Another good tip if you are in a cave to place your torches on one side of the wall. That way you know if all your torches are on the right wall, your return trip will have the torches on the left side.

Another tip that's helped me tons is to turn hitboxes on that way you can see mobs from a lot farther than you normally can (press F3+B)

Note for 8:30, there are certain specific heights that you take damage from. They are always whole numbers though, if I recall correctly. So make a slab and fall off that, and you should be safe no matter what, since slabs are a half block which will make all your heights safe.

You can also go underwater mining with doors, there's no air exposure underwater, so diamonds appear in bigger clusters. Kill hoglins in crimsom forests as they drop leather and porkchop and are very common. Loot the ships you find along the way. Maps always point north. Save rotten flesh if you have wolves in mind. Light torches around a spawner and save the coordinates in a notepad I will add more at replies

I’ve been playing for over 6 years now, but watching the beginners and starter guides are always very entertaining. Plus sometimes they give little ideas I didn’t realize :)

The one who didn't play Minecraft and going to start then don't watch this video as first Minecraft night will always be rememberable.

Local Difficulty never influences mob spawning, only the mobs spawned. However, usually you can progress faster than the mobs, and this mechanic is merely a tap on the brakes from you overpowering them. When it comes to mob spawns, there are only three factors to take into account: amount and concentration of spawning spaces, fullness of the mob cap, and the highest non-air block. If you lit up the entire area, the game struggles to fill up the mob cap and eventually you will find a concentration of mobs in that corner of your base you forgot to light up. If you cave in a new area, most of your 70 mobs will be in other caves with little chance to encounter you before they despawn. The highest non-air block is mainly useful for mob farming, as mob spawn attempts occur between the bottom of the world and the highest non-air block. To give an illustration of this: the addition of the deepslate layer cuts the mob spawns of the y=0-64 area in half, and building an Enderman farm at y=9 requires about 10x as many spawning spaces for the same speed as at y=0.

Been crafting for quite some time but you got my subscription today as this is the first Minecraft video I have watched where the tutorial actually explains really well how to go about beginning stages of survival.

Straight to the point...thanks for sharing. Also started playing about three days ago playing survival. It's been rough but thankfully your content is very helpful!

Literally few minutes ago I watched a video that said "So I did some off-camera mining". Good job, helping new players, good quality and also enjoyable

I'm addicted to villager-dependent farms so I always hunt for a village right away. Villager breeder comes first, then an iron farm. Having an iron farm is basically winning the game so anything goes after that.

how i play: 1. make wooden pickaxe 2. find stone and make stone tools 3. wait until night (get some food, get a bed etc) 4. kill a spider 5. make a fishing rod 6. fish for the next 6 hours straight

Sounds like the "right way" for a speedrun. Many players may have differing goals. Killing every animal right off kind of shoots yourself in the foot if a goal is to achieve higher enchantments. Making shears for wool might allow another player to start breeding sheep. Diving into the deep caves on the first night is rarely ever advise unless you are seriously experienced. You make solid suggestions for experienced players. For newer players, not so much.

I always use two torches side by side to mark paths back to the surface when getting into tunnels that feed back into each other.

I was binge watching your vids and ended up getting early to this one lol

i used this tutorial 6 months ago and i’ve came back because i’ve beat the game full netherite armor decent base and nice farms this was very useful and for newer players make a campfire very useful

Awesome video can wait to play it again, it has been so long since I played MC. I'm excited there is so many new thing.

Amazing video! Straight to the point and lots of useful informations. Well done! :)

Straight to the point. This was so helpful

It's amazing to me that videos like this are still being made. I get there's lots of new players now, but even me as a 10 year player is watching this for help!

I generally know how to start a survival world but I'm always looking for more ideas when I start. So thank you for making this video it was helpful.

this is really helpful because I always don't have the best luck starting a mc world and I needed help with it lol

Great video! Been watching since 10k subs and this is definitely the best video you've done so far! Hopefullu this could become a let's play because that would be amazing!

I've been looking for this tutorial for years!!! Thank you so much!

Recently started played for my son. Came to this video after having a fairly good idea of how to play. Must say after an accumulative 3 hours watching tutorial videos, this one encapsulates exactly what you need to do with no bs and gets straight to the point.

Very soothing presentation and pretty up-to-date & optimised guide ! Nice

I tend to use my no-longer-needed wooden pickaxe to smelt one wooden log for a piece of charcoal that would then be used to smelt 8 wooden logs to get some torches and to have some fuel to cook food and what not. Also I tend to be stingy with my iron in the beginning, I usually save whatever I can for an automated iron farm.

Thanks bro I’ve been looking for tips and actually step by step 🔥

Finally! Been waiting for this video for a long time

I would suggest after getting and basic tools to immediately make a cow farm, basically infinite food for your entire playthrough

Yes thank you. I've been waiting for this for soooooooooo long thank you😁😁😁😁😁

Omg thanks have been alaways doing all of these wrong so now ilearned thanks so much ur the best youtuber ill sub u for sure! 😊❤❤

Thank you Eyecraftmc for the amazing tips! I hope this is going to let me be able to relax more in my hardcore worlds!

another good way to get food especially in bedrock is to craft a fishing rod. This is extremely useful as you will fish even better rods for yourself and even get some enchanted bows or books

this was sooo super useful!

I’ve been playing this game for about 10 years now and I have no idea why I’m here but none the less good video. Keep it up

I played for the first time in a long ass time and when I first got deep down in a cave and seen the natural light from plants and the different cave biomes I was super overwhelmed it’s some of the most beautiful things I seen in the game

I suggest making a smoker and a blast furnace Also the nether portal can be made much easier if you pillar up place the water and make the obsidian around the resulting waterfall 14:46 Iron and *tuff

Just stumbled upon this guide. Pure gold! A small addition: if you are already in caving pick up at least 4 pieces of gold to get a golden armor piece. This way when you go into the nether you don't have to deal with the zombie piglings. One type of mob less to stress about.

Good stuff! I hope to see you continue from here.

Wow, the no diamond pickaxe method of creating a nether portal just blew my mind... idk why I never thought of that! Thank you for this very straight forward video! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

This tutorial was so helpful, i used to go from starting in a world and doing nothing but running around looking for a village, because i thought that everything i needed was there, like a golem for iron, hay bales for bread, and a blacksmith for armor. But thanks to this tutorial, and learning how to go through the nether from watching speed runners, watching speed runners, i have successfully beat the game for the first time. Thank you for the tutorial, you are great.

This actually helps me thank you

Thank You So Much For This!

I have started my world very well, your video is very helpful.❤

Another tip: use 4 logs of your choice and craft the furnace into a smoker and it will cook your food twice as fast

My first order of priority in a new 1.18 world, after basics, is setting up well-sized crop field(cane/wheat/carrots/pumpkins) as well as sheep and cow pens, right next to a village, and using the resources from those to grow the village and level up a number of key trades. Going by this guide, you fall into lava, you are almost back to zero...

I would love a continuation of this

Thanks so much for this. It helped me so much you are amazing😊

wow this is one of the best tutorials ive seen yet

What I do is keeping a book and quill and I keep note of coordinates of important locations.

Thanks so much for this. It helped me so much you are goated

BRO THIS IS SO HELPFUL, thank you for this my guy, your channel is awesome and informative, definitely dropping a sub!! ❤❤

Something worth mentioning: If you are having trouble with skeletons, a good tactic is to hide around a corner. Without fail, the skeleton will walk right around the corner and you can ambush it easily.

I hope you can do ocean monument raiding tips

Eye, I absolutely love your content. Thank you for what you do. You’re awesome buddy.

Thank you so much this was really helpfulf😊

Need a complete series of tips tutorial

when I get my first few pieces of iron I make a pickaxe and a bucket first a bucket is just a must have for me

This video was amazing thank you so much

Love ur content!!

Tip: If you get a iron axe, mine about 1-2 stacks of any type of log, then turn that into planks then sticks 1 log of any type is 4 planks, since fletchers which a fletching table is crafted with 4 planks and 2 flint. fletchers give 1 emerald for 32 sticks and 1 log that is turned into planks gives 8 sticks, 1 stack of logs is 256 planks which can get you 8 stacks of sticks, which that is 16 emeralds, then use those emeralds or get more sticks to get fortune 3, fortune 3 is a enchanted book that can multiply ores, normally without fortune 3 you get 1 diamond, with fortune 3 you can get up to 4 diamonds, I would recommend putting fortune 3 on a diamond pickaxe since you can upgrade it to netherite late game, the best area to mine for diamonds on 1.19.2 is -54 to -59 since the deeper the more diamonds, then make diamond tools and armor, I used this method on my hardcore world and got full diamond tools and armor on day 4.

instead of throwing away your wooden pickaxe, you can use it as fuel

Awesome content! Keep posting ❤️

This is actually really useful. I always find myself lost with no direction doing useless things playing minecraft and just get bored.

What is your favorite way to get back up to the surface when you're done deep caving?

Small tip: if you turn on dynamic lighting in video settings, the torches actually emit light making you see better, and it doesnt lag your game

This is really helpful! I just got Minecraft on pc and this video helps a lot!

This seems like a really nice Minecraft survival guide video. Thanks

cool

As the mob come in front of me, my heart beat raises 😆😆😆

Thanks! Really helped. Also, when I used this and when trying to find food I found a shipwreck. Shipwreck bay is now my world.

It was really helpfull, thank you!

Hey eyecraft,I killed the ender dragon and don't know what to do,I've made tons of farms and am demotivated,what should I do?

Oops I accidentally mined 18 stone instead of 17 guess my world is ruined

this reallly helped thank you

Thank you so much for this video

I kind of disagree with the fact of backing into a corner, because this isn't viable for creepers, as you have to run away from them after each hit if you don't want them to explode, and if you have more than 3 mobs they can easily corner you if you are near a certain thing like a wall. I think a water stream is much more viable as the mobs just cannot walk through it, but you can (although flowing vertical water is even worse than a wall in my opinion since a skeleton can easily knock you off, and if you are unlucky you can take a ton of fall damage). Also, it's not basically impossible to build a nether portal with one bucket, as you can just place 5 blocks and place the water, and place the lava around it.

12:53 i saw a diamond.

If you want to have a really strong start, the coastal village seed template is very good, as it starts you off with 2 villages, and in the village without the blacksmith, there's a ravine with a lot of iron and it also goes down to deepslate, where there is an exposed dungeon where there are 5 diamonds when you mine down 2 blocks in it, with also some ok loot. Really recommend this, as it lets you have a pretty strong start, which also lets you make an easy nether portal since there's a lava pool on the island you start on. Overall, really good seed.

I started today with Minecraft. This is the best video I've saw, i like that it's so on point without any jokes in between

You... didn't mine all of the wood...

I explore the cave by switching to peacefull 😂😂😂

1-spawn 2-find a village 3-build an iron farm 4-build a villager trading hall and trade for diamond tools and armor

thanks eyecraftmc this was so helpful i was so bad at minecraft but watching this video made me good at minecraft
