Okay so the first thing I did was created a crafting box to make tools, and then I made my shelter. Any crafting recipes that I refer to can be found the the minecraft wiki page (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Crafting). In my last world I made the mistake of not making a shelter. That works until nightime and then you are killed by a mob (anything esle that moves, could be good like a pig or evil like a spider) and lose all the stuff that you collected. So I built my shelter right next to my spawn point which is usually a smart thing to do in case you are killed in which case you will spawn right next to your shelter. So after I got my shelter all set up I went out and got a crap load of wood for crafting. The main thing that I wanted to make with it was ladder parts. After I crafted like 60 ladder pieces I dug a whole all the way to the bottom of the map, digging out some coal and iron that I saw along the way. After that I built a tower all the way to the top of the level to I could see other valuable places on my map, such as a lava pit or just a sick looking place to built something. Also having a super tall tower right by your shelter keeps you from getting lost if you venture away from it and don't want to just die. Now that a had a good base for a shelter I thought I would build a fire in the corner of my shelter to dispose of some of the more useless items a had picked up, mainly wool and twigs. Well I built the fire in a part of my shelter that I left without a roof because the tree was protecting it from things getting in and I could also tell if it was day or night by looking through the leaves. Long story short I set every tree around my shelter on fire >:( good thing I had gotten the wood from most of them already.

Done with Shelter

Starting Back Up
Hey guys, so I downloaded minecraft about four months ago while it was still in its alpha version. For those of who who are unfamiliar with minecraft you can watch the videos above and that will pretty much sum it up. I haven not really played the game much since the beta version was released because that meant I had to start a whole new map. But I have decided to start a new one now for the purpose of this blog so you, my audience, can track my progress and hopefully get some good tips to make your own map. Lets get started then...
