Although Minecraft provides something for everyone, what it does not come with are directions, rules, or explanations telling you what the different items and blocks in the game are and what to do with them. The amount of information in the game can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. The good news is, you don’t need to know everything to start playing. Only the basics. So this mini-encyclopedia looks at some of the basic facets of the game, from common blocks and crafting recipes to enchantments and potions and transportation.
