Minecraft Survival Guide for Beginners (APK Version)

Starting Minecraft for the first time can feel a bit confussing. Specially on mobile using the APK version some things may look small or tricky to tap. But no worries this guide is here to help you start strong and survive your first nights without getting totally lost or blown up by creepers.

First Thing – Collect Wood

As soon as your world loads punch a tree. Seriously. Tap and hold on any tree trunk and collect wood blocks. Wood is the basic stuff you need for tools and shelter.

Craft Tools Fast

Use the wood to make a crafting table. Then craft a wooden pickaxe axe and shovel. These tools help you mine faster and protect yourself. Dont waste too much time tho sun goes down quick.

Make a Shelter Before Dark

Monsters come out at night in Minecraft. So build a small shelter before sunset. Even a simple dirt or wood box is better than standing outside. You can make a bed later but first just stay safe.

Dont Forget to Eat

You need food to survive. Kill cows pigs or chickens for meat. Or punch grass to get seeds and grow wheat later. Cook meat if you can but raw also works early on.

Watch Your Health and Hunger

Keep your hunger bar full or your health wont heal. If you take damage find food or stay safe till you recover. Dying early can be really anoying if you loose your stuff.

Explore Slowly

Once you have tools and food you can start to explore caves forests and even villages. Just go slow and be ready with a sword and some torches. Dont dig straight down ever. Trust me on that one.

Final Words

Minecraft survival mode is super fun once you get the hang of it. APK version plays great on mobile if you take your time and learn the basics. Build little by little and you will become a pro.
