it s pretty funny.. i mean i was laughing quite a bit and it was a fitiing end.. i could have had closure if i hadnt lost all patience and strar5ted yelling at th screen moments earlier.. now im just traumatized 🤢
I love people playing Minecraft for the first time, specially when they know close to nothing about the game. The first night is always the same.. a constant death loop! Hahaha I love it! 😂 Been there! 🤣 It's so cool to experience and see others experiencing the learning curve in the beggining of the game
Especially nowadays going in blindly. People don’t do that anymore with RUclips and everything which will just tell you everything to do. Reminds me of the 90s and stuff where you just have to figure it all out on your own.
@@stephaniemorrigan3039 I did more recording today, and I think I’ve finally dealt with all of them except for a few in a birch forest that I haven’t found again! 😅
@@TheDadWhoPlays Minecraft is such an old and well known game that it expects you to know a lot of things that it never directly tells you. It's like how fps games don't tell you how to aim and shoot, they just expect the player to already know. That doesn't mean by not using the internet to learn you're playing the game wrong, it's just not the expected and typical experience. The only real rules to video games is to have fun and to not ruin other people's fun! Though if you want to ask any questions, I'm sure lots of people here are willing to try and help, just know that most people are going to overestimate your understanding of the game and likely will skip over some important details 😅
Now you know the absolute sheer terror of Minecraft - first night. You are not a true Minecrafter until you dug a hole at night, jumped in, sealed it up behind you and waited 10 mins until you heard zombies and skeletons burning in the sunlight. The sounds of jangling skeles, moaning zombies, crawling spiders and hissing creepers walking around above you is terrifying. The laugh you heard was a Witch they throw poison bottles at you, and the gurgles are The Drowned, basically underwater zombies that swim fast and some throw tridents. One of the great things about Bedrock (Windows 10 version) is that you do not need to know the configuration of the recipes. You can just pull the item right from your recipe book into your inventory if you have enough materials for it. It is like Insta-crafting. Been fun watching you play blind, definitely coming back for more!
Your sentence about crafting recipes is NOT just Bedrock edition, it is also true in Java edition, so it is not one of the great things about Bedrock as there is no difference there. While bedrock Redstone has many issues, and generally sucks, one thing Bedrock has that Java doesn't is the ability to place blocks in dead space beyond the blocks you are standing on in front of you, but in the same level, although some have complained that it is not always intuitive or reliable, in Java you need to point at the face that you want to place the block, it is an ability that Java doesn't have.
He actually learned something that I learned my first night, then he promptly forgot about it. The player is faster than all those mobs. Then I learned about beds.
36:33 Because this version of Minecraft has a feature where another player can join at any time for Local Co-op, the world is always considered to be multiplayer, which means that bringing up the "pause" menu doesn't _actually_ pause it.
Minecraft 360 version had a pause button, but it was removed from every version after that. Now Java has a pause feature, but it's not as simple as pressing 1 button.
Interestingly, even the Java version is always kind of a multi-player session, it just runs in a special single player mode sometimes which can tell the server to pause if the client does.
I always love the innocence of first-time play-throughs. It's incredible this game has outlived all the original game consoles that ran it. This game is true freedom and independence. Nobody telling you what to do, no ranks, no levels, just XP for enchantment. Your world is literally what you make it out to be.
You need to use the correct tools for different materials. Make an axe to cut trees, make a pickaxe to mine stone and other mining material, make a shovel to dig up dirt sand, and lastly, make a hoe to start a farm
The shovel is optional imo. If you need to remove a lot of sand, gravel, and dirt to level out the land for building,shovels are great as they speed up the process. Otherwise I just use my fists
@TheDadWhoPlaysThings also mote different tools made with different materials will harvest certain blocks where others won't. Some ores can't be mined wirh wood, others need stone at mon, and some need iron or diamond to be mined. You can also make wool blocks from string dropped by spiders to build a bed to set a reapawn point so if you die you can respawn there unstead of ages away lol (make sure you actually click the bed or sleep to set the respawn point tho)
5:08 I didn't expect you to know that that's an armadillo, BUT HOW DOES THAT LOOKE REMOTELY LIKE A PIG!!!???? Anyway, that's an armadillo. You can make wolf armor with the scutes it will shed off periodically.
My new favorite video genre is "Watching people play Minecraft for the very first time." Thank you for making my day! I firmly believe that Minecraft is about a person using their brain and figuring things out. First major discovery: Use the crafting table. :D I hope you will avoid taking too many hints and tips and enjoy all of the discoveries that are out there in the world of blocks. I look forward to watching your experiences as a new player so I can relive the time when I had never played it before. The appropriate Monty Python clip was HIGHLY entertaining. That first night in a new world is always terrifying. :)
Haha glad you’re enjoying it. Seems like there’s so many layers to the gameplay that even with some tips and hints I’ll be figuring out new things for a long time. 😁
All the backseat gaming comments ruin it every single time. You people know there is an entire wikipedia for Minecraft, right? He doesn't need your help.
That was fun and a little frustrating to watch at the same time lol. I love watching new people play. I started playing when I was about 30 so around 8 years ago, then my children started playing. I still love to play. Keep at it.
This is genuinely fascinating to watch - There is so much freedom in this game. Depending on your goals within the game, whether it be building or finishing the quote on quote 'Story', you can make it as simple or as complicated as you need it to be - which is beautiful.
Dont worry too much about learning quickly. The learning curve is steep, but once you get to a certain point, you can do just about the entire game from memory. Just have fun and explore! The map is HUGE (millions of blocks in all directions) so theres plenty to do!
If you started a Minecraft play through series, I would totally watch! It’s rare to find a creator who doesn’t know anything about the game. This brings back good memories from when I first started playing the game. Now I know almost everything there is to know and I’d give anything to be able to play this again for the first time. Loved the video! There is so much for you to learn!
As a previous comment said, armadillo. Armadillos will roll up when you sprint near them, attack them, or if an undead mob is nearby. Every so often they will peek their head out and stick it back in, and if the danger is gone, it will unroll. Undead mobs consist of zombies, skeletons, etc.
You not knowing how to open the crafting table and instead opening inventory was so funny and frustrating 😅 Love this ! Cant wait to watch with series grow
I bought this game on Xbox 360 on a whim in 2013 when I was 34. Haven’t put it down since. I own many other games, old and new... but I keep coming back to this. Feeds my creative needs and allows for a lot of exploration.
They used to offer a tutorial map and I later learned that there were different versions of it. The one I had, you start off in a small garden that you can't escape until you learn the basic stuff that they teach you with screen help. But there was something really neat about that garden and then leaving it and going to the outer world and learning more complicated stuff that they set up on the outside. But that aside, there was something serene about the garden. I know that kids and adults both have emotional connections to this game. As a parent, that map reminded me of a particular time in my kids life. You can keep opening new maps and doing new things and revisiting stuff you did as a group but there's something unique about that tutorial. It's just peaceful. I wish they would bring that back or make it available on the consoles. It's a trip down memory lane that's not available anymore.
@@TheDadWhoPlays kind of an update on tutorials for the Xbox one. You can of course buy a disc version from earlier and it'll have a version of a tutorial map but it's a lot more open like the Xbox 360 version. However, if you ever downloaded the demo for Minecraft on Xbox or purchased an earlier version of the Xbox One edition then those should still be available in your history of games. I found the Xbox One edition of the game which somehow still works and it's separate and it's a version of the game on Xbox from 2016. Anyway if you have that by chance then you would be able to access that older tutorial which by itself is a really cool map with a lot of really unique buildings on it. I can see you progressed really far and you don't need the tutorial anymore for sure but it's still fun to do even after you get familiar. But a word of warring is that technically there are like 10 or so tutorial maps apparently. Lol I think people use in a PC can access older versions of the game more readily or at least download them. :)
Been playing the game heavily as a teenager, used to run a youtube channel with minecraft content too. Now I am a dad watching another dad play this game. xD
I love this game, I'm addicted, and I'm 34 years old 😂 The monsters will spawn in dark places, thats why you see a lot of them in caves and during the night, so its good to have a lot of torches with you to light up the dark areas. And the undead mobs will burn under rhe sun light.
It is interesting that the Minecraft world is quite logical and similar to the usual one. How would you chop down a tree and how would you mine stone in the usual world? That's right, with an axe and a pickaxe. You can't get ore with a shovel... Which means you need to somehow create tools. And you ask yourself how to create them? And then you see an item called a crafting table - and it is immediately clear that this is the first thing you need to do. You try to get something with your bare hands - and yeah, wood is the easiest, which means you will make the first tools from wood of course... And so on, step by step. It's pretty funny to watch someone do it for the first time)
I've been watching a lot of first playthroughs of Minecraft, it seems like everyone gets really lost at first. I've been with the game from the beginning, I think you did great for your first play! The games confusing, it doesn't tell you anything, you figured some stuff out though can't wait to see you learn more! There is so much to explore
I never realized how lucky I was to start with the Xbox edition with the tutorial before I moved to Bedrock. 😂 This is painful to watch, but fun. You're doing surprisingly well!
Oh man this was frustratingly hilarious 💀😅 Go into your game settings and turn on 'show coordinates'. Take note of where you set up camp/base, so you can always find your way back. Once you have a bed and sleep in it, it will act as your respawn, however if it is broken, or exploded, your spawn point will reset to world spawn where you started your world at. Coords also help if you decide to go exploring and take your bed with you to skip the nights you can find your way home.
Nice to check this out! I used to think Minecraft was this silly game, didn't want anything to do with it. Couple of years back, I wanted to game with someone from Discord and we ended up playing Minecraft. I've gotten to love Minecraft now. It's nice to see people trying out Minecraft for the first time, takes me back to when I just started and barely knew what to do. I mean, I still am trash but that's because I'm impatient as heck
Fingers crossed that you switch to Javaaaa. The crafting and achievement progress make a lot more sense on it, it's way better. Hope u try it. Other than that this was super fun to watch ^-^ id love to see what u end up building
The first order of the day is to find some kind of shelter. Make a wooden pickaxe then mine 3 stone, before making a stone pickaxe. The easiest way to make a shelter is to build into a cliff side. Make enough space inside to situate a crafting table and a bed. A bed is made with 3 wooden planks and 3 wool. Wool comes from sheep, (surprisingly enough.) Once you sleep during the night-time it also sets your spawn point to the bed, so in the event of dying you go back to your base. The next thing is to sort out the food side of things. Collect wheat seeds from hitting grass and then make a hoe and use it on dirt blocks 5 blocks or less from a water source, then plant the seeds that will grow into wheat, which can be made into bread. Making a furnace from cobblestone, (which is mined from stone), will allow you to not only cook meat from slain animals but also for smelting ores. Iron being the one you're mostly interested in, as you can make stronger, longer-lasting tools with it, as well as armour.
I’m sure you know by now, but here’s some tips: 1) For the first day or so, don’t go far from the spawn location, so if you die, all your stuff is right there. (Until you can craft a bed to create a new respawn location) 2) Use the first day to collect everything you can see around you and build a basic hideout (dirt or wood). Block yourself in and craft tools that first night. (Unless you know what to craft immediately to make life easier.) 3) Punching trees should be a top priority. You need wood to make your first tools. 4) Each tool has its own uses, allows certain materials to be collected, and speeds collection for its own type: Sword - Obvious Wooden Pickaxe - Stone/Coal/Copper (Including Variants Like Granite) Stone Pickaxe - Iron/Gold/All Prior Mats Iron Pickaxe - Diamond/All Prior Materials Axe - Wood (All types) Shovel - Dirt/Sand/Gravel Hoe - Turn Dirt into Farmland Beyond this very basic start, ask your kids what to do. And remember, Minecraft is a sandbox game. You do what you want, and there aren’t many forced paths to take.
@@Wyrnikh if you move the bed do you always spawn where you place it? I started over twice because I got too far away from the "house" that I built and couldn't find enough sheep (or ANY sheep once) to make the bed.
@@amymalone3995 Not if you break the bed. Just PLACING the bed isn't enough, you have to sleep in it (or TRY to sleep in it). Basic respawn mechanics are as follows for unmodified (vanilla) games: 1) The last bed that you have slept in (or tried to sleep in) as long as it has not been broken afterwards. 2) If there is no bed, if the last bed you slept in is broken, or if the last bed you slept in has become blocked somehow (rare situation), then you respawn at "world spawn" (where you started the game). This means you can carry a bed with you wherever you go, but ONLY the last bed you slept in (or tried to sleep in) is considered "your" bed for respawning purposes, so unless you place it AND try to sleep in it, you return to world spawn. (Servers and Modified Minecraft rules may be different.) It also means that if you build at world spawn (or very near it), you can always (with a few exceptions in later game) get home if you're lost. This becomes particularly useful once you have an Ender Chest (a special type of chest that shares what's inside it with every other ender chest you use), as you can go exploring with a bed and one ender chest, and when your inventory is full you then put everything you collected in the ender chest (be sure to include armor and tools), sleep in the bed, break it, then kill yourself and go home. You only lose your experience and one ender chest. If you have any other questions (any Minecraft topic), I'll try my best to answer. I'm not an expert, but I can usually figure out an appropriate answer.
@@Wyrnikh ohhhhhh!!!! Thank you! Thats a lot of info. When I first started I kept dying and losing all my stuff. I built my first house where I spawned in which was fine but I didn't have any sheep. Lol then I got lost. On my 2nd try I got lost again but found a village. One of the houses in the village had a bed, and I tried dying to respawn at my starting point but it put me back at the village. Lol a lot of it has been confusing, a lot of using Google, I've found some tools that I'm not sure what to do with (a stone cutter for example). I probably have a billion blocks of dirt and cobblestone that I assume I don't need? Lol I may go back to easy mode now that I can craft some weapons but trying to even find iron was rough at the beginning. My niece is 16 and I think mods the game. I'm not ready for that yet, especially not being a gamer. I used to mod the original Sims but that was back in the 90s. Lol
@@amymalone3995 No Problem. Depending on the amount of modding done, you could always ask your niece to install an unmodded vanilla version for you to learn in. If it's not heavily modded, just go with what you have, as there are some good quality of life things that usually get added by modders first. And here's some help with the other blocks/tools you mentioned: I'd keep about a single chest worth of dirt before you start throwing it away. Dirt is a cheap, easily broken scaffolding block that's great to have a handy supply of. And it's a real pain if/when you need it and it isn't available. Cobblestone is used in some crafting recipes, but runs about the same as dirt once you have a chest or two of it. It can, howerver, also be put in a furnace to make regular "stone" which is required for certain other crafting recipes. I'd keep a single or double chest before tossing (at least to start). Later, you will be able to create a cobblestone "generator" with lava and water. Assuming you're using a fairly recent version of the game, look for Iron high up in the mountains or down underground at Y 15. (If you don't know about the coordinates system yet, let me know.) Workstations like the stone cutter have 2 uses: 1) YOU can use them to perform various crafting at better rates than at the crafting bench, but each one only deals with specific materials. Some crafting can ONLY be performed at a specific workstation, such as the Brewing Stand. You can use the stone-cutter, for example, to turn cobblestone into cobble slabs, cobble walls, or cobble stairs more efficiently, and without having to remember the shape required in the crafting bench. If you use the Stone Cutter on "regular" stone (not cobble), you can make both the "regular stone" versions, but also "Stone Brick" versions as well, skipping the step of crafting stone into stone bricks. 2) VILLAGERS can use them to take on a specific job. You can then trade items with that villager to obtain items that would otherwise be much more difficult to get. The lectern is the most overpowered of these, as the Librarian Villager offers trades for magical books. (This is a topic all on its own.)
@@Wyrnikh you're so much better than Google. Lol I heard briefly about the coordinates and have been trying to dig down deeper without getting lost (I do that a lot). I've been making double chests and may build an additional storage shed or just put the chests outside assuming there's no downside to doing that. I did figure out how to milk the cows! Lol I've planted some pumpkin and wheat so far. One of the first games I started and deleted had a treasure chest underwater too. But since I kept getting lost before I've been trying to do things either closer to my spawn area or using torches as a path to get back. Lol
Seeing someone play minecraft for the first time is making me realize Minecraft doesn't hold your hand. Just "Punch a tree" and you're on your own. You're really fast at getting to the crafting bench though! That's the biggest hurdle in most new player's endeavors. Creds!
wow this really took me back to my first experience of minecraft. thankfully the game was alot simpler back then, cant imagine what it would be like learning minecraft in the current version
Thanks. I’ve learned so much over the last few weeks. I’m at a point now where it’ll be hard for me to let this series go whenever it does finally run its course, but that’s a long way off! 😁
lol I always see these things late after they are posted. But I do enjoy watching people trying for the first time. You need to dig a hole first for shelter, before it gets dark. You can just dig in the grass, and hide until daylight. You need to use the right tools. Mining needs a pickaxe. Regular axe for trees is best. You need coal to cook, and make torches. So get a pickaxe first thing, mine all you can, hide out until daytime. Also, you need to eat food, to not die. Get some meat, and cook that, on campfire, or build a furnace. Need stone for that, again, mine stone with pickaxe. Get the basics first, just so you can continue to survive. We always make an underground base, light it all up so baddies cannot spawn there, and get us. Make chests for storage. Stock up on supplies, and then go from there. Minecraft survival is just that, mining, and surviving. It's doing everything from scratch. Shelter, food, light, weapons, tools. Finding a village can be really helpful also. I always build up a village, and use that for my homebase also. Trade with them, get more supplies. Light everything up, and put a fence around it so monsters cannot get in. Get cats to keep the phantoms, and creepers away. Dogs can attack anyone who attacks you for some added protection. I always add iron golems also, as they attack hostile mobs for you. Get a dog by taming a wolf. There is a lot to learn on this game for sure!
PC gamer my whole life, not in a million years would I be able to play Minecraft with a controller. Well done! I've seen a few first time plays of Minecraft. Always surprised no one actually takes a moment to think about the name. Mining and crafting. 2 main things you do in the game, most just run around without doing anything till night and die. Least Dad plays figured out the crafting table and using a controller as well, impressed.
@@TheDadWhoPlays Oh yes, started only couple years after Minecraft came out. Lot of changes. I enjoy the slightly older versions (modded) on Curseforge and FTB (free). Where you have power generation, farming systems, powered armor and all sorts of cool tools, animals and bosses. There are also the challenge games, like skyblock where you start on top of a single tree and 1 block of soil and have to build the world. Many others, Minecraft is amazing. Just wish the developers were encouraging of mods.
Would actually be way easier to play on PC than controller. I swear more than half the struggle is people just learning how to use a modern controller.
I bounce back and forth between PC and console for other games, and I honestly have an easier time with the main controls on console. I end up hitting so many wrong buttons on PC and doing things like jumping off a flying Dino mid-air on Ark! 😅 I do plan on hooking up a keyboard and mouse to the PS4 to test it and/or playing on a computer at some point just to see.
New subscriber! I also started playing so I could play with my daughter. And I was in basically the exact same boat. Playing single player completely blind. Which is fine and dandy, but knowing what I know now, there are some things in the early game that would have been nice to know, and wouldn't have spoiled the experience. After watching many many people play it for the first time, I think it's best when a noob has a knowledgeable friend to guide them when needed. Obviously it requires someone that can be a helpful observer, and not a backseat gamer. None the less, I still like watching other people play it for the first time.
Loved this video! Loved to see someone play it for the first time☺️ it's so organic. (unlike some people have written, I don't think it's frustrating at all! I just think it's lovely to see 😂❤)
Normally when you watch someone play a game you have played for a long time it can be frustrating, but this was really nostalgic. My first experience was very similar to this! Hope you play more 😊
This is fun, as a minecraft player for 10 years it's interesting to see how new players learn, for me I don't even remember my first time it's like spawn in my head to know how to play minecraft. 😭
Yea I’ve been playing for 7 years, which is not as much, but I agree. Something about seeing people discover Minecraft for the first time, struggle, and learn is very entertaining for me
“Got myself some sheep wood or somethin” 😂 this has me cackling. I’m new here but I think I’m really going to like your channel. It’s nice to see that you interact with your audience quite a lot and seem to really enjoy what you do! This was very entertaining, thank you
Es ist so cool, jemanden zu sehen, der Minecraft zum ersten Mal spielt! Danke für deine Video, es war sehr lüstig!!! Ich habe auch ein paar neue Englische Wörter davon gelernt
Just found your channel. I'm a mama recently learning to play Minecraft. I'm a little more of an old school gamer, I played Atari. When I first tried Minecraft, I immediately started in a survival world not knowing anything. As soon as night hit, I was surrounded by a horde of zombies and got stuck in a continual death loop. I screamed for my kid to help, they laughed and suggested I start in creative. I've gotten a tiny bit better since, lol
That's awesome! Welcome. 😊 I really dig the old school games too. I've got some old NES cartridges that are bound to show up on this channel at some point! Minecraft is so much fun. Way more fun than I thought it could be. Keep at it! You'll be a pro one day telling your kids how to play! 😁
Playing minecraft for the first time is a moment that is quite unexplainable to me. I have never played a game since that has created that feeling, and im sure it will never happen again. Treasure this moment forever, man. I envy you.
I have been playing Minecraft for well over a decade. But I always like to come back to these videos showing new people starting out. We all had to go through this learning experience. 🙂I was scared at first. I had no idea what the bad monsters would look like in the game. I see that you do other videos later where you play the game with your daughter. Good family time!
I'm giggling at you the same way my grandson giggled at me when I first started playing Minecraft! That was ten years ago when I was 62. I have loved this game since, though I now mostly watch others play! Keep at it!
I found out about minecraft when I was very little so I don't remember ever learning it, and I feel like I got robbed of this memory. Watching ppl play it for the first time is my way to cope. Thank you
#1) Axe & Pick axe are most important! You can't collect stone or Ore without a Pickaxe. A tree axe won't work on stone, neither will a shovel. You need a pickaxe. Its actually the most important tool in my opinion. Its the first thing I craft. And an axe to speed collecting trees. And a carve a quick 3x3 whole in a cliff wall and craft a door, A crafting table, grab as much wood as I can. With that stone I make a furnace so I can burn some of my wood to make charcoal if I don't immediately find coal. You can build a shelter out of dirt if you need to, but sticks and charcoal gift you torches, and torches give you light which helps keep the nasties away.
Great video. This is really the experience when you play the Minecraft first time. This game can be brutal and scary at times. When you fall to lava and loose your diamond armor and EVERYTHING you have - then you will know despair. Also it is "super fun" when your villager turn into witch.
Some of the best memories I have with my dad were when we played Minecraft together. I convinced him to buy it back in 2011 by playing it near him on my own computer next to him and he was hooked. We played a multiplayer server together for a few years and even attended a Minecon. I know this is an older video.. you should consider playing Minecraft with your kids if they want to!! My younger brother turned 17 this December and he has been playing since he was 3 years old. Minecraft isn't really a game that you beat and I think skill is measured differently depending on your playstyle. I always enjoy seeing people experience the game for the first time, especially if they end up enjoying it in some way.
You should look for the ones I play with my daughter then! We have a great time playing together anymore. And it's also not uncommon for me and both of my kids to be on a server together. Definitely fun times!
I've just find your channel. This is great. I do like watching the overly hyped, 1h recording crammed into an over-stimulated 10 minute video, but this is a nice change. Playing Minecraft is my relaxing, calm, and be creative time. And I feel that watching this.
22:30 I tried MC (PC) for the first time 12 years ago or so. Like you, I wandered about unable to figure out what to do until I died enough times that I gave up. A few years later my kid begged to get the trial version for the XBox 360. He played the trial version a million times before I decided to try it. The XBox version had a tutorial!! That's when I got hooked. I know I'm late to the series, so you're probably already doing better, but yeah... cannot recommend highly enough a tutorial.
The old faux par of leaving floating trees in Minecraft lol, found this so funny, took me back to when I had to play Minecraft to get my kids attention. Simple things to remember, it’s a mining and crafting game. Collect many items of quantity and they usually make things you need. Collect wood to make wooden tools, progress to stone tools and so on till you achieve full diamond gear. You will learn many things along the way. And make sure to get food and eat!
18:16 closest thing to a map is to make a map, but it won't show where you died. For that you need a recovery compass, which is in the mid to late game... since you are on bedrock (playstation, x box, phone, computer) you can turn on coordinates in the settings, then video settings, then a toggle. Where as java (computer only) the f3 debug screen is where you find those... if you know where to look.
I get all the confusion, Minecraft doesn't tell you how to get started and does some things quite differently than other games. But in every survival game my first instinct is to build some shelter.
Absolutely. My experience with Ark kind of lulled me in to a false sense of knowing what I was doing for little bit. I had to wrap my mind around the 1 block at a time concept. Building in Ark is way different than this, and I was probably overcomplicating it. 😁
@@TheDadWhoPlays Your first video got randomly recommended to me, I didn't know your channel beforehand, so I don't know anything about your gaming knowledge/experience/skill/whatever. I've now seen the second video as well and will watch the third one after that comment. You've said multiple times in your video that we experienced players will probably question what you are doing and scream at the monitor. Well everyone starts with the first steps, that's completely normal, so, as I said in my first comment, I get all the confusion. But, just as in the first video you seem to be all over the place rather than going for some basics first and that's what stuns me. My first steps in any survival games are: basic materials -> shelter -> storage -> workbench (or whatever is equivalent to it) -> basic tools/weapons -> more basic materials > food/water -> spending the night getting to know the crafting system Of course it can differ to some degree depending on the game. So far you have barely scratched those things. Well you've found shelter and some food. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing, I find it fun to watch your videos, otherwise I wouldn't watch them back to back. I'm just wondering why you haven't farmed some wood, put the workbench into your shelter and spent some minutes to look how crafting works.
@@LtksK no worries. I get at least some basics figured out pretty quick in the next couple of videos. One of the things I stressed in my Ark series first couple of vids was a bed, a box, and a fire so I’m right there with you. 😁
@@TheDadWhoPlays Oh and what I've also seen you do a lot is asking how you do stuff while the game is telling you how to do it. Like when you didn't know how to sleep on episode 2 while looking at the bed and the ui showing in the bottom left corner to press L2 to sleep. I mean I get it, I don't watch the ui the whole time either. I'm starting episode 4 now. Good to see you have a shelter now and your workbench inside.
This is the first time I've seen someone play who knows absolutely nothing about the game for a very very long time. Makes me remember my first play many many moons ago
I am so happy that there are multiple points you try to mine first before crafting because it seems to be in the title. 😂😂😂MINE and then craft? Lolol. Ive been getting back into Minecraft myself to teach my son, and I’ve had a couple of, “Oops” moments myself. ❤ Dude, you’re SO CLOSE in this video. Love it! Just gotta figure out the mechanics on your controller, and you’ve got the whole world to explore/build. (A dirt shelter might help?? Haha) From A Noob(-ish), Too
I don't know why I have been getting new minecraters when I have been playing for over 10 years now. And I am glad to see it. Armadillos are new in 1.21. Things open up after crafting the crafting table. At least you are learning that's a good thing.
Just found your channel, its actually entertaining to watch a guy that doesn't know what's he doing. Keep it up, that's exactly what makes you entertaing.
We all died 20x in a row the 1st time we played. I truly love watching anyone experience a game that I adore for their 1st time. Keep up the good work and excited to watch more of your content!
I want to be so frustrated because I know exactly what you need to do but, I love watching you learn. It’s cool to see someone learn from nothing and just figure it out!
Once you figure out the crafting and what is required to collect certain items its quite addicting. Punch wood to get logs make wood tool Wooden pickaxe gets cobblestone from stone Collect 3 wools from sheep (kill) and 3 wood boards for a bed to skip the nighttime. The monster wont spawn during the daylight only at night.
Loved this. As a 41 year old dad I too have my own world on Minecraft which i do not let the kids on 😂 Ive subbed, basically because inwant to see this series grow!

No judgment about your learning coming from here. It's way fun to watch others experience this game for the 1st time. Thanks for sharing!
I love people playing Minecraft for the first time, specially when they know close to nothing about the game. The first night is always the same.. a constant death loop! Hahaha
I love it! 😂 Been there! 🤣
It's so cool to experience and see others experiencing the learning curve in the beggining of the game
Especially nowadays going in blindly. People don’t do that anymore with RUclips and everything which will just tell you everything to do. Reminds me of the 90s and stuff where you just have to figure it all out on your own.

@@stephaniemorrigan3039 I did more recording today, and I think I’ve finally dealt with all of them except for a few in a birch forest that I haven’t found again! 😅
This is what Minecraft was like in 2009. Before there were websites and videos you could learn from.
That’s kind of the idea. Sure, I’ve picked up hints and tips here and there, but oh how fun it is to figure things out on your own.
except there wasn't a recipe book, you had to figure those out on your own
@@TheDadWhoPlays Minecraft is such an old and well known game that it expects you to know a lot of things that it never directly tells you. It's like how fps games don't tell you how to aim and shoot, they just expect the player to already know. That doesn't mean by not using the internet to learn you're playing the game wrong, it's just not the expected and typical experience. The only real rules to video games is to have fun and to not ruin other people's fun!
Though if you want to ask any questions, I'm sure lots of people here are willing to try and help, just know that most people are going to overestimate your understanding of the game and likely will skip over some important details 😅
@@towmanjboI still remember when Wal Mart sold recipe books lol😂
And there weren't youtube comments telling somebody what to do.

Now you know the absolute sheer terror of Minecraft - first night. You are not a true Minecrafter until you dug a hole at night, jumped in, sealed it up behind you and waited 10 mins until you heard zombies and skeletons burning in the sunlight. The sounds of jangling skeles, moaning zombies, crawling spiders and hissing creepers walking around above you is terrifying. The laugh you heard was a Witch they throw poison bottles at you, and the gurgles are The Drowned, basically underwater zombies that swim fast and some throw tridents. One of the great things about Bedrock (Windows 10 version) is that you do not need to know the configuration of the recipes. You can just pull the item right from your recipe book into your inventory if you have enough materials for it. It is like Insta-crafting. Been fun watching you play blind, definitely coming back for more!
Your sentence about crafting recipes is NOT just Bedrock edition, it is also true in Java edition, so it is not one of the great things about Bedrock as there is no difference there.
While bedrock Redstone has many issues, and generally sucks, one thing Bedrock has that Java doesn't is the ability to place blocks in dead space beyond the blocks you are standing on in front of you, but in the same level, although some have complained that it is not always intuitive or reliable, in Java you need to point at the face that you want to place the block, it is an ability that Java doesn't have.
He actually learned something that I learned my first night, then he promptly forgot about it. The player is faster than all those mobs. Then I learned about beds.
That's a lot of words... too bad I'm not reading all that
@@Loafofbreb 1 paragraph? You don't read much at all do you? No pizza party for you! 😅
@@JMulvy it's a meme lol. I'm quoting something
36:33 Because this version of Minecraft has a feature where another player can join at any time for Local Co-op, the world is always considered to be multiplayer, which means that bringing up the "pause" menu doesn't _actually_ pause it.
you can actually turn multiplayer off though it will not still not pause the game plus multiplayer is on by defualt
Minecraft 360 version had a pause button, but it was removed from every version after that. Now Java has a pause feature, but it's not as simple as pressing 1 button.
Interestingly, even the Java version is always kind of a multi-player session, it just runs in a special single player mode sometimes which can tell the server to pause if the client does.
I always love the innocence of first-time play-throughs. It's incredible this game has outlived all the original game consoles that ran it.
This game is true freedom and independence. Nobody telling you what to do, no ranks, no levels, just XP for enchantment.
Your world is literally what you make it out to be.
Thanks. It has been such an enjoyable journey! 😊
You need to use the correct tools for different materials. Make an axe to cut trees, make a pickaxe to mine stone and other mining material, make a shovel to dig up dirt sand, and lastly, make a hoe to start a farm
Thanks!
Omg. So funny. Starts game, beats up an armadillo. 😂😂😂 Enjoy, it’s the best game ever.
The shovel is optional imo. If you need to remove a lot of sand, gravel, and dirt to level out the land for building,shovels are great as they speed up the process. Otherwise I just use my fists
@@LdyVivianne calls armadillo a baby pig 🤣
@TheDadWhoPlaysThings also mote different tools made with different materials will harvest certain blocks where others won't. Some ores can't be mined wirh wood, others need stone at mon, and some need iron or diamond to be mined.
You can also make wool blocks from string dropped by spiders to build a bed to set a reapawn point so if you die you can respawn there unstead of ages away lol (make sure you actually click the bed or sleep to set the respawn point tho)
5:08 I didn't expect you to know that that's an armadillo, BUT HOW DOES THAT LOOKE REMOTELY LIKE A PIG!!!???? Anyway, that's an armadillo. You can make wolf armor with the scutes it will shed off periodically.
Well, it was pink… 🤣

My new favorite video genre is "Watching people play Minecraft for the very first time." Thank you for making my day!
I firmly believe that Minecraft is about a person using their brain and figuring things out. First major discovery: Use the crafting table. :D
I hope you will avoid taking too many hints and tips and enjoy all of the discoveries that are out there in the world of blocks. I look forward to watching your experiences as a new player so I can relive the time when I had never played it before.
The appropriate Monty Python clip was HIGHLY entertaining. That first night in a new world is always terrifying. :)
Haha glad you’re enjoying it. Seems like there’s so many layers to the gameplay that even with some tips and hints I’ll be figuring out new things for a long time. 😁
Yea good genre but sadly there's not much of them
It's interesting but very painful to watch, thank God his on bedrock though.
@@Sweet_potato402 yeah, i competely forgot that bedrock is a lot more beginner-friendly compared to java because i haven't played it in so long
All the backseat gaming comments ruin it every single time. You people know there is an entire wikipedia for Minecraft, right? He doesn't need your help.
That was fun and a little frustrating to watch at the same time lol. I love watching new people play. I started playing when I was about 30 so around 8 years ago, then my children started playing. I still love to play. Keep at it.
This is genuinely fascinating to watch - There is so much freedom in this game. Depending on your goals within the game, whether it be building or finishing the quote on quote 'Story', you can make it as simple or as complicated as you need it to be - which is beautiful.
Dont worry too much about learning quickly. The learning curve is steep, but once you get to a certain point, you can do just about the entire game from memory. Just have fun and explore! The map is HUGE (millions of blocks in all directions) so theres plenty to do!
This was so nice to watch, but omg the pain when you didn’t know a certain thing that could really help and the joy when you figured things out
The struggle is real, and the joy is genuine for sure. I’m loving this stage of the game. 😁
The learning curve is pretty steep but y'alls gaming skills are not bad, gamerdad
If you dont have a bed yet, you can dig a hole anywhere and wait for the night to end.
Ok, now that’s a good tip. I seem to have a habit of being way too far away from “home” when the sun goes down! 😅
@TheDadWhoPlaysThings Dig the hole 3 blocks deep, so you can place one block above your head after you jump into the hole.
If you started a Minecraft play through series, I would totally watch! It’s rare to find a creator who doesn’t know anything about the game. This brings back good memories from when I first started playing the game. Now I know almost everything there is to know and I’d give anything to be able to play this again for the first time. Loved the video! There is so much for you to learn!
15:26 Ah yes, the infamous baby zombie that ruins anyone's game
Looking at you ph1lza 😂
as soon it appeared, I knew he was dying
This is such a lesson on game design. It’s also awesome watching someone play Minecraft for the first time, and you are quite the character 😂
Nothing highlights the less than intuitive elements of a game quite as well as watching a complete newbie try to figure them out.
As a previous comment said, armadillo. Armadillos will roll up when you sprint near them, attack them, or if an undead mob is nearby. Every so often they will peek their head out and stick it back in, and if the danger is gone, it will unroll. Undead mobs consist of zombies, skeletons, etc.
I hadn’t heard about them rolling near mobs. Makes sense. Thanks.
In my opinion aramalallaidiots is the worst mob in minecraft. (I play old version anyway I don't have to experience the new mob)
You not knowing how to open the crafting table and instead opening inventory was so funny and frustrating 😅 Love this ! Cant wait to watch with series grow
I bought this game on Xbox 360 on a whim in 2013 when I was 34.
Haven’t put it down since.
I own many other games, old and new... but I keep coming back to this.
Feeds my creative needs and allows for a lot of exploration.
They used to offer a tutorial map and I later learned that there were different versions of it. The one I had, you start off in a small garden that you can't escape until you learn the basic stuff that they teach you with screen help.
But there was something really neat about that garden and then leaving it and going to the outer world and learning more complicated stuff that they set up on the outside.
But that aside, there was something serene about the garden. I know that kids and adults both have emotional connections to this game. As a parent, that map reminded me of a particular time in my kids life. You can keep opening new maps and doing new things and revisiting stuff you did as a group but there's something unique about that tutorial. It's just peaceful.
I wish they would bring that back or make it available on the consoles. It's a trip down memory lane that's not available anymore.
Oh wow. That would be nice. I'm a fan of a decent tutorial map, especially coming in completely cold to a game.
@@TheDadWhoPlays kind of an update on tutorials for the Xbox one. You can of course buy a disc version from earlier and it'll have a version of a tutorial map but it's a lot more open like the Xbox 360 version.
However, if you ever downloaded the demo for Minecraft on Xbox or purchased an earlier version of the Xbox One edition then those should still be available in your history of games.
I found the Xbox One edition of the game which somehow still works and it's separate and it's a version of the game on Xbox from 2016.
Anyway if you have that by chance then you would be able to access that older tutorial which by itself is a really cool map with a lot of really unique buildings on it.
I can see you progressed really far and you don't need the tutorial anymore for sure but it's still fun to do even after you get familiar.
But a word of warring is that technically there are like 10 or so tutorial maps apparently. Lol
I think people use in a PC can access older versions of the game more readily or at least download them.
:)
Been playing the game heavily as a teenager, used to run a youtube channel with minecraft content too. Now I am a dad watching another dad play this game. xD
I love this game, I'm addicted, and I'm 34 years old 😂
The monsters will spawn in dark places, thats why you see a lot of them in caves and during the night, so its good to have a lot of torches with you to light up the dark areas.
And the undead mobs will burn under rhe sun light.
im 33 and obsessed too! lets exchange gamr tags n play sometime!
"I got a trophy? They give these things out to anybody!" total dad comment 10/10
him causually puching a harmless armadillo, "im assuming this is a pig"
Haha. That was funny, looking back at it. 🤣 But also, why would I think it’s ok to punch a baby pig???
I'm loving your Minecraft you're hilarious like watching my grandma using zoom.plz do more
😂
I remember when I started playing minecraft, my kids don't laugh at me anymore since I'm better then they are now.
It is interesting that the Minecraft world is quite logical and similar to the usual one. How would you chop down a tree and how would you mine stone in the usual world? That's right, with an axe and a pickaxe. You can't get ore with a shovel... Which means you need to somehow create tools. And you ask yourself how to create them? And then you see an item called a crafting table - and it is immediately clear that this is the first thing you need to do. You try to get something with your bare hands - and yeah, wood is the easiest, which means you will make the first tools from wood of course... And so on, step by step.
It's pretty funny to watch someone do it for the first time)
It really is funny thinking back to this first video - everything that seems so natural and obvious now was just not clicking for me in that moment!
"I got me some sheep wood or something" 😂😂😂😂
Ever have one of those moments when you think back on what you said and realize it was incredibly dumb? Yeah, that’s one for me right there! 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Me literally unable to take my eyes off while in agony.
I've been watching a lot of first playthroughs of Minecraft, it seems like everyone gets really lost at first. I've been with the game from the beginning, I think you did great for your first play! The games confusing, it doesn't tell you anything, you figured some stuff out though can't wait to see you learn more! There is so much to explore
I never realized how lucky I was to start with the Xbox edition with the tutorial before I moved to Bedrock. 😂 This is painful to watch, but fun. You're doing surprisingly well!
Oh man this was frustratingly hilarious 💀😅
Go into your game settings and turn on 'show coordinates'. Take note of where you set up camp/base, so you can always find your way back.
Once you have a bed and sleep in it, it will act as your respawn, however if it is broken, or exploded, your spawn point will reset to world spawn where you started your world at.
Coords also help if you decide to go exploring and take your bed with you to skip the nights you can find your way home.
If only he had known he could also have a bonus chest at the start of the game. No, on second thought that would have been more confusing for him.
He don't need coordinates, should use compass and maps instead
Nice to check this out! I used to think Minecraft was this silly game, didn't want anything to do with it. Couple of years back, I wanted to game with someone from Discord and we ended up playing Minecraft. I've gotten to love Minecraft now. It's nice to see people trying out Minecraft for the first time, takes me back to when I just started and barely knew what to do. I mean, I still am trash but that's because I'm impatient as heck
"The chat is yelling at me to go get the wood" boi I'm yelling at you to stop leaving trees floating damnit!!
Live and learn! 😂
@@TheDadWhoPlays yeah, but it's fun to watch and I can't be too mad, I had the same issue when starting.
Thank you so much for playing Minecraft! This is already super comforting to watch! I’ll definitely start watching all these videos !
Thanks for watching! 😊
I kindof love this and hate it watching dude turn all his planks to sticks then not realize he needed those to craft the tools gave me a hernia 😂😂
Fingers crossed that you switch to Javaaaa. The crafting and achievement progress make a lot more sense on it, it's way better. Hope u try it. Other than that this was super fun to watch ^-^ id love to see what u end up building
The first order of the day is to find some kind of shelter. Make a wooden pickaxe then mine 3 stone, before making a stone pickaxe. The easiest way to make a shelter is to build into a cliff side. Make enough space inside to situate a crafting table and a bed. A bed is made with 3 wooden planks and 3 wool. Wool comes from sheep, (surprisingly enough.) Once you sleep during the night-time it also sets your spawn point to the bed, so in the event of dying you go back to your base. The next thing is to sort out the food side of things. Collect wheat seeds from hitting grass and then make a hoe and use it on dirt blocks 5 blocks or less from a water source, then plant the seeds that will grow into wheat, which can be made into bread. Making a furnace from cobblestone, (which is mined from stone), will allow you to not only cook meat from slain animals but also for smelting ores. Iron being the one you're mostly interested in, as you can make stronger, longer-lasting tools with it, as well as armour.
make a campfire to cook food so you don't gotta go hunting for coal.
omg just finish the tree pls! (thanks for this series though, i subscribed :) )
Hehe! I know! It’s pretty bad. 🙃Thanks though! Welcome. 😊
I’m sure you know by now, but here’s some tips:
1) For the first day or so, don’t go far from the spawn location, so if you die, all your stuff is right there. (Until you can craft a bed to create a new respawn location)
2) Use the first day to collect everything you can see around you and build a basic hideout (dirt or wood). Block yourself in and craft tools that first night. (Unless you know what to craft immediately to make life easier.)
3) Punching trees should be a top priority. You need wood to make your first tools.
4) Each tool has its own uses, allows certain materials to be collected, and speeds collection for its own type:
Sword - Obvious
Wooden Pickaxe - Stone/Coal/Copper
(Including Variants Like Granite)
Stone Pickaxe - Iron/Gold/All Prior Mats
Iron Pickaxe - Diamond/All Prior Materials
Axe - Wood (All types)
Shovel - Dirt/Sand/Gravel
Hoe - Turn Dirt into Farmland
Beyond this very basic start, ask your kids what to do. And remember, Minecraft is a sandbox game. You do what you want, and there aren’t many forced paths to take.
@@Wyrnikh if you move the bed do you always spawn where you place it? I started over twice because I got too far away from the "house" that I built and couldn't find enough sheep (or ANY sheep once) to make the bed.
@@amymalone3995 Not if you break the bed. Just PLACING the bed isn't enough, you have to sleep in it (or TRY to sleep in it).
Basic respawn mechanics are as follows for unmodified (vanilla) games:
1) The last bed that you have slept in (or tried to sleep in) as long as it has not been broken afterwards.
2) If there is no bed, if the last bed you slept in is broken, or if the last bed you slept in has become blocked somehow (rare situation), then you respawn at "world spawn" (where you started the game).
This means you can carry a bed with you wherever you go, but ONLY the last bed you slept in (or tried to sleep in) is considered "your" bed for respawning purposes, so unless you place it AND try to sleep in it, you return to world spawn.
(Servers and Modified Minecraft rules may be different.)
It also means that if you build at world spawn (or very near it), you can always (with a few exceptions in later game) get home if you're lost. This becomes particularly useful once you have an Ender Chest (a special type of chest that shares what's inside it with every other ender chest you use), as you can go exploring with a bed and one ender chest, and when your inventory is full you then put everything you collected in the ender chest (be sure to include armor and tools), sleep in the bed, break it, then kill yourself and go home. You only lose your experience and one ender chest.
If you have any other questions (any Minecraft topic), I'll try my best to answer. I'm not an expert, but I can usually figure out an appropriate answer.
@@Wyrnikh ohhhhhh!!!! Thank you! Thats a lot of info. When I first started I kept dying and losing all my stuff. I built my first house where I spawned in which was fine but I didn't have any sheep. Lol then I got lost. On my 2nd try I got lost again but found a village. One of the houses in the village had a bed, and I tried dying to respawn at my starting point but it put me back at the village. Lol a lot of it has been confusing, a lot of using Google, I've found some tools that I'm not sure what to do with (a stone cutter for example). I probably have a billion blocks of dirt and cobblestone that I assume I don't need? Lol I may go back to easy mode now that I can craft some weapons but trying to even find iron was rough at the beginning. My niece is 16 and I think mods the game. I'm not ready for that yet, especially not being a gamer. I used to mod the original Sims but that was back in the 90s. Lol
@@amymalone3995 No Problem. Depending on the amount of modding done, you could always ask your niece to install an unmodded vanilla version for you to learn in. If it's not heavily modded, just go with what you have, as there are some good quality of life things that usually get added by modders first.
And here's some help with the other blocks/tools you mentioned:
I'd keep about a single chest worth of dirt before you start throwing it away. Dirt is a cheap, easily broken scaffolding block that's great to have a handy supply of. And it's a real pain if/when you need it and it isn't available.
Cobblestone is used in some crafting recipes, but runs about the same as dirt once you have a chest or two of it. It can, howerver, also be put in a furnace to make regular "stone" which is required for certain other crafting recipes. I'd keep a single or double chest before tossing (at least to start). Later, you will be able to create a cobblestone "generator" with lava and water.
Assuming you're using a fairly recent version of the game, look for Iron high up in the mountains or down underground at Y 15. (If you don't know about the coordinates system yet, let me know.)
Workstations like the stone cutter have 2 uses:
1) YOU can use them to perform various crafting at better rates than at the crafting bench, but each one only deals with specific materials. Some crafting can ONLY be performed at a specific workstation, such as the Brewing Stand. You can use the stone-cutter, for example, to turn cobblestone into cobble slabs, cobble walls, or cobble stairs more efficiently, and without having to remember the shape required in the crafting bench. If you use the Stone Cutter on "regular" stone (not cobble), you can make both the "regular stone" versions, but also "Stone Brick" versions as well, skipping the step of crafting stone into stone bricks.
2) VILLAGERS can use them to take on a specific job. You can then trade items with that villager to obtain items that would otherwise be much more difficult to get. The lectern is the most overpowered of these, as the Librarian Villager offers trades for magical books. (This is a topic all on its own.)
@@Wyrnikh you're so much better than Google. Lol I heard briefly about the coordinates and have been trying to dig down deeper without getting lost (I do that a lot). I've been making double chests and may build an additional storage shed or just put the chests outside assuming there's no downside to doing that. I did figure out how to milk the cows! Lol I've planted some pumpkin and wheat so far. One of the first games I started and deleted had a treasure chest underwater too. But since I kept getting lost before I've been trying to do things either closer to my spawn area or using torches as a path to get back. Lol
Watching old mate run around hitting stuff with a Stick was the best thing I’ve seen in ages. Quality content alert ❤
I'm glad this was uploaded 1 month ago, that way I don't have to wait for more minecraft videos.
Recording more every week. 😁
Seeing someone play minecraft for the first time is making me realize Minecraft doesn't hold your hand. Just "Punch a tree" and you're on your own.
You're really fast at getting to the crafting bench though! That's the biggest hurdle in most new player's endeavors. Creds!
wow this really took me back to my first experience of minecraft. thankfully the game was alot simpler back then, cant imagine what it would be like learning minecraft in the current version
I’d love to see this series keep going and see your progress this was a joy to watch as a seasoned player
Thanks. I’ve learned so much over the last few weeks. I’m at a point now where it’ll be hard for me to let this series go whenever it does finally run its course, but that’s a long way off! 😁
lol I always see these things late after they are posted. But I do enjoy watching people trying for the first time. You need to dig a hole first for shelter, before it gets dark. You can just dig in the grass, and hide until daylight. You need to use the right tools. Mining needs a pickaxe. Regular axe for trees is best. You need coal to cook, and make torches. So get a pickaxe first thing, mine all you can, hide out until daytime. Also, you need to eat food, to not die. Get some meat, and cook that, on campfire, or build a furnace. Need stone for that, again, mine stone with pickaxe. Get the basics first, just so you can continue to survive. We always make an underground base, light it all up so baddies cannot spawn there, and get us. Make chests for storage. Stock up on supplies, and then go from there. Minecraft survival is just that, mining, and surviving. It's doing everything from scratch. Shelter, food, light, weapons, tools. Finding a village can be really helpful also. I always build up a village, and use that for my homebase also. Trade with them, get more supplies. Light everything up, and put a fence around it so monsters cannot get in. Get cats to keep the phantoms, and creepers away. Dogs can attack anyone who attacks you for some added protection. I always add iron golems also, as they attack hostile mobs for you. Get a dog by taming a wolf. There is a lot to learn on this game for sure!
This was the most dad play through of any game ive ever seen.
Seeing someone play Minecraft for the first time and being absolutely lost is the most frustrating and wholesome experience at the same time
Just found the channel, finally new series to binge watch
Welcome! Hope you make it through the cringe parts! 😂
Commits the ultimate sin: leaving trees floating...
Guilty! 😭🤣
PC gamer my whole life, not in a million years would I be able to play Minecraft with a controller. Well done! I've seen a few first time plays of Minecraft. Always surprised no one actually takes a moment to think about the name. Mining and crafting. 2 main things you do in the game, most just run around without doing anything till night and die. Least Dad plays figured out the crafting table and using a controller as well, impressed.
It was definitely a challenge! lol. Gotta admit, when I recorded this video, I had no idea how addicting it would be.
@@TheDadWhoPlays Oh yes, started only couple years after Minecraft came out. Lot of changes. I enjoy the slightly older versions (modded) on Curseforge and FTB (free). Where you have power generation, farming systems, powered armor and all sorts of cool tools, animals and bosses. There are also the challenge games, like skyblock where you start on top of a single tree and 1 block of soil and have to build the world. Many others, Minecraft is amazing. Just wish the developers were encouraging of mods.
Would actually be way easier to play on PC than controller. I swear more than half the struggle is people just learning how to use a modern controller.
I bounce back and forth between PC and console for other games, and I honestly have an easier time with the main controls on console. I end up hitting so many wrong buttons on PC and doing things like jumping off a flying Dino mid-air on Ark! 😅 I do plan on hooking up a keyboard and mouse to the PS4 to test it and/or playing on a computer at some point just to see.
New subscriber! I also started playing so I could play with my daughter. And I was in basically the exact same boat. Playing single player completely blind. Which is fine and dandy, but knowing what I know now, there are some things in the early game that would have been nice to know, and wouldn't have spoiled the experience.
After watching many many people play it for the first time, I think it's best when a noob has a knowledgeable friend to guide them when needed. Obviously it requires someone that can be a helpful observer, and not a backseat gamer.
None the less, I still like watching other people play it for the first time.
Loved this video! Loved to see someone play it for the first time☺️ it's so organic. (unlike some people have written, I don't think it's frustrating at all! I just think it's lovely to see 😂❤)
Thank you so much!! 😊
Normally when you watch someone play a game you have played for a long time it can be frustrating, but this was really nostalgic. My first experience was very similar to this! Hope you play more 😊
Sheep wood just really got me. I did not see that coming, best Minecraft pun of the year.
This is fun, as a minecraft player for 10 years it's interesting to see how new players learn, for me I don't even remember my first time it's like spawn in my head to know how to play minecraft. 😭
Yea I’ve been playing for 7 years, which is not as much, but I agree. Something about seeing people discover Minecraft for the first time, struggle, and learn is very entertaining for me
“Got myself some sheep wood or somethin” 😂 this has me cackling. I’m new here but I think I’m really going to like your channel. It’s nice to see that you interact with your audience quite a lot and seem to really enjoy what you do! This was very entertaining, thank you
Yeah, sheep wood has become a thing… 😅
Es ist so cool, jemanden zu sehen, der Minecraft zum ersten Mal spielt! Danke für deine Video, es war sehr lüstig!!! Ich habe auch ein paar neue Englische Wörter davon gelernt
Thank you! 😊
Has never played minecraft... mercilessly beats down a harmless Amadillo in the first 5 seconds of the game... yeah.. your gonna do fine here 😂
😂
Lawd I feel your learning pains. I played solo and it was rough at first. Love this game
Just found your channel. I'm a mama recently learning to play Minecraft. I'm a little more of an old school gamer, I played Atari. When I first tried Minecraft, I immediately started in a survival world not knowing anything. As soon as night hit, I was surrounded by a horde of zombies and got stuck in a continual death loop. I screamed for my kid to help, they laughed and suggested I start in creative. I've gotten a tiny bit better since, lol
That's awesome! Welcome. 😊 I really dig the old school games too. I've got some old NES cartridges that are bound to show up on this channel at some point! Minecraft is so much fun. Way more fun than I thought it could be. Keep at it! You'll be a pro one day telling your kids how to play! 😁
Honestly, youre doing much better than a lot of first time players. I once saw a guy that took four episodes to make a wooden pickaxe
Oof!
Playing minecraft for the first time is a moment that is quite unexplainable to me. I have never played a game since that has created that feeling, and im sure it will never happen again. Treasure this moment forever, man. I envy you.
I have been playing Minecraft for well over a decade. But I always like to come back to these videos showing new people starting out. We all had to go through this learning experience. 🙂I was scared at first. I had no idea what the bad monsters would look like in the game. I see that you do other videos later where you play the game with your daughter. Good family time!
Yes thanks! It’s the best. Also trying to work on getting my son in on it too. But that will be a different map/series when we do that. 😊
I'm giggling at you the same way my grandson giggled at me when I first started playing Minecraft! That was ten years ago when I was 62. I have loved this game since, though I now mostly watch others play! Keep at it!
I found out about minecraft when I was very little so I don't remember ever learning it, and I feel like I got robbed of this memory. Watching ppl play it for the first time is my way to cope. Thank you
Love it. Thanks! 😁
#1) Axe & Pick axe are most important! You can't collect stone or Ore without a Pickaxe. A tree axe won't work on stone, neither will a shovel. You need a pickaxe. Its actually the most important tool in my opinion. Its the first thing I craft. And an axe to speed collecting trees.
And a carve a quick 3x3 whole in a cliff wall and craft a door, A crafting table, grab as much wood as I can. With that stone I make a furnace so I can burn some of my wood to make charcoal if I don't immediately find coal. You can build a shelter out of dirt if you need to, but sticks and charcoal gift you torches, and torches give you light which helps keep the nasties away.
Great video. This is really the experience when you play the Minecraft first time. This game can be brutal and scary at times. When you fall to lava and loose your diamond armor and EVERYTHING you have - then you will know despair.
Also it is "super fun" when your villager turn into witch.
Mincraft is so fun.
Minceraft
is so fun

Some of the best memories I have with my dad were when we played Minecraft together. I convinced him to buy it back in 2011 by playing it near him on my own computer next to him and he was hooked. We played a multiplayer server together for a few years and even attended a Minecon. I know this is an older video.. you should consider playing Minecraft with your kids if they want to!! My younger brother turned 17 this December and he has been playing since he was 3 years old. Minecraft isn't really a game that you beat and I think skill is measured differently depending on your playstyle. I always enjoy seeing people experience the game for the first time, especially if they end up enjoying it in some way.
You should look for the ones I play with my daughter then! We have a great time playing together anymore. And it's also not uncommon for me and both of my kids to be on a server together. Definitely fun times!
I've just find your channel. This is great. I do like watching the overly hyped, 1h recording crammed into an over-stimulated 10 minute video, but this is a nice change.
Playing Minecraft is my relaxing, calm, and be creative time. And I feel that watching this.
Very cool! Thanks.😊
22:30 I tried MC (PC) for the first time 12 years ago or so. Like you, I wandered about unable to figure out what to do until I died enough times that I gave up. A few years later my kid begged to get the trial version for the XBox 360. He played the trial version a million times before I decided to try it. The XBox version had a tutorial!! That's when I got hooked. I know I'm late to the series, so you're probably already doing better, but yeah... cannot recommend highly enough a tutorial.
The old faux par of leaving floating trees in Minecraft lol, found this so funny, took me back to when I had to play Minecraft to get my kids attention. Simple things to remember, it’s a mining and crafting game. Collect many items of quantity and they usually make things you need. Collect wood to make wooden tools, progress to stone tools and so on till you achieve full diamond gear. You will learn many things along the way. And make sure to get food and eat!
I think ive just found a new series to binge
Awesome! Thanks. 😁
it's so cool watching people experience minecraft for the first time, growing up playing this was so important to me.
18:16 closest thing to a map is to make a map, but it won't show where you died. For that you need a recovery compass, which is in the mid to late game... since you are on bedrock (playstation, x box, phone, computer) you can turn on coordinates in the settings, then video settings, then a toggle. Where as java (computer only) the f3 debug screen is where you find those... if you know where to look.
You cant fake this ignorance. This was amusing to watch. In a wholesome way. I remember when i didnt know how to mine cobblestone.
I get all the confusion, Minecraft doesn't tell you how to get started and does some things quite differently than other games. But in every survival game my first instinct is to build some shelter.
Absolutely. My experience with Ark kind of lulled me in to a false sense of knowing what I was doing for little bit. I had to wrap my mind around the 1 block at a time concept. Building in Ark is way different than this, and I was probably overcomplicating it. 😁
@@TheDadWhoPlays Your first video got randomly recommended to me, I didn't know your channel beforehand, so I don't know anything about your gaming knowledge/experience/skill/whatever.
I've now seen the second video as well and will watch the third one after that comment.
You've said multiple times in your video that we experienced players will probably question what you are doing and scream at the monitor. Well everyone starts with the first steps, that's completely normal, so, as I said in my first comment, I get all the confusion. But, just as in the first video you seem to be all over the place rather than going for some basics first and that's what stuns me.
My first steps in any survival games are: basic materials -> shelter -> storage -> workbench (or whatever is equivalent to it) -> basic tools/weapons -> more basic materials > food/water -> spending the night getting to know the crafting system
Of course it can differ to some degree depending on the game. So far you have barely scratched those things. Well you've found shelter and some food.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing, I find it fun to watch your videos, otherwise I wouldn't watch them back to back. I'm just wondering why you haven't farmed some wood, put the workbench into your shelter and spent some minutes to look how crafting works.
@@LtksK no worries. I get at least some basics figured out pretty quick in the next couple of videos. One of the things I stressed in my Ark series first couple of vids was a bed, a box, and a fire so I’m right there with you. 😁
@@TheDadWhoPlays Oh and what I've also seen you do a lot is asking how you do stuff while the game is telling you how to do it. Like when you didn't know how to sleep on episode 2 while looking at the bed and the ui showing in the bottom left corner to press L2 to sleep. I mean I get it, I don't watch the ui the whole time either.
I'm starting episode 4 now. Good to see you have a shelter now and your workbench inside.
This is the first time I've seen someone play who knows absolutely nothing about the game for a very very long time. Makes me remember my first play many many moons ago
Now I know this man is not lying about that title because he kept leaving floating trees and we know that's Minecraft public enemy #1 behavior.
The sheep is circling and yelling, Take my wool and make a bed.
Literally one of the loading screen messages is "Don't leave trees floating!"
Oops! 😅 Takes me a few episodes, but I get there. 😂
@@TheDadWhoPlays make sure you sleep. Because if you're awake for more than 3 days, Phantoms will spawn and attack you
I am so happy that there are multiple points you try to mine first before crafting because it seems to be in the title. 😂😂😂MINE and then craft? Lolol. Ive been getting back into Minecraft myself to teach my son, and I’ve had a couple of, “Oops” moments myself. ❤
Dude, you’re SO CLOSE in this video. Love it! Just gotta figure out the mechanics on your controller, and you’ve got the whole world to explore/build. (A dirt shelter might help?? Haha)
From A Noob(-ish), Too
Loved this as much as it was frustrating not being able to help it was great to watch you figure it out
At the start you were right that was an armadillo. Its a new animal to minecraft
I don't know why I have been getting new minecraters when I have been playing for over 10 years now. And I am glad to see it. Armadillos are new in 1.21. Things open up after crafting the crafting table. At least you are learning that's a good thing.
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Be prepared: I do lots of things wrong! 😅
Entertaining, will definitely be following along! 😆
Omg I was chilling to the music and then sir Robin chimes in with is vocal chords in peak performance "RUN AWAAAAY" lmao, made me jump
Hahaha! 😂
Just found your channel, its actually entertaining to watch a guy that doesn't know what's he doing. Keep it up, that's exactly what makes you entertaing.
Thanks! I’m having a blast. 😁
We all died 20x in a row the 1st time we played. I truly love watching anyone experience a game that I adore for their 1st time. Keep up the good work and excited to watch more of your content!
I want to be so frustrated because I know exactly what you need to do but, I love watching you learn. It’s cool to see someone learn from nothing and just figure it out!
TheDadWhoPlaysThings: I am playing Minecraft for the first time!
Me: 😀
The first thing he does: Abusively hurt and punch an armadillo
Me: 😢
9:33 I nearly died laughing 🤣
Once you figure out the crafting and what is required to collect certain items its quite addicting.
Punch wood to get logs make wood tool
Wooden pickaxe gets cobblestone from stone
Collect 3 wools from sheep (kill) and 3 wood boards for a bed to skip the nighttime. The monster wont spawn during the daylight only at night.
Sounds easy enough... 😅
Loved this. As a 41 year old dad I too have my own world on Minecraft which i do not let the kids on 😂
Ive subbed, basically because inwant to see this series grow!
