Don't spam click when you're attacking a animal or monster. They changed that in the 1.9 update. If you click once, you can see a little sword underneath your crosshair and if that it fully loaded again. You can hit again. That way you deal the maximum amount of damage. Also, copper is basically useless. The best you can do with it is build copper blocks to build with
you can sprint with control and crouch with shift (ive swapped them around so its easier to sprint). if you are crouching you cant fall off the block you are standing on so it is quite useful if you are building high up. sprinting does use food though.
For years we've theorized what "Stone" is in Minecraft, we'd thought it was maybe Granite, but then Mojang added Granite. Then maybe since it's common, what you find caves in, and it's permeable it could be Limestone... then they added Dripstone.
Hmm interesting, I suppose it could really be anything, it doesn't technically need to be permiable since water in stuff like granite is controlled by fracture flow but maybe we can just call it a 'mystery rock' XD
@@evothegeologist7888 Water does produce drips through one block of stone, but it does that with all opaque solid blocks. Well, what is real life cobblestone most commonly made from? Because mining stone drops cobblestone, so that might be a clue.
We have an engineer, city planner, police officer, multiple doctors, firefighter and now we have a geologist, with everybody playing videogames? I love this! WE NEED
Yeah, Minecraft has changed A LOT. And also perfect timing, the new update just overhauled how the world is created. Massive caves, aquifers, cliffs, chasms, hills, valleys, fjords, mountains, and more. If you continue this as a series, i would suggest exploring the world a bit further from base. Regardless, I am looking forward to your next video. :)
Ah nice, had no idea there had just been an update! Just got lucky with my timing :D Yeah need to get back in game and start exploring a bit more, i'd also like to mine abit deeper to see what I can find :)
Please make it into a full fledged series! I really enjoyed it! I love all of the geology fun facts you give us while playing! You've got yourself a new subscriber :D
Copper is the newest ore. What version on you on? 1.17&1.18 are DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. 1.18 iron and emeralds are found in the mountains above block 125 unless you hit in iron ore vein which is surrounding by tuff If calcite is found after tuff it’s not a vein.
one thing i love about minecraft is the amount of things you wouldnt know if no one told you. like making an obsidian frame with a 2x3 air gap in the middle, when lit on fire turns into a partal to hell. also, USE CONTROL TO SPRINT
Seeing the game played from fresh eyes is always fun. Been playing since way back when we had basic terrain and trees, no nether or anything.. Playthroughs like this are great to show to friends trying to pick up the basics of the game. Thanks for the laughs.
@@evothegeologist7888 As someone who has done a fair amount of excavation during my day. It gave me a chuckle seeing you backfill to preserve the landscape.
Love seeing new minecraft players explore the game! Also a late tip if you didn't already know, you can turn off auto jump in the controls settings! The minecraft world is a few times bigger than Earth, you seem to have spawned on an island in an ocean!
There's really a lot of things changed in the game in this is game changing updates in order: 1.13 Update Aquatic They add new life in oceans with interesting and realistic ocean generation like cracks or underwater cave or aquifers 1.14 Village&Pillage Update Updated the old textures,villages now have the correct architecture depends on the environment and raid(basically a war) and the combat is also changed so don't spawn your weapons or the enemies will take Small amount of damage 1.15 Buzzy Bees Update Still game changing even it's small,they added new wildlife in forest,BEES and Sticky honey 1.16 Nether Update Nether dimension just get more hellish and volcanic world,with a new biome that contains a soil blocks that has trapped souls inside of it..and a new stronger metal than diamond 1.17-1.18 Caves&Cliffs Update They added endangered animal"Axolotls" to raise the awareness about them and improved the world generation to match with real life...
Wow they really have been a lot of updates recently then! Also I had no clue about those amethyst blocks spawned more shards, i'll leave the rest of them alone for now then :)
@@evothegeologist7888 well there are total of 18 updates in Minecraft,plus 1 because of the upcoming Wild Update that will add a underground ancient city and new wildlife to the Overworld along with new frogs,fire flies and allay(fairy) You can use that shards to craft spyglass Or Tinted Glass,that can blocks any light source,only best use for them is in a complicated mob farm...
I introduced my dad to Minecraft a few years ago. When I placed a torch on the wall of a cave, he warned me not to place it too close to some coal ore! It could explode!
Tips (even thought I’m pretty late and you might have already learned these): -Use planks instead of logs to cook (But coal is the best) -Find a cave in the ground, you can easily find ores there -You can make cleaner looking blocks by putting 4 cobblestone in a square (Same with a lot of underground blocks -Wait for the cooldown to end with your sword to deal more damage
6:28 There's actually a few mods that do exactly that. Minecraft has a wide array of unique and amazing mods. From magic to technology to horror and everything in between.
Evo! You are charismatic, funny, entertaining-and it seems to come natural to you. If you turn this into a series I could see you seriously blowing up! I was surprised to see you only have 212 followers. A lot has changed in this game in the past 10 years and I want you to do well so here's some tips for ya: Press F3 to see your coordinates. Look for a set of 3 numbers on an XYZ axis. Example: X:16, Y:-36, Z:33 (You can ignore the numbers that come after the decimals.) Here is how the coordinate system works: X - Determines your position East/West in the map. A positive value increases your position to the East. A negative value increases your position to the West. Y - Determines your position up/down in the map. A positive value increases your position upward. A negative value increases your position downward. Z - Determines your position South/North in the map. A positive value increases your position to the South. A negative value increases your position to the North. I suggest writing down your base coords first and any other remarkable findings you may want to come back to later. Spam clicking with your weapon deals less damage. Notice the meter below the crosshairs, wait for it to get full and time it accordingly to that for the strongest attack. Hold down left shift to crouch, this prevents you from falling off of ledges. Try not to keep valuables on your person, put them in a chest instead (crafted with planks) for safe keeping. I suggest building a tall pillar beside or on top of your base. This way if you get lost while exploring new areas you can find high ground and look for it to guide you home. When exploring caves, put torches only your left side. That way you can always find the right way out to avoid getting lost. Or vise versa, just stick to a side. Torches can be at the most 24 blocks apart to prevent mobs from spawning. Never, ever dig straight above or below you. Just don't. Unless you want to die lol. If you make a bed (with 3 wool and 3 wooden planks), you can sleep through the night to avoid invading mobs and set your spawn point so that when you die you return back to that location. You should build a roof asap because certain mobs can climb walls or again swoop in on you from above. Craft a hoe, till some dirt for farmland, find seeds from patches of grass or crops from nearby villages; plant them within 4 blocks of a water source and that will keep the soil hydrated. Then you can grow wheat, potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, and/or melon for a consistent food source. When you find enough iron you should make a shield, armor, iron pickaxe, and a bucket first. Shears are great for collecting wool without killing sheep and various vines & bushes. A bucket of water can break your fall with proper timing (rapid click to splash it beneath you before you hit the ground) and they can carry other things like lava and ocean mobs. A single bucket of lava in a furnace can smelt 100 items! You can befriend many creatures in this game. Certain mobs will deter and kill mobs for you or drop rare items. Some have an option to make them sit still, but otherwise they'll follow and will even teleport to you. Wolves can be tamed by giving them bones. You will likely have to give more than one. You'll know if it's tamed after it receives a red collar around it's neck (which you can dye). Tamed wolves will attack anything you do, expect for creepers (the exploding guys). They whine when they have low health and you can determine its health by the position of its tail: the higher the tail, the greater the health. You can heal it by feeding it any meat other than fish. Cats can be tamed with raw cod or raw salmon. They're quick to run away so it is important to approach slowly and stand still while feeding them. They're useful to have around because they scare off creepers. Same deal for collars, tail indicators, healing. Horses, donkeys, mules & llamas can be tamed by attempting to ride them multiple times until they stop throwing you off, or by putting a saddle on them if you happen to find one. Saddles cannot be crafted. Llamas can't be saddled but they can be attached to a lead. You can equip them with a storage chest, put armor on them, ride and steer them for faster transportation, etcetera. Foxes like sweet berries, pandas like bamboo (and can rarely drop slime), bees like flowers, & parrots like seeds (and are able to indicate which mobs are nearby by imitating their sounds), etc. You can breed animals so that they will reproduce and repopulate your farm for food, leather, & wool. Cows and sheep mate with wheat, pigs with carrots, potatoes, & beetroot, chickens with seeds, rabbits with carrots & dandelions, and the rest with their listed foods above. ^ Creepers: hit, run back, hit, run back, and then on and so forth. So they won't explode and damage or kill you. They drop gunpowder when they're not self-detonated. Explore out of your immediate area and you will find so many new biomes (over 60!), much deeper caves, what feels like endless mobs (73!) & plenty of generated structures to explore and conquer. I won't spoil them. There are also enchantments, potions, alternate dimensions to traverse and bosses to beat; but yeah I'm not gonna get into detail now. Just know the game has expanded insanely and you have a lot to look forward to! Lastly you have to go a lot deeper than that to find more precious ores. Pull up your coordinates and look for your Y level as these are all Y coords. 0 & -58 are the best levels overall. The only thing that doesn't generate on those levels is coal. (All Y coordinates) Best level for diamonds: -58 Best level for gold: -17 Best levels for coal: 95 & 135 Best level for cooper: 47 Best level for iron: 14 Best level for Lapis Lazuli: 0 Best level for redstone: -58 P.s. love the geology facts, please keep 'em coming! :3
Glad you enjoyed the video :) and thanks for the epic list of tips! Thats super helpful :D I'll keep refering back to them when i'm exploring on the next episode :-D
I still come back to this every couple of years, although last i played was 3-4 years ago. So lots of new things for me too. I believe you can craft multiples by shift + clicking but like i said it's been quite a while
@16:48 I've never seen a giant oak tree spawn like that. Usually it's just a mess of leaves and logs, not neat little tufts of leaves and limbs. But I think I found a new series to binge watch.
I'm so glad that this guy didn't just build a small, tiny hut out of any random blocks he had like most people who are new to Minecraft. Instead, he made a nice, big cobblestone house with a door. Oh and YES! He didn't say MineCraft instead of Minecraft! whenever people capitalize the C it bothers be for some reason.
I actually prefer watching new people play rather than experienced people making crazy redstone contraptions. Especially people with specific educations like geology or engineering. Fun stuff, make more Minecraft videos :)
Your voice is so calming, great background noise when I play my own games! And it's so pleasant that I don't mind rewatching for the video itself. Keep up the good work!
While fun to learn through trial and error, here are a few basic tips. Be careful about getting lost. It’s easy to get turned around. Making a spire, perhaps with lights on it so you can see it for a distance can help. Pressing F3 will bring up the debug info. I personally try not to use it much, but if you are very lost, there’s a section that shows your coordinates and direction as well as the light level where you are at. Don’t dig straight down. While you’ll probably be fine, if you are unlucky, you could fall into a cave or lava, and that would be a bad time. Look at your recipe book. No longer do you need to remember or look up online how to craft things. Every time you touch a new object, it will add things you can build with all things you’ve touched. It’s a great way to figure out things you can create. Get yourself a bed. After 3 days of not sleeping, phantoms will appear in the sky at night, and the longer you don’t sleep, the more will appear. Hallucinations or not, they will hurt you. They cannot fly through blocks so structures and underground are safe places to hide. If you cannot find sheep to sheer or kill for wool, kill some spiders and pack their string into wool. Think about how to renew resources, grow things, breed things, make things. If you need help, the Minecraft wiki can be used as a compendium. Two options that might help with early play if things get to frustrating. One allows you to keep inventory when you die, and another stops creepers from destroying structures when they explode. I try to keep these features off personally. Beyond that, it really is neat when you figure out things on your own.
Looks like you’ve played a lot since, so you probably know most of this by now. But maybe these tips can help another new player. Always great to see more of them. :)
I loved your excitement about the game. My most influential college professor was Dr.Billy Cook here in Texas his specialization was petroleum exploration before he retired to teach. He made the classes so fun that all of the lab science classes I took were In the Geology department. If I had met him when I first tried college in my early 20's I would have picked Geology as a major and never looked back. However at 42 I was a little older and less mobile after a couple of back surgeries. I told my wife when I die I want to come back as a geologist when they start sending them to the moon and Mars
This was so entertaining! Your commentary is hilarious and it is so interesting to watch you play. You deserve so many more subscribers! It’s surprising to see you don’t have at least a million. You’re one subscriber closer to it though!
this was awesome. if you make this a full series i'll probably subscribe! xD there is SO MUCH to learn. wait until you find a GEODE (new to the game) underground! and the new caves are absolutely wondrous to behold
Glad you enjoyed it :) Just released the 3rd episode in the series today, I did bump into a geode but at first it was so large I didn't even realise that was what it was supposed to be XD
coincidentally found this video and i enjoyed it a lot! love the tidbits of your knowledge and experience with geology, and really love how much of a discovery playing minecraft is for you :D ill watch the rest of your videos and i hope to see more!
Hey Evo! Have you ever heard of 'Real Civil Engineer'? You remind me quite a lot of him since you both intertwine your expertise with the games you are playing and are also very entertaining while doing so. Either way I loved this video and will be getting to watching the rest of your series in my free time!
Of all the first tries on Minecraft that I've witnessed (which are 3 cases as of recently), this one is rocking it hard... the crafting table bit is where novice players fall over the most I think.
Welcome to minecraft *-* Also i play the bedrock version so u spamming the attack with the sword is a bedrock thing. In java you need to wait for the aim thing to reload to full so u can damage mobs more effectively. And when u cook in the furnace use planks or slabs so its cheaper instead of using a full log All in all enjoy exploring I subbed.
When you go caving always bring torches and look for diamonds! You can make really good armor and weapons with diamonds, also you should make an obsidian portal to enter the Nether or “hell” to get netherite which is a great material for upgrading also stay on the look out for underground ancient cities but be careful and quiet in them as a beast lives in there called the warden who is blind but has good hearing
btw you can craft a Campfire and cook your food in it instead of cooking them in the furnace by putting some coal/charcoal/woods if you want to make a ton of torches and also saves up coals to make torches more.. though you gotta wait in front of the campfire for the food to be cookand it'll pop out, careful when around campfire as it will damage you if you accidentally walk to it. you can jump+attack enemies and will always crit and also you can Sweep hit for knockback. sugarcane = sugar = for making cookies and paper&map(Cartography table) either way a great and awesome video. also your voice is kinda soothing 👌
loved this first episode, cant wait to watch the rest of the series. even in this first episode you seemed to work things out quite quickly! the new tutorials and help scattered really seemed to have helped new players.
Thanks buddy, I do actually have a larger channel where I do more medieval stuff I've been enjoying playing games over here just for fun though :-) My Other Channel: ruclips.net/user/EvoLozGaming
Ya barely made any mistakes! For a "first time playing Minecraft" video, i'm surprised you didn't struggle with basic stuff that other people struggle with on their first time (e.x. realizing that you have to punch wood, make tools and weapons, build a home)
very nice seeing you play so far! btw hitting so fast actually does less damage. you can take down a skeleton in way less hits if you try to stagger the hits apart
Hello i liked the video a lot first because is always great see new kind of players in minecraft, and more if they know about geology and that kind of stuff. Oh i have a tip for you, minecraft combat has changed is not spamming the sword anymore you need to wait between every hit to do a decent amount of damage you always will see a little sword meter below your ( + ) and it need to be filled or else your atacks will be very weak
Jesus christ your intro was almost the exact same as RCE. That was kind of weird lmao. Anyways you've gained my sub and looking forward to the binge of this series!
I didnt watch the full video yet, but if you click with a weapon you can see a bar loading up at the cross in the middle of the screen. This is the attack indicator, which tells you when to click. When you click really quick, it doesnt do as much damage as when you wait till the bar fills up
And tip (sorry if I am late) Tools durability will quickly drops up to two instead of one when used into a wrong mechanisim For example Sword for breaking and Axe for combat And double "W" Will allow you to sprint (Use space to jump for faster speed while running) And Fun fact: The day and Night Cycle has the cycle of 24 minutes and another fact Copper is both useless and lastly their are green orbs for enchanting (Yes Magic Exist here)
I remember Conan O’Brien doing his Clueless Gamer videos and dubbing Minecraft as a simulator of “Wales in the 19th century, we’re just digging stuff out of the ground and making stuff” 😂
Holy shit, you're two minutes into the video and you've progressed further than most "plays minecraft for the first time" series make it in an hour. Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity Edit: i also like that i learn some stuff while watching the video.
I love This video so much. It reminds me of that one time I made my dad play games on my computer. He really reminds me of my dad. But although my dad is gone now lol, But this video is actually very good.
Minecraft doesn’t so much change as it instead grows. If you remember something working from 10 years ago, it likely still works or works in a similar fashion. What they like to do most often is add things, add blocks, add items, add mobs.
You need 3 sheep wool of the same color to make a bed. And this game is 50x harder to get back into from when you played. There were maybe 15 different blocks now days there is 618 different block types
Hey, Evo, do u want to try an even more dangerous and advanced version of minecraft, where everything has gravity and can be destroyed by u and zombies? Zombies start to run at night, and there is ore to be mined too, in the post-zombie-apocalyptic arizona, now ruled by a duke. Check out "7 Days to Die" then, its my no. 2 game after Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

1.18 iron and emeralds are found in the mountains above block 125 unless you hit in iron ore vein which is surrounding by tuff

There's really a lot of things changed in the game in this is game changing updates in order:
1.13 Update Aquatic
They add new life in oceans with interesting and realistic ocean generation like cracks or underwater cave or aquifers
1.14 Village&Pillage Update
Updated the old textures,villages now have the correct architecture depends on the environment and raid(basically a war) and the combat is also changed so don't spawn your weapons or the enemies will take Small amount of damage
1.15 Buzzy Bees Update
Still game changing even it's small,they added new wildlife in forest,BEES and Sticky honey
1.16 Nether Update
Nether dimension just get more hellish and volcanic world,with a new biome that contains a soil blocks that has trapped souls inside of it..and a new stronger metal than diamond
1.17-1.18 Caves&Cliffs Update
They added endangered animal"Axolotls" to raise the awareness about them and improved the world generation to match with real life...
Wow they really have been a lot of updates recently then!
Also I had no clue about those amethyst blocks spawned more shards, i'll leave the rest of them alone for now then :)
@@evothegeologist7888 well there are total of 18 updates in Minecraft,plus 1 because of the upcoming Wild Update that will add a underground ancient city and new wildlife to the Overworld along with new frogs,fire flies and allay(fairy)

Or Tinted Glass,that can blocks any light source,only best use for them is in a complicated mob farm...
I introduced my dad to Minecraft a few years ago. When I placed a torch on the wall of a cave, he warned me not to place it too close to some coal ore! It could explode!
In the 10 years a lot must have changed. Great video anyways.
Yeah kind of crazy really, didn't realise it had been so long till I had to reset my minecraft login from 2012!
Tips (even thought I’m pretty late and you might have already learned these):
-Use planks instead of logs to cook (But coal is the best)
-Find a cave in the ground, you can easily find ores there
-You can make cleaner looking blocks by putting 4 cobblestone in a square (Same with a lot of underground blocks
-Wait for the cooldown to end with your sword to deal more damage
Thanks for the tips :)
It isn't cringey watching you play, it is really nice to watch you learn how to play and it's really refreshing
watching people burn logs always gets to me
6:28 There's actually a few mods that do exactly that. Minecraft has a wide array of unique and amazing mods. From magic to technology to horror and everything in between.
I've watched people that have actually never played minecraft before so this is like night and day. You definitely have some experience
Evo! You are charismatic, funny, entertaining-and it seems to come natural to you. If you turn this into a series I could see you seriously blowing up! I was surprised to see you only have 212 followers. A lot has changed in this game in the past 10 years and I want you to do well so here's some tips for ya:
Press F3 to see your coordinates. Look for a set of 3 numbers on an XYZ axis. Example:

Z - Determines your position South/North in the map. A positive value increases your position to the South. A negative value increases your position to the North.
I suggest writing down your base coords first and any other remarkable findings you may want to come back to later.
Spam clicking with your weapon deals less damage. Notice the meter below the crosshairs, wait for it to get full and time it accordingly to that for the strongest attack.
Hold down left shift to crouch, this prevents you from falling off of ledges.
Try not to keep valuables on your person, put them in a chest instead (crafted with planks) for safe keeping.
I suggest building a tall pillar beside or on top of your base. This way if you get lost while exploring new areas you can find high ground and look for it to guide you home.
When exploring caves, put torches only your left side. That way you can always find the right way out to avoid getting lost. Or vise versa, just stick to a side. Torches can be at the most 24 blocks apart to prevent mobs from spawning.
Never, ever dig straight above or below you. Just don't. Unless you want to die lol.
If you make a bed (with 3 wool and 3 wooden planks), you can sleep through the night to avoid invading mobs and set your spawn point so that when you die you return back to that location.
You should build a roof asap because certain mobs can climb walls or again swoop in on you from above.
Craft a hoe, till some dirt for farmland, find seeds from patches of grass or crops from nearby villages; plant them within 4 blocks of a water source and that will keep the soil hydrated. Then you can grow wheat, potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, and/or melon for a consistent food source.
When you find enough iron you should make a shield, armor, iron pickaxe, and a bucket first. Shears are great for collecting wool without killing sheep and various vines & bushes.
A bucket of water can break your fall with proper timing (rapid click to splash it beneath you before you hit the ground) and they can carry other things like lava and ocean mobs. A single bucket of lava in a furnace can smelt 100 items!

Horses, donkeys, mules & llamas can be tamed by attempting to ride them multiple times until they stop throwing you off, or by putting a saddle on them if you happen to find one. Saddles cannot be crafted. Llamas can't be saddled but they can be attached to a lead. You can equip them with a storage chest, put armor on them, ride and steer them for faster transportation, etcetera.
Foxes like sweet berries, pandas like bamboo (and can rarely drop slime), bees like flowers, & parrots like seeds (and are able to indicate which mobs are nearby by imitating their sounds), etc.
You can breed animals so that they will reproduce and repopulate your farm for food, leather, & wool. Cows and sheep mate with wheat, pigs with carrots, potatoes, & beetroot, chickens with seeds, rabbits with carrots & dandelions, and the rest with their listed foods above. ^
Creepers: hit, run back, hit, run back, and then on and so forth. So they won't explode and damage or kill you. They drop gunpowder when they're not self-detonated.
Explore out of your immediate area and you will find so many new biomes (over 60!), much deeper caves, what feels like endless mobs (73!) & plenty of generated structures to explore and conquer. I won't spoil them. There are also enchantments, potions, alternate dimensions to traverse and bosses to beat; but yeah I'm not gonna get into detail now. Just know the game has expanded insanely and you have a lot to look forward to!
Lastly you have to go a lot deeper than that to find more precious ores. Pull up your coordinates and look for your Y level as these are all Y coords.
0 & -58 are the best levels overall. The only thing that doesn't generate on those levels is coal.
(All Y coordinates)
Best level for diamonds: -58
Best level for gold: -17
Best levels for coal: 95 & 135
Best level for cooper: 47
Best level for iron: 14
Best level for Lapis Lazuli: 0
Best level for redstone: -58
P.s. love the geology facts, please keep 'em coming! :3
Glad you enjoyed the video :) and thanks for the epic list of tips! Thats super helpful :D I'll keep refering back to them when i'm exploring on the next episode :-D
I still come back to this every couple of years, although last i played was 3-4 years ago. So lots of new things for me too.
I believe you can craft multiples by shift + clicking but like i said it's been quite a while
Nice i'll give shift click a try next time
@16:48 I've never seen a giant oak tree spawn like that. Usually it's just a mess of leaves and logs, not neat little tufts of leaves and limbs.
But I think I found a new series to binge watch.
15:07 that's the most minecraft thing that can hapen to you
This is very entertaining
I'm so glad that this guy didn't just build a small, tiny hut out of any random blocks he had like most people who are new to Minecraft. Instead, he made a nice, big cobblestone house with a door. Oh and YES! He didn't say MineCraft instead of Minecraft! whenever people capitalize the C it bothers be for some reason.
I actually prefer watching new people play rather than experienced people making crazy redstone contraptions. Especially people with specific educations like geology or engineering. Fun stuff, make more Minecraft videos :)
this video looks suspiciously a lot like proffessional engineer plays minecraft for the first time!! from real civil engineer
I think something even better than new players playing minecraft is experienced people playing.
I really enjoy them. Seeing what you guys talk about
Your voice is so calming, great background noise when I play my own games! And it's so pleasant that I don't mind rewatching for the video itself. Keep up the good work!
Thanks :-D
Your voice fit so well with the librarian villager
While fun to learn through trial and error, here are a few basic tips.
Be careful about getting lost. It’s easy to get turned around. Making a spire, perhaps with lights on it so you can see it for a distance can help.
Pressing F3 will bring up the debug info. I personally try not to use it much, but if you are very lost, there’s a section that shows your coordinates and direction as well as the light level where you are at.
Don’t dig straight down. While you’ll probably be fine, if you are unlucky, you could fall into a cave or lava, and that would be a bad time.
Look at your recipe book. No longer do you need to remember or look up online how to craft things. Every time you touch a new object, it will add things you can build with all things you’ve touched. It’s a great way to figure out things you can create.
Get yourself a bed. After 3 days of not sleeping, phantoms will appear in the sky at night, and the longer you don’t sleep, the more will appear. Hallucinations or not, they will hurt you. They cannot fly through blocks so structures and underground are safe places to hide. If you cannot find sheep to sheer or kill for wool, kill some spiders and pack their string into wool.
Think about how to renew resources, grow things, breed things, make things.
If you need help, the Minecraft wiki can be used as a compendium.
Two options that might help with early play if things get to frustrating. One allows you to keep inventory when you die, and another stops creepers from destroying structures when they explode. I try to keep these features off personally.
Beyond that, it really is neat when you figure out things on your own.
Looks like you’ve played a lot since, so you probably know most of this by now. But maybe these tips can help another new player. Always great to see more of them. :)
I loved your excitement about the game. My most influential college professor was Dr.Billy Cook here in Texas his specialization was petroleum exploration before he retired to teach. He made the classes so fun that all of the lab science classes I took were In the Geology department. If I had met him when I first tried college in my early 20's I would have picked Geology as a major and never looked back. However at 42 I was a little older and less mobile after a couple of back surgeries. I told my wife when I die I want to come back as a geologist when they start sending them to the moon and Mars
This was so entertaining! Your commentary is hilarious and it is so interesting to watch you play. You deserve so many more subscribers! It’s surprising to see you don’t have at least a million. You’re one subscriber closer to it though!
Even though this is from 1 year ago, you gained a sub :).
this was awesome. if you make this a full series i'll probably subscribe! xD there is SO MUCH to learn. wait until you find a GEODE (new to the game) underground! and the new caves are absolutely wondrous to behold
Glad you enjoyed it :) Just released the 3rd episode in the series today, I did bump into a geode but at first it was so large I didn't even realise that was what it was supposed to be XD
coincidentally found this video and i enjoyed it a lot! love the tidbits of your knowledge and experience with geology, and really love how much of a discovery playing minecraft is for you :D ill watch the rest of your videos and i hope to see more!
Glad you're enjoying them :-D
Hey Evo! Have you ever heard of 'Real Civil Engineer'? You remind me quite a lot of him since you both intertwine your expertise with the games you are playing and are also very entertaining while doing so. Either way I loved this video and will be getting to watching the rest of your series in my free time!
This was fun to watch, never seen anyone in minecraft get a happy reaction with diorite in their inventory
Imagine watching an archaeologist. 1stick below 3 feathers creating a brush, facing obsidian
Really lovedddd this episode and your commentary
Of all the first tries on Minecraft that I've witnessed (which are 3 cases as of recently), this one is rocking it hard... the crafting table bit is where novice players fall over the most I think.
Welcome to minecraft *-*
Also i play the bedrock version so u spamming the attack with the sword is a bedrock thing.
In java you need to wait for the aim thing to reload to full so u can damage mobs more effectively.
And when u cook in the furnace use planks or slabs so its cheaper instead of using a full log
All in all enjoy exploring
I subbed.
Yeah the weapon spamming thing caught me out at first, slowly getting the hang of it now :)
When you go caving always bring torches and look for diamonds! You can make really good armor and weapons with diamonds, also you should make an obsidian portal to enter the Nether or “hell” to get netherite which is a great material for upgrading also stay on the look out for underground ancient cities but be careful and quiet in them as a beast lives in there called the warden who is blind but has good hearing
btw you can craft a Campfire and cook your food in it instead of cooking them in the furnace by putting some coal/charcoal/woods if you want to make a ton of torches and also saves up coals to make torches more..
though you gotta wait in front of the campfire for the food to be cookand it'll pop out, careful when around campfire as it will damage you if you accidentally walk to it.
you can jump+attack enemies and will always crit and also you can Sweep hit for knockback.
sugarcane = sugar = for making cookies and paper&map(Cartography table)
either way a great and awesome video.
also your voice is kinda soothing 👌
loved this first episode, cant wait to watch the rest of the series. even in this first episode you seemed to work things out quite quickly! the new tutorials and help scattered really seemed to have helped new players.
how do you only have 171 subscribers? this content deserves more
Thanks buddy, I do actually have a larger channel where I do more medieval stuff I've been enjoying playing games over here just for fun though :-)
My Other Channel: ruclips.net/user/EvoLozGaming
I’m watching this right after watching real civil engineer and the beginning is the exact same
Ya barely made any mistakes! For a "first time playing Minecraft" video, i'm surprised you didn't struggle with basic stuff that other people struggle with on their first time (e.x. realizing that you have to punch wood, make tools and weapons, build a home)
I'm loving this series!
CREEPER AWW MAN! 15:08
"oh ive got a thing what have I got what have I got" Best part
Just found this series and subbed because I love watching people figure out Minecraft 🙏🏼 cheers!
Welcome to the channel 😀
very nice seeing you play so far! btw hitting so fast actually does less damage. you can take down a skeleton in way less hits if you try to stagger the hits apart
wow new series with new eyes to this game. wonderful
I love the "Was ist das" at 19:04
As a german I love things like that lol
I keep finding videos like this, I just watched an engineer play Minecraft for the first time and now this. I'm late but I'm loving it
Great video! Cant wait for the next episode..
Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed it :)
@@evothegeologist7888 Np! Maybe find Diamonds in the next episode? U can find it around on y level -54 (press f3)!
@@GameBusterYT the most common area is Y=-59
Hello i liked the video a lot first because is always great see new kind of players in minecraft, and more if they know about geology and that kind of stuff.
Oh i have a tip for you, minecraft combat has changed is not spamming the sword anymore you need to wait between every hit to do a decent amount of damage you always will see a little sword meter below your ( + ) and it need to be filled or else your atacks will be very weak
Thanks glad you liked the video :) and awesome thanks for the tip, i'll be sure to not spam attacks so much :-D
Hey Evo! Love your videos and I was very excited to see you play minecraft since I'm a long time minecraft player!
Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed it :-)
"Don't want to lose my copper!"
Yeah, yeah you do :D
16:27 'im stuck in a tree'
Me :MY DOG STEPPED ON A BEE
Love watching new adults playing Minecraft my favorite kind of entertainment
The spam clicking with his sword is slowly killing me on the inside.
I know not to do that now!
i love seeing people learn as see this lovely game
Oh my god i just looked at your channel and you made a 100 days goddamn that is so cool im watching all of your vids now haha
I love this! Love learning more about geology as you play this game. Please continue this series!
You just came at the right time, they recently had the cave and cliffs update so caves are WAY more beautiful.
Jesus christ your intro was almost the exact same as RCE. That was kind of weird lmao. Anyways you've gained my sub and looking forward to the binge of this series!
I didnt watch the full video yet,
but if you click with a weapon you can see a bar loading up at the cross in the middle of the screen.
This is the attack indicator, which tells you when to click.
When you click really quick, it doesnt do as much damage as when you wait till the bar fills up
make a map with various terrains and mountains and extreme biomes!!! some of the Minecraft world generation seeds are amazing!
And tip (sorry if I am late) Tools durability will quickly drops up to two instead of one when used into a wrong mechanisim
For example
Sword for breaking and Axe for combat
And double "W" Will allow you to sprint (Use space to jump for faster speed while running)
And Fun fact: The day and Night Cycle has the cycle of 24 minutes and another fact Copper is both useless and lastly their are green orbs for enchanting (Yes Magic Exist here)
I remember Conan O’Brien doing his Clueless Gamer videos and dubbing Minecraft as a simulator of “Wales in the 19th century, we’re just digging stuff out of the ground and making stuff” 😂
You actually did really well
zamn this is fun and informative at the same time to watch we need entire series on this please
Holy shit, you're two minutes into the video and you've progressed further than most "plays minecraft for the first time" series make it in an hour.
Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity
Edit: i also like that i learn some stuff while watching the video.
Oh I'm excited about this, I just subbed🥰
Welcome to the channel :)
watching a new person play is refreshing
I laughed so hard when he keeps falling and he goes out ow 😂
Love It!
I love This video so much. It reminds me of that one time I made my dad play games on my computer. He really reminds me of my dad. But although my dad is gone now lol, But this video is actually very good.
Tip:when fighting monsters, you shouldn't just spam click with the sword. You have to to attack when the meter is full.
Minecraft doesn’t so much change as it instead grows. If you remember something working from 10 years ago, it likely still works or works in a similar fashion. What they like to do most often is add things, add blocks, add items, add mobs.
"Stop right there, criminal scum!" - love the ref XD
I wonder when he'll notice the "sword meter" every time he attacks
He played all the way back to when chest couldn't be placed next to eachother and connect
Great video!
Alternate title *British Man Trys Minecraft for the first time*
You need 3 sheep wool of the same color to make a bed. And this game is 50x harder to get back into from when you played.
There were maybe 15 different blocks now days there is 618 different block types
It’s so funny when you think that you’ve reached the end of the map… the map is 8 times bigger than earth lol
A "Geologist" is lucky to play during the "CAVES and Cliffs Update" lol
This is awesome :)
Make more of this pls♥️♥️♥️♥️
I already subscribed
Nice video! You can press ctrl to run and shift to sneak
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :) Ah nice didn't know about the ctrl to run! :D
I love minecraft
Love this!😃😃😃
Hey, Evo, do u want to try an even more dangerous and advanced version of minecraft, where everything has gravity and can be destroyed by u and zombies? Zombies start to run at night, and there is ore to be mined too, in the post-zombie-apocalyptic arizona, now ruled by a duke. Check out "7 Days to Die" then, its my no. 2 game after Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Sounds interesting! I'll have to try and find the time to check it out :)
@@evothegeologist7888 Nice, thanky for answering! Happy eastern!
well he learned faster than the others
