To play Mine Blocks, you must first create a world. If you would like a beginning advantage, check the "bonus chest" option; this will give you a chest containing several early-game items, such as fruit, saplings, wood and stone tools, and basic materials like sticks.

You should start by cutting down trees for wood. (Cutting down fruit trees will provide you with food as well.)

Using the crafting interface in your inventory, you can craft one wood block into four wooden planks

Wood Empty
Empty Empty
Wooden planks

From these planks you can craft a crafting table, like so:

Wooden planks Wooden planks
Wooden planks Wooden planks
Crafting table

Once you have the crafting table, select the slot that the crafting table is in, and shift-click to place it on the ground

A placed crafting table will give you a larger crafting interface, allowing you to craft items with more complex recipes. You can access it by shift-clicking the crafting table.

Sticks are a useful material because it allows you to craft tools to help do specific tasks, heres the crafting recipe

Wooden planks Empty

  • From here, you should craft a wooden pickaxe to mine stone related objects

Wooden Pickaxe

Now that you have your wooden pickaxe, you should either find a cliff or dig downwards a bit until you reach stone, when you mine it with your pick, you will get cobblestone which can be used to craft new things and be used as an upgrade to wooden tools

Now you should make a furnace, which is used to smelt ores and cook food.

If your inventory gets too cluttered, you can make a chest to safely store all of the those extra items for later.

Now it's time to build a nice house. To place blocks, simply right-click while the block you want to place is selected. Your starter house should have enough room for your crafting table, furnace, and anything else you want inside.

  • To avoid having mobs spawn, you should place torches around your house to keep it lit up.


Now you will have to get iron that will serve to improve your house, weapons, etc. It is easy to obtain; if you look under the surface you will probably spot some. You will need a stone pickaxe in order to collect the block; if you don't have one yet now is a good time to craft one.


After you've collected some ore, smelt it in the furnace as shown below.


Iron ore
Coal
Iron ingot
