New Minecraft Players Can Now Seek Help From Dedicated Tutorial Website

Cedar Falls, Iowa based MinecraftHowTo.com is excited to invite Minecraft players around the world to check out their comprehensive How To videos and tutorials. Above all, the site maintains a child-friendly and ad-free atmosphere in pursuit of their ultimate goal: to guide gamers through their exploratory steps in the myriad player-built adventures Minecraft has to offer.

Minecraft holds a special spot in the annals of gaming. Created nearly 10 years ago by Swedish Games Developer Markus Persson (who often goes by the handle ‘Notch’), Minecraft was a nondescript game whose gameplay embodied the two words that made up its title. At its core, the game allowed players to mine resources in the game worlds generated and then craft them into items and structures limited only by their imagination and the game’s unique cube-like graphics.

Given the explosive popularity the game enjoyed in its early years—and the resulting player base that is still going strong to this day—there is an extremely sizeable demand for tips, tricks, and more detailed instruction that can help familiarize new players with the game’s intricacies. Minecraft How To seeks to fill this void, hosting a comprehensive range of tutorials that provide step by step instructions regarding each feature of the game.

For instance, players may browse the website to learn how to breed turtles. In addition to a video tutorial that shows every step on screen at the top of the page, the section on turtle breeding clarifies which editions have the feature included (the Java, Bedrock, Education, and Playstation Editions all let players breed turtles, according to the website). The tutorial informs the reader of the items they need to successfully carry out a breeding (2 seagrass and 2 turtles), and then offers detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to proceed.

In this instance, the page says that two turtles need to be found. “We first need to find two turtles to start the breeding process. You'll typically find turtles on or near beaches. If you're still having trouble finding one you can summon a turtle with a cheat or use a spawn egg,” reads the page. This is followed by the second point, which instructs players to feed the seagrass to the turtles. Notably, each edition and platform that game comes out on uses different controls by which actions can be performed in the game. Taking this into account, the website makes sure that the relevant controls for each edition and platform are included in a legible list.

While Minecraft boasted none of the features most commonly associated with big-budget ‘AAA’ games that frequently dominate the sales charts, its colourful presentation, simple premise, and welcoming nature prompted millions of gamers around the world to turn it into a global sensation. Minecraft currently boasts around 100 million online users, many of whom join each other to mine, craft, and survive the hazards present in some game modes cooperatively. With around 200 million copies sold worldwide, the award-winning game can now be found on multiple platforms: PC, XBox, Playstation, Wii, Switch, and more. It also comes in multiple modes and editions (including the education edition, which is primarily used in schools).

One of its most notable features is its Creative Mode, which allows players to freely roam their game world without fear of attack from Non-Player Characters (NPCs) or other players (also known as Player vs. Player, or PvP). This mode has become one of the most popular for budding artists and other players who seek to exercise their creative gifts, since the building ‘blocks’ of the game’s resources can be individually stacked in the same way pixels make up an image on a computer screen. Large scale paintings can be formed this way, though many players also use the three dimensional space in-game to create massive, explorable structures that vary wildly in nature, from simple buildings to intricately detailed replicas of space ships from popular science fiction.
