Playing MInecraft for the First Time - About Oliver's Supercut
I wanted to share this since Minecraft is a bit of a strange game. It has so many mechanics and depth, but there's not really any in-game tutorials.
This is a playthrough of someone who knows very little about Minecraft, but who wants to beat the game without looking anything up or getting help from anybody.
There are also two other parts for anyone interested
For your convenience, here are some timestamps for interesting moments from Part 1:
- 0:01:16 Spawns in
- 0:03:32 First night
- 0:04:41 First death
- 0:11:16 First village
- 0:22:39 Trying to figure out farming
- 0:33:08 Accidentally starting a raid (raiding party starts too far away, can't reach village)
- 0:37:35 First dungeon

An hour in and he figured out the nether portal on his own?
I don't buy it. He had to have already known they were a thing that could be activated.
Imo making Minecraft an actual game rather than a meta game of wikis and YouTube should be the #1 priority if Minecraft wants to grow their users.
Every chest found should have a book with a tip. Examples would be hints about the portal, Potion recipes, and hints about breeding animals. It should be possible to play the game without knowing anything from an external source.

I don't think they need to do much of anything at all different considering it is currently the most sold video game of all time.
I watched all the supercuts and I believe it was legitimate. A truly fantastic series and I highly recommend you give it a go.
This is a supercut of many streams. He learned the basic shape from the nether portals ruins.
Yes you can learn the shape and fill in the blocks. But then nothing happens. You'd have to already know that something could happen to try flint and steel.
Imo the best part of the Ancient city is the red stone area where they show various redstone devices. It makes it possible to discover redstone devices in game rather than relying on YouTube.
