As the best-selling video game of all time, Minecraft needs little introduction. Over the last decade it's been tearing up the charts and making its way onto every game system known to man. With that said, the game was initially a little perplexing for some. Its minimal artstyle, combined with a large amount of craftable items meant that many players took some time to get familiar with how the title worked. Its place as an indie title meant features like tutorials were slow to arrive and the community instead had to rely on user-generated content to guide newcomers through the opening

Some might say the lack of a tutorial allowed Minecraft to gain its initial cult following; as the community grew, players started to share and pool their knowledge, gradually expanding the scope of what could be built in-game. Be that as it may, the addition of proper hints and tips for its crafting system, the expansion of the game's wiki and the endless online videos have worked to fill the gap. Now every time there's a new update, a legion of fans are ready and waiting to provide full details and breakdowns for the new features added.
