Hints and Tips for Minecraft
(Mac)

Minecraft requires a lot of skills. One of the big skills are PvP. When you fight someone, make sure to have your strongest sword you can make with your supplies. PUt on any useful potions, and eat a god apple if you have one. Go up to the player or have them come to you. You hit them first, this is important. When they strike you back, come back out of their grip and come back in for a few more shots to their body. While you're doing this, be careful from falling off cliffs, and try to sprint towards them, jump over them, spin around and you might get a few shots to them! When you're finished eat food quickly to refill health, and potions such as healing, regeneration, and if you have some left over god apples, eat one of those. If any of your potions have any extra time, find another player and slay them also!

In Minecraft, gold actually is equivalent to WOOD tools! The swords do +4 attack damage, the same as a wood sword, plus the wooden pickaxe has the same efficiency as the golden pickaxe.

If you need to get a trash can quick,Go to a desert and break a cactus.then go home.Dig 3 blocks down.Then put sand down.Break the block on each side on the second block down and put that cactus peice down.Then put a trap door down over the hole.then open the trash cans lid up and see the item you had disapper. I hoped you liked this hint I gave you.

When you're beside anything that you do not want to fall into lets say for example Lava or Water or a Hole just crotch and it wont let you fall over the edge.

To duplicate your items on Minecraft drop the item then save and quit, then go back on and collect the item you dropped and quit without saving, then go back on and your item will be duplicated.

When you're working in tunnels, be sure to carry hundreds of torches with you and light every step of the way as you go. If any area reaches a low light level, or no light level at all, it allows Mobs to spawn. If you don't light your tunnels, they'll sneak up behind you and kill you, even if you've checked your tunnels before. A helpful tip for the miners.

If you enjoy the challenge of Normal Mode or harder, but don't like how an explosion by a Creeper kills you instantly, keep this in mind: Most armor will protect you JUST enough to survive a creeper blast. Armor seems like it may not be all that useful, and can sometimes be overlooked, but it's worth your time to use it. Iron and Diamond armor work the best!

If you're like me, you've had trouble finding diamond ore. Well, I've figured out a trick to it. All you have to do is dig down until you hit the bedrock. Go up three blocks, and start digging a tunnel in any direction that's one block wide, and three blocks high. Dig until you just can't dig anymore. Move over two blocks, and start digging your way back. You're almost guaranteed to hit Diamond Ore soon enough.
