How to Set Up and Play Minecraft (Beginner Guide)

A quick guide for new players: how to use a seed, create a Java or Bedrock world, find the seed of an existing world, and what to do in your first hour of survival.

Why use a guide?

Most Minecraft questions — how to find diamonds, where slime chunks spawn, how to build a stronghold portal — have non-obvious answers tied to game mechanics you can’t see in-game. The guides on this page explain those mechanics in plain language so you can spend less time wandering and more time playing.

Each guide is written for both Java and Bedrock players unless explicitly noted otherwise, and is updated as Minecraft changes. New guides are added covering mining strategies, world planning, and ways to use SeedLander’s tools to explore and organise your Minecraft worlds.
