Professional Engineer plays Minecraft FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

After years of hiding from it, it's finally time to play Minecraft... Who knows what I will be mining, or crafting... Well, most of you as I imagine 99.9% of you probably played this game before! Anyway, let's see how a professional engineer gets on with the world's most popular videogame, Minecraft. Let me know in the comments if you want more of my first ever playthrough, or if you want me to try specific things/challenges!

[@Adam_Carbone]

I am suspecting that this is fake, he "learned" to open his inventory before he spoke about the game hint because he was trying to access the recipe book, which he also shouldn't have known the location of. He referred to avatar as "skin" as someone who plays might. He also seemed vaguely familiar with game mechanics like jumping into water, going straight to punching trees after knowingly trying to find an axe (not that it couldn't be intuitive, but the way he interacts is a bit odd at the start). Not trying to say anything negatively, just my observation haha, wanted to see what other people thought.

[@Darwidx]

​@@Adam_CarboneMost of those things I done in my first game too (except book, it wasn't there yet), Minecraft is very intuitive especially now and you know he could literally watch a video with playthrougth or something. Skins are popular name for player textures in games.

@@theInsaneRodent There was a time when some mapmakers put north on a map at the right side, before they agreed on putting it on top.

[@Phil-lf7xj]

Loved every second of this, here's a few tips to help you out: - You can't fall off edges when holding the crouch key, handy for building on a ledge - Make yourself a bed to skip the night, it uses 3 wooden planks and 3 wool blocks of the same colour - When in combat, watch the little sword icon underneath the crosshair, wait for it to charge to deal more damage in a swing - Holding shift while clicking on items in the inventory will instantly move them into a chest, furnace, crafting table etc. - Lighting up areas will make it so monsters can't spawn, you might want to light up your house and surroundings Good luck!

[@Experiment-tp7me]

[@MrChad69420]

Good

[@jamdavidson878]

Upvote!!

[@timruder7150]

Things I just have to add -When using wood as fuel, then making planks out of it is just far more efficient. -By double tapping the walk key (or the assigned key), you can sprint, which is faster, but consumes food. -Falldamage is calculated using the highest block of the fall, so jumping down edges is just killing yourself for no reason.

I’m going to be honest, this is one of my favourite minecraft videos. It’s because it’s his first time playing. I just love it where he has no idea how to play, finding out how to play. I just love this. It’s not a minecraft speedrun, this is not a guy that knows what to do, this is a guy just trying to have fun and play a game. Not following any rules, like instantly punching a tree as soon as you spawn, he just looks at stuff and then does that. And the fact he built a boat before anything else, it’s just nice to see something so fresh and enjoyable. He doesn’t build a house at night, has fun with the mobs. This is not scary, it’s just him having fun. Enjoy himself. This is what I wish loads of minecraft videos are. I wish there where more videos like this. Sadly since there are millions of people that know about minecraft, there aren’t many videos like this. It’s just so refreshing seeing stuff like. Like for example, more than halfway in, 10 minutes, he hasn’t done anything amazing. But I’ve enjoyed this video every second! I’m more excited for the second half. Which makes me MORE excited for the NEXT VIDEO. This is what videos are MEANT to do. Intrigue me into wanting more, which gives you a subscription.
