Hacks for Minecrafters - Megan Miller
CHAPTER 1
GETTING STARTED
When you open Minecraft Earth, you’ll first see a starting screen for a few moments before the main game screen opens up. The main screen will show you a Minecraft-style map of the streets and paths around you: The world map. The world map will also display icons of tappables (grassy and rocky mounds, trees, animals) and adventure sites that emit beacons of light. As you move around, the map will update to show your new location and any new tappables or adventures.
Minecraft Earth is a mobile, augmented reality (AR) game, which means it uses data from your real-world environment (your device’s location, local maps, and camera). It adds tappable and adventure icons to a map of your surroundings, and places adventure and building scenes so that they appear on your mobile device’s screen as if they are directly in front of you. To play Minecraft Earth ordinarily, you’ll need to be able to walk or move around your neighborhood to find new tappables and adventures. However, Mojang, the game developer, has also experimented with increasing the radius for accessing tappables and added crystal adventures that you can play in your home.
World Map
Installing Minecraft Earth
To play the game, you’ll need to install it on your mobile device (tablet or smartphone) first. If your device runs iOS, you can get Minecraft Earth from Apple’s App Store, and if you have an Android device, you can download the game from the Google Play Store. Not all devices can support Minecraft Earth, though. Your device needs to support some specific AR-related technologies. Generally, if you have iOS 10 or later and Android 8 or later, you should be fine. Mojang (the developers) have a list of incompatible devices at Help.minecraft.net in the Minecraft Earth Section. Once you have the game installed, you’ll also be asked to sign in to your existing Microsoft or Xbox Live account or create a new one. Also, you’ll need to accept prompts for giving access to Minecraft Earth for your camera and your location.
Minecraft Earth Gameplay
There are three main areas of gameplay in Minecraft Earth: collecting, adventuring, and building. You collect resources (wood, plants, stone, etc.) by clicking on tappables in the world map. Afterwards, you can create more objects and items by combining (crafting) them with your crafting table or cooking (smelting) them in your furnace. In adventures, you place a 3D adventure scene into your world, and interact with it to collect more stuff, solve puzzles, and kill the baddies (skeletons, zombies, creepers, etc.). In build mode, you place a 3D buildplate into your world, where you can remove and add blocks and animals to create buildings and scenes.
Playing Immediately
This chapter looks in detail at the user interface of Minecraft Earth, but you don’t need to understand every detail to start playing the collecting game. Once your world map shows up, you can walk around and start collecting resources. The game will also guide you through a first few tappables through prompts. Otherwise, look at your circular range indicator, and when tappables (trees, animals, chests, grassy mounds, and rocky mounds) appear within this range, you can tap on them several times to collect their resources. Beacons emitting light are adventures, and you’ll probably want to know a little bit more about these before playing one. At the very least, you will want to craft a sword and a pickaxe before playing!
OpenStreetMap
Minecraft Earth uses official open data from OpenStreetMap, which itself is created by a community of users like you. Mojang in fact suggests that if you see a problem with the map of your location, join OpenStreetMap and improve its local mapping.
In addition to the world map, the main screen displays a number of other buttons or links to other features and information: your profile, direction, game challenges, your inventory, the shop, and more.
Navigating for Tappables
The world map will show you a 3D view of your current location and it will update as you move around. You can increase the area that the map shows using a pinch gesture (two fingers moving closer together) and zoom back in with a stretch gesture (two fingers moving apart). The circle around your avatar shows which tappables you can click. You can only open those tappables within your radius, and you have to physically move to get near enough to other tappables.
Tappables
You can only collect tappables that are inside your play circle, or radius. As you move, your play circle refreshes.
Compass
When you start playing, the compass needle points
