After selecting the single-player mode, the first thing that appeared in front of Wang Han was a character choice.
The default for men is a person named Steve, and for women is a person named Alyx.
However, you can customize your face.
Wang Han took a look. Although it was a pixel-style game, the character's head was also a square.
But the eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and nose are also very detailed.
The original skin prototypes of Steve and Alyx are not used.
Wang Han created a new character for himself, and then entered the game under the name "Architectural Master".
After all, she had seen some promotional content of "Minecraft" before, and this game seemed to have the content of building a house.
Although I don’t know how to play it yet, I have to decide on the name first.
After all, having a good name is already half the battle.
She had even thought of Zhang Yi's name, calling him the contractor.
After all, she, a master architect, has designed the house and needs someone to carry out the construction.
Prompt her to choose a mode to play the game.
It is divided into 'creative mode' and 'survival mode'.
However, after seeing the so-called creative mode, which is equivalent to the invincible mode, Wang Han quickly made a decision: "Let's play the survival mode first. This sounds like it should be a bit more challenging."
'Detection: This is your first time entering survival mode. Do you need to know some basic knowledge? '
As Wang Han determined the options, generated the world seed and entered "Minecraft", a prompt pop-up window appeared.
This is triggered every time a new account enters the game. It mainly provides some basic explanations about "Minecraft" so that players can understand how to play in survival mode and some basic operations.
For example, how materials are collected and how tools are made.
Although "Minecraft" is a sandbox game, it can be called the most free sandbox game.
But freedom does not mean that there is no need for novice teaching, and it does not need to be lengthy, but at least some basic concepts and operations still need to be introduced to players.
Wang Han thought for a while and chose yes.
Next came the formal game session. Following the system's instructions, Wang Han did a simple operation.
There are also jumping, running, front and back, left and right.
Very simple and nothing special.
At the same time, in the game, the UI is not very complicated.
It is mainly concentrated right at the bottom of the screen, with the item bar at the bottom.
It's empty now.
On the upper left side of the item bar is a red heart, which represents the life value in the game.
On the right is a big chicken leg, which represents the hunger level in the game.
There is also something similar to an experience bar, but the game seems to have no content for upgrading and adding attributes, which makes Wang Han a little confused.
But if you don’t understand it, then don’t think too much and just play.
"The next thing to do is to go to the tree to collect wood first. As expected, no matter what the game is, if you want to get rich, you must first collect the wood. This is a wise saying."
Wang Han sighed with emotion and prepared to follow the prompts to pick up two trees first.
After taking a look at the surrounding environment, she was now standing on a hill. The entire hill was made of countless stacked blocks.
There are many trees on the mountains and plains, and you can see the sea in the distance.
Without any hesitation, Wang Han ran towards the direction of the trees.
She came to a tree and pressed the left button of the mouse. Then she saw the right hand of the pixel man in the game moving back and forth against the tree at an insane speed.
His right hand kept moving back and forth, and at the same time, the block that was moved in the game quickly showed network cracks, and then suddenly broke and scattered on the ground, turning into very small blocks.
Control the character to walk on it, and then the small block enters his backpack.
A wooden chart option also automatically appeared in the inventory below.
Wang Han selected the wood from the inventory, then tried to right-click the mouse on the ground and saw a standard cube appearing in front of him.
“That’s how building things in games works!”
"This grid is the scope of the unit to be built."
Looking at the cube of wood that appeared in front of him, Wang Han instantly understood the basic rules of construction in "Minecraft".
“All that’s left is to turn the wood into planks and make a tool bench.”
"Then I can start my construction journey. What skills do I have in building a house in creative mode? Watch me build a Lothric city in survival mode!"
Wang Han made four templates out of the wood on his body and built a tool table to put down. Wang Han was full of fantasy about the future construction journey.
"Well, now I can make more things. The sticks can then be combined with the wooden boards to make more things."
Wang Han looked at the system prompts and felt enlightened.
She is not unfamiliar with this either.
Just like in Don't Starve, a lot of things need to be built.
For example, cutting down trees requires an axe. In Minecraft, although you can pull out trees and dig soil with your bare hands, you are limited to trees, soil, and gravel.
If it is stone and coal, it is possible but it will take a longer time.
He used the wood in his hand to make a tool table, and then used the tool table to make tools such as wooden axes and wooden pickaxes.
Then a pop-up window continued to pop up in the game.
"Hey! Is this the end of the novice tutorial? Is this game so simple?"
Looking at the pop-up window that popped up, Wang Han was surprised to find that the novice guide for this game was over.
It couldn't be said to be the end, because it also reminded her of what she was going to do next.
There are also text prompts.
In fact, these were also intentional actions by Chen Xu.
Let players understand how "Minecraft" is played, and at the same time understand that various props need to be synthesized.
That's almost enough.
In addition, the game also has a built-in synthesis table.
Of course, in the synthesis table, Chen Xu did not directly place everything in front of the player.
More of it is just the formula needed in the early stage.
For example, torches, beds, doors, etc.
As for some more advanced ones, players still need to dig a little bit in the game to unlock them.
"At night, monsters will appear in the game, so you need a house and a bed. You can spend the night immediately by lying on the bed at night. If you don't have a bed, you have to wait slowly."
"HP and hunger are the same as in "Don't Starve"."
Combined with the pop-up prompt that just appeared, Wang Han soon understood a basic rule in "Minecraft".
"Let's chop some wood first and build a house before night comes."
Wang Han quickly made a decision.
As for the bed, she saw that it needed wool and wooden boards to make it.
The wool naturally comes from the sheep.
But she looked around and saw no sheep at all except trees.
The pig did see some, so she killed several pink piglets with her knife and harvested some meat. At least she would not be hungry.
Of course, it might also be because she hasn't gone too far yet.
But for Wang Han, the top priority is to build a house by laying down trees.
The goal of Lothric City is too big, let’s make it a warm home first.
After all, big goals start with small things.
With good expectations, Wang Han took an ax and started to pull down the tree.
Once you have collected one or two hundred pieces of wood, you can find a better location to build a cozy nest.
Seeing the increasing amount of wood in the props column and the consumption of the wooden axe's durability, Wang Han also showed a delighted smile on his lips.
She didn't even think about why she didn't dig some rocks and get a stone ax first.
Because now she only has one thing on her mind, and that is what kind of house she wants to build.
Is it a simple European style, a classical European style, or a traditional Chinese style or a post-modern style
