Flying Ox – isn’t Rust the one where you throw rocks and fight naked men?
I have become a Minecraft expert through having a 10-year-old son who talks about little else.
Basically you break tree wood until you have enough to make a crafting table, make some wooden pickaxes, kill a couple of animals for food, dig into a hill and make a room you can seal up, dig up some coal, make some torches, seal the room and wait the long, dark, night of the soul until morning when the zombies and creepers have gone. Then do the same again, gathering stuff, making better tools ad infinitum.
Or just turn on Creative Mode and waste five hours building a castle.
