So my 8 year old loves Minecraft, she plays on my PS4 and has been playing for a couple of months now (weekends only).

Anyway so far she has built a house + Small farm with Wheat/Carrots and Sheep/Pigs. She found a cave and got some iron ore too. Thing is I need some sort of checklist of what she should do next? she wants to get diamonds and make a portal?

Is there some sort of checklist that she can work through, she keeps going to sleep as soon as it is dark as she is scared of the monsters so she asked me to help to make a trap.

What should I encourage her to do next?

Those are the new blocks: http://ift.tt/1XdO1x2

This is a previous magma-like block: http://ift.tt/1T3OIWw

Notice how those blocks are lit by nearby lava. I’m not saying Jeb did this on purpose but if you think about it, most of the Nether isn’t lit by fire or lava.

This creates a big contrast problem. When you look at the Nether, most of it is uniform – there are no details to focus on. When you walk through the corridors of Nether Fortresses, it’s all a dark haze. Intersections and stairs barely register visually because they just all blend together.

One of the first tips for better building on this subreddit 5 years ago was about providing necessary contrast. Not building out of one block.

And this is my issue with Nether – no matter what type of blocks we’ll get, if they are dark or red, they’ll look like dark mush in Nether’s natural light conditions.

Outside of lava ocean providing contrast for floating Netherrack islands, it’s just so uniform in my opinion. Do you have any suggestions how to improve this situation?

My wife has tritanomoly and she finds many video games difficult. Minecraft is no exception. Many minerals and blocks have the same colors to her and this makes the subtle patterns difficult to discern. I have searched for a few hours but I cannot find a resource pack designed to help with this. Can anyone point me toward a resource pack to help her better enjoy the game?

We are using mc realms if it makes a difference.

So after a recent comic depicting minecraft was posted on r/gaming (I think) I finally bit the bullet and bought minecraft. I've only had it two days but I'm loving every minute of it. The anxiety of surviving my first night (I died 3 times haha) set the stage for my experience. I feel safe in the house I built and I dig down to mine, but every time my tunnel stumbles upon a pre made cavern the anxiety returns. I set up cobblestone fences and use way too many torches to create a perimeter. I even have a specific hall way that I hear a zombie through the walls and it gets me every time. In the comic the character throws his sword at an enemy and then face palms. I didn't get that part until I saw an enemy that explodes running after me, so I decided to turn and attack it and accidentally hit Q, throwing my sword off a cliff. I'm sure I'm making a lot of mistakes and missing the "perfect" play through, but I'm loving every minute of it and can't wait to play again.
