The Tutorial is a world that introduces the player to the basic mechanics of Minecraft. Available only in the Legacy Console Edition, it allows newcomers to familiarize themselves with the game, primarily with the controls and the crafting system. The world and presentation differ depending on the version of the game it was created in; however, the basic tutorial mechanics remain the same. All versions begin with the player in a small, enclosed area where building, crafting, mining, and survival mechanics are introduced. The tutorial world contains twelve hidden chests with a music disc that the player can search for.

Concepts covered[]

The tutorial walks the player through:

Other tutorials for features such as beds, Nether portals, trading, boats, pistons, brewing, and fishing rods are scattered throughout the world, but are not part of the main tutorial.

Tutorial area[]

  • The tutorial world depends on the version of the game that it is created in.
  • When a player joins the tutorial world, they are initially spawned into a small forest area with an incomplete miner's shelter. This basic tutorial area is enclosed by a natural wall. The player cannot leave this area until they have completed or skipped the basic tutorial, which teaches them aspects of the game including controls, menus, crafting, smelting, and building. In early iterations of the tutorial, players could learn about basic redstone contraptions, fishing, and boats (TU1-TU11). This was changed in later updates (TU12+), as the basic tutorial area was simplified.
  • Once the player leaves the basic tutorial area, they can explore the rest of the tutorial world
  • From TU5 onward, twelve music discs were hidden throughout the tutorial world. Players could explore the tutorial world to find them all. They were often hidden in various manmade structures, such as the Minecraft logo.
  • From TU7 onward, the immediate area outside of the tutorial world featured sub-tutorials for features such as enchanting and brewing. As new features were added with updates, respective tutorial areas were added as well.
  • Tutorial worlds slowly became bigger and better. While early tutorial worlds only featured tutorials for basic features and a few builds, later tutorials included a swath of manmade structures for the player to explore, often resembling structures in real life.
