-We're gonna try to do this together. -Yes.
-This might not go well. -Help me. [chuckles]
-Right? -Help me. -Are you listening to me?
-Tell me it's gonna be OK. Oh, it's getting dark. The sun's going down.
-No! -Ahh! Hurry up. -Oh, but don't break the door.
-Don't break the door. I'm gonna open the door,
and whack it, and then close it again. -I don't think
you should do that. -I'm gonna do it! -Oh no!
[Nintendo Minute jingle]
[Krysta] -Hi guys, welcome back to Nintendo Minute. Today, we're doing something
that probably a lot of you have done, but maybe a lot of you haven't.
[dreamy synth music] -Maybe not. -We are playing Minecraft
for the very first time ever, ever, ever. Yes, yes. -Yes. Literally ever,
but there's a lot of people, maybe, who have been wondering, "Well, what's the deal
with this Minecraft stuff?" -What is the deal? -So, you can learn through our,
sort of bumbling today. Yes. -But we also have this book to help us out.
Minecraft for Beginners. -Wonderful. -That's what we are,
and you studied. -We're gonna be using this. -You studied a lot.
-I've been reading. -You've put some bookmarks in here, very studious.
The best way to prepare for a video game is to read a book, as I always say.
But, here we are on the menu. One of the first things we have to figure out is what
kind of a game are we doing? So, survival, you're actually, fighting enemies
and of course you have to, stay alive. Um, creative is a bit more free-form.
-Like, open. -You're building stuff. Um, you don't have to worry
about the enemies as much. We're gonna do survival and, um, on Nintendo Switch you also get
the Mario Mash-up Pack, -That's right. -which is really cool
but we are not doing that. So, that's down the road. We're doing original Minecraft.
And you're playing with me. We're gonna do split screen. -We're gonna try
to do this together. This might not go well. We'll see.
Oh, "Join as Player 2." That me. -Please. Yes.
[music ends]
[Kit gasps] It's you. -It's me.
-Where are you? Oh, there you are. [chuckles]
-Hi, it's me. Look at me. -It's you. OK.
-So, we need to make, we've talked about making a crafting table,
and finding some trees. -OK, so maybe we should do that.
Do you see any trees in the area?
[soft synth music]
In this book, they talk about how you can have an unlucky spawn,
like, I think we have. We are on, like, a deserted island in the middle of nowhere.
-But there's sheep on the island -But there's nothing else. [laughter]
-Oh. -So, um,
-Should we start again? -I guess we could make a smoke signal,
or we could start a new game, and hope it works out better, -Oh, how sad.
-which is what we're gonna do. That was interesting, though.
-And then we gotta-- -Oh my gosh, I'm underwater. -Oh. Oh, But there's--
-OK. Well, but this-- -Oh, there's trees. -Oh, here we go. Yes. OK.
-I need to join now. -You need to join, yes. -It me again. Yes.
-Yes, come back. -Oops. -Please. Please, please, please.
-Yes, OK. -Where are you?
Underwater as well? Oh my gosh. -Oh no. Ahh. -Oh, I see you.
It's, swim! -I'm here. [laughter]
The same button for jumping seems to be for swimming. All right.
All right, trees. Let's get going on these trees. -Well, where did you go?
-It seems to be-- -Oh, there you are. Hi.
-I don't really seem to have an obvious way of keeping track of you.
-Yeah. -So, I think we do need to stick together.
-Yeah. -You know? -OK. You're getting the trees?
-Which, oh. [chuckles]
Oh, right, but you don't have to hit me. Let's both get ten.
-Oh, both of us get ten? -Let's both get ten. -All right, all right. OK.
-Because who knows? I think we're gonna need 'em, because eventually,
we're gonna make, we're gonna make a pickaxe. Isn't that exciting?
-Oh, we need that, yeah. Or else we're just gonna be using this, like, sad--
-Now, the book also explained, you know, sort of a day and night cycle.
-Yeah, exactly. We have to survive the night. -Enemies,
enemies come out at night. -Come out at night. We have to build a shelter.
-Right. -I read the book, too. -We need to build sort of
a shanty, shed. -It says that we should build it in high ground, as well.
-Oh, OK. I'll look, right up there I see some high ground. -So, we need to,
we need to get a little, like, uh, on a hill is probably a good idea.
-I like the little creatures in the forest. -You're not fully
harvesting this wood. -I'm not committed to this at all.
[laughter] I'm easily distracted. OK, I have ten now. I have ten.
-The enemies are gonna co- all right. Let's go up to our high ground.
-And build our little shack. -What is the highest ground? It's kind of still woods-
Oh, look at this. It's a snow-- -Oh wow, it's like snow-capped.
-Oh, this is nice and open though.
-We should probably build it here, no? -Wood planks.
All right. Watch this. -Drag your wood onto the crafting grid.
-Craftable. Oh, here we go. -Crafting.
OK. -"Spruce wood planks", yes. Oh, I made it.
-Select. -OK. -Crafting.
-Oh, you can make the crafting table. -Maybe I should do that.
-Can I? Oh, I can. Yes!
OK, and then I think-- -OK.
-Uh, oh, place. -And I can also make, I can make a stick.
-ZL place. You can make a stick? -I can make a stick. 18 sticks. -Oh, I'm proud of you. OK.
Um, use.
Uh-uh, you can, I think you can use this, too. Maybe we both did not--
-We don't need to, oh. -Just in the middle of this snowbank.
-Make a crafting table. -Uh, buh, buh, wai-hold on. [laughter]
Craft sticks. Oh yes, we need sticks. -Oh, we do need sticks.
I knew it. -Good. -OK, made some sticks.
-OK. -I made four sticks. -And then,
-Eight sticks. -Oh, I can make a wooden sword, a wooden pickaxe--
-Oh, you can make a loom? -a shovel. [chuckles]
-So, it looks like it looks like there's different tools for, like, ground or, like, rocks.
-Yeah, but we also need to, like, fight the enemies later. -Or chopping wood.
Maybe the axe is less of a weapon, more for chopping wood, right?
Maybe, right? Maybe, right, right, right?
-Why are you talking to me like that? [laughter]
-Help me. -Right? -Help me.
-Are you listening to me? -Tell me it's gonna be OK. -You're not gonna make it.
Oh, it's like a sign. What does the sign say? -Hurry up! Hurry up.
Do something! -OK, I made a pickaxe and I'm gonna make a shovel.
I'm gonna make a sword. -Oh no, I threw that at you. I need that.
-There we go. -Did you do it? Oh yeah, OK. -Should I build it around
your crafting table? -I feel like I can pick this up somehow.
-Oh, you can pick it up? OK. -But I don't know how. -How big do we need to make it?
Well, we both need to just be able to cower inside while these enemies
[laughter] do whatever, right? -Oh, oh, OK.
-Well, that's fine. -That's pretty big enough, right?
-Oh, this is good. Yeah. -Yeah. I don't have anymore. [laughter]
-Yeah, you go chop wood. -OK. -We'll, like, take turns, right?
-Yeah. I'll be over here. -Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Wait, how did you equip your, your, uh-- -You, you,
-Oh, inventory. -L and R, will cycle between the stuff in your--
-Oh, so now I can use my, I have a pickaxe but not a regular axe.
-What were you saying about a pickaxe? -I was like,
"Can I chop the wood with a pickaxe?" It seems--
-Don't get lost, though. We have to stick together.
-Oh no. What If I get lost? -Oh, I'm out. -What if I get lost at night--
-That was really fast. -and then the things come to get me?
-Well, it's still nice and daytime. -Oh, you're right there. OK.
-I'm gonna come over here. -I'm just gonna stay in this general area.
-Your first night. -I know. I was-- -Try, oh, oh, try to find
the high ground. Build a small 7x7 block shelter. -We already, oh, 7x7?
-Is it 7x7? -No. Is it 8x8? If it's 8x8,
we're ruined. -Well, what if it's 6x6? [laughter]
-Follow the directions. Oh, it's getting dark. The sun's going down.
-No! -Ahh! Hurry up! -There's only three blocks.
-How was I supposed to do this in one? Oh, chop faster.
-It's getting dark and we have one row of-- [laughter]
-Uh, it's better than nothing, right? -Is it, though?
-Uh, I don't really know what we're up against.
And that's the other thing I bookmarked, is, like, the enemies.
I read about the, the creeper. We all know the creeper. Even I know the creeper.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-I mean, we have some weapons, too. So like, is it--
-We have, like, oh my gosh. It's getting so dark. Hurry. -I need to craft this back into,
-Hurry. Oh, now I have a lot. Oh. We're gonna be OK. We're gonna be OK.
-I'm gonna use, I'm gonna, oh my gosh. I'm nervous. -Oh my gosh. Hurry, hurry,
hurry. Just, make sure it makes a whole, -Oh yeah, now I have a lot, too.
-can you make a door of some sort? -Oh, whoops.
-Is that something you can do? -Use.
-OK, OK. We have this fully around us. I'm gonna-- -Door. No.
Is this a door? A spruce door, yeah! -Uh, you can make that?
-Yeah, I got that. -OK, make that. -OK. Do you want anything else?
-Ah, no. -OK, also a trap door. [laughter]
I don't know why we would need that. -I don't think that's
gonna work out for us. [laughter]
-I don't, you're, you're planning to get rid of me, I think.
[laughter] -Why is it a trap?
-The true enemy was here all along. It was you.
-Wait, did you just, like, enclose me in here? -No, no, I fell out.
I'm coming back. So, so, [chuckles]
I think what you should do is, like, chop one of these down and put the door there.
-Yeah, I think so, too. -Right? Yeah.
-This is a-- -What is that? What is this? -What?
What happened there? -Oh, did I put the door there? -No, why did this,
who dug this hole? Now I'm getting scared. Oh my gosh, what is that?
-Was that me? -Is that a cow? Oh, what is that? I see bad guys.
Hurry up. Get back in! -I am in! Calm down. [chuckles]
-Build, build, build. -OK, the door.
-"Craft doors out of wood planks. -Yes.
-Place them in your Hot Bar." Yes. -Yes.
-"Stand outside, outside of your shelter. -Oh.
-Aim at the empty block on the ground and hit 'Use item'."
Place.
Oh, I just placed it. So, can I,
oh, I can open and close the door.
OK. -OK. -That's good. Um,
-Oh, here we go. -Um, I'm, I'm low on spruce.
OK, good. -This is good, right? We're sealed off here--
-Well, we can't see a thing, so.
-But we have a shelter. -We can jump. [chuckles]
Do this thing, like, when you're trying to look in the cookie jar.
-This is an idea I have all the time. -What's in here?
Oh, you can, oh, I know. You can stand on the crafting table.
[laughter] -I don't, oh, see, what is that?
-I wanna stand on the crafting table. -Over there, that--
[Krysta gasps] -Somebody! Oh no. -Oh my, ahh, get down! Get down.
-Don't open the door. -Where's the sword? -Don't open the door.
-Maybe we could, oh, it's trying to get in. -Oh no, it's coming over here!
Ahh. Can we fight it through the door? -Oh, I hit it!
-No, don't get in my way. -Ahh, no. -You're gonna get,
you don't have a, do you have a sword? Yes, OK. -Yes, I have a sword,
but don't break the door. -I'm gonna open the door and whack it, and then,
close it again. -I don't think you should do that.
-Oh no. -I'm gonna do it! Get away. Ahh! Oh my gosh!
-It's got its own weapon. Oh, OK. We got it. -Oh,
-Get back in, get back in, get back in. Get in! -Close the door. Close the door.
-OK. -Close the door. Oh, now, there's a cow. That's a cow.
-That's a cow. -That's good. -That's a friend.
-I'm just gonna step outside for one minute, just to see. -OK.
-Oh, there's like some scary-- -I'm gonna, that's that thing.
Why don't you go look at that and then if it's scary, just run back? Go!
[laughter] -Why do I have to do it? It doesn't look--
-Oh, there's a bunch of them. Ahh, run away! -Oh no!
-Come back, come back. -Oh, what is that? -Come back, come back.
Is it following you? -I think so! -Do you know where the door is?
-Yes. Get inside. -Let's go, go, go, go, go, go. -Close the door.
-Ahh! Is it there? -Oh no, it's definitely followed me in here.
Eww, it is. Ahh! -Oh no, it's falling in here! -No.
Ew, it's a spider. Ew. Where's that other one, though? [chuckles]
-Oh, did I kill-- Oh. -Oh, we got it. Oh, what did it drop though?
-Oh, it's outside. -All right, I'm gonna go get it. -I, I wanna go get it.
-No, I got it. -Come on! You made me go all the way out there, you wo--
-You didn't fend it off! -Let's slam the door in your face.
-I can open the door, too. -Slam it in your face. Oh-- -String, OK. Fish, oh,
-a fishing rod. -Oh, that's cool. -I wanna make another,
no, I don't need to. You see these weapons, -You don't wanna overdo it.
-these weapons do break. -Ooh. -Eventually they're, like,
oh, you need to get, you know, stone weapons, -Like stone and stuff.
That makes sense. -or better weapons. Is that the moon?
[chuckles] Is that supposed to be the moon, just a square?
-The square moon. Hello. -A square in the sky, that's cool.
-You can get overwhelmed. -But it's OK. [laughter]
It's not bad right now. -It's OK to, all right, let's get this. Let's get this.
-Ahh. Oh, that was you. OK.
-Oh, what's that? I heard something. -I don't know.
Oh, here comes a spider. Away. Oh my gosh.
Ahh!
Oh my gosh, what's this little one? Ahh, it's fast.
-Oh, it wants us to play. -Get it, flail. Oh my gosh.
-Oh, I really need to get back inside. -I need to go back inside.
-Oh, you don't have any hearts either, let's go back inside and close the door.
-The sun's coming up. -Go back inside. Close the door. -Get in. Get in. Get in.
-Slam that door! -Whoo. All right. Oh my gosh. [chuckles]
-I think it's going pretty well. [laughter]
You're like, "We can take them." -Do you agree? -Yeah.
-No, we're fine. We regenerated our health. -And then we panic-run
back inside. -I wasn't even that low on health.
-There's the sunrise. OK. -Oh yay. We made it through the night.
-Look at how many spiders there are in there.
-Why is there a hole in the ground?
-It said that the spiders hang out in the woods. All right, maybe we can wrap up
just by checking out the nice vista and patting ourselves on the back.
-I think so. I mean, I think we did pretty good, honestly. -All right. Hugely successful.
-Eh, eh. -Looking out over our kingdom here.
We can see our junkie little house. [laughter]
-Hey! -Come up. I'm up here. -Home sweet home.
Where are you? Oh, I see you. -I'm right here.
-Yay. -There it is. We did it.
-We really did. Oh, what's over here. -One day survivors.
We did it. -We did it. -Good for us.
-And we built a house and everything. -This book is helpful.
-Wow, this is actually really pretty. Look at this. -Yeah, I know.
All right. So, uh, I guess we'll save it here. Maybe we'll pick this up another time. Yeah.
-Yeah. Tell us if you like this video, and maybe we'll continue it.
[laughter] -Maybe we'll survive for another day. We'll see.
[Kit grunts] Oh, also tell us if you guys have played, or are new.
-Yeah. -Well, we wanna know, yeah. OK, we're gonna wrap it up
for today and remember: -Nintendo Minute is never a minute.
-We'll see you next week. Bye. -Bye.
