Every Minecraft build,
farm and fix, explained.

Both, and where the two editions genuinely differ the guide says so rather than picking one. Recipes, redstone components and mob behaviour are the three areas where the editions part ways most often, so those are the places you will see an edition named explicitly.

Every guide is written against a released version of the game and the numbers in them come from that version rather than from an older write up. When a game update changes a value, the guides that depend on it are the ones that get revisited first.

Almost none of it. The building, farming, redstone and combat guides are vanilla, and the pages that do need something extra, such as the server setup and plugin guides, say what is required in their first paragraph.

The building and crafting sections assume nothing, and a first night starter house followed by a basic farm covers most of what stops new players. The redstone guides are the ones worth leaving until you are comfortable, because they build on each other.

The guides are free to read with no account and no limit. The only thing on this site that costs anything is the build marketplace, where the schematic packs are sold, and every build sold there also has a written guide you can follow for nothing.
