Before you can place a block, we need to know how to obtain a block. This post goes back to beginning things that you must know to play.

First, move forward by doing the ‘w’ key on your keyboard.

• W = Forward
• A = To the Left
• D = To the Right
• S = Backwards

Note that if you move your mouse, the character will turn changing which way you go when you move.

Look below you by moving your mouse under your character. A black perimeter will surround the block that you are targeting. Hold down the LMB (Left mouse button) to start mining. Hold it down. Other blocks will take longer depending on what type of block it is.

Let’s say you’re mining a block that looks green on the top. That is a grass block. When mining it under you, you will immediately fall into the hole that you made. Use the space button to jump. Jump while using ‘w’ to get out. Use the RMB (Right mouse button) to place the grass block. Some blocks, (such as the grass block) will change its form when mined without a tool with an enchantment called Silk Touch.
