New minecraft player. Is there a good tutorial or guide?

My young kids really want me to play minecraft with them but they dont know how to play it. Ive no idea.
Is there a good guide anywhere you would recommend?

yeah there is a south park episode about it go watch it out

i'd recommend youtube if you need a simple guide on where to start. i looked up "starting guide minecraft" and found a couple videos about the latest version that might help you out. however, minecraft is pretty intuitive and its not too bad to just go in without and plan and google whenever you need a crafting recipe or have a specific question about something. thats how i first started playing

i wish i could be new to minecraft again.

Own experience is the best, try to do stuff, if you want help with anything, like potion brewing or something, you can search these things specifically on google.

beats them all in my opinion

Go Survival mode and play it its easy to learn

The best way to find tutorials or manuals is on Youtube. However, I have, for example, an outdated book on Minecraft where you can read a complete manual for beginners.

honestly i just recommend starting a new world and trying to figure stuff out for yourself, most basic things are explained to you, but its much much better to start playing by yourself and just learning through natural experience, i would say a tutorial, but i didnt really watch one myself, just play the game a bit, things like how to start the game are explained in the miniature "tutorial" of the game, like cutting down trees and stuff like that, but other than that i think its mostly just self-teaching, and its propably the most fun part of the normal game, or it was for me, i wish i could go back, but i also wouldnt go back, because now i have enough experience to be able to survive on hardcore relatively well.
