I was clueless as to what I was supposed to do with the Iron Ore when I first mined it...

When the mineshafts came into play, I was so confused as to why I couldn't remember placing planks and fences down. I didn't even know how to make fences.

When I started, I didn't see a "Survival/Creative" switch, so I just started in survival.
When I started playing Minecraft, I was told to just buy it. Don't ask any questions, just buy, log on, and start a new world. I had no idea what I was doing, and It took me forever to figure out that I had to make a crafting table.

I love Minecraft. And when I told my friends about it, I told them to only use survival, because creative isn't fun.

They still haven't played on Creative
