Well, I've hit a blank about what to do next on the multiplayer, bought the PS4 version second hand and, on the spur of the moment, started a single player game on the PC. So, here are some thoughts, in no particular order, on things I've learnt and some early conclusions.....
If you play on a laptop with integrated graphics it will lag like a mother. Take a break shut MC down and let the machine get it's breath back. Lag also occurs the more frequently you warp
Bart gave us a (much appreciated by us noobs) a really easy start with the diamond chest freebies and free food. SP survival mode for the first time is a bit different!
Creepers blowing up will kill you and leave a big hole in the ground
Minecraft is addictive
Going from heavily armoured in MP to starting in single player, remember you don't have armour!!!!
Always, always, always mine coal for the XP
Once you're secure in SP, mine your ass down to L12 asap as that's where there's more iron ore and shiny stuff but pay attention to the minimap
F7 is your friend
Torches are your friend
Minecraft is addictive
If you have the ring that gives you water etc be careful...if you've been underwater and surface make sure you come down fully to ground level or you will be kicked for flying
AFK farming will upset the server admin sorry Bart
Find animals, pen animals, breed animals, kill animals, cook and eat dead animals
Grow barley, grind on the crafting table and make bread in the furnace...easy peasy
Minecraft is addictive
Minecraft on the PS4 after playing on the PC sucks big time
Villager trading can be very lucrative if you find the right villager and work out how to refresh the inventory - I'm a emc multimillionaire thanks to this!
Redstone mechanisation is fun but frustrating...anyone watching a YT video then trying it will realise why they do it in creative mode!
Bee breeding is difficult but absorbing
Minecraft is addictive
Tunnelling is a great way to while away a few hours
Going back to a bucket in SP after having the "water ring" (can't remember it's name) in MP is a right pain in the arse
With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I hadn't discovered the energy convertor and collector as early as I did. Don't get me wrong I think the convertor is a great idea but coupling them to energy collectors for freebies is a bit cheesy. Why do it then?...because I can.
I'll update this as and when I think of other things
oh, and did I mention that Minecraft is addictive
