Fixing Minecraft when it breaks!

Don’t panic. If you get a black screen just run Minecraft and go to Options on the Login screen. Hit force update then login. This will download the latest versions of the game files and undo any damage you may have done.

Please Thumbs Up on YouTube if this works for you

    • Paste the command from the download page

NEVER get lost [Simple Torch Trick]

A really simple tip…

Always place torches on your left when exploring.

If you need to find your way home just follow the trail of torches behind you on your right.

This makes it REALLY easy to not get lost especially when starting out and finding lots of tunnels… making a decision about which way to turn is now quick and simple.

And… I got the URL wrong for The Shaft podcast —- it is actually http://theshaftpodcast.blogspot.com/ — it’s great… you should have a listen.
