Things You Should Know about
MineCraft and Survival Craft
10. Both Minecraft and Survival Craft have 2
modes of Play:
Survival - You must gather resource blocks and
fight mobs and monsters off.
Creative - You have limitless resource blocks
and no mobs or monsters to fight.
Modes of Play
11. Movement in Minecraft
In Minecraft you use directional buttons to
move around the landscape:
Jumping - Middle Button
Left - Left Button
Right - Right Button
Forward - Top Button
Backwards - Bottom Button
Flying is only in Creative Mode and you must
hold down Jump and Forward to go up.
12. Movement in Survival Craft
In Survival Craft, you use a touchpad at the
bottom left and right of the iPad screen to
navigate and turn/ adjust the camera view.
Tap Bottom Left Side once to Jump
The touchpads can be configured with the
traditional directional buttons similar to the ones
in Minecraft.
13. Movement in Survival Craft
The sneak button located mid way up the right
side of the iPad screen is great to keep you
from falling off or into things.
14. In both Minecraft and Survival Craft you use the
resources around you to craft items.
Your first step is to make a crafting table upon
which you can “craft” your items and a furnace
in which to smelt ore.
With these two items and the resources
available the possibilities are endless.
