Minecraft - Brewing and Enchanting Introduction

There hasn't been a post on here about Minecraft yet! Its probably time to change that!

With the new update for the Xbox360 looming I thought it best to do some write ups on the brewing and enchanting functionality as it can sometimes be overlooked but can be a very helpful and useful thing to know about.

I documented this briefly on the oldgamerz forum but I hope to go much further in depth here.

Brewing involves making potions which can perform all variety of purposes such as health regeneration of poison potions which you can throw at mobs or other players.

 

Enchanting allows you to enchant weapons and Armour with different enchantments to improve them. Some enchantments cause you to generate more loot and others can help protect you or increase the efficiency of a weapon.

 

I started by making a new world using a random seed. the seed which was used is -24564927761827150150 it has some quite impressive cliffs and the spawn is nearby hilly, desert and swamp biomes which makes mining for different resources easy. I made myself a quick shelter pictured above and kitted it out with some basic furnishings to keep me going.

 

Thats my quick introduction done watch this space for more information!
