We've got you covered. There isn't an ingame tutorial (yet), but here is some material to help you get started in game.
[Wiki] Minecraft Crafting Guide - recipes for many in-game items.
[Video] How to Survive your First night [in Minecraft] - gives excellent insight on the basic aspects of minecraft. Building, crafting, etc.
[Text] Mind the Gap - Rock Paper Shotgun's own Minecraft guide to getting started.
Start small. Choose a project that you can achieve, then branch out and experiment!
Alright. I'm ready.
Cool. You can join the server at minecraft.xantar.net. The server works on a light-moderation, heavy-consequence basis: if you do something that really ruins the gameplay for other players, you can be handed a lengthy account ban on the server. Offenses and account suspensions on the Minecraft server are in no way affiliated, linked or related to your Whiskey media/Tested account - they're two separate entities, and you will not receive a ban on the forums for anything done on the Minecraft server.
To get into the Minecraft server, you'll first need to register and purchase a paid account at minecraft.net. After you have done so, you can either play the the game through the browser, or download the client .exe from the Minecraft website. Please note that you'll need Sun Microsystem's Java to play Minecraft. Once you have accessed the game (either through the desktop client or through your browser), you will want to click on 'Multiplayer' and type in the server address, minecraft.xantar.net.
@Rallier: from talking to xantar on the server for a little, he said theres some bad weather happening where we is, IE trees falling down, power being off for a while.
@darkdragonsoul99: You don't need to ever worry about knowing if your structure is ugly or not, we will most likely put a sign on the building saying its ugly or post about in on this thread. The only one who reserve judgement for actually taking down a building are Xantar and the other Ops, and even as an Op i will always ask Xantar to remove a building. If your building is giant and ugly, but its in the middle of nowhere then your fine, but if its giant and ugly and right at the main spawn or infringing on someone else's building spot, then we have a problem. I hope i answered your concerns
Man I haven't dropped by the minecraft server in a long time, maybe after I get through all these exams I'll drop in for some fun. Do I still have building abilities?
@LtSquigs: yeah if you need promoted, I can vouch for you're adv builder status at least :) Sky Island is still standing, the wolves of wolfsylvania must scare the griefers away ;)
@nick: Kits only give you a bit of material and you can only use the command every 10 min. It is more for when you are in a pinch. the kit command is also the only way to get material that can only be found on the nether on the server.
Server Status: ONLINE (8/1/12) Running 1.3.1 Vanilla
