I bought Minecraft for my son's 6 birthday. He is pretty into it (only allowing offline play) though he doesn't want to go deep into the earth. The game is surprisingly complicated so I found a clean set of tutorials on Youtube. Unfortunately. . .
As I was watching the tutorials (before him to ensure they were clean and then again with him) I became intrigued. I hate to admit it but I think I'm hooked. I had always avoided the game due to the look of voxels, but for some reason when I am playing I don't see chunky blocks. I see mountains, rivers, valleys, and caverns. I've been playing survival mode to add a bit of danger to my explorations since floating around a generated world would only be interesting for me for a time. We've barely scratched the surface (based upon a quick glance at the wiki) but I could see this lasting quite a while.
Any tips for a couple of beginners? Not necessarily gameplay stuff (I can find that on the wiki) but mods, textures, etc?
