Q&A for How to Play Minecraft in Real Life

Simply buy them from a shop. For example, you can buy foam swords at a shop that look like a Minecraft sword. Or buy things that are close enough and make them more realistic with your additions at home.

Show them this site. Tell them the coolest parts, your favorite parts, and something you think they'll like.

If you have YouTube on your phone or another device, watch videos on what Minecraft is like, then be creative and create things with paper.

It's not a video game you buy, it's just pretend. You follow the tips in the tutorial to pretend you're playing Minecraft in real life.

Yes, of course!

It would certainly be more realistic, because Minecraft houses already look like cabins.

You can play Minecraft on PC, Linux and macOS (computer edition), iPhone, Android, Gear VR, XPERIA Play, Fire TV, Apple TV, Windows 10 and Fire OS (Pocket Edition), Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PSVITA, PS4 and Wii U (console edition). There also is an Education Edition, made for Windows 10 and macOS.

Invite your family if they have time, preferably your siblings because they might know a thing or two about Minecraft already.

Buy some supplies or just play outdoors and use sticks as weapons. You can use rocks as building blocks or hide in trees/bushes. Just remember to not accidentally get hurt.

Of course. Minecraft is an all ages game.

Yes, you can if you would like to.

You can use a real book or make a paper one. Take paper and staple it together to make a book, or you could just find any book in your house to use.

You can but you don't have to. You could just make armor out of cardboard if you want.

Just try to find some interesting looking rocks and pretend those are diamonds.

It's the same for all Minecraft editions and versions!

You can make things out of cardboard and paper. They don't need to be big. As for space, you can pretend you're in a cave, and that you can't get out, or you can go outside. If your garden isn't big enough (like mine), you can go to a park or a town square to play. If you are worried about looking weird in public, don't. Looking weird to others is lots of fun, really!

Just use your foam swords or other items to tap or hit another entity (in your game), then, if that entity is playing with you (a friend playing as another user in PVP or a friend playing as a mob) they should move a paper heart from one pocket to another, depending on what you hit them with and if they're wearing any armor. If the entity that you are "killing" isn't a person (say a toy, or a dog, or a chicken) then you should just keep track of what their health is, and when it's gone, just say that they're "dead" and do what you'd like to do with their "items" and such.

If you had a popular enough YouTube channel to attract sponsors, then perhaps; but unless you're a marketing genius, your chances of doing this are akin to hitting the lottery. Even if you were able to do so, keep in mind that games' popularity wanes over time, so you'd find yourself unemployed when most people's interest has moved on to other, newer games.
