After the ponies learned how they can use their abilities in this world, they decided to build a shelter before nightfall. Twilight was busy looking through 'Minecraft' when she discovered a bunch of blank pages at the end of the book. She went to the first of the blank pages and read the passage at the top.

Chapter five- Crafting Recipies

When you first read this guide, you may not know what to do with your materials and resources. That is what these pages are for. When you find an item or block, these pages will fill up with information about crafting with them. It will also tell you where to find each resource used and what is used to get it. The next chapter will be about the various Animals, hostile Animals, and creatures from other dimensions.

It ended there. Twilight decided to put a block of wood next to the book and found something amazing. She could see the first few pages slowly fade in information. Twilight could see a crafting table with a block of wood on it and a wooden plank come out. She could see the wood being burned to create something called 'charcoal'. She could also see a different kind of wood with something called a 'cocoa pod' growing on it.

Twilight was busy looking at the things you can do with wooden planks when she saw the tool recipies. She needed sticks and planks. Twilight only had a few blocks, so she decided to see what her friends were doing. She walked up to where Pinkie and Applejack were bucking trees "Hello girls! How many resources have you collected?"

"Hi Twilight! Me and Applejack here have bucked that many trees." Pinkie responded and pointed her hoof to a very large clearing. "That should be a big enough clearing to build a house." Twilight told them. "We should get started on that soon. We also need to build a farm so we can eat. I know we have a lot of food already, but we are going to get hungry if we work ourselves too hard. You two should come with me. We need to find the others."

The three friends set off to find Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow. Pinkie's thoughts were racing when she started thinking about the things she can do in this world. 'I can make food, build things, throw parties, eat the food, look for new things, break the fourth wall, read that weird book, make friends, see new things, meet animals, throw parties for animals...' Her thoughts were endlessly continuing when she saw a bunch of animals that look like sheep start walking to the right. "We should go that way!" She yelled. "I bet Fluttershy is leading those animals!" Pinkie took off. She ran through the forest until she saw Fluttershy leading the animals into a fenced-in area. She saw Fluttershy open a gate and lead the animals inside. Pinkie could hear Fluttershy whispering to the animals "Thats right, just head on in to the safe place... that is... if you want to."

"HI FLUTTERSHY!" Pinkie screamed after Fluttershy closed the gate. Fluttershy shrieked and tried to hide herself. "Its okay Fluttershy, we just were looking for you!" Pinkie was still yelling. "There ya are Fluttershy!" Applejack came running to where they were. "Pinkie was runnin' too fast for us to catch up."

Twilight came walking in last. "Hi Fluttershy. I see you found some animals. I actually just read about them. Here, look at this." Twilight showed the ponies her book.

Chapter six- Animals and Creatures (Mobs)

Animals and Creatures inhabit the world of Minecraft. There are Passive, Hostile, and Neutral 'Mobs'. Passive Mobs include: Cows, Pigs, Sheep, Chickens, Bats, Ocelots, Mooshrooms, Villagers, and Squids. The Neutral Mobs are: Wolves, Zombie Pigmen, and Endermen. The Hostile Mobs are these dreaded creatures: Creepers, Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, Spider Jockeys, Cave Spiders, Blazes, Ghasts, Magma Cubes, Silverfish, Slimes, Witches, Wither Skeletons, Zombie Villagers, Wither Bosses, and the most fearful of all, the legendary Ender Dragon. There are Mobs you can use and tame though, the Utility Mobs are: Snow Golems and Iron Golems. The Tameable Mobs are: Ocelots (they become Cats) and Wolves (they become Dogs). The Utility Mobs can be created and can protect you. The Dogs can protect you, and teleport to you unless you make them sit. Cats come in three colors, can't protect you, can fall and never get hurt, and teleport to you unless they are sitting. The information on each Mob is on the next page, and the next chapter will be about Farming.

Twilight hovered the book back into her saddlebags. She thought that some of the hostile 'Mobs' looked scary, and others weird. Twilight also learned that if she put her hoof on the Mob, it would give information about it on the next page. She decided not to learn about the 'legendary' Mob called the Ender Dragon. She saw Fluttershy start to go back to her sheep and decided to let her stay. "Fluttershy, you stay here. We're going to find Rainbow so we can set up a shelter." Fluttershy nodded and wished them well.

The sky. The clear blue sky. Square clouds that she can't touch. A fake sky. Nothing but sky. Rainbow was soaring in the air, thinking of her home in Ponyville. She could see the ground below her. Nothing but trees, water, and dirt. Maybe the occasional lava pool, but mostly the former. She decided that was enough flying for the time being, and started to head back when something caugt her eye. It was houses that were nearby in a large, grassy field. 'Why didn't I see that before?' she thought 'I think i'll keep a mental note of this place.' She kept flying back to the others after checking out some of a beach next to an ocean. She eventually made it back, but with scattered thoughts. She didn't understand how something like that was there. She heard somepony calling her name and she descended to the forest below.

"RAINBOW!" Rarity was yelling to her. "COMING!" she called back. 'What does she want now? Lets hope that she didn't learn how to make clothes here.'

---

"Rainbow has to be around here somewhere, but where?" Twilight was thinking out loud. "We have to get a shelter before the sun goes down." Twilight looked at the sky and saw the sun start sinking from the top of the sky. "We have to hurry." she told Applejack and Pinkie.

"RAINBOW!" they heard Rarity calling to Rainbow Dash. "COMING!" the three ponies heard as a reply. Twilight quickly ran to where she could see Rarity looking straight up. Twilight could see a cyan blur headed right for them. "Rarity!" Twilight called out. Rarity turned her head and waved to her friends and walked over to them. "Rarity, we need you in the clearing where Pinkie and Applejack were bucking trees."

"I'll be right on it. But first I need Rainbow to get that weird block thats floating up there. I can't reach it with my Magic, and I think it will be useful." Rarity pointed to where the floating block was. Twilight could see that it was gray and not falling. She could see Rainbow flying right in front of them and land not-so-gracefully. Rarity explained to Rainbow about the weird block and to try and bring it down. While Rainbow was working with the block, Applejack and Pinkie started talking to Rarity about house ideas and Twilight was looking up the floating block. Her book said it was a block called 'stone' and could only be collected by a pickaxe.

Twilight called out to Rainbow about not being able to break it easily and told her she needed a pickaxe. Rainbow and Rarity kept a mental note about the block and set out to where the clearing was. Fluttershy beat them there and she managed to get more animals and keep them in pens. Fluttershy now has Sheep, Pigs, and Chickens, and she moved their pens closer to the clearing.

"Okay girls, we need to make a house or shelter with the blocks we have. Pinkie and Applejack, you two break down some of the wood you collected so we can build with it. Rainbow and Fluttershy, you girls place the blocks and build a basic, one-story home. Rarity, you and I will be levitating the planks over to Fluttershy and Rainbow so the house can be built. Now lets go!"

The six ponies worked quickly and eventually managed to build a twelve-by-twelve one-story home and broke a hole for the door. They walked inside and dug out the floor and replaced dirt with wood. Twilight placed her crafting table in a corner and used her book to make a door. There was some daylight left after the house was built, and Fluttershy still had some fences to use. While the other ponies worked and ate, Twilight curled up and read the next chapter of her book.

Chapter seven- Farming

Farming is a very important part of survival. If you want to eat healthy foods like bread, carrots, potatoes, and melons, you have to find and farm these foods. To get bread you need normal seeds, which can be found in large grass. To get carrots and potatoes, you need to find a Village and plant them. Melons are the hardest to find. You can only get them by Trading or finding them in Chests that are scattered throughout Abandond Mine Shafts. Pumpkins aren't edible, but by finding their seeds or the actual pumpkins in Minecraft, you can farm and cook them. To farm you need a Hoe and some dirt. You have to till the dirt with the hoe and plant the seeds in the dirt. Then you just wait until the plants grow. Growing plants near water helps them grow faster. There are special plants, cacti and sugarcane. They get taller as they grow and are both green. A cactus can only be grown on sand and sugarcane can only be grown next to a water source. The next chapter will be about Baking.

Twilight quickly found the chapter where the basic tools could be made and created her first wooden hoe. She heard a loud ding after finishing the recipie. 'I must tell the others about this new Achievement!' Twilight thought to herself. She ran out to her friends and told them about farming and her new Achievement. They all eventually got their wooden hoes and began looking for seeds. They found a field with many blocks of tall grass and began breaking them. The total number of seeds they found was fifty three seeds. The ran back to their shelter and Fluttershy built a garden next to the house for farming seeds in order to get food. Twilight quickly learned about seeds and their levels of growth. She learned how to get the wheat and make the bread. The ponies were so busy building and getting materials that they didn't realize that the night would come soon. The seeds were fully grown and each pony managed to get plenty of wheat and some seeds for making more wheat.

"Twilight what do we do with this wheat we collected?" Rainbow asked. "We can't just wait for you to finish replanting all of the seeds. Its getting dark!"

"I know Rainbow, but the seeds will grow and we will probably have some more wheat by morning." Twilight was replanting the seeds and eventually sunset came. "There. All of the seeds are planted. Lets go make some bread."

Twilight taught the girls how to make bread and they all got one loud ding. The girls were amazed at how many Achievements they got and ate their bread in peace during the beggining of their first night. Twilight and Rarity used a light spell so they didn't have monsters popping up inside their homes. "Well, this day went well didn't it?" Twilight asked the others. They all nodded and began to have their usual chatter that could be heard from the monsters that were ready to begin their nightly hunt.
