Im posting this for people to comment about there first time on minecraft. And your first fails. For me i saw seananners make commentary for it in 2010, So i bought it, naturally and like most people my first house was a cave. But it was pitch black in there because i couldnt figure out why my torches werent crafting.......I was using flint.... so i sat there trying to make torches with flint for like 20 minutes. Any ways i made my cave all woden and there were two trees outside of it (the outside of my cave was wooden) Anyways so i got my flint and steel and burnt down the two trees......Well it caught my house on fire- i didnt think that was possible at the time but i re-assure you it does. Dont play with fire, i learned it the hard way. Share your first time on minecraft and why you got it in the comments. I miss alpha, when i joined, So many fails but so much fun.
