How to Minecraft
Create! Explore! Survive! The basics for getting into the game! Minecraft is a game about placing blocks and having adventures. It's a survival experience about staying alive in your own fantastic world, that's also a creative space to build almost anything you can imagine!
We know Minecraft can be intimidating to newcomers, so we've assembled this simple guide to get you started. Trust us, you'll be a miner expert in no time!
[…]
Starting Out and Survival Tips!
Select Singleplayer in the Main Menu, then Create New World. You'll see this:

The health bar (the hearty looking one). Don't let it drop to zero. Otherwise, it's game over!

The food bar (the tasty looking one). When it's full, your health will regenerate, so keep snacking!
[…]
The secrets to survival are having a steady supply of food and staying safe from monsters. Luckily, building a shelter is easy. Your hand is your first mining tool, so use it to hit trees or dirt until they turn into blocks. These blocks will appear in your toolbar, and you can then place them right in front of you.

Build your shelter, making sure there’s no way for monsters to get in! Later, you'll be able to build doors, windows, etc., but for now, focus on surviving! Most monsters come out at night, so stay inside until sunrise and you'll be safe. Animals are everywhere and only take a few attacks to finish off. They’ll drop meat which restores health. There's also apples, melons and other veggie options to be found if you're vegetarian […]. Hmmm, you've got a point.
The first shelter you build will likely look like this, er, 'cosy' one here. Hey, we all start somewhere!

In my research recently published in an open access journal, I used a popular language model, GPT-4 by OpenAI, to create simple summaries of scientific papers. These summaries generated by artificial intelligence (AI) used simpler language and more common words, like “job” instead of “occupation”, than summaries written by the researchers who had done the work.
In one experiment, I found that readers of the AI-generated summaries had a better understanding of the science than readers of the human-written summaries. A second experiment investigated what effects the simpler summaries might have on people’s perceptions of the scientists who performed the research. In this experiment, participants rated the scientists whose work was described in the simpler texts as more credible than the scientists whose work was described in the more complex texts.
Have you ever read about a scientific discovery and felt like it was written in a foreign language? New scientific information is probably hard to understand — especially if you try to read a science article in a research journal. In an era where understanding science is crucial for informed decision- -making, the abilities to comprehend and communicate complex ideas are more important than ever. Trust in science has been declining for years, and one contributing factor may be the challenge of understanding scientific jargon.
As AI continues to evolve, its role in science communication may expand, especially if using generative AI becomes more commonplace. Simple science descriptions are preferable to and more beneficial than complex ones, and AI tools can help. But scientists could also achieve the same goals by working harder to minimize jargon and communicate clearly — no AI necessary.
