Mining

The game control to mine the diamond ore depends on the version of Minecraft: For Java Edition (PC/Mac), left click and hold on the block of diamond ore. For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap and hold on the block of diamond ore. For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press and hold the RT button on the Xbox controller.

Building

To make any building in Minecraft, you'll just need to place blocks to make walls. Place blocks on top of each other to build up some walls, and make a roof by placing blocks side-by-side on top. Most blocks will work for a preliminary house, whether it's Dirt, Wood, or Cobblestone.

In Minecraft, there are two main game modes: Survival and Creative. In Survival mode, the goal…is to survive. Players appear in a new world and are challenged to use its resources to build shelter, find food, and craft tools to help them construct the universe they want to live in.
