Axes
Axes are the only tool that is not actually needed for anything but to lessen the work of a task. Axes are used for breaking blocks that use wood faster than using your fists. The better the materials the faster the wood cuts. the axe itself is only for breaking faster, useless...

Griefing
Griefing is another way of saying that someone has ruined or broken a structure. On multiplayer servers this can result in being banned and not being allowed back on the server.
10 Types of Griefing
- Stealing- This is the most basic, it is when you get into someones house and take items out of chests.
- Smashing-This is when you physically break a structure.
- Smashing(Chests)- This is when you break a chest and leave the items that were inside to de-spawn.
- Flooding- This is when you fill a structure with a liquid(lava or water)
- Encasing- This is when you surround a structure or area of importance with a hard to break substance(obsidian,stone,cobble etc.)
- Filling- This is the opposite of encasing because instead of surrounding a structure with the substance, you fill it.
- Filling(items/mobs)- Instead of filling an area with a substance you either spawn many mobs inside or fill with random items(mine carts, boats, items etc.)
- Replacement- This is when you take out a wall and replace it with something less appealing
- Burning- This is when you burn a place down with a flint and steel.
- False Blocks- There are different ways to do this such as putting a fence post under a stair block will make it impassible, or putting ice under half slabs to make people slide and many others.
Some people have even started griefing clans who go around and secretly grief servers for fun, some of these people post videos of griefing, such as- Team Avolition, icanhasgrief, Team Paradox and many more.

Modification
Modifications, or "mods" for short, are downloads that are used to change the game play for a more challenging and immersible session. There are mods for basically anything you can think of such as new places, mobs, movement and even ways to be god-like. Be warned though some mods are harder or longer to download than others, the same goes to getting rid of them. Some mods are still in the process of being made but are out for testing purposes, so don't blame the creator just watch for updates to get a mod that supports your version of Minecraft. There are a lot of places where mods can be found such as websites, video links and the Minecraft forums.

Mobs
A mob is a NPC that you can encounter during your adventures. These include monsters, villagers and animals. Some mobs like monsters can only spawn at night, and if in sunlight will burn (excluding spiders and creepers). Animals only spawn when there is enough light and grass for food. A villager can only spawn when there is a suitable house to live in nearby. When there are at least 15 villagers an iron golem will spawn to protect the village. There are even mobs that spawn at any level of light, such as a squid which will spawn anywhere as long as there is water. Lastly some mobs only spawn in a certain dimension. There are many types of mobs, some will help you, others kill you, and some are just to make it more exciting.

The Nether
The Nether exists in a completely different world from the normal world above. The terrain is dimly lit, full of lava streams flowing from the ceiling, sudden cliffs, and lava lakes, making it extremely dangerous to explore. The ceiling and the base of the Nether are made of bedrock. When re-entering the normal world, any distance covered in The Nether is multiplied by 8, effectively making The Nether a fast-travel zone that allows for greater distances to be covered in a short amount of time in the normal world. Water cannot be brought to the Nether due to the fact that all water placed will evaporate immediately due to the extreme heat and will instead turn into steam. If a Bed is placed at The Nether and is right-clicked on, it will explode with a lethal blast radius.
PORTAL TO NETHER |
Walking through a portal will not teleport the player―in order to use them, the player has to stand still inside the purple haze. Due to recent updates animals are now able to enter the nether through the portal. Strangely hostile mobs do not enter and animals when in portal teleport instantaneously.
