    Episode 1: Surviving Your First Night in Minecraft
    Dec 8 2025

    Top of the morning, lads! In the very first episode of Gaming With Ben, host Benjamin Kollmann-Jines, a sophomore at Dr. Howard Fuller Collegiate Academy, breaks down one of the biggest challenges every Minecraft player faces: surviving your very first night.


    Ben shares the mistakes he made when he started—like thinking he had “tons of time” before the sun dropped—and walks new players through simple, beginner-friendly strategies to avoid panic, stay safe, and start the game the right way. From gathering wood the moment you spawn to building a quick shelter before sunset, Ben keeps it real, practical, and fun.


    By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to:

    • Gather early resources without getting overwhelmed
    • Craft basic tools within the first few minutes
    • Build a fast, effective starter shelter
    • Stay confident instead of stressed as night falls


    Whether you’re totally new to Minecraft or helping a friend get started, this episode sets the tone for a calmer, smoother, and more enjoyable first world.


    Follow the show, share it with a friend who’s just starting Minecraft, and keep mining, keep crafting — you’re super goated for tuning in!
