I want to play minecraft but it confuses me…
What I don't understand is the whole servers thing, the whole mod thing, and like is it multiplayer like open world where you bump into other people? Or are you alone? What server should I play on?
I was going to watch a YouTube video on it but there are like a million different ones which confused me even more!
There must be someone who can explain it all in layman terms!
Just play it, you can do anything you want. You will figure it out as you go. It's great fun especially if you have a creative mind and playing it for the first time is the best when you don't have a clue what to do!
I very fun game if you have a creative mind as said above, so you really have to find the fun in the game by yourself as there's no "goal" or "objective" in the game itself. The servers are created by the players themselves so you'll have to google for servers or create one for you're selfe and friends. (require a powerful computer and internet though) The mods are installed by yourself but mostly, they only work in singel player mode. So if you want to play online you'll have to make sure the mods you're using work online.
Your a man that crafts thing your own house your own city it's more of a game that comes you and get you calm when bored I don't get the game norther but it sounds like I'm right
Minecraft is for a bunch of fail trolls and people who are bored
when i mean fail trolling i mean so bad its literally as dull as adam sandler
When you select a Minecraft server you put its code into Minecraft and assuming the server is currently running and accepting new players you will 'join' it.
You will then appear in the server spawn as if you were playing a single player world. Feel free to pick a direction to walk in and get started playing.
Anyone currently connected to that server can see you and interact with you and what you build. They might be a *very* long way away from you however, and the server does not necessarily tell them where you are, so you could be on a low-population server a long time before you find anyone.
What you do in the server is persistent, it sticks around, but be aware that many servers occasionally reset themselves, reverting *everything* and everyone back to start.
As for the choice of server, that's really up to you. I would recommend any server that has anti-griffing rules in place for a start, otherwise you will run into someone whose only goal in Minecraft is to ruin everyone else's fun.

Mods are add-ons to the PC version of Minecraft that changes something about the game. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of mods, so there's no easy way to describe them.
A server can host a modded version of Minecraft. If it does you will need those mods before you can enter the server, though I believe some servers auto-download the mods for you.
