Minecraft term index:
Stack up—jump and place a block underneath you to raise yourself higher.
Inventory—extra place to keep stuff instead of in the hot bar.
Crafting—make an item like putting four planks of wood in a 2x2 square to make a crafting table, or harder items, which require a crafting table.
Crafting table—used to make large objects, likes swords, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, bows and arrows +more.
Mob—name for every creature other than players in the game. Mobs can be broken into three groups: Hostile, Neutral and Peaceful. Hostile mobs are the monsters, like creepers, zombies, skeletons, blazes and ghasts. (Also the killer bunny, but that has a 1 in 100 chance of spawning in, so not really mentioned.) Neutral mobs are creatures that don't attack you unless provoked. Zombie Pig-men, wolves, endermen and (if you have the mod) dragons fall into this category, with endermen being the easiest to provoke. You have to look at an enderman from the upper legs up to cause it to become angry, or you can attack it. Wolves are a little harder to provoke since you have to attack them, but when one gets angry, all the others in the pack get angry and can swarm you, which isn't good. Dragons are the same, except the whole group of them won't attack you. (Unless you attack their trainer; that's a whole other story!) Zombie Pig-men are quite the same as wolves, except they are far more lethal. For one thing, if you attack a zombie pig-man, all the others in the area will become angry, even if you move from that area, because the angry pig-men will chase you and set off the others. Second, they wield gold swords. Gold swords are the second worse sword in the game, but it's still a sword. Third, pig-men are faster than a player at a normal walk. Not quite as fast as a sprinting player, but baby zombie pig-men are faster than a sprinting player. Baby pig-men also wield gold swords. Spiders are a special case. During the day, they are peaceful unless attacked or being controlled by a skeleton (provided the skeleton has a helmet). In light levels of 7 or below, (or at night or in a cave), they will attack you. Peaceful mobs are creatures that never attack you, even if you attack them. Tamed dragons, if you are their trainer, dogs, after you tame them from wolves, ocelots, cats (tamed from ocelots from fish), cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, pigs, chickens and bunnies fall into this category.

Silk touch—useable only on a pickaxe (?) Use a silk touch pickaxe on glass, stained glass, sea lanterns, glowstone, ice and packed ice (add more later) to break it and get the block to use instead of just breaking the block.
