Warning

This page is being migrated to the Minicraft Wiki on wiki.gg, so no further updates to the information are made here. If the migration is completed, this page will be deleted.

The storyline of minicraft is fairly simple: defeat the airwizard. This page will elaborate on how to get there, as well as the extra storyline after achieving the main goal.

---

The first major milestone (well, this could be argued over, but whatever) is finding a set of stairs. Stairs down go underground, into the caves. There are 3 (well, technically 4, more on that later) levels of cave systems, each with a different ore. The first level has iron, the second gold (and water), and the third gem (and lava). Mobs become more powerful the deeper you go. Lapis is also dispersed throughout the second and third floors.

On each level, you'll have to find stairs leading down to the next. This is made difficult, however, by the fact that your vision is severely limited underground, to the point where you can only see about 1 tile in any direction. You may use torches and lanterns to light your way, as well as light potions.

You may also notice, on the surface level, stairs leading up, into the sky, surrounded by strange rock. Hitting this rock may produce a notification that you need a gem pick to break it. So, in order to reach the sky, you must first get all the way down to the third underground level, where gems and lava reside, and make it back up.

If you manage to accomplish that, and craft a gem pickaxe, then you can break the rocks surrounding the stairs to the sky. There, you'll find the airwizard boss waiting for you. It's difficult, but the key is to never stop hitting him. He has to cool down every time you hit him, so if you keep up a constant barrage, he'll never be able to attack. ;) (MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE)

After you defeat the airwizard, there actually is more storyline. A message appears on screen, saying the dungeon is open. That refers to a certain staircase on the lava level going down, surrounded by purple bricks and walls. Had you previously tried to break said walls with a tool, you would have gotten a cryptic message: "Only true heroes may enter." After having defeated the airwizard, you're considered a true hero, and you may now break the walls (they're made of obsidian, btw), and go down the stairs. The level you'll find is a very purple level, entirely composed of obsidian walls and bricks, with occasial small pockets of lava scattered about.

The enemies there are of two new types: snakes, and knights. Snakes drop scales, which can be used to craft green snake armor, and knights drop shards, which are needed to craft claymores (upgraded swords).

Now, as for the additional storyline: you will find grayed-out chests scattered about on the dungeon floor. Attempting to open one of these "dungeon chests" will notify you that they are locked. (You may also notice that the chests cannot be moved.) In order to open a dungeon chest, you need to have a key, which knights (and maybe snakes?) will occasionally drop. As long as the key is in your inventory, you can attempt to open a dungeon chest, and the key will be removed and you will be able to access the contents of the chest. You can then also move them, and the color will be restored.

The significance of these chests to the storyline, is that you must find and unlock all of them. How may there are depends on map size and random chance; if you press F3, while on the dungeon level, it will display how many locked chests remain. Upon unlocking the final chest, you will receive 5 golden apples.

However, there's more to do and more secrets to discover... Back in the sky world are white ores called cloud ore, which you can mine. You can craft a Totem of Air, which will respawn the air wizard when used.

And of course, you may continue to play your world as usual afterwards.
