Thinking of actually starting to beat Minecraft. Need help with Exploration

So far, it’s just been me blowing up stuff with TNT, but now I’m starting to actually want to beat the game. I know all the basics, like mine trees, find a sheep, but I need help with finding a stronghold and how to get good ores. Tips? 

( I’m on a ipad btw sooooooo )

on Ipad I really can't help you. If you even manage to come anywhere close on frickin pocket edition then mad respects to you

I'll tell you now, beating Minecraft on an iPad is very hard.

I’m on iPad toooooooooooooo

How do you even play Minecraft on an Ipad?

Hi

Well I have some tips ^w^ former tablet player aswell beat the gosh darn game 3 times

I’ve literally used an iPad for 3 years. You computer members won’t believe me but it’s actually kinda easy to control. I can control myself properly, so that’s no problem. I’m most worried about finding the ( forgot name ) the place where you find the end portal. 

How do I find it?

Idk what pocket edition is. Eh lemme google search it.

So first you need eye of ender

On Ipad things are harder but still not terrible. In theory being Ipad or bedrock has advantages but only if you play perfect. I dont play survival. So i dont know many tips sry.    

it is so hard to kill ender dragon on ipad. you have to be like really good, clutch well, and have like no lag, I have only succefully done it twice with no cheats

I can literally blow up 100 TNT and still not glitch, so glitching isn’t a problem ( at least )..

Can I get that by killing enderman?

Eyes of ender are made with ender pearls and blaze powder. Ender pearls can be obtained by killing endermen or by bartering with piglins. Blaze powder is crafted from blaze rods which are dropped by blazes.

If you don't mind a really long video, you might want to check this out. It has some really good tips for beginners. You can learn a lot of useful things like "always keep a bucket in your hotbar."

Ok. The problem is killing enderman is almost impossible for me.

*endermen

There are ways to fool them though. If you place a boat next to one, they will instantly get in it. Then you can just kill them, and they can't even fight back. Just be careful not to hit the boat. Another way is to dig a 2-blocks-tall tunnel into a wall and hit them from there. They are 3 blocks tall, so they can't fit.

Bull crap
