When the game is dead and the forum is quiet
it's the right time to write a new player guide!

Updated guide.

1) Implemented above suggestion.
2) Included link to steam Ender Client distribution page.
3) Added additional instruction in various new player sections.
4) Added a warning in the boat section, alerting players to the possibility of inadvertently exiting boats in deep water and drowning themselves, and that whirlpools will damage boats on entry.

I've created a first draft of a new player guide.
It's not complete. Not even close.
It's hopefully going to help some people get started, and I hope to work on it over time.

I hope this is helpful to some people.
Please feel free to list sections you'd like to see added, or things you think that are important that are missing.
thank you

If someone gives this to a new player in 16.2, I'd like to talk to them after about what the guide is missing they wish they were taught.
