Minecraft/First Day

Sweet, playing survival Minecraft? Good luck! Things To Do First Collect as many logs from any tree—the closer, the better. Then, turn it into planks using your inventory crafting table, then turn your planks into a crafting table. Use the crafting table to create weapons and tools. Tools and Shelter Create a small base, or dig a hole into the ground. Then, make tools. The main tools to create are swords, axes, pickaxes, shovels, and hoes (I recommend making 2 swords, axes, and pickaxes first!). Swords will be used to attack things (On Java, axes are better than swords for killing animals), axes made chopping down trees faster, pickaxes let you mine most things faster, shovels let you mine dirt and sand faster, and hoes will let you farm. Use your pickaxes to dig up stone for cobblestone to create stone tools, which have higher durability and mining speed. What About Food? Use the swords and kill pigs, cows, and chickens for meat. It’s best if you mainly kill sheep for wool for now to make a bed, unless you find a village while exploring (If you do, take food from there). Craft a furnace with 8 cobblestone, because you will need to cook the meat for more hunger points (You can eat meat raw, but it has a chance of giving you hunger, which drains your hunger bar faster). There are many fuel sources you can use to cook your food, like collecting leaf litter on the ground, or mining for coal. Surviving the Night A Minecraft day lasts for 20 minutes, so best if you collect 20 to 40 logs (quite a lot!) and build a 9×9×3 house for safety. If you’re in hard mode, zombies can break wooden doors and kill you, but only if you were being chased and was seen entering the abode. If you don’t have enough time to build a house, go mining underground while waiting for daytime.
