starting to play it

Advice?

- Make axes, chop wood. LOTS of it. You can never have too much wood. And you'll probably end up using lots of cobblestone as well.

- Stay stocked on food

- Build a shelter very early on, doesn't even have to be great. As long as it keeps out the baddies.

- Create lots of pickaxes too, to prepare yourself for some hardcore mining.

- When mining, mine in branches. In other words, make several paths underground and don't extend one particular tunnel too far, in case you happen to die and all your items dissapear before you can retrieve them from your spawn point.

- Find lots and lots of iron, as it is very useful as armor, pickaxes, and is the only way to make railroads, which become very useful as you get deeper into the game and expand outward.

- Diamond is your friend, as it is very rare, deep underground, and very useful. I find that it is most useful to make pickaxes.

- Watch your back for creepers! (the dudes in my avatar). Especially in dark areas and early mornings.

- Enjoy manipulating and building your world the way you deem fit and say goodbye to your social life :)
