The Start
You will be spawned with a Pickaxe,Axe, Sword .All tools will be wooden.You will also have torches but they may be useless if you removed lighting (You can remove or re add lighting in the settings.) Where you spawn will always be the place you spawn untill you make a Bed.Start cutting down trees and making a shelter. Trees will also randomly drop seeds and fruit which you can use for crafting and eating to gain health. When creating your shelter you will need a crafting table (after cutting down a tree you can create one and use the extra wood towards building a shelter). Start with doors and walls to close off your shelter. You can also make more specialized items with the crafting table (such as a furnace) that will be useful later on. Become familiar with the crafting table recipes to know what to look for while exploring the world.

Exploring
Going across the surface you will find sand, a stone mountain (needed for weapons and other crafting items), ores (for more specialized weapons and tools), and some caves. The farther down you go the more caves and ore you will find. There will also be more enemies so be on the look out. Lots of stone can be found in the last 70% of the map. If you haven’t found stone, continue digging deeper.

Upgrading
If you have the appropriate resources, you may want to consider upgrading your tools to make killing,mining,chopping wood,and breaking walls easier.Craft a Hammer to break walls first.You may start with a wooden one or craft a better one.After you got all 3 crafting machines and the resources,craft better tools and throw the old ones away.
