A pickaxe is the foundation of everything you do in the game. Firstly, it will let you build a crafting table which is the foundation of making every important item or tool in the game.

#4 – Build a Minecraft Shelter

You will need a place to rest your head at night right? That is why even building a simple wooden house is more than enough to learn the ins and outs of building in the game. Speaking of building, it will be a CENTRAL aspect of your playthrough since it is the second most thing you’ll be doing besides exploring. That is why, we recommend building a lot and experimenting with various tools, weapons, and houses. You can find a video on making a basic house below.

#3 – Hunt for Food

Another pillar of Minecraft, those little hearts on your screen will keep depleting if you don’t get food in you. Searching for food and utilizing meat to make various dishes is instrumental. The Minecraft habitat will reward you with lots of animals that you can use to satiate yourself.  Berries, apples, fish, and even rotting zombie meat can be used as important food sources in the beginning. However, down the line, when you have enough experience, you can build an Animal Farm to harvest the meat.

#2 – Explore Caves and Mines!

Exploring a cave will let you learn a lot about the game. Using your pickaxe, you can make an iron pickaxe that you can use to explore caves and farm cobblestones and other minerals. In addition, caves and mines are overall an excellent use of your time since you can use the stones in the caves to make yourself additional weapons such as swords, shovels, and more!

#1 – Plan Ahead

Yes, this is the most important part of the article. We have shown you the ropes on what you CAN do to survive your first day. However, the rest of it is up to you. Since you want to enjoy the game according to your own pleasure, you should ensure and take into account the things you WANT to do. As we mentioned earlier, there are infinite possibilities in the game. Therefore we recommend planning it out once you get your feet wet, so to speak.
