'''I would like to discuss defending your house from the various creatures of the night. My first tip is to after you have built your initial house the next day you should first mine and get at least 3 iron ingots and make a bucket. after you have accomplished this it is fairly easy to create a moat of at least a span of 3 across and fill it with water. ( note: this may take several buckets of water). What this will accomplish is if you come across the water being chased by baddies you can turn around and keep them slowed up in the water while you beat them with a sword or your fist. ( this will not work with skeletons because they have a ranged attack.) After you have played for a while and have located some Lava you should, if possible, take the water out of your moat and re fill it with buckets of lava. this will make your moat do damage to enemy mobs. but the downside is that without potions you cannot just walk across the lava you will probably need a bridge and break it after you are across to ensure you are not followed. Cactuses are also not to be overlooked in defense from creepers and other creatures if placed correctly in alternating one in front and then another beside it one block behind and you were to keep repeating this you would be able to make an invincible wall in which there was only one entrance. ( unless a creeper blows the whole thing sky high) in which case you can just rebuild them anyway. It should be noted though that to grow cactuses you need to plant them on sand. also cactuses cannot be placed directly next to each other which is why the defense calls for a staggered repeating pattern. If you have a lot of time and a diamond pick axe you can essentially also make your house of Obsidian which is pretty much indestructible and there fore you need no further defenses because creepers won't kill your house by blowing up.'''
