Tutorials/Surviving in a single area indefinitely

This may be a rather messy page but I'll try to fix it up later

So you've been playing in one basic area for a rather long time depleted all your ore resources well this is for you!

Step one:Preparing for the inevitable The first items you need to survive are of woods but this is for advanced users who have depleted the area around them of most resources so.You first need to make sure you have the following items
 * 1 or 2 iron buckets


 * at least one sapling of some type


 * access to at least one source lava & water


 * seeds of melon or wheat


 * a farm of some type

Got it?this is for you. Now the first thing you need to do is create a 'safe zone' I.E. some where lava cannot catch on fire and a tree farm. With your iron buckets place lava on one side of a hole around 3 or 5 meter wide, now on the opposite side place water this will create cobble which can be used in axes or hoes.A tree farm should be set up so as to gain maximum yield of harvest so place your saplings depending on your tree type around 3-5 meters apart.You now have a rather steady source of wood for repairs and picks or other needful things.Now (assuming you are not on peaceful) you need to have a farm of some sort if this is a wheat farm the best way to go about doing this is to make a water source that can be used indefinitely by placing water in a hole like this: OO OO And having the water like this WO OW the water will almost all ways refuel itself. If it is a wheat farm it should be set up as large as you care to take it so as to have max yield, however if it is a melon farm the following should be used SDSD DSDS SDSD where as s is seed and d is dirt. with these you should be living indefinitely. Good luck.
