Tutorials/The third day

General
This guide focuses on Survival Mode, on the standard NORMAL difficulty setting. Be warned.

The Third Day
Now you've got a safe shelter. You've got resources, but you're not sure how long they'd last. You're not sure if your shelter is safe enough. Now it's time to build them higher and/or improve your house (Ex. Getting a sunroof). Or if your adventurous, you can go find caves/dungeons to fight monsters and/or finding ores to build more durable materials. If you don't like to go into the depth, you can just explore in the overworld.

Preparation Before Exploring
Before you even think about exploring, you should craft the following items:


 * A bed, these are useful as you can very quickly dig a hole in a hillside, and block it off for a shelter.
 * Weapons (You never know when you're going to encounter monsters)
 * (Stone/Iron)* Pickaxe
 * (Stone/Iron)* Shovel
 * Food. One of the most efficient types of food is Porkchops, collected from Pigs. These heal 1 and a half hearts. Light Pigs on fire to collect cooked porkchops, which heal 4 hearts.
 * Clear out your inventory (Just in case you die)
 * Optional: Watch (If you're in a cave and you want to see what time it is) Constructed from gold and redstone.
