== Intro: Second Day ==
 
If you read the beginner's guide and if you put the new knowledge to good use, you should have a small dirt house with about 2 torches, a workbench and a half broken wooden pickaxe. This tutorial will help guide you in making a cobblestone house with a door, bed and crafting table
 
 
== Back to mining ==
 
The foundation of everything is mining. Begin by mining some [[Stone]] with your [[Pickaxe]]. When you extract a stone block, it should drop a crumbly block called [[Cobblestone]]. This is what you can use to make your house. It has an explosion resistance of 30, which isn't enough to stop a [[Creeper]]'s explosion but it will do for the Second Day. You can also use cobblestone to make stone weapons and tools. These last longer, with 132 uses. You can make a Stone Pickaxe by replacing the wooden planks with cobblestone when making a pickaxe. After making a Stone Pickaxe, collect approximately 50-80 pieces of cobblestone.
 
 
The three most important resources you will get from mining, are probably coal, iron, and diamond. You need coal to make torches, it is the best furnace fuel (apart from lava buckets, which give you 900 seconds of fuel = 100 items before it dies out). One piece of coal will cook eight blocks. Iron has a vast number of different uses: tools, armor, minecart tracks, flint+steels, buckets. Gold is more important these days than it used to be as well, for powered rails, if you're wanting to build minecarts.
 
 
Diamond needs an iron pick to be mined, and it is useful as it is the only thing that can mine obsidian. Obsidian is necessary for making Nether portals, but it is also a very nice material for base construction, as it is totally impervious to explosions. Redstone is another ore you will find, which also has a lot of uses, but you will likely find much more of that than you will ever need.
 
 
== Construction ==
 
By now it should be the middle of the day. Build a three block high wall that is about 5x4. Then you can seal it over with cobblestone as a roof, '''or''' you can make a lip on the top to prevent spiders coming in. Also, leave a 1x2 gap so you can walk in and out.
 
 
== Doors ==
 
With the wooden planks you have (if you don't have any, chop down a tree and craft some) and craft a [[Door]]. You can do this by filling up the crafting table with wooden planks in the first two columns from the left (it works from the right too). Collect the wooden door and place it in the gap of your house. Clicking on it will open it. Clicking it again will close it. You can also craft an iron door if you have iron. Mobs cannot pass through these doors, but can attack you if you place the door from the inside, such as the Skeleton which can fire arrows. To prevent this, go outside of your house and place the door in the doorway. This will be an outward facing door and prevents attacks.
 
As of 1.7 it is not possible to attack through doors from either side.

'''Minecarts with Furnace''' (also called ''Powered Minecarts'') are a special type of [[minecart]] that was implemented in the [[Version History#Post Single Player Survival Mode Release|Seecret Friday Update 7]]<!--THIS IS THE CORRECT SPELLING. DO NOT CHANGE /-->. It accepts [[Coal (Item)|coal]] or [[charcoal]] as fuel for powered movement and can be used to push other minecarts, thus functioning as an engine.

== Crafting ==
  +
A Minecart with Furnace is crafted from a [[Furnace]] and a [[Minecart]], as shown below:
In your crafting table, put a stick in the bottom center square, and place two [[cobblestone]] blocks in the two spaces above it. When you are done, you should have a [[Stone Sword]]. Put this in your toolbar. This can be used as a self-defence mechanism to attack intruding Mobs. Stone Swords deal 3.5 hearts of damage compared to the 1 heart by bare fists. So you can kill most mobs in 3 hits. You can also use this method to make other types of sword like a Diamond Sword if you found diamonds.

{| class="wikitable"
<!--note that from 1.9 pre-release 3 onwards, stone swords only do 2.5 hearts damage, creepers and skeletons have 10 health, spiders have 8, zombies have 11. I didnt add this because the header said this page is updated to 1.7-->

== Usage ==
  +
To use the Minecart with Furnace, first place it on a [[Rails|track]]. Select your fuel (currently only [[Coal (Item)|Coal]], [[Lava#Lava Bucket|Lava Bucket]] and [[Charcoal]] works) then right-click on the Minecart. When right-clicking on the Minecart, you want to face the direction you want it to travel. You can make the cart change direction by right-clicking it while facing the opposite direction of travel. Your coal will be lost once used on the furnace.
Now you'll use the wool you collected earlier to make a bed. Line the bottom of the 3x3 crafting square with wooden planks, and place a [[wool]] in each space in the middle row. Now you have a bed.The type of wool doesn't matter though. Go back to your house and place it inside. Preferably, don't place a bed next to a one block thick wall, because if a hostile mob can get within 2 blocks of the bed, even if the blocks are separated by a wall, you will be awakened with the hostile mob standing next to you. If you want, you can also place a bed next to another bed, what makes it a double-bed. (It has the same function like the single bed, but sometimes looks really nice.) Click on your bed and drift off to sleep. You will then wake up the next morning at dawn.
 
   
  +
== Behavior ==
If somehow a mob comes in during your sleep, use your Stone [[Sword]] to kill it. If it is a green tall creature without arms, this is a [[Creeper]]. The best thing to do is to run away and set up a makeshift shelter out of torches in the side of a hill, and survive there for the night. Creepers can blow up and can deliver serious damage to you and your building. So your house might be gone. Don't worry, you can rebuild later, either in your makeshift house or where it originally was. Since this tutorial is based on Normal mode, Creepers will deal 10 hearts of damage or 10 1/2 hearts of damage at point-blank range in Hard difficulty, which is fatal if you don't have any armor equipped.

A powered Minecart in action.

Minecarts with Furnace (also called Powered Minecarts) are a special type of minecart that was implemented in the Seecret Friday Update 7. It accepts coal or charcoal as fuel for powered movement and can be used to push other minecarts, thus functioning as an engine.

Crafting

A Minecart with Furnace is crafted from a Furnace and a Minecart, as shown below:

Ingredients Input » Output
Furnace + Minecart Template:Grid/Crafting Table

Usage

To use the Minecart with Furnace, first place it on a track. Select your fuel (currently only Coal, Lava Bucket and Charcoal works) then right-click on the Minecart. When right-clicking on the Minecart, you want to face the direction you want it to travel. You can make the cart change direction by right-clicking it while facing the opposite direction of travel. Your coal will be lost once used on the furnace.

Behavior

  • Breaking a Minecart with Furnace gives a plain cart and the furnace back (but any fuel inside will be lost).
  • Minecarts with Furnace cannot push other carts around 180-degree hairpin turns.
  • A player in a cart adds significant weight, requiring more power to push.
  • 1/1 (and possibly 1/2) slopes are too steep for a single Minecart with Furnace to push a single occupied cart uphill. 1/3 slopes appear to be gradual enough for success.
  • Going up at a slope of 1/3 (two flat-rails between each up-ramp) will allow you to push your train upwards, as it appears the Minecarts with Furnace have force applied in intervals.
  • Multiple Minecarts with Furnace yield more pushing power; 2 powered minecarts can push a player-occupied minecart up a 1/1 slope. (although very slowly).
  • A single Minecart with Furnace can push an occupied minecart up a 1/1 slope if there are additional minecarts being pushed (possibly due to bumping physics).
  • When a powered minecart runs out of fuel, it does not break.
  • One piece of coal seems to power the minecart for 4 minutes. Distance varies based on ramps and other objects on the track.
  • If too much stress is put on the Minecart with Furnace then it will stop. Right-click activates it again.

Trivia

  • Minecart with Chests and Minecart with Furnaces are the first crafted items created from two separate crafted items.
  • Right clicking will cause the Minecart to go forward a little bit, even if it is not loaded with fuel.

Bugs

  • As of Beta 1.8.1, Powered Minecarts cannot push minecarts on north-south facing track.
  • As of Beta 1.8.1, Powered Minecarts do not produce the new lighting and glitch nearly always through other carts or get stuck before them.
  • Powered Minecarts the furnace front texture switch to the back and front of the minecart.
