My first attempt at minecraft resulted in death. For what it’s worth my second living person is at level 5.
The crafting is fun and immense so far. I am very grateful for tons of torches keeping mobs from spawning near my house. 🙏
I just need to find more sheep! Don’t have enough wool to make a bed after multiple days.:/
@JonKramer
Can confirm. Shearing also gives more wool than just killing them. And when they live on grass blocks, they replenish their wool after eating grass (block turns to dirt).
@trinsec @JonKramer thank you all. I will have to look into that. My shelter seems really safe with all the lights so i can focus on higher order things like sleep, a stone house and maybe a fenced in sheep area!
@derickflorian Minecraft has always been a ‘wiki’ type of game for me. It’s rare that I don’t have the wiki open during game play to look up how to craft some item or where other might be found or info on some type of mechanic. If you look through my posts I have a bunch of guides that may (or may not) help a bit this early in the game.
Farming crops and breeding animals is important early in game.

@pixelandpoly wow, thank you!! This looks like a great resource. I will look for your posts! I appreciate you and everyone else helping me fill in the gaps. This wiki will be great for everything my random google searches haven’t accomplished. :)
@derickflorian you’re welcome! Even after playing for a long time it’s easy to forget what food will breed all the animals or what you need to craft or brew something! Wiki to the rescue!
@derickflorian , you need to find 2 sheep, and feed them wheat. They breed, and then you make shears to get wool.
