Surviving The Beginning

The Beginning may sound like a whole new dimension in Minecraft, but it's actually a stage in the game. The Beginning starts with you spawning and ends when you have enough knowledge so other people don't call you a noob. 

When starting a new world in Minecraft, you (should) immediately should think "punch trees, get wood." There's some options we need to go over before you do that, though.

It's recommended when first starting out to play on Peaceful, just so mobs, hunger, and other hindrances won't end your game early. (In Peaceful mobs do spawn, but are immediately removed when they do. Also hunger won't go down and you regain hearts back immediately. I know. Boring) It's recommended, though, to turn it back on normal after you get your house started.

After you find a perfect spot (I like to live just a little ways away from an NPC village), build your home the way you want it. You don't have to worry about mobs, so you can build at night. You CAN build a massive mansion, but it's recommended that you DON'T in The Beginning because the game will get boring after a while. 

When exploring caves, it can be useful to turn it on Peaceful while in the caves, so that creepers won't kill you prematurely. I do this and I thoroughly enjoy the game, but you don't have to do this.

That is pretty much the basics of surviving The Beginning.
