== | == Your Second Day and Onwards == | ||
Congratulations, you've made it through your first day (and night) of ''Better Than Adventure''! Or the second as well, if you were taking your time. This next section will see the general progression you'll be faced with up until the Nether! | |||

Congratulations, you've crafted the fastest pickaxe in the game! You will be able to mine out large areas of stone significantly faster than with any other tool. This will make it easier to find even more diamonds in the future. Once you've found some more, you can craft diamond variants of your tools and armor. | Congratulations, you've crafted the fastest pickaxe in the game!

== | == Entering the Nether == | ||
Now that you're set with diamond gear, it's about time you start exploring the Nether, an alternative dimension with a hellish atmosphere. However, while it is scary, it's not too dangerous if you're confident and know what you're doing. So, don't go hitting any pigmen! | |||

Additionally, the Nether can be used for fast travel over long distances. Walking one block in the Nether is equivalent to walking eight blocks in the Overworld, so you can create portal networks to more efficiently travel around your ''Minecraft'' world. | Additionally, the Nether can be used for fast travel over long distances.

== | == What Now? == | ||
Congratulations! You've finally journeyed through the Nether and reached just about the peak of the general progression. And now you're probably wondering what you can do now. Everything beyond this point isn't in any particular order, as you almost certainly have the gear to face just about anything by now. | |||
=== | === Craft a {{InvSprite|Blast Furnace}} [[Blast Furnace|blast furnace]]. === | ||
Once you've gotten some Nether coal, you can craft a new type of furnace called the blast furnace. This furnace smelts items faster than normal furnaces, and can be used to obtain items that can't normally be obtained from smelting in a normal furnace. You'll need one piece of Nether coal and eight iron ingots to craft one.{{Crafting table | Once you've gotten some Nether coal, you can craft a new type of furnace called the blast furnace.

}}Note that the blast furnace will only accept certain types of fuel, being Nether coal and {{InvSprite|Olivine}} [[olivine]], a special mineral which you can get by blasting [[Cobbled Basalt|cobbled basalt]]. Nether coal will only be able to blast 16 items, while olivine can blast 2 items. However, olivine is a renewable resource, and it's easy to get large quantities of it by smelting cobbled basalt. Because one piece of olivine can smelt two pieces of cobbled basalt, you can get infinite quantities of fuel for your blast furnace. | }}Note that the blast furnace will only accept certain types of fuel, being Nether coal and {{InvSprite|Olivine}} [[olivine]], a special mineral which you can get by blasting [[Cobbled Basalt|cobbled basalt]].

=== Craft some {{InvSprite|Steel Ingot}} steel tools and armor. === | |||
Admittedly, diamond tools aren't actually "the best". Different tools in BTA have different capabilities and purposes. While wooden, stone and iron tools are ultimately worse than every other option, being reserved only for progression or emergency panic crafts, gold, diamond and steel tools all have their own special benefits. | |||
Diamond tools, while the fastest, are not the best in terms of durability. In fact, steel tools take the cake for best durability in the game in terms of tools, but, as you may have guessed, sacrifice some speed as a result. In general, steel tools are typically better, but larger projects or mining expeditions may see diamond tools being more useful. As for gold tools, while they aren't as good as the other two in general, they offer a unique capability similar to silk touch in modern Minecraft, in that most blocks mined with gold tools will drop as the block itself. | |||
Armor possesses similar traits, in that different materials will offer different, unique perks and detriments. However, you can read the [[Armor]] page for more on that. | |||
Blasting iron ingots in a blast furnace will get you {{InvSprite|Crude Steel}} crude steel, which is then used to craft {{InvSprite|Steel Ingot}} steel ingots. You can then use these with the generic tool, weapon and armor crafting recipes to get steel variants of the respective items.{{Crafting table|type=blast-furnace|input=Iron Ingot|RESULT=Crude Steel|name=n|foot=y}}{{Crafting table|4=Crude Steel|5=Crude Steel|6=Crude Steel|type=workbench|RESULT=Steel Ingot|foot=y}} | |||
