Editing Guide:Getting started (section)

== Your First Day ==

=== 1. Chop down some trees. ===
The first thing you'll want to do is locate around three trees and mine all of their logs. Any trees should do for now.

=== 2. Craft some {{InvSprite|Wooden Planks}} wooden planks. ===
Craft the logs gathered from the trees into wooden planks. Use the crafting grid in your inventory to do as such. Depending on the type of tree you chopped down, your wooden planks may be colored differently. Any color of wood will work, and you can mix different colors of wood in the following crafting recipes.

===3. Craft a {{InvSprite|Workbench}} workbench.===
Use four of the wooden planks you created to fill the grid and craft yourself a workbench. The workbench is used to craft more advanced items. It will be a fundamental part of your play experience.{{Crafting table|Wooden Planks|foot=y|type=inventory|RESULT=Workbench|Wooden Planks|Wooden Planks|Wooden Planks}}
===4. Craft your first {{InvSprite|Wooden Pickaxe}} wooden pickaxe. ===
Place down the workbench and use it to craft sticks, by placing two wooden planks in a vertical column. Then, craft a wooden pickaxe by using two sticks and three wooden planks. Viola, now you have your first pickaxe! Pickaxes can be used to mine blocks like [[stone]] which would normally take a long time to break with your fist and wouldn't drop anything.{{Crafting table|Wooden Planks|foot=y|type=inventory|RESULT=Stick,4|3=Wooden Planks}}

===5. Optionally, craft a {{InvSprite|Wooden Sword}} wooden sword. ===
It may be worth crafting a wooden sword as well if you prefer to take the game slowly. You can easily get a more effective stone sword very quickly, so you can skip this step unless you want the Time to Strike [[achievement]]. You can craft a wooden sword by using one stick and two wooden planks.{{Crafting table|foot=y|RESULT=Wooden Sword|2=Wooden Planks|5=Wooden Planks|8=Stick}}
===6. Mine some {{InvSprite|Cobblestone}} cobblestone.===
Locate any exposed stone and mine at least 10 blocks of stone to get yourself cobblestone, using the newly crafted wooden pickaxe. If there's no exposed stone, just dig through the dirt until you find some. Just remember the golden rule; ''never dig straight down!''
===7. Craft some {{InvSprite|Stone Sword}}{{InvSprite|Stone Pickaxe}}{{InvSprite|Stone Axe}}{{InvSprite|Stone Shovel}} stone tools.===
The next tier up from wooden tools are stone tools! Using cobblestone and sticks, craft yourself a stone sword, pickaxe, axe and shovel. You may need to craft yourself more sticks.{{Crafting table|foot=y|RESULT=Stone Sword|2=Cobblestone|5=Cobblestone|8=Stick}}

=== 8. Gather some more wood. ===
Now that you have a proper axe, it'd be worth your while to find some more trees and quickly gather some more wooden planks. Wooden planks are very useful for building a shelter.

=== 9. Find some [[Pig|pigs]] and kill them for {{InvSprite|Raw Porkchop}} food. ===
You'll need food to heal yourself if you get injured. Finding some pigs and killing them with your stone sword will supply you with raw porkchops.

=== 10. Find some sheep and gather {{InvSprite|White Wool}} [[wool]]. ===
Night is likely fast approaching by this point, and if you want a bed to sleep through the night and/or set your respawn point to somewhere more safe, you'll need to gather some wool. Find any sheep and kill it for wool; you'll only need one piece.

=== 11. Mine some {{InvSprite|Coal}} coal ore. ===
You'll need some coal ore for both torches and fuel to cook food or smelt ores. Mountainsides will likely have exposed coal ore, but if you can't find any, just dig into the side of a hill or mountain until you find some.

=== 12. Craft {{InvSprite|Torch}} torches. ===
You can craft some torches with sticks and coal. You won't need a workbench for this, as it fits within the crafting grid if your inventory. Make sure to save some coal, as you will need it for later.{{Crafting table|Coal|foot=y|type=inventory|RESULT=Torch,4|3=Stick}}

=== 13. Make a shelter for yourself. ===
Using the opening that you just mined out whilst gathering coal, you can mine yourself a shelter by digging deeper into the terrain. Then, you can place some torches to light up the room, place down your workbench and furnace, and then craft yourself a wooden door using six wooden planks. And voila, your first home!{{Crafting table|Wooden Planks|foot=y|RESULT=Wooden Door,3|Wooden Planks|4=Wooden Planks|5=Wooden Planks|7=Wooden Planks|8=Wooden Planks|type=workbench}}

=== 14. Craft a {{InvSprite|Furnace}} furnace. ===
You should have a plethora of stone left over to craft yourself a furnace. A furnace can be used to cook food and to smelt minerals!{{Crafting table|Cobblestone|foot=y|RESULT=Furnace|Cobblestone|4=Cobblestone|7=Cobblestone|8=Cobblestone|type=workbench|Cobblestone|6=Cobblestone|9=Cobblestone}}

=== 15. Cook some {{InvSprite|Cooked Porkchop}} porkchops. ===
Use the furnace to cook the raw porkchops you gathered from the pigs. This will boost the recovery from three health points to eight. To smelt an item, place it in the top slot of the furnace, then place a fuel source in the bottom slot. The best fuel source at the moment is coal, but if you're running short of it, you can also use wooden planks. Keep in mind that one piece of coal smelts eight items, while one piece of wood smelts only one and a half items.{{Crafting table|foot=y|RESULT=Cooked Porkchop|type=furnace|input=Raw Porkchop|fuel=Coal}}

=== 16. Kill some {{InvSprite|Cloth}} zombies. ===
It's likely either approaching night or already night by now. In vanilla Minecraft, you would be able to craft a bed using just wooden planks and wool. However, in BTA, you'll have to face the monsters of the night in order to get the final resource necessary to craft a bed: cloth. If you aren't confident in your skill, you may be better off mining throughout the night to gather better gear. However, if you are confident, find some zombies that have spawned during the night and kill them with your sword to gather cloth!

=== 17. Craft a {{InvSprite|Bed}} bed. ===
Swiftly retreat to your cavern base, and craft yourself a bed using three wooden planks, one wool and two cloth. Viola! You have now survived your first night in Minecraft! Something you should remember, however, is the nightmare mechanic. If the area around your bed is not lit up or enclosed, a monster will spawn while you're trying to sleep, making sleeping impossible. So, make sure your home is fully enclosed and lit up!
