Revision as of 20:37, 24 August 2023
Greetings, newbies and noobs of Better than Adventure!. This page is a guide for your first few days and nights in this Beta mod for Minecraft. This guide will assume that you already know the basic details of Minecraft!
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 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.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Planks | Oak Log |  |
3. Craft a 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.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Workbench | Planks | |
4. Craft your first 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.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Stick | Planks | 4 |
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden Pickaxe | Planks + Stick | |
5. Optionally, craft a 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.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden Sword | Planks + Stick | |
6. Mine some 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 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.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Sword | Cobblestone + Stick | |
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Pickaxe | Cobblestone + Stick | |
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Axe | Cobblestone + Stick | |
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Shovel | Cobblestone + 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 pigs and kill them for 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 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 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 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.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Torch | Coal + Stick | 4 |
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 viola, your first home!
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Wooden Door | Planks | 3 |
14. Craft a 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!
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Furnace | Cobblestone | |
15. Cook some 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.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Cooked Porkchop | Raw Porkchop |  |
16. Kill some 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 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!
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Bed | Cloth + White Wool + Planks | |
18. Mine some iron ore.
Next, you'll want to mine some iron ore. Iron ore can be mined and smelted into iron ingots, which you can craft into tools, armor, and various other useful items. Iron ore typically generates at lower Y levels in the world, so you will want to start digging downward from your cave base. Make sure to dig in a stair-step pattern, and never dig straight down! You could get stuck without a way to go back to your base, or you may fall into a cave full of monsters or lava.
Once you find iron ore, you'll be able to mine it with your stone pickaxe. Make sure not to mine it with your wooden pickaxe, or else it will drop nothing. Upon mining the iron ore block, one raw iron ore item will drop.
19. Smelt your raw iron into iron ingots.
You may notice that if you try to use your raw iron ore to craft items, it won't work. This is because it needs to be smelted down into iron ingots first. To make iron ingots, simply put your raw iron into the furnace, similarly to how you cooked your porkchops earlier. If you found any extra coal while mining, you can use it to smelt your iron.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Iron Ingot | Raw Iron Ore | |
20. Craft an iron pickaxe.
One of the first tools you should craft with your newly smelted iron is an iron pickaxe. Iron pickaxes will mine blocks much faster than stone pickaxes. You can also mine more types of ores with it. It is crafted in the same way as the stone and wooden pickaxes, except with three iron ingots.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Iron Pickaxe | Iron Ingot + Stick | |
21. Craft a chest.
By now, your inventory is likely filled with a lot of items. You can store some of those items in chests. Chests require eight wooden planks to be crafted. Each chest provides around one inventory's worth of storage space. However, if you place a second chest next to your first chest, it will become a double chest which can store twice as many items!
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Chest | Planks | |
