me playing minecraft for 8 years still watching these tutorials

Another tips for beginners
1) If you can't find a lot of coal, you can smelt logs in furnace to get charcoal
2) To smelt lots of items make a block of coal. It smelts 80 items(if I remember correctly)
3) If you make a bucket and if there is no coal in deepslate layer, then use the bucket to get Lava bucket from nearest Lava pool and put the Lava bucket in furnace to smelt 100 items!!! We also get the bucket back
4) If you don't have a shield and a creeper is going to explode, place a block between your feet and him, you won't take damage(first practice this in creative)
Hope these helps

3:37 If you already have an Iron Ingot, use your shovel to mine some Gravel and find a piece of Flint. After that, craft a Flint and Steel to burn mobs before killing them so you can get already-cooked meat. This is my prefered method.

[RonicTheEgg]

Actually, instead of throwing away ur wooden pickaxe, you can use it as fuel in your furnace, keep in mind that the wooden sword won't keep the furnace fire up for long

[he-dpmk]

2:08 NEVER throw away your first tool, it's an amazing peice for your museum once you get that far

Tips I have: (most of them are more for long term worlds than speedruns)

-Make a campfire, you can cook infinite food with only one coal.
-If you can’t find coal, smelt logs to get charcoal.
-Collect eggs from your chicken farm and throw them back inside the pen to spawn more chickens.
-When you find sugarcane that is 2 or more blocks tall, leave the bottom block so it will grow back.
-Sweet berries found in taigas are not a bad early game food source, each bush gives you multiple berries, and the berries grow back quickly.
-Kill wandering traders (or put them in a boat) for the leads.
-Plant 4 spruce saplings in a 2x2 square, they will grow into a mega tree that provides tons of wood.
-If a cave entrance is a vertical drop down, place water at the top so you can go up and down.
-If you run low on food when caving, you can eat glow berries (found in lush caves).
-Write down coordinates in the chat, but note that the chat is erased if you leave the world and rejoin.
-You can get a lot of food if you steal haybales and crops from villages.
-When looking for sheep to make a bed, you can spare gray sheep for breeding, because all your wool needs to be the same color to make a bed.
-Place torches on the right side of the cave so when you go back, you know which direction the exit is.
-Light animals on fire with a flint and steel before killing them, their meat will be cooked.
-If you need flint and have limited gravel, place down, mine, place, and mine your gravel until you get some.
-Always keep a bucket of water in your inventory, it will come in handy.

how i play:
1. make wooden pickaxe
2. find stone and make stone tools
3. wait until night (get some food, get a bed etc)
4. kill a spider
5. make a fishing rod
6. fish for the next 6 hours straight

[TheSam]

You don't waste anytime getting into it. Great vid!

[deamon]

Looking for shipwrecks at the beghining of game is a very nice skip that allows you to find materials and make tools without going to caves at all. Just make a boat, kill some fish for food source and dolphins to help you find chests and there is a good chance you can find some diamonds without worrying much =)

Fun observation about local difficulty. It was rather lategame, I've been in the area of my base a pretty long time, but most zombies that I've encountered didn't have any armor, except for some loners in iron or chainmail (the difficulty is hard). However, while zombifying some villagers for my trading hall, one of them, after getting zombified, got a full set of diamond armor! It was the only time I've seen a naturally generated zombie (though I'd say it's semi-natural) in full diamond.

[retrotek]

Wow, you got what are major milestones for me so fast.
I had no idea about the "local difficulty" mechanic. Explains why I get a load of mobs while building.
I hope to try your start method on my next world, may start one just to give it a go. Thank you.

Another tip if you're more of a technically inclined player, set up a villager breeder and get an armorer as quickly as you can, an armorer can give you full enchanted diamond armor with a level 19 enchant on it. Some other good villagers to get would be librarians and cartographers as you can go between buying glass from a librarian, turn it into panes and sell that to the cartographer for emeralds, a farmer, again, good source of emeralds and a weapon smith, you can get a diamond axe or sword with I believe the same level enchant as the armor from the armorer.

[kanaflux]

As usual straightforward and super helpful!

[ThePurplePassage]

A missing tip is to make a campfire with your first bit of coal. This will allow you to cook infinite food for the one-off cost of 1 lump of coal.

This is especially useful for the raw meat from killing animals you encounter incidentally as you start a world, and can even be useful later in the game too if you make several campfires in a row with a system of hoppers (or a hopper minecart) to collect the food once cooked.

[JesterWhoHelps]

A tip to never get lost: When you place torches you should pick a wall, only place torches on that side. That way you never get lost and you always know which way is deeper in and which way is back out... when you reach a junction, go the same direction as the torches you place.

I like to keep my wooden pickaxe as a trophy for when my world is in the late stage on hardcore...

Also don't encourage people killing sheep :C

Local Difficulty never influences mob spawning, only the mobs spawned. However, usually you can progress faster than the mobs, and this mechanic is merely a tap on the brakes from you overpowering them.

When it comes to mob spawns, there are only three factors to take into account: amount and concentration of spawning spaces, fullness of the mob cap, and the highest non-air block.
If you lit up the entire area, the game struggles to fill up the mob cap and eventually you will find a concentration of mobs in that corner of your base you forgot to light up. If you cave in a new area, most of your 70 mobs will be in other caves with little chance to encounter you before they despawn. The highest non-air block is mainly useful for mob farming, as mob spawn attempts occur between the bottom of the world and the highest non-air block. To give an illustration of this: the addition of the deepslate layer cuts the mob spawns of the y=0-64 area in half, and building an Enderman farm at y=9 requires about 10x as many spawning spaces for the same speed as at y=0.

You can also go underwater mining with doors, there's no air exposure underwater, so diamonds appear in bigger clusters.
Kill hoglins in crimsom forests as they drop leather and porkchop and are very common.
Loot the ships you find along the way.
Maps always point north.
Save rotten flesh if you have wolves in mind.
Light torches around a spawner and save the coordinates in a notepad

I will add more at replies

Another tip that's helped me tons is to turn hitboxes on that way you can see mobs from a lot farther than you normally can (press F3+B)

[Fatalroadie]

Another good tip if you are in a cave to place your torches on one side of the wall. That way you know if all your torches are on the right wall, your return trip will have the torches on the left side.

[masterofthecontinuum]

Note for 8:30, there are certain specific heights that you take damage from. They are always whole numbers though, if I recall correctly. So make a slab and fall off that, and you should be safe no matter what, since slabs are a half block which will make all your heights safe.
