Minecraft Survival: Part 1

First day: Start your world. When you spawn, the first thing to do is punch wood. After you have 16 logs, open your inventory and craft wooden planks. Next make a crafting table.

 Place your crafting table down. Make a wooden sword, then mine your crafting table and put it in your inventory, then find and kill three sheep.
Find a good sized hill. Make a small hole in the hill. Place your crafting table down, then make a wooden pick. Mine 13 or more cobble, then make a furnace and a stone pick.
Find some coal or make some charcoal by smelting logs and planks together. Make sticks, then craft
torches and a door.
Place the torches on the walls of your hole, then add the door where the entrance to your hole is. Make a bed and a chest, and BOOM! You've got a starter's hill house. If you have spare time before night, you can add a mining hole by making a small staircase inside your hill. Make sure to light it up or block it up so no mobs spawn! Then, right click on your bed to fall asleep. Goodnight, and good job for surviving your first night.

CRAFTING RECIPES: ALL THE RECIPES FOR THE ITEMS IN THIS POST

crafting table

wooden sword/pick (make all the picks, swords, hoes, axes, and shovels with the same recipe, only different materials. i.e. instead of wood at the top to make the stone pick, I use cobble at the top!)

furnace

To make sticks, just place 2 wooden planks vertically in the crafting table or inventory craft. No picture needed.

door

To make torches, place 1 stick at the bottom and 1 coal/charcoal at the top.

bed

To make the chest, make it like the furnace but with wood instead of cobble. Placing 2 chests next to each other makes a large chest.
