Starting a new world in Minecraft is exciting… and terrifying. One wrong move and you’ll respawn with nothing. If you’re new — or just want a solid refresher — here’s the ultimate guide to surviving your first week.
🌅 Day 1: Gather the Basics
- Punch trees for wood.
- Craft a wooden pickaxe and get stone ASAP.
- Make a stone sword, pickaxe, and axe.
- Build a quick shelter (even a dirt hut works).
Pro tip: Kill a few sheep for wool — a bed means you can skip the night and avoid mobs.
🌙 Night 1: Stay Safe
Don’t wander. Mobs (zombies, skeletons, creepers) will spawn in the dark. If you don’t have a bed, block yourself inside your hut and wait it out.
🪨 Days 2–3: Upgrade and Explore
- Mine iron and coal.
- Smelt iron to craft armor and tools.
- Collect food — farm wheat, cook meat, or gather berries.
- Explore nearby caves, but bring torches.
Pro tip: Always carry a bucket of water — it saves you from lava and fall damage.
⛏️ Days 4–5: Build a Base
Now that you’re geared up, design a proper home. Add:
- A farm for steady food.
- Chests for storage.
- A furnace and crafting station area.
- Torches everywhere to prevent mob spawns.
🏹 Days 6–7: Prepare for Adventure
- Craft a bow and arrows.
- Enchant your gear if you’ve found lapis and a book.
- Start exploring further — villages, dungeons, or even the Nether (if you’re ready).
✅ Final Word
If you survive your first week, you’re set for the long run. From here, the game opens up: exploring, building, Redstone, or even preparing for the Ender Dragon.
