So you have started a new survival game, what are the primary things you should take care of? Of course, they are shelter and food. Build yourself a basic shelter for the night and gather some food to go by. Once you have those secured, you can advance on crafting items for further builds.
4 Essential items in the early stage of the game

Eating raw food will get you only to a certain level. A furnace will allow you to cook food for better stats and will also be able to extract materials that you will obtain through mining. You can’t use raw silver or any other raw materials to craft items, you would need to extract them through the Furnace with some coal as fuel. This will give you ingots that can be used for further crafting. There are many other uses of the furnace, like extracting glass blocks from sand blocks and alike.
3- Tools and Weapons
You gain most materials and items in the game via mining and a bare hand can get you an only ton a certain point. To diminish mining times, effectively, and efficiently, you need to make the necessary tools. Let’s start with a wooden hoe that will help you with farming efficiently, a wooden or a stone pickaxe, a wooden or a stone sword, and similar stuff like that. A shield is also important to avoid the oncoming arrows from the skeletons.
