First, to kill any passive Overworld Mob in one hit, use at least a stone axe and jump before attacking to critical hit. You can slaughter the mobs at any time, just bear a couple of things in mind. Once you have two of each mob you want, you can breed them at any time you want- provided the parents have a five-minute cooldown period. Then, lure two of each species you want into the pen using their preferred food item (such as carrots for pigs, wheat for sheep and cows, seeds for chickens, etc.). First, create a penned in area with fences and fence gates. (Note: diagonal placement of the same crop decrease the growth speed by half, to avoid it, alternating rows of melons with rows of pumpkins is a solution)Īnother great way to obtain infinite supplies such as food, wool, leather, and other passive mob drops is to create a Mob Farm. If it is a melon or pumpkin farm, the following should be used: If this is a wheat farm the best way to go about doing this is to make an infinite water supply.Ī wheat farm should be set up as large as you care to take it so as to have max yield. Now, if you're on any other difficulty except for peaceful mode, you will need to have a crop farm. You now have a rather steady source of wood for repairs and pickaxes or other needful things. You could also use pistons to automatically push cobblestone away from the lava, letting you mine it without having to worry about any of it burning.Ī tree farm should also be set up so as to gain maximum yield harvest, so place your saplings around 3 - 5 blocks apart, with the exact distance between saplings depending on what tree you're planting. If you have sufficient iron, place hoppers underneath where the cobblestone generates, all leading into a chest, so the mined cobblestone ends up in the chest.

You may notice that sometimes when you mine the cobblestone, the cobblestone item goes into the lava and burns up. You should see cobblestone forming in the 3rd row. On each block in the 4th row, place lava.On each block in the 1st row of the hole, place water.Dig an additional block down for each block in the 2nd row of the hole.As cobblestone is an important resource in the game, create a cobblestone farm. access to at least one source of lava and water (a village with a weaponsmith shop has a lava pool and water from village farm or fisher cottage)Īn example of the cobblestone farm described in the text to the left.Īfter you have the basic survival supplies, the first thing you need to do is create a 'safe zone' (i.e., somewhere lava cannot set things on fire).at least one sapling of some type (except dark oak saplings, in which case you need 4).

1 or 2 buckets, which require you to find iron (by mining or raiding a weaponsmith's chest) to craft.You first need to make sure you have the following items: Once you have wood, you will need to make farms as quickly as possible.

The first item you need to survive is wood. If you are planning on staying in one area of the Minecraft world for a long time and don't want to deplete all your resources, read and complete this tutorial.
