Tips & Tricks to Survive more than a day!

RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES ON THE FIRST DAY!

• Every minute is useful.
• Stay away from the caves close to you and anywhere dark a mob could spawn.
• Avoid the underground until you are really well protected with the armor you can get.
• Go to Ancient Cities and try to find Life Lights on chests to recover health. Trial Chambers and Treasure Bastions are also an option, however they have more hostile mobs.
• Craft torches in campfires with sticks to light up the place.
• Defeat Powerful Mobs to have maximum energy for a period of time.
• Always sleep; a single phantom can be deadly if unprepared.
• Settle in ocean, or biomes with fewer hostile mobs.
• Totems of Undying are and will be your best friend.
