EinsEinundzwanzigEins

First is to set up key configs. The key configs do not need to be 100% atm. In the video options I set the gui to “2” and view bobbing off. Did you set a waypoint to the world spawn point?

Kill some trees with your bare fist and veinmining “shapeless”. The mousewheel can change the veinmining shape when the veinmining key is held. But for trees there is the “shapeless” setting just the right one. Make a crafting table and a pickaxe. Mine down with your bare fist until you find stone and then veinmine this with your wooden pick. The wooden pick is gone and you have 64 stone blocks. Make 2 stone picks, a stone sword, a stone axe.

Now search for a tower on the map and climb to top of the tower. Do not take to much from the chests as your inventory is too small for everything. Search some more towers to get iron for the shield and your first iron pick. Kill 3 sheep for the wool for your first bed.

The next priority is the shield. There is a mod installed which makes the shield extra useful. Before suiting up the shield is the most important thing to not get killed too often in this world.

With the shield equipped the next thing is to find 4 strings (cobwebs) and 4 leather (cows or zombies) to make a backpack. This is the next prority: Get a backpack.

While searching all this you certainly stumble over some create-buildings. Make a groups in the journeymap and collect your waypoints there.

I have some groups like “On the road” where I put interesting non-Create locations and “Lava lakes” where I put them. Lava is a most precious resource for the Create mod and I tend to destroy at least one lake totally with water for my first obsidian armor , tools and nether portal.

Pouring a water bucket and then veinming all the obsidian shapeless (and shamelessly) with the first diamond pick is very satisfying.

Before digging out the base we need to craft a “bank”. It should be upgraded to copper, at least. Waxed copper blocks and copper blocks will be parts of some create-buildings on the map. You can uncraft waxed copper to normal copper with the uncrafting table.

The bank has to be set to “void overflow”. As mineral chance is spoiling your inventory constantly with nuggets and dust and gems I suggest to put them into the bank so that your main inventory is just cluttered with everything you added. And not with extra minerals.

While searching towers and buildings you certainly stumble over some golden “Everlating Abilities” items. Great, but do not install everything you find. The ones you want are:

• Fire Resistance
• Conduit Power or Wather Breathing (only one of them)
• Entity Reach (up to ten)
• Block Reach (3 is enough)
• Luck
• Strength

You can always craft 3 in a standard crafting table to a new one. I put 2 totems into the table and shift-click a new one in and out until the crafting result shows something interesting. When all totems are tested then I take one out of the crafting table and put it aside. It will not be tested again this time. I put another 2 in the crafting table and beging shift-clicking one in and out again. I repeat that until all is tested. The main focus is to get fire resistance first for the first nether trip. But really, with the shield in place and some armor it is not needed so very urgently. You’re fine without fire resistance in the nether. But finer with.

Build a magnet from 5 iron ingots, an enderpearl and a redstone dust and a lapiz dust. Do never use Everlasting Ability for the magnetize ability. The magnet can be improved to its advanced version but this is not necessary just now. Keep in mind that you can craft demagnetizers which will disable magnets in a certain range. This is useful for any contraption where items are falling down. These items would end up in your inventory instead of being processed.

You have dried out a lava lake? Now you’re ready for the Nether. Believe me. You will most likely not die. Put on an obsidian armor suit. Get a diamond sword. Maybe decide to wear one armor piece made of gold just for the piglins.

Search the nether for:

• soul sand
• nether quartz (this is very rare now compared to older MC versions)
• glow stone (this is very rare now compared to older MC versions)

If you feel brave you may even raid a “bastion remnants” structure which can hold netherite upgrade smithing templates and even netherite ingots. I am not so brave and only raid bastions with fire resistance in place. There are some much more less dangerous structures which will give alot of templates and netherite like the obsidian temple. Mining netherrack will “Mineral Chance” allow to give you quartz, gold and netherite scrap. You can get netherite just by mining netherrack in the nether! That is cute.

You were in the nether? You now have some glowstone and quartz? Yay! Build a storage connector and a crafting terminal to connect all of your chests. If chests do not connect you can put some barrels as connectors between or under them. Bingo! Your first early game storage with crafting.
