- Getting wood: to cut wood, you need to create primitive tools first via bones. Bones can be acquired from animals.
- Crafting a crafting table: obtain sticks from breaking leaves, then put 4 sticks together to make primitive planks. Use 4 primitive planks to make a crafting table.
- Thirst: live too long without drinking proper water, and you will perish. You will need to get a furnace ASAP to make either glass bottles or terracotta bowls to drink water. And most importantly, water must be purified, either via a campfire, a furnace or the Create mod.
- Crafting your first furnace: you may notice that the furnace now requires three raw iron to craft. To get raw iron, you can't use a stone pickaxe either! You have to upgrade your bone pickaxe into a reinforced one using raw copper on the smithing table (which is also crafted with raw copper). Then, you would be able to mine the required iron.
