A newcomer could easily be lulled into a false sense of security upon entering into the bright world surrounded by cute bunnies and harmless slimes. Don’t be deceived. You have 11 minutes and 15 seconds before night falls and you are ripped into pieces by packs of zombies, if you are not prepared. Your goal in the daylight remaining to you should be to kit yourself out with some better starting equipment from your surroundings and find a source of shelter, preferably underground, to pass the night.

If you're not used to playing sandbox building/mining games, it is easy to forget your greatest ability: the power to move blocks.

If you are busy fighting enemies at night, it may be wise to look for Fallen Stars while you're outside. 3 / 5 of them can be used to craft a, which will benefit you later when you obtain magic weapons.
