Okay, whenever i started a new world, i did the same thing, I built a massive house. First, i had fun doing it, and second, it motivated me to go mine to get more supplies for the house. That is a godd way to start. Also, skip copper. Go ahead and make iron armor/tools first. Now, the easiest boss is the king slime, but it is harder to spawn him than other bosses and he doesn't drop good loot (he drops a part of the ninja outfit which is awsome ^^ but not ingredients for armor or weapons) so build an arena simple by making two wood wals and placing alot of wood platforms between them so you have alot of agility. After you beat the eye make a war axe of the night and fight the EoW. Repeat the prosses several times until you have a full shadow armor set. You are now ready for junge and hell ! Now that you are a bit new to Terraria, my advice would be to stick with melee and guns/bows, but once you get more experience, you should try playing mage, since it is a very powerful and easy class. I hope this helped you.
