well, first thing i would do is go ahead, and try to mine the ores. dont be discouraged if u keep getting killed while mining. (u should have hell armor, and a molten picaxe to at least try however) (u need a hellforge to mine hardmode ores) make a cobalt drill first, at a iron anvil. Next, use the cobalt drill to mine mythril. Make a mythril drill, and a mythril anvil (repace iron anvil) finally, mine some adamantite, and craft adamantite ore together with ur hellforge to create an adamantite forge. now u will be able to make adamantite bars. Now, make a set of adamantite armor, and an adamantite sword, and repeater (you dont need to make an adamantite drill, unless you want to make a hamdrax, which requires hardmode souls). that should make surviving easier. Also, try and collect souls of night, and light, collect feathers and souls of flight (from wyvern, which spawn at high altitudes). once you have a lot of those, make a pair of wings (angel or demon, it doesnt really matter). Lastly, i would mine a ton of bricks from the dungeon, and put a layer of them around your house, so it is explosion proof. Thats about it, unless you want the hallowed armor, and weapons. to do that, you just need to collect like all the hardmode souls (at least like 50 of each to be safe) and craft a cobalt, mythril, and adamantite version of whatever your trying to make (for example, if u want a hamdrax, craft a cobalt, mythril, and adamantite drill, and combine them at the mythril anvil with the appropriate souls). The hallowed stuff is the best it gets, and it will make surviving easy. It took a while to write all this, so i haope it helps :D
