Survival is one of the best modes on Minecraft. On survival, you have to eat, fight, and basicly survive to keep playing. Which means hunting for food, finding all the blocks you need, building, mining, and fighting monsters.
Timeline Minecraft Survival (Easy, Normal, Or Hard Mode)
The First Day...
1. When you first arrive on Minecraft it is important to find a tree... a tree can give you everything you need to survive your first week. Punch a lot of trees and craft these items.
Now take your pickaxe and find Cobblestone (any grey blocks). Ussually you can see grey sticking out of a moutain or in a small forest cavern. If none are available dig down about 7 blocks. Once you have at least 9 cobblestone blocks go back and build your house out of dirt or sand and put a door in. Now in the safety of your hut, craft...
Once you have a furnace you can smelt glass for windows and cook any of your meat so you won't get poisoned from it.
Great now you survived your first day/night! Now i suggest you start upgrading your little hut, such as adding windows, torches, chests. You should also start farming by punching bushes and getting wheat seeds which you can then craft a fence and trap chickens, cows, sheep, and pigs with. I also suggest taming a Wolf or Ocelot if possible because they are great protection. You should also start mining for Iron, Redstone, Gold ect.
WOW!! Goodjob if you made it this far but if you can't then try peaceful mode so you can just build your farm and mine in peace!

Everybody is good at different things and on minecraft it is important to reconize that; in order to do well and balance out your cubic life.

If your playing on multiplayer it is important to ally with others who are good at and like different careers then you in order to survive, have the maxium amount of rescources and dominate!!! Such as each morning each of you can set off to do your specific job (like if your hunter go off hunting ect.) and at the end of the day come home with your bounty!
