Survive Your First Day and Reach Day 2

Use the Blue Moon Window

Your first day spawns during a peaceful Blue Moon—hostile mobs cannot spawn. Use this time to gather essential resources before nightfall.

Gather and Prepare

1. Collect wood by punching trees with your bare hands

2. Craft a wooden pickaxe and wooden shovel (wooden shovel is your only early digging tool)

3. Mine stone to upgrade your pickaxe

4. Dig down carefully to find coal or charcoal for fuel

5. Gather dirt, sand, or clay for basic shelter

6. Hunt animals for food—eat meat or crops to maintain hunger and avoid malnutrition

7. Build a simple shelter with a door and roof before sunset

Prepare for Night

Craft a bed early, but remember: you cannot sleep during Full Moons or Bloodmoons. On Day 1, sleeping is safe. Build a furnace (Clay Furnace works for cooking food) and cook any raw meat before bed.

Stay inside your shelter at night. Mobs will be weaker on New Moons, but hostile creatures still spawn. Keep your health above 6 points by eating regularly—health regenerates slowly on its own, so don't rely on it alone.

Reach Day 2 by surviving until dawn.
